Speaking of Manu...He has gotten really clumsy and loses a lot of possessions. I hope he has been checked out by a neurologist.

The question with Manu has always been whether he'll be able to transition into the less athletic stage of his career. So far, the answer is mostly no. He was great because he was crazy and all over the place; now he's pretty bad because he's crazy and all over the place.
Manu had 2 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists last night on 1/6 shooting. Just horrible. But on the bright side, he can only improve.
No. He can't only improve. He can shoot more untimely airballs, foul more jump shooters, try to weave more passes through traffic, dribble off his own leg a few more times. He's killing us. And it could get worse.
I wonder if he's so all over the place that he needs more rest than any other starter. He might be so fatigued from the Dallas series that he's playing like crap. Either that or he's just old.
It's both, I think. His build and the fact that he plays so hard when he's in there are big factors in him getting so worn down, but age is what keeps him from being able to bounce back.
We relied on him so heavily in the Dallas series that he didn't have anything left in the tank for Portland. All of the close monitoring of minutes for an entire season was pretty much shot in those seven games.
I'd like to think that a couple of extra days off can refill his tank, but age is a tough wench. You just can't bounce back like you used to be able to. We shall see.

He needs to quit shooting those ridiculous off balance 3s. I know he is trying to get it going but come on
Yup. Cut back on the 3s.
Run the pick n roll. Over and over and over. I'd like him to only shoot spot up 3s. His off the dribble 3s have been so bad.

rabble rabble rabble.
Unfortunately, we'll all probably have to thank Manu for a crazy good performance again before all is said and done. Fire and ice type player.

Spurs close it out decisively tonight. Game's over before the fourth.
I'll be there!
Go Spurs!!!!!
Go Spurs!!!!!
BEAT THESE CLOWNS FROM PORTLAND
Tickets are actually pretty reasonable, I might head to the game this evening.
Have to say, watching the OKC-Clips game last night, the ref job was ridiculous. If the refs screwed over the Spurs like that against OKC, I might break some ****.
BES....
will* break some ****.
will* break some ****.
Indian guy that sits next to me was talking to someone about how hard it is for sports teams to stay on top for long periods of time. He mentioned the Spurs and Patriots.
Got 2 tickets Section 116 Row 24 on the isle if anyone is interested. $100 each which is below face. jschrader05@yahoo.com
Damn....wish I was there too. Great deal there on tickets Sher.
Maybe interested. Will answer for sure within an hour or two.
Sold em. GSG! End this tonight.
Can't afford another slow start allowing Portland to hang around. Blow this thing open in the first half and let's get some rest.
Wtf fouls??
Did Tim just do what I think he did?

Nice to see Timmy take it up the court
Great offensive rebounding right now.
Funniest play I ever saw was years ago Tim took the ball the lebgth of the court and got a ****ing layup off the fastbreak.
In other news we look like sheet on the offensive end.

Really refs? Wtf so now tiago can't post up on a smaller player and dominate him without it having to be an offensive foul.
Damn autocorrect.

Tim has actually done that a few times over the last couple years. He's not exactly Russell Westbrook but he can bring the ball up.
Spurs need to make someone besides Aldridge take a shot to beat them. He's on point tonight.
Yep, that's Manu. At least he scraped iron that time.
Ginobili couldn't even make a special Olympics basketball team...
