Thanks, TP

[timvp]

Legendary effort :tu

[duncan228]

It was.

[DAF86]

I want to cry.

[td4mvp21]

Yep. Too bad it was wasted.

[adidas11]

Great game by Parker.

[stéphane]

I feel sorry for him

[myhc]

AMAZING performance by TP. He was a one man wrecking crew out there.

[xtremesteven33]

Legendary performance from TP :tu

Epic Fail coaching from Pop the last 2 minutes :td

[VaSpursFan]

he's a warrior, a gladiator. he left it all on the court. that's all you can ask for.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah thanks to TP...

Sorry you couldnt win this year cause Bonner's a pussy, Finley didnt retire, Mason cant defend, and Pop cant coach.

[sonic21]

i feel bad for tony

[spursfan1000]

Very great game by Parker, too bad the refs spoiled it.

[timvp]

Just saw box score. +7 with Parker on the court. Every other player on the team was negative.

Amazing.

[ducks]

great game

[Thomas82]

Yep. Too bad it was wasted.

Hell yeah

[VaSpursFan]

Very great game by Parker, too bad the refs spoiled it.

you can't blame this loss on the refs

[eric365]

Great game by TP.

in 7 minutes without him => -16

[xapatan2]

I still BELIEVE

Game 5 at home for us.

Let's win it for once in Dallas for game 6, our role players can't that bad if we have the same energy.

Game 7 at home !

BELIEVE

Xap'

[kace]

great game. but the fact he's he was tired in 2nd half.

he still managed to be our best scorer with 12 points in 2nd half but you could see he was fucking tired. His missed FT attested that. when he's tired he always seem to miss them.

31 points in a half to just stay in the game.

43 points at 62 % and we still lose by 9. that's not good.

Anyway, great game TP. Thanks for the moment.

[Mugen]

great game TP.

[ducks]

could have more assist had others hit those shots

[EVAY]

Tony, you were epic. Thanks for today. It was awesome.

[Mal]

props to Timmy too.He fought with heart today. So sad that they don`t have any support.

[Spursmania]

Great game TP. You played with a lot of heart tonight and left it out on the floor. Sorry you had to lose with such a phenomenal effort.

[poop]

great effort by Parker. his team failed him big time.

[Spursmania]

Sorry the team let you down.:depressed

[BUMP]

Yeah, that was one of the worst performances ive ever seen by role players, not just from SA but any team ever. up until sometime in the 4th i think only Duncan, Bruce, and TP actually made a field goal.

but TP was out of this world. I cant wait til this series is over so i wont have to see him anymore :toast

[ducks]

tied iceman in a half 31 points

[baseline bum]

Damn, that was like watching the 02 team where Tim had to singlehandedly carry the team 40 minutes a night, every night. Legendary performance from Tony, even if it was an extremely bitter loss.

[Libri]

TP was a beast

[TampaDude]

An epic scoring display by TP wasted...just like the epic display of 3s by Finley and Mason in Game 1 was wasted. Face it, though, outside of Duncan and Parker, the Spurs have no consistent scoring threat. They are a much weaker team than their 3rd seed would indicate. Without Manu to give TP some rest, the Spurs have no shot...none. NFW they win 3 straight against the Mavs. They are beaten.

[spursfaninla]

TD played a VERY good game, except for his rebounding.

TP must feel like an island right now. He looks like he is playing for a lottery team (outside td)...


Hill had the next best +/-, BTW...

[dastrey]

The future is still bright fellas.

[gameFACE]

Tony's a badass! The SPurs were 6-23 from downtown. Tony made two of the six. He had to pick up that slack, too.

[timaios]

Just saw box score. +7 with Parker on the court. Every other player on the team was negative.

Amazing.

Spurs with Parker 41'12 = +7
Spurs without Parker 6'48 = -16

[Mugen]

TP has played brilliantly this series but honestly with a healthy manu, we are up 3-1 right now and probably closing out in 5.

oh well, great effort anyways.

[Flux451]

Great performance, can't wait to see his numbers next season.

[Borosai]

Fortunately the NBA isn't like the NFL, or we would see Parker holding out for a better contract.

No, he wouldn't do that, but he's a stud. Well done you.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I hate wasted individual performances like this.

[timvp]

Spurs with Parker 41'12 = +7
Spurs without Parker 6'48 = -16

:depressed

[SA210]

Legendary performance from TP :tu

Epic Fail coaching from Pop the last 2 minutes :td

[ducks]

spurs have to address this offseason if hill is the answer.........
and if he is play hin

[benefactor]

Just an epic performance. Everyone associated with building our roster should apologize to Parker and Duncan for the failure of a supporting cast they gave them.

[romain.star]

2 can't beat 5 (copyright: espn.com)

sorry tony...

[Budkin]

You need a team to win in basketball...

[celldweller]

Sorry the team let you down.:depressed

Sorry your coach let you down.

[NRHector]

Hey tony!!! Eva should give you some seriuos oral sex tonight and if she doesn't we'll send Spork killer, he is in love with you :toast

[SPURSGOAT]

Damn that boy can play... Excellent game on his part; too bad the rest of the team didn't really show up outside of Duncan. Parker was completely gassed in the 4th..

[peskypesky]

My heart goes out to Tony and Tim. They played so goddamn hard, but there's no way they can beat the Mavs and a stupid fuck of a coach all by themselves. i think they should both demand pop's firing. please bring avery in.

Pop is going no where... we are stuck with him til he decides to retire.

[Marcus Bryant]

And to think Holt Cat was prepared to let him leave.

[lefty]

TP :tu

[Dimes]

Props to Tony for an amazing game. Awesome effort. Sucks we couldn't win it for him.

[DAF86]

And to think Holt Cat was prepared to let him leave.

LOL we wouldn't even be in the playoffs right now.

[jack sommerset]

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Every point guard in the league has it way against DALLAS. That selfish boner thought he was actually a super star. Its all about Duncan! Not that side show. Let him shoot,let him drive. My God, the Spews just ran down the court with him knowing they would not get a shot with him at point. The guy is not a star.

[Marcus Bryant]

Wow. You're fucking stupid.

[Warlord23]

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wow. You're fucking stupid.

No, you are. Seriously. We have over a million post to prove it. Log off and go fuck yourself.

[ElNono]

:tu TP was a man today... shame on everyone else not named Timmy that didn't give him a hand

[Findog]

The Spurs got 43 from Parker, 25/10 from Duncan, the Mavs shot under 40% as a team, and Dirk/Jet combined went 7-26 from the floor. How in the fuck did you guys lose this game??????? If you told me that before the game, I would've said a Spurs blowout.

The offensive role players went 2-for-21 and the Spurs got destroyed on the boards.

[Findog]

Give the Mavs some credit in the second half for doing a much better job on Parker -- we still can't stop him, but he was "contained" in the second half. We did a much better job of denying him the ball, trapping him when he got it and not getting the same looks. It cost us on the 3-ball though, since Hill had two, Bowen had one and you guys had better looks from behind the arc.

I also thought Hollins did a great job when Damp went out with foul trouble. We've been able to get away with not sending a double at Duncan.

Because when Tony goes to the bench, the team production takes a complete nose dive. Players out of position, don't know what we're trying to run. You couldn't even say they didn't execute, because I don't even see Mason calling a play.
And to compound the problem, the coach decides that Matt Bonner is going to be the go to guy in the clutch with the season on the line... :depressed

[G-Nob]

Spurs got game 5.

They had this one but the spurs beat themselves. It aint over yet.

[peskypesky]

Pop is going no where... we are stuck with him til he decides to retire.

hope that's not true.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP is fantastic

Righ now, 04/25/09, he's the best PG in the world. Fuck CP3 and Deron, TP is just playing GREAT

[dtk]

I dunno dude... Best PG in the world has to get more than 3 assists...

He had a great scoring half though.

[Kori Ellis]

I dunno dude... Best PG in the world has to get more than 3 assists...

He had a great scoring half though.

:lol How would you expect assists when most of his teammates went 0-for-something?

[Spurs Brazil]

How the fuck he'd get assists playing with Mason, Bonner, Udoka, Finley...

If guys can't make shots your PG doesn't get assists

[kace]

:lol How would you expect assists when most of his teammates went 0-for-something?

and i can remember at least three-four times where he fed tim for an easy layup and tim was fouled (that's credited as an assist in europe).

[dtk]

I wasn't watching for it in particular, but I don't remember TP hitting tons of open guys who missed their shots...

[Kori Ellis]

I wasn't watching for it in particular, but I don't remember TP hitting tons of open guys who missed their shots...

He did. They kept clanking. He got 3 quick assists to Tim in the first half but no one else was making anything when he passed it out to the perimeter.

The Spurs like TP shooting 25+ times per game in the postseason (depending on the opponent). This year, that's more true than ever, but he did a good job dishing out too. His teammates just didn't come to play.

[kace]

I wasn't watching for it in particular, but I don't remember TP hitting tons of open guys who missed their shots...

you're not totally wrong. he was more in scoring mode tonight. he fed a lot tim (resulting in FT) but wasn't assisting too much outside shooters (three or four pass for open shooters who missed i think).

but if tony sees the rim on his drive, he usually goes for the layup, not for the outside assist.

[sook]

Agreed, i watched as he effortlessly dissected the mavs defense over and over again. The scary part is that he is only in his early 20s.

[Marcus Bryant]

No, you are. Seriously. We have over a million post to prove it. Log off and go fuck yourself.

We have 2k posts in the fan forum of a team of which you are not a fan.

[sook]

No body had over 1 FG apart from TD and TP the first 3 qrtrs. Jordan couldn't even win a game with nobody else stepping up. Looking forward to next year with manu and all the guys healthy.

[Marcus Bryant]

The last two games should be a signal to the FO that the supporting cast is that bad. Even with the surprise addition of Gooden late in the season, the supporting cast is worthless. Duncan and Parker play shitty in Game 3 and the Spurs get blown out. Duncan turns in 25, 10, & 7, TP plays at his best, and they still lose in Game 4. Sure, coaching decisions were a factor, but when you have that kind of production out of those two and with your opponent not really blowing up, there are some real problems.

Yes, Manu being available would result in a different series, but he isn't. I guess the Spurs are content to win enough in the regular season to make the playoffs and then after that who cares?

[wildbill2u]

Legendary effort :tu

The mark of a true superstar is when a player defies the odds and tries to carry his team to victory.

I don't think I've ever seen a gutsier performance by a Spur since they came to San Antonio.

Here's to you, Mr. Parker. :toast

[Spursone]

Tony hold your head up high, your a fucking warrior, maybe some of your effort rubs off on some of your team.

:wow

[Spooky]

You da man TP

[timaios]

Where was he in the 2nd half?

Well Tony scored 12 pts in the 2nd half as much as Dirk in the whole game. :toast

[SouthTexasRancher]

Tony you represented the Spurs extremely well and we're all very proud of you. You have the heart of a Champion like your buddy Timmy. I just wish we had a few more players with even a smidgen of heart. Hopefully Peter Holt will see to it that we once again surround you and Tim with winners. We just need to drop a few teammates off at the city dump first.

[ducks]

spurs need mason
and manu playing well
along with another big

[spurtech09]

yeah no doubt tony put everything on the line....so did tiimy d much love to tp and td....to bad you didn't have manu to torch the mavs and sorry nobody else on the team doesn't have the fire like you,duncan,and manu....good luck on tuesday....

[NRHector]

Where was he in the 2nd half?where was Nowitzki the whole game?

[nikegirl]

TP, this year you have shown that you are now a superstar. Next year we will see greater things from you. You are one of the reasons I can go into the next season knowing the Spurs have as much chance to win another championship again.

[reddog 99]

TP

Thanks for your heart!

You gave it all when it counted.

Never had a doubt! :toast:toast

[EVAY]

:lol how would you expect assists when most of his teammates went 0-for-something?

+1

[LakeShow]

TP would look good in Purple and Gold. Make it happen Eva. ;)

[Spursmania]

TP would look good in Purple and Gold. Make it happen Eva. ;)

You guys are good enough. We need him. Plus, Eva's from SA and her whole family is here. Have fun with the nuggets:lol

Maybe we'll meet next year.

[Borosai]

Only carnies look good in purple and gold. Parker is a Spur. :flag:

[biziofromdowntown]

TP would look good in Purple and Gold. Make it happen Eva. ;)

Bitches look good in purple n gold high hells on sunset boulevard.

[DPG21920]

Yes, Manu being available would result in a different series, but he isn't. I guess the Spurs are content to win enough in the regular season to make the playoffs and then after that who cares?

That is not exactly fair MB. Spurs made it to the WCF last year and Manu was hurt.

The Spurs tried to make some moves this year (Maggette, Camby, bringing in Drew...) and had to deal with another bad injury.

Lets see what the Spurs do in the off season over this year and the next before we accuse them of not caring.

[Agloco]

I dunno dude... Best PG in the world has to get more than 3 assists...

He had a great scoring half though.

Rofl.....and dumbass post of the year goes to dtk.

[tonylongoriafan]

i was there...greatest single game performance i've seen since the kobe-single-handedly-eliminating the spurs days...i'll never forget how tp left it on the court, ever

[Morg1411]

TP remains #1 on the Badass Chart.

This was a hard loss. Lucky for us, we know Tony is capable of dusting himself off after getting knocked down (in both the literal and figurative sense).

[Mavs<Spurs]

This is exactly how I feel. DA#$ ! :bang:ihit

[Brazil]

and there are still people saying that TP is not in the top 3 of the PG. Tonite for instance at half cp3 4 pts 2-7 3 assists and 3 TOs in 22 min.
