As they used to say in the old NBA Jam days, Boom-Shaka-Laka. But I am going to have to say Manu-Shaka-Laka as the man has done it again. Manu Ginobili is starting to become the player with the most offensive arsenal in the league and even managed to get the game winner with 6 seconds remaining in today's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, 100-99.
Manu's brilliance is excites me each time I refresh the boxscore on the games he plays. I just want to see what figures he will produce next. He is in such a groove at the moment that even the fieriest defenders might struggle. Luckily for the Spurs they have the only man that could stop him in Bruce Bowen.
As mentioned earlier, he dropped the game winner against the Timberwolves with 6 seconds remaining. It was his 13th field goal for the game in only 18 attempts, an amazing 72% from the field. This included 7 from 9 three pointers and threw in 11-12 foul shots to finish the game with 44 points. The man is playing with such precision and passion at the moment that it sends an ominous sign to the league not to right off the Spurs.
With the signing of Kent Thomas and Damon Stoudamire in recent times the Spurs are setting up a team that will have more speed and strength than before. Both of the new additions can score which is handy and Thomas should fit the team nicely with his hustle and strength under the rim.
Parker was back tonight as well and provided the team with 8 points in his limited minutes. I am not sure he is 100% fit but expect him to be leading the Spurs from the point very shortly.
Oh and Tim Duncan was just Tim Duncan tonight grabbing rebounds at will and scoring more than his fair share. The stat line reads 24 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals in what was just as an important game as Ginobili's 44 points.
Coach Onski Note: Farewell to Brent Barry and Francisco Elson who have both served the Spurs well in their time at the club. I am sorry to see Barry go as I think he was a potential game winner with the monster 3's he could land. You'll still be in my NBA Live team on the Xbox
