Parker's Turnovers

[Ibanezsr]

are at a career high so far (3.15 a game) and he is only averaging 30 mins. a game. He is forcing everything... Maybe Pop should start calling plays again???

[boutons_deux]

I think Tony's head as gotten too big.

He needs to humble down, and get his head back in the game he's paid to play, is capable of playing.

[duhoh]

don't get too penisy kid

[JustinJDW]

Yeah, and it's not just Parker, but our whole Team. Turnovers is why we lost to Denver.

[TIMMYD!]

And Boston.

[JustinJDW]

And Boston.Yeah, and Boston.

Parker needs to play like he did last year. Is it that hard?

maybe he should not try to find his new players
and play just they do not exist
his turnovers were done when he did that

new roster makes you have more turnovers

takes time to find where new players want the ball

his head is not to big
just because he has confidence unlike manu
much smaller then the president

pop is asking him to get the others involved this year so far dumbass

[Solid D]

Parker's driving the turnover machine tonight.

[urunobili]

:pctoss

[exstatic]

Tony, overall, just looks like ass this year. His quick is turned off, his ball handling is casual and sloppy, and the teardrop is MIA.

[DPG21920]

Parker should be fine. But ducks is lying. Most of TP's turnovers are not from tying to be more of a play maker. If you watch the games, his turnovers are coming from over dribbling and getting stripped because he has not been as explosive as last year.

He has had numerous costly turnovers that were not a result of Pop's direction or coaching or other teammates, and they have come at pivotal times in the game.

Having said that, everyone on the team is doing it and hopefully they will all get better.

Ducks: queer.

[Sigz]

TP: 5 turnovers tonight.

Upping the average every game.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't see how he's going to get better..

He clearly needs a long rest to get some energy back, but we can't afford to rest him, we desperately need Ws just to make the playoffs at this point..

He's a 1-D turnover machine right now..

[Josepatches_]

I would bench him some games and put him in the second unit like we did with Manu.He has to play less minutes and we weren't playing worse when he was out.

If Manu is healthy I would change their roles because Manu is clearly out of rythim while TP is clearly tired and he's going to be worse without rest.

[xellos88330]

Tony is getting all of those turnovers because he is passing the ball too low in the pick and roll. Saw that twice tonight. It just so happened they were at critical moments in the game.

If you read the Parker interview from earlier today, you'd know he's still injured. When he gets healthy, I'm sure his TO numbers will go back down.

I don't really see how he's going to get healthy without a good rest though..his playing style doesn't allow that IMO..

[ffadicted]

Sloppy basketball can be fixed. We just need to pull off wins against contenders to get our swagger and confidence back.

injury has little to do with throwing the ball to the 2nd row 4 times a game.

Truth is Pop said he was going to let Parker run the offense. Well that plan has failed. Time for plan B.

Oh and STOP GIVING PG MINUTES TO MASON!!!!!

[DPG21920]

You can clearly see TP is still hurt or tired. There is definitely something wrong and it has been obvious the entire season.

When you are injured, you are mentally and physically tired and make mistakes. I'm not saying that's the excuse for all his turnovers. I'm saying it's a contributing factor.

[EmptyMan]

Parker is Parker. He shows up in the playoffs.

[spurs10]

Thanks duncan228. I hope he gets the rest he needs, but I wonder when and how.

That's my feeling as well.

Tony lacks his usual quickness and explosiveness when driving to the basket. And of course this also affects his ballhandling in those situations. A not-so-small number of his turnovers seem due to lack of concentration/focus, however.
