Manu

Manu needs to be more aggressive looking for his own shot tonight.
He turned the ball over a lot because the Heat were playing him to pass, and they were right. Ironically, the best play he made was the drive at the end of regulation where he got fouled and didn't get a call. If he did that on the first 40 minutes of the game, he would have gotten to the line, or the Spurs would've been able to get more put-backs. He also needs to not hesitate when he gets an open 3, even if he misses a couple. Nobody is respecting his pump fake from out there b/c he's not even TAKING the shot, let along making it. Otherwise don't even hang out above the 3-pt line, and just look for opportunities to cut to the basket and receive a pass.
