C'mon. He's a Slovene. We know his type.
Told you that mother er was a scrub.

Nah, Manu just hit a load of 3's. When his 3's aren't falling he can't get to the rim like that.
Funny how good a defender Sarah Silverman is when Manu is playing on one lung and one leg.
All of Manu's threes were in the first half. Kill yourself.
Vujacic is the next Beno.
Book it.
Scratch that : Beno >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sasha
Manu scored most of his points with other people guarding him.
How did he do in the second half against Sash?
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought I saw Manu get to the rim tonight.
Next.
works best on a hobbled defender but proved to be against someone determined?
Manu just woke up at the level he should have been playing at. Meanwhile Vujacic played the same and couldn't hang.
He started getting to the rim towards the end of the 3rd in L.A. and his 3's weren't dropping at all in that game. He's slowly beginning to overwhelm Sasha. I expect the Lakers to trap Manu harder and put the game on Tony or Tim's shoulders on Tuesday, just like NO did TP when he went off on them in games 3 and 4.
That and 1 he got at the rim doesn't count as a beyond the arc three pointer.
Drink draino nut.
manu abused sasha tonight. up and unders, draining j's and getting to the rim. manu was agressive and went to another gear while sasha stayed in his only gear.
perhaps someone did show Sasha my bravatar...
I called your bravatar on manus god thread - you did it!! manu needed some bravatars to get healthy!
Hmm, well he scored 11, and my lasting impression of Sasha's defense was the ref blowing the whistle and ringing Vujacic up for another foul.
Next.
Sasha plays aggressive defense, and that can be disruptive. But when Manu is returning the intensity, he'll always come out on top in that duel.
sasha's D is solid. i think game 1 and 2 was a combination of great defense and a hurt manu. it is unfair though to say that sasha is a scrub. the guy has been money all year, and his D is solid. just cuz a player torches you on offense doesn't mean that you are a bad defender. if that was the case then lakers fans could make the case that bowen is a horrible defender based on a few games. obviously we know that bowen is not a terrible defender. by the way, i am not sayng that sasha is just as good of a defender as bowen. just trying to make a point. ginobili had a GREAT game though. props to him, and your team, for bouncing back.
I approve of this post.
Yea, this was only one game. If Game 4 plays out similiarly, then we have a series. Otherwise, this game would just be about the Spurs not geting swept.
It's funny how many moronic Laker fans actually thought Vujachick would be able to contain Ginobili for a whole damn series.
GIIINNNNNNOOOOOOBBBBILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Fatigue seemed to be overtaken by pure adrenaline tonight by Ginobili.
Let's hope he can lead us to victory again on Tuesday.
Spurs are smart, I trust they'll try to perform the same to even better in game 4, because they still made a lot of mistakes in the first half, and later in the second half. The first half was masked because Manu hit huge shots for us.
I hope the motion, passing and teamwork continues, because it makes it a lot easier for us to score layups.
it's not about containing ginobili. its all about making him work for everything he gets. spurs fans don't hope to shut down kobe, cuz you know he is gonna get his. you just hope that you make him work for everyone. that they are tough contested shots with a hand in his face. we feel the same way about ginobili. i feel sasha can do that with ginobili. i think sasha did a good job today defensively actually, ginobili just had an INCREDIBLE shooting display. a lot of giniboli's shots (one in particular) were heavily contested and he still knocked him down.
