He never says what the headline says. Which is blackboard/ iness material. "We're more aggressive than Dallas/LAL is at PG and want to make Russ work" is not.
I catch your point DT but we can make a case for westbrook being a tougher matchup for parker because westbrook in iso is a more of a nightmare than cp3 due to his athleticism. He can basically rise up over parker for nearly uncontested shots. But to your point parker has faced way stiffer comp thus far in conley and cp3 than sessioons and kidd.
I'd be surprised if this article happened without the FO approval. This seems so contrary to how the FO works. My plan was to bait RW into a shoot out...this would play right into that. I'm going to say brilliant move for the moment until we know more.
Parkers statements were not taken outta context, but seriously over blown... Parkers not calling him out. He's just stating the obvious.....
Damn, Parker is really badass this season
To adapt a quote from 'Lil Wayne, "Tony don't go around fire expectin' not to sweat."
My goodness, you all are a bunch of pussies, afraid about what Parker said or might have said. And yesterday's posts from ST members squeamish about positive press when the Spurs were compared to the '80s Celtics. Here's a tip:

Like the swagger from Tony. Now to back that up. I think hanging out with Stephen Jackson is rubbing off on Tony. Even though Jax has played lately ever since he joined the team he's added the 'swagger factor' which seems to be contagious. It's good . Just back your words up and play like your the best PG in the NBA Mr Parker.
Neither has Parker...

That's about the most obvious statement one can make. The corpse of Kidd and Ramon Sessions aren't even in the same galaxy of Parker. I don't really understand what offense Westbrook could take to that comment.
And, tbh, if Westbrook wants to react by shooting more and passing less to Durant, that's fine.
I think Paul is a better point guard than brook..
Why? Would you also be angry if Tony said, "Kobe won't score 30+ on us", and goaded Kobe into jacking up 35+ terrible shots to attempt to prove him wrong?
The more Westbrook forces up shots the better imo. He'd be taking possessions away from Harden and more importantly away from Durant. I'd prefer that tbh. Maybe he'll charge more too.
Chris Paul is better than Russell Westbrook. Paul got shut down, BIGTIME. Before you even think to mention "played hurt", Paul himself said it wasn't serious and didn't effect his game at all.

Why be so scared. Prove that on the floor. More often than not our guys do it.
Yes Parker is damn right
TP will show westbrook what a top PG is
Paul's good but not as explosive as Westbrook. Paul also looks to get his team involved more while Westbrook is needed to score for the Thunder.
Yeah, right. At Westbrook's age, Parker already had 2 rings and had gone toe to toe with both Kidd and Payton in the playoffs (among others). Just sayin'
It's gonna come down to experience. OKC beat up on some weaker teams which is what they were expected to do. Playing SA will definitley be a different experience for their whole team. We shouldn't take them lightly, but we definitly shouldn't being shaking in our boots either.
Can't believe people think the front office is behind Parker saying something like this.
This wasn't even controversial, but it's like some of you have never listened to a Tony Parker interview before. The guy is very candid and pretty damn honest.
both will cancel each other out. next.
This was a topic on first take today. I wouldn't be surprised if tony was told to put a little fire under westbrooks ass. Skip made a great point that Westbrook could definitely be getting baited to try and "prove himself" in a battle with tony. He will put up 30 shots while KD only shoots 20. Playing right into our hands. Taking this even a step further...He's called CIA pop for a reason and we will NEVER know, but that could have come from Pop. Westbrook is fueled by his emotion and Pop is smart enough to use that against him. But if that's true, nobody will ever know.
if you listened the postgame interview with tnt and westbrook
westrook said mentailly he would and hten harden and durrant would have to play tough
he then said they won several games in a row have not lost in awhile
spurs may not be thinking about the streak but the other teams are
experience is not the reason spurs will beat them
lakers had more experience then thunder but lost
That's what I was thinking too. Now, I would imagine Westbrook will most certainly shadow Parker on the defensive end. If so, he will have his hands full.
