Manu Ginobili: Leading the Spurs over Kobe and the Lakers (2008 WCF Game 3, 30 points)

    Manu Ginobili got out of his slump and scored 30 points (22 in the first half) in the Spurs' 103-84 win over the Lakers in game 3 of the 2008 Western Conference Finals. Manu had been struggling with a stress fracture in his foot (that only continued to get worse with no rest in between seasons).
    Just a reminder of what Manu is capable of and why Pop counts on him to lead a spark off the bench.
    Another Spurs upload on my Birthday!

    When i see Carmelo saying he wont go to the bench, i always think of Manu. Manu got 4 rings, and Melo got none. I think this says a lot about their approach to the game.

    How many other late second round NBA draft picks (#56 in the '99 draft) have come so far? That should have inspired those drafted late since Ginoboli's retirement and should inspire future late draftees.
    I would not be surprised to see Ginoboli's children take up basketball if they haven't already.

    Game 4 was close, and there was no-call on Bones' game-winning three-point attempt.
    As David Stern's favorite cash cow and ratings-stuffer, the Lakers had a lopsided trade to get Pau Gasol midseason.
    San Antonio tried, but close games won't work against L.A., plus Manu not fully healthy.
    Boston Celtics winning the franchise's 17 Title was the consolation that year.

Im my opinion spurs had a chance to take game 1 but Kobe being Kobe did not want to loose that game 1 in a ass whooping. And without the return of Derek Fisher this team would have a hard time containing a prime Tony Parker like always Fisher always finds a way to outplay Parker that was so frustrating to watch everytime.

    How different that series could have been if Manu was healthy, or more importantly, the Spurs hadn't blown a 20-point lead in the opener. That team didn't have enough consistent firepower flanking the big three. I was at Game 4, and what I remember most, more than the non-call (don't forget there was one before Barry-Fisher that gave Spurs the ball), was how many chances SA had to pull in front out of timeouts and how all of them ended with mostly wide-open misses.

    • @Manuginobili1000
      @Manuginobili1000 5 років тому +2

      Yeah which is why I don’t really like how some fans say we were robbed, in 2006 and 2008, the spurs just ran into teams that were healthier and playing better than they were at the time. Also as you said, spurs also didn’t have enough firepower around the Big 3 at times because they’re role players: Horry, Finley, Oberto, Udoka were inconsistent, Especially Horry which is why I find his recent comments about how he feels Timmy and Manu choked him out of 2 more rings amusing. In 2004, he didn’t play well against the lakers at all, in 2006 he struggled and had one of his worst playoffs ever and barely scored in the series against Dallas, and in 2008 he was a bit overweight but still did nothing against the suns, hornets or lakers. And he has the nerve to talk? I really think if Manu were healthy, this series would’ve went way different. But I honestly just feel our bench was a little too old at the time to go back to back.
