I like the iness without talking trash.
Do not like. Don't add fuel to the fire, Tony.
This is a brilliant gameplan by the Spurs because I don't necessarily think it was Parker's idea to say this. What you want to do to a young superstar is play off of the few negatives that come with youth, which is that feeling of invincibility and lack of humility. OKC isn't a talking team so I doubt they fire back hard at this, but the idea is to get into Westbrook's head with this comment. Make him think, "Man these old dogs really don't respect me, let me show 'em what's up."
Basically you want Westbrook to take these comments the wrong way and attempt to beat Parker head to head, whilst Parker will be trying to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder. I seriously doubt Parker gives two s who the other team's point guard is at this point.
Parker trolling Westbrook. Hopefully Westbrook takes it personally and shoots even more than usual. The less the ball is in Durant's hands the better.
It's not iness, just fact. The corpse of Kidd and Sessions, seriously?
Plus the statement for the article was probably taken out of context. Probably, the question was something like, "Is it true that Westbrook, in the previous series, has not had to face a PG with your characteristics?" To which Tony probably answered, "That is correct, it will be different than that of the Laker/Mavs series." People just trying to hype the series tbh.
That said, why the F do we have to wait so long. Bring it already!
lmao the media narrative is dangerous. in this case it's hilarious. lmao has anyone actually seen the interview. the question was "do you want to make RWB work harder on defense". Tony's answer was yeah we don't wanna be like Dallas or the Lakers their PG's aren't aggressive. He didn't even say what the article le says.
Does anyone have the full quote or know what he said exactly?
I'm curious to see what he said exactly.
In this article, the only quotes from tony are "it's not going to be like Dallas or the Lakers" and ''not as aggressive".
It could be taken out of context
Nope, that's all he said. He never says what the headline says.
The question was "do you want to make RWB work harder defensively"
and Tony says yeah we dont wanna do what Dallas/LA did, they're not as aggressive, we wanna go at him.
Yahoo OBVIOUSLY wants to portray Tony in a villain like way and make put thoughts into people's heads and create bad blood that isn't there. Nevermind all the times Tony compliments RWB and OKC in that interview.
At first I didnt want Parker to fuel the fire, but I see it now. Perfect.
First salvo. Please do not let this esculate to Mia/Ind and we have to worry about broken noses with Nick Collison's six hard fouls on a per game basis.
Didn't Westbrook face him during the regular season
And Tony hasn't faced one like Westbrook either. His offense scares me. The D on Westbrook is the key to the series.. We can't have Durant and Westbrook both scoring 25 plus per game with a good %..
I thought this before I posted my quote tbh. Cp3 is not as athletic and explosive as westbrook. The only pg I liken to westbrook is rose. Tp has his hands full.
Pop will start off straight up but eventually we're gonna have to shorten the floor and throw doubles to get the ball out of their hands. When this happens we'll live with them chucking up 3's, but the bigs will have to step up and prevent layups.
Going against CP3 beats the out of going against a 40 year old Jason Kidd and Ramon Sessions/Steve Blake. That's what Tony was getting at. Tony also said that Westbrook is a lot more aggressive than CP3.
CP3 is a harder team matchup because of how well he creates for others. Westbrook is a great scorer that Tony is gonna have to D up on and get his on the other end..
Green will help on Westbrook when Harden isn't in the game.
IMO Green plays him and Parker hides out on Sefalosha.
I really hope Yahoo made up that story and TP didn't say that .
They twisted a quote and made up the headline. Tony complimented OKC 800 times then was asked "do you want to make Westbrook work hard defensively", and he said we wanna make them work as Dallas/LA's PG's weren't as aggressive. That's IT.
Yahoo clearly had an agenda with that headline.
Jesus. Just look up.
He said it in the practice videos. You can go watch it on spurs.com. It wasn't a knock on anybody, just the facts. Westbrook hasn't had to expend any energy on the defensive side of the ball the last 2 series going against a 40 year old and two scrubs.
TP dropping truth bombs. Now. Back that up game one son.
