Worst poll ever, tbh, imho, etc etc

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Word on the street is that Manu's going to suit up for the Denver game on Sunday. Will he score 20 points against Denver?

I'm going to vote "no" tbh.

Hmm I voted NO, Manu Ginobili will never score 20 points ever again.. where did I miscalculate... ??

[jalberto]

People you have killed...are perfectly alive.

IMO I'd have to say no tbh. He's been riddled with injuries this season, and he couldn't even get close to scoring 20 for the few games that he came back for (until...surprise surprise!...another injury).

I think it's pretty obvious that he's going to retire after next season when his contract is up. The 3 year/$40 million contract was a lifetime achievement award contract, after all. There's no way the Spurs F.O. will give him 2 lifetime achievement award contracts, and no other team in the league wants a TOSB. He's not a pure shooter like Steve Nash, and his passing abilities will be rendered useless once the league figures out that Manu's no longer a scoring threat, so he doesn't really have any skills that will allow him to stay in the league beyond the age of 35.

He can't explode at the rim with his "toothpick" ankles (lest he wants another stress fracture). His shot is pretty much gone after his hand surgery (you can tell by the way his free throws clanked off the rim to the left and right). If he plays any more than 15 minutes a game, he'll be too tired to make a 3 point shot, so that's pretty much gone. By Manu's own admission, this is without question Tony Parker's team now, so even if you disagreed with everything so far, Manu won't be taking 15-20 shots per game because he's no longer the first option (or second option...or third option IMO).

Taking into account the fact that Manu will most likely have another season ending injury next year, and taking into account the fact that it takes him 3 or 4 months to warm up and get in a good rhythm (which he doesn't have this season), I think it's a safe bet to say he'll never score 20 again.

So what do you think spurstalk, will Manu Ginobili ever score 20 points again?

[Dr Cox]

20+ points!!! wooohooo

[TVI]

Worst.thread.ever.

[will_spurs]

Ok, so he did it. But is he ever going to do it again?

[Spurtacus]

Manu doesn't need to score 20 points. The big 3 do not need to combine for 60 or 70 points for the Spurs to win. The 2012 team, right now, is the deepest team I can remember. Maybe not the biggest, but there are plenty of scorers.

in retrospect it was really a great thread
