Parker is the only one who has plays set up for him still.
Pop hasn't installed a system for Either of those guys yet.
But I do agree that Parker playing well may define how far we go.
Pop is trying to force the Spurs to be Kawhi's and LMA's team. It's only had marginal success so far as we saw tonight. The problem is that we need Tony to get his. He needs the ball in his hands to be effective. Therefore, he needs at least 15-18 shot attempts per game. It has always been a known fact that Parker is the head of the snake and if he isn't given the opportunity to penetrate and carve up the defense as he is accustomed to doing, then we are at a disadvantage. Sure he was 3-10 tonight, but he's more of a volume shooter like Kobe. Kawhi and LMA can be efficient with under 10 shots per game so I say just let them get their stuff in the flow and allow 10-12 more shots a night for Tony. Then you will see us wreak some havoc. Vive la France!

True. Even now, the only guys who can really create their own shot consistently remain Tony and Manu. Mills and Kawhi to a lesser extent.
The only reason I could semi-agree with this is because an off-ball Parker is just so ing useless.
Unfortunately when Porker is off, old sport doesn't let go of the ball
He's much better with the ball. We need to let Tony shoot volume and the other guys get it in the flow. That's how we win - because he can't get it going with 8-10 shots per game but as we saw the game before this one, if he gets a rhythm with his shots, we usually win. He makes us go still. He is our PG, and although it's not saying much, he's a much better creator than Patty Mills.
Parker is a system player I agree.
Kawhi and LMA has to rely on talent because parker never sets them up.
Porker airballed 4 layups & got a tech b/c he was pissed Ish was outplaying him
He's not forcing nothing, it's Kawhi/LMA team now.
Do you really want Parker having more shots than them?
Too bad Kawhi can't run the offense unlike Jimmy Butler. Porker would have been irrelevant.
Jimmy's handles are far superior to Kawhi's tbh. That's why Kawhi's not running the offense.
OP's avy and sig makes me think he is joking. Otherwise this is one of the dumbest ideas of all-time.
I don't like Kawhi and LMA iso as a first option. That's not Spurs basketball. It's forced and unnecessary. They should get it in the flow unless the play is broken - then let them chuck it up one on one.He's not forcing nothing, it's Kawhi/LMA team now.

What's so funny. It's true breh.
Damn...you're so funny. Kawhi had Gordon on him in several possessions, what you expected, he should exploit that type of mismatch.
He was aggressive when he was supposed to be...just his shots weren't falling but he has to take those shots.

Mark of a true Superstar HOFER. He takes responsibility and wants the ball in his hands even when things aren't going right. Not afraid of missing or failing. True leader.
Kawhi is a top 5 player in the league..7 at worst. Kawhi wont run the offense, thats going against what the spurs are trying to do.
Kawhi's offensive skillset isn't on par w/ Jimmy Butler/Paul George, he won't be a superstar until he improves his play-making skills.
Kawhi is a top 10 player b/c of he the best wing defender in the league & can also create his OWN shots. To be a top 5 player he has to be able to run the offense & make plays for his teammates.
Is there a reason Calispurfan has Enrique Iglesias as an ID picture?
Is this a funny thread?
Have you seen Jimmy Butler play? He's got handles and court vision unlike Kawhi. This guy has a complete game the likes of which we haven't seen since Michael. Complete monster. See below.
Nope. Disgaree with the idea that he has to run an offense in a team where Parker and Ginobili plays. Does not work like that tbh. The team sure dont operate like that.
Hes a 20ppg scorer-best defender in the league. Not even sure if you can name me a player that was 20ppg and best defender in the league and wasnt considered top 5.
No one in their right mind, unless you are a bulls fan would rate butler over kawhi...Butler is not even top 10 let alone 12...so you want to trade a top 7 player at worst for a top 15. Sounds stupid to me.
This guy's playing in the East against ty teams most of times and is lucky that after the All Star he's selling contact and getting calls, he's nothing w/o the FTs...
