March 2, 2008
Coach Gregg Popovich said that Manu Ginobili would stay in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, but Michael Finely, not Ginobili, was in the lineup for the Spurs on Sunday. Ginobili played 29 minutes off the bench, the first time in the last 12 games he hasn't topped 30 minutes. He scored 17 points while adding four rebounds and three assists. Ginobili had been an animal since moving into the starting lineup 14 games ago, so this is not a positive development for his owners.
March 2, 2008

"At this point, it's not a point of contention for anybody," coach Gregg Popovich said. "We'll probably just roll with the way we're going for now." Ginobili has been a monster since moving into the starting lineup 14 games ago, and fantasy folk must be thrilled that Pop is finally willing to turn his guard loose. Let's hope it lasts.
March 1, 2008

Ginobili had five rebounds and five assists, so his overall numbers were there, but it wasn't exactly one of his better outings. Strangely enough he seems to be struggling more now that Tony Parker is back in the lineup.
February 25, 2008
Manu Ginobili was held to just 13 points on Monday night, this coming on the heels of a 5-game stretch in which he averaged over 34 points an outing.

February 21, 2008
Manu Ginobili continued his amazing run of late as he poured in 44 points which included the game winning shot with just over six seconds left in the Spurs 100-9 victory over the Wolves. Ginobili made 13 of 18 shots including an amazing 7-for-9 from downtown.

Manu is on absolute fire right now having hit 19 three-pointers in his last three games, and he is also working on a streak of 4-straight games with at least 20 points.
February 11, 2008

Ginobili now has converted eleven 3-pointers over the past two games on 11-for-23 shooting from behind the arc. Wow. Manu continues to pour in the points for the Spurs and tonight he was able to limit his turnovers to two in a spectacular effort.
February 10, 2008
Manu Ginobili scored 21 points including making 5-of-11 three point attempts in the Spurs loss on Sunday. Manu also tossed in four rebounds and four assists, but those six turnovers were certainly enough to put a damper on his line. Though he is scoring, rebounding and dishing out assists at a career best clip (19.1, 4.8 and 4.5), Ginobili is also turning the ball over 2.8 times per game, a career-worst mark, while shooting the ball at a 43.5% clip, his work percentage since his second season in 2003-04. You just have to take the good with the bad.
January 7, 2008
Manu Ginobili finally returned to game action on Sunday after a five-game absence. He came off the bench to scores 23 points in 29 minutes of action. Ginobili had been out with a sprained left index finger, but after his extended rest, he should be fine going forward.
