Average Manu Thus Far Against Bucks

For a while it did look like he was back but much to my fear, it wasn’t the case in San Antonio Spur’s four of the last five games.

Tonight I was hoping to see the dad to be Manu GINOBILI (twin boys to be exact!) would able to come up big against the Milwaukee Bucks and it was pretty much average game. The Spurs did out run the Bucks to win 112-97 with Manu posting 13 points, 8 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.

“We just had a different mind-set tonight,” a positive Manu said. “We played very aggressively and moved the ball really well, so it's easier to make shots. We didn't walk the ball up every time. For me, getting a couple of easy transition baskets makes you feel better. That was the big difference tonight. We played faster and better with faster pace. It was more fun, definitely.”

Hopefully slowly he would gain the same form that we were so used to watching from him. On the opposite end, Carlos DELFINO started for the Bucks and posted 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal.

In the absence of Tracy McGRADY, Luis SCOLA played a leading role for the revamp Houston Rockets as the continue to pile misery on the New Jersey Nets with 98-93 win. He posted 17 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist.

In other games, Fabricio OBERTO posted 2 points in the Washington Wizards 89-101 loss to Minnesota Timberwolves. Andres NOCIONI only had 1 point and 1 assist in the Sacramento Kings 103-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
