over confident tony parker embarrassed

[red kryptonite]

Parker was humiliated by Andre Miller.

Charles Barkley and Kenny were right, he definitely didn't look focused.

He was with his flavor of the month girlfriend and his reflective shades looking real cool.

It must be his French heritage to get all overconfident and think he's got everything down and then get his ass beat.

Tony Parker deserves a lot of criticism...not because he played bad, but because he had 0 intensity.

You're not going to outcool other teams in the playoffs.

They don't care what tv show your girlfriend is on or how you both wear spurs tshirts.

Thanks a lot, Tony. Looks like you choose Goria over your team.

I would rather have had Mike Wilks in the game trying and you sitting in the stands with Eva wearing a beret and shaking your pom poms.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I would still have intense relations with Eva Longoria, then take digital pictures with my digital camera. Then post them on the internet by transferring the pictures from my digital camera to my computer from 1996. I'm not sure if thats possible yet cuz my computer is so old.

[timvp]

I saw a still picture of him and Eva. That was before the game? TP walking in with Eva like he was some type of rock star?

Man, if true, F that. He doesn't want to win. Your point guard has to be a player who lives and dies about winning. It can't be a player who wants his face on television.

Parker got owned.

And rightfully so.

Spurs need a point guard who cares about winning.

[polandprzem]

Someone must tell Tony that women are not worth it. (They are ruining the world)
The game is far more important.

Get down to biseness Tony. It's playoff not offseason.
And I hope you do not want a offseason.
Time to earn tye contract.

That's all

[duncan2k5]

yea i got pissed at that too. sometimes he looks like he dont care about winning. when he travelled on a WIDE OPEN layup when he could have given naz the ball for the throwdown he was smiling. i know he did it out of exasperation but i dont want anyone on my team to be smiling for that, especially in a close game. I never been this mad at a loss for the whole season. i almost broke the damn tv. sometimes i think we lack mental toughness. we let other teams muscle us around too much and let them make us do stupid shyt. what the hell was beno doing? brent is a better point guard than him. the game was lost with that run at the end of the second. if we maintained out 9 point lead we would have been ok. someone needs to tell tony its the away games he usually chokes in. no the friggin home games in the first round. i wanted to pound him for missing a 3 ft jumper. and timmy needs to man up. he's letting them play him agressive and he isnt responding. he needs to go back to the old timmy that used to dunk on guys when they make him mad, not miss 0 tf hookshots. geez. and we need to incorperate big dog into the rotation. we aint gonna win with defense alone. im still mad about tony. its game time and he's coming in the f*cking place with a girl on his arm like he's brad pitt or bon jovi. i dont even wanna be around a girl when im watchin the game. he needs to start taking this shyt seriously or else i would want a trade for a pg who wants to win. if everyone on the team had as much heart as manu and naz, we wouldn't be in this shyt. nuggets must have had like 100 rebounds. i was so pissed the whole floor of my dorm came in to see what happened when i was screaming at the tv. i swear if it was mine i would have broken it. i cant wait till wednesday's redemption

[duncan2k5]

damn that was long

[SuBZer0]

Yea - it was a bad move on Tony's part - but he will learn from it and I'm sure we can expect more intensity and less Eva next game

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Yea - it was a bad move on Tony's part - but he will learn from it and I'm sure we can expect more intensity and less Eva next game
"I have a dream..." lol Tony just had a bad game that's all, it just happened to be during the playoffs.

[Kori Ellis]

I don't believe that Tony is all starry-eyed and thinking of Eva while on the basketball court, being distracted or whatever.

He just sucked. It didn't have to do with Eva, or his brother being there, or his friend Boris Diaw. He just sucked.

He got owned in the first half by Andre Miller and then didn't even make his first basket until there was like 3 minutes left in the second quarter.

When you have that bad of a start and you let the guy you are guarding get off to that good of a start, it's hard to recover. He has to sack up and learn.

Revenge on Wednesday.

[timvp]

Tony shouldn't have been thinking about his desperate housewife. He should have been going over game tape and preparing for the game. He came out like it was a summer league game and didn't have any fire. Andre Miller destroyed him. Parker didn't get going until Pop called a play for him late in the first half. At that point, Miller was outscoring Parke 19 to 0.

I've always been patient with Tony Parker, but if he pulls another stunt like this ... he's going on my $hit list right next to Hedo Turkoglu and Karl Malone.

This is about winning -- not getting face time on tv.

[boutons]

"sometimes i think we lack mental toughness."

These Spurs are not tough, have failed many tests this season, most of them created by the Spurs themselves. They've been soft on the road against good teams.

The Spurs' league-best, franchise-best season dominance @SBC predicted a win tonight.

We can only hope the Spurs' season mediocrity on the road doesn't predict how they will do for the 3 games @DEN.

The Spurs were supposed to "flip a switch" for the playoffs? I thought that was BS when I heard it, and now I now it is.

[SuBZer0]

I don't believe that Tony is all starry-eyed and thinking of Eva while on the basketball court, being distracted or whatever.

He just sucked. It didn't have to do with Eva, or his brother being there, or his friend Boris Diaw. He just suckedNo - he isn't distracted on the court. However, I feel that he shouldn't have made a show and strolled in like that - he needs to show that he cares and is focused & ready. What he did wasn't the best way of showing that..

[Kori Ellis]

No - he isn't distracted on the court. However, I feel that he shouldn't have made a show and strolled in like that - he needs to show that he cares and is focused & ready. What he did wasn't the best way of showing that..

Did you guys get mad when he "strolled in" last season with Lolo? He was wearing his sunglasses then too. Or is this just about Eva? :rolleyes

[Duncan21]

he just had a bad game, im sure we will see a different tony parker in the next game

[timvp]

The difference is Eva is a flavor of the month chick who is banging half of Hollywood. Him strolling in with her is meant for both of them to get on tv. It was no accident.

That's crap that shouldn't even enter the picture come playoff time. In the regular season, that's fine. But this is do or die playoff time. Avery Johnson refused to talk to his wife during the playoffs. He didn't even stay at his own house when the team was in the postseason. He was focused 100% on winning and everything else came second. That's what a point guard should do.

Not come strolling in looking for face time and then be unprepared to play and get owned.

Unacceptable.

[nickbroken]

You're all right I think I should take Eva off his hands for the rest of the playoffs so he can focus.:D

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Did you guys get mad when he "strolled in" last season with Lolo? He was wearing his sunglasses then too. Or is this just about Eva?

Well that probably explains then why he looked like shit against LA after game two.

[rwb]

Jeez, enough ragging on Eva. I'd think if anything Tony'd play better in front of her to try and impress her. Hopefully he'll cowboy up and retain his focus on Wednesday and not fall apart like he's done in previous playoff games.

[red kryptonite]

This sort of thing is unfortunately one of parker's traits.

Tony needs to be prodded as the season goes along to remain focused and it will take a loss here or there to actually get his attention.

He is one of the few players in the league you can actually tell really takes another team lightly.

He's the type, if the team is on an 8 game winning streak, he'll walk into the game seeing the 9th as a given.

Even better, with his team as a high seed in a playoff series, he'll already have moved on to thinking about his next opponent, dismissing the opposition at hand.

Parker will be ready Wednesday...too bad he needed to lose Game 1 first.

[CosmicCowboy]

jealous virgins forum...

[Ginofan]

Tony has to take some blame on this loss, but not all of it. There are plenty of people to point fingers at (Tim, Manu, Bruce) but I think we also need to try and focus on the next game...I don't know about you guys but the more I focus on the loss the more sad and grumpy I get. My co-workers and family don't really like that lol

[Uncle Donnie]

This is why Tony takes a lot of heat in here. He is very cocky, which sometimes is a good thing for a player. But when you are cocky and you play poorly, that tends to really piss people off. It doesn't have anything to do with Eva. It also doesn't help that usually when he has a bad game it is either because he was totally unprepared and gets schooled by his opponent, or because he is pouting over not getting involved early.

Parker is still really young and I think a lot of people forget that. You just hope that he becomes more focused as his career goes on. For now this is the kind of stuff the Spurs have to put up with. I understand people getting pissed but don't act surprised because it isn't anything we haven't seen before.

It doesn't help that his main backup played like shit as well last night.

[IceColdBrewski]

Disappearing act #1 in the books for Parker. What a shocker. :rolleyes

I thought you had a wife...



Uncle Donnie, thanks...for nothing :rolleyes

[Uncle Donnie]

Uncle Donnie, thanks...for nothing :rolleyes

WTF? I basically agreed with you. But it's not like Tony hasn't pulled shit like this before, so I don't see putting it on Eva.

[stéphane]

It must be his French heritage to get all overconfident and think he's got everything down and then get his ass beat.

you never ever meet a french guy it seems...
shut up when you don't know what you're talking about dumbass

sorry stephanie.


UD - I never said it was about Eva, she's just an accessory to Parker's actions. She could have very well been cherry vanilla or lemon lime.

You can just think whatever you want about TP, but don'ts start with the french thing and over confidence... I could just take 1 american dumbass (it exists no? :p) and say oh he's a dumbass, it must be his US heritage...
I would make a 40page thread so dont do the same...
Parker is over confident = true
Parker is french = true
No link.

[bigzak25]

alot of chippies were missed in the 4th...not just tony to blame for this loss.

and i didn't like the camera time of him and his latest walking the tunnell before the game either, but i'll reserve judgement on tony's focus and testosterone level until after the playoffs....

[nkdlunch]

I think Beno should take a lot of blame too. Everytime he stepped in the court he fucked up and Pop had to put Tony back in immediately. This didn't help Tony at all. And you cannot blame Tony for San Antonio's 0-17 or whatever it was.

BTW Pop fucked up too, if his team is going 0-17 he should have kicked ass all over the place. Instead he had the same look he had when USA got buttfucked in the olympics :oops

[Neonmoon83]

WTF?! You guys are a bunch of whiny B!tches! Tony sucking on the court is on him, not his girlfriend, or his best friend or his family. He's the one out there. IMO all the spurs sucked last night minus Mohammad who was the only one playing his ass off. Even Tim sucked! :wtf Plus you guys weren't whining when Eva was there to watch Tony win it for the spurs in double overtime. Stop playing the blame game and suck it up to ALL the spurs sucking donkey balls!

[GrandeDavid]

Look, Tony will be back and focused on Wednesday. Obviously he must feel somewhat humiliated now. If he didn't have some sack I don't think he'd be the starting PG on the team with the stingiest defense in the league. Like Kori said, he had a poor game and probably...definitely...underestimated his competition. Look for Parker to come out very aggressively on Wednesday, and even if the shots don't fall initially, eventually they will.

[Rydia]

I have a conspiracy Theory...

Eva Longoria is dating Tony as revenge for Jack Nicholson. As soon as we make the finals Jack is gonna pay Eva to break up with him...and then we will be the laughing stock of the NBA....

No?

AMEN! Eva has been to a lot of games and the Spurs win. I think Tony is old enough to realize when work is work and playtime is playtime. He doesn't need anybody holding his hand to tell him that he has to work. She goes to support him...and I'm sure wives and girlfriends go to support the other guys.

[FearDaFro]

The difference is, (and this is a BIG difference).....you don't show up to a PLAYOFF game WITH your gf/significant other/trophy wife. You show up alone, to get your mind focused and prepare for a very important day at work. I thought Kenny Smith nailed it perfectly when both he and barkley said they never once saw a teamate show up to a playoff game WITH their woman.

Tony is still a kid. Obviously, he got sidetracked. By what, who knows? But he does look like he needs to take the game more seriously.

oh bullshit...Tim Duncan and Amy show up together all the time...I vividly remember seeing them walking together down the hallway to the locker room last year during the playoffs...

y'all sound like those ignorant ass coaches I used to have that didn't want us to have sex before a game...that is an old wives tale that has been scientifically disproved...

[johnny00]

I agree with alot that has been posted but for gosh sakes lets not say that Tony is still a kid, physically yes, playoff wise he has more experience than many veteran NBA players.

The fact of the matter is he melted in the playoff series against the Nets and Speedy Claxton saved our asses to get us that trophy.

Last year he dissappeared in the Laker series and no one could save us then, although Manu did his best.

This year when his mind should be more focused to bring us our third ring he comes strutting around like some one off People magazine and melts down again. Real cool dude.

This is the one thing that irritates the hell out of me about Parker he has so much talent but when it comes time to really bring it on he cringes and chokes. Again.

And yes I know Charles Barkley is there to stir up some controversy with his observations, but don't you think Charles would know a little about someones focus in a game especially one in a playoff type atmosphere???

Please Tony slap that smirk off your face you got the girl we know that, she's beautiful and every guy wishes they were you, we get it.

But if you don't turn around and adopt a professional attitude about your job and responsibilities to your teammates the love affair between you and San Antonio won't last much longer.

Just my opinion.

[Tek_XX]

The french were actually very good at war before WWII, but that's beside the point.

I don't think tony struting in with his girlfriend had anything to do with the sorry performance last night, he was not alone obviously. His overconfidence is sometimes a turnoff but when he can back it up it's refreshing compared to former Spurs who were worried more about losing a game than actually winning it.

you know who the fuck can blame tony

[beirmeistr]

new member here--I'm not even sure I am posting properly.
I have been a passionate Spurs fan since 1998 when we got Duncan.
last night's game left me so angry so frustrated, so empty that i have to vent my frustration somehow. The Spurs stated that they were ready for game 1. So what happens---they let me and other Spurs fans down bigtime by reverting to their fear-of-the-Lakers mentality in crunch time. Tony parker shamed the Spurs team by showing up like a rock star and delivered NOTHING, playing without passion, with fear.Duncan played well for 3 qtrs and stunk up the place in the 4th qtr. The only warriors that showed up for battle were Ginobili and Mohammed. I think even Coach Popovitch was too stunned to react timely.
To me, Parker is an adequate point guard but he has never impressed me with his basketball IQ. he is very good when he sprints to an unguarded basket but appears to be afraid to drive if there is a big man under the basket. And I do not see any intensity in his play.
IMO, the Spurs are worrying about Miller and Boykins when in fact the Nuggets should be very concerned about containing Ginobili and parker.
I still think the Spurs will win the series but they sure complicated matters with an unnecessary loss. And if Parker cannot deliver as point guard, I think Coach Pop should put Ginibili as the point guard and move Parker to shooting guard.

[nuggets in 6]

Yeah, that was funny that Charles commented on Tony Parker being so layed back. Parker wasn't out played, he was owned by Andre Miller. Was parker in when Andre hit that shot from near half court to tie up the game going into halftime?

[CosmicCowboy]

Andre Miller had an out of body experience last night. His game of a lifetime. Enjoy it while you can. You boy was a whoppping 6-39 beyond the arc all season. Please take more threes Wednesday Andre...

[Spurgal]

Tony, deja a la Eva en casa y ponte a trabajar!

[CHAMPS AGAIN]

a game changes everthing,before everytime EVA was at a game TONY played great now he has a bad game and its EVA fault he is not focus bla bla bla
this is not directing at you Kori,but alot fans in this forum love to blamed somebody after ever loss they need to get off the bandwagon.SPURS will come back and win the series.Kori, you are right TONY had a bad game,but the SPURS had a bad game and a ugly 4qtr.and with a minute we still had a CHANCE TO WIN THE GAME

[Brodels]

Was parker in when Andre hit that shot from near half court to tie up the game going into halftime?

Tony sucked hard, but he wasn't responsible for that one. Bruce was on Miller when he made that shot.

[waly.mg]

EVA isn´t the problemmmmmmmmmmm

Or the Last season in the Lakers series or in the 6Th game of the 2003 finals series Eva was in the field too?

Tony is a square head in the Big Games

But Tony can shut my mouth, but that´s waht i wanted more ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[stéphane]

well, i wanted to say something...
lets talk a second about his over confidence.
when you're a little frenchmangoing to a foreign country when 19years old, with your job being the PG of an every year NBA contender. You earn tons of $$$, you date a TV star(mmm she's cute isn't she?), and your coach tells you hundred times a day that you're the best PG in the league because he wants you to feel confident about your play...
because Tony does need confidence to play well...
as a result you're 22y old in that kind of environment, is it normal to become overconfident or would you blame him...
YOU make someone an star by talking about his GF and stuff, dont expect him to be like everybody else... or otherwise treat him like he was the next man.

[T Park]

Parker is still really young and I think a lot of people forget that. You just hope that he becomes more focused as his career goes on. For now this is the kind of stuff the Spurs have to put up with. I understand people getting pissed but don't act surprised because it isn't anything we haven't seen before.



Exactly right.

Once again TIMVP living in the past with his no sjump shot abrasive dickweed former point guard.


Ive said it before the kid is still a kid. Hes gonna be like this sometimes.


And I would say to Kenny and Charles, were you hard core serious at TWENTY THREE for a game??

Hell no.


Everyone get the fuck off his back.

[GoSpurs21]

just blame this on Tony, like Tim's 5-22 had nothing to do with the loss?

Tony played like shit, Duncan played like shit, Bowen played like shit, Pop coached like shit, the bench didn't show up.

Duncan's the star on this team, if he's too hurt to carry the team, he needs to pass up the shots to his open team mates. It's so funny how everyone in this forum blames everyone but Duncan. Everyone on this team is accountable no one gets a free ride hurt or not, everyone needs to nut up.

Stop with the babying of Duncan....

[johnny00]

And I would say to Kenny and Charles, were you hard core serious at TWENTY THREE for a game??

For the kinda jack he's getting paid he'd better be hard core serious.

Holy shit, that is the biggest pile of apologist shit I've ever read. Do you wear an Eva mask and sleep with his picture?

[CosmicCowboy]

Holy shit...you guys are fucking patheric...Andre Miller has an out of his mind career game and Tony has a mediocre game and you guys spend 3 pages dumping on him for having a girlfriend...I just don't get it...

After the Spurs have a blowout win tonight are you guys gonna sack up and come in here and admit you panicked like a bunch of little schoolgirls with a mouse in the room?

[Kori Ellis]

I don't think anyone is exactly "blaming it" on his girlfriend. But a lot of people see a non-chalant, unfocused attitude coming into the game is what got Tony in trouble in Game 1.

[Obstructed_View]

Tony Parker certainly didn't arrive at the SBC center with his game face on, and his play reflected that (6/17 5 TO). People are going to notice. The 2 time NBA champion and the hall of famer noticed it and pointed it out, why shouldn't anyone else?

I agree that everyone is panicking, and I agree that people forget that Andre Miller won't average 30 points for the whole series, but Parker deserves to have a little criticism thrown his way. He really does have something to prove. Everybody will be happy to drop it if he shows up for the rest of the playoffs.

[CosmicCowboy]

I don't think anyone is exactly "blaming it" on his girlfriend. But a lot of people see a non-chalant, unfocused attitude coming into the game is what got Tony in trouble in Game 1.

Sorry Kori but I still call bullshit on that one. How was he nonchalant? He gave his girlfriend who was visiting from out of town a ride to the game? He wore sunglasses? So Barkley and Kenny from thousands of miles away can make a judgement about what Tony was thinking and these guys throw it back like a bunch of trained parrots?

[Obstructed_View]

All Parker had to do was not crumble in the playoffs - again - and nobody would have mentioned it.

[CosmicCowboy]

I get it now. Maybe tonight he should go Artest in the tunnel and trash a TV camera. That will show them he is serious... :rolleyes

[CosmicCowboy]

but Parker deserves to have a little criticism thrown his way.

I don't have a bit of problem with criticism of Parkers play last night...Duncans too for that matter...they both have played much better...I DO have a problem with guys calling his girlfriend a whore and blaming it on her...

[Kori Ellis]

Sorry Kori but I still call bullshit on that one. How was he nonchalant? He gave his girlfriend who was visiting from out of town a ride to the game? He wore sunglasses?

CC, I didn't say I agreed with it, I said that's what a lot of people see as non-chalant and unfocused. He wore the same sunglasses last season, so I'm not complaining about that.

BTW, I think Eva has a car here when she's in town. So I think she could have made it to the game without him. Most players don't arrive to the game with their family in the postseason. They arrive very early to the arena with their focus at hand. That's what people are complaining about.

[MadDog73]

What about wearing a 2003 Championship t-shirt?

Is that just stupid or what? First, it was 2 years ago and just reminds people Tony is one of the reasons we don't have another Banner.

Second, isn't there an unwritten rule that you don't wear a Champion t-shirt unless you are the current champion?

[Obstructed_View]

I get it now. Maybe tonight he should go Artest in the tunnel and trash a TV camera. That will show them he is serious... :rolleyesNo. He needs to NOT CRUMBLE IN A BIG PLAYOFF GAME. That's all. Nobody will say anything if he scores 5 points and plays as hard as he can. What he does is disappears. The reaction of most Spurs fans is out of embarassment for him, and the onus is on him to prove the perception wrong. All he has to do is give effort.

[ggoose25]

women make for weak legs

[spur219]

Women do give you weak knees. And it does not help that she is their at the games especially sitting next to Tony's brother. Tony was not focused and it might of cost them the game. Tony needs to go out and play hard and like a winner.

[Phonzie20]

I saw nothing wrong with the footage. TNT just aired the 'walk-in' for it's own advantage.

Don't listen to Chucky... bad for your health.

This might be the worst take ever.

He's 23 so he doesn't have to be that serious.

Great.

[BigVee]

LeBron looks pretty damn serious when he plays.

[MadDog73]

Of course, look where LeBron is now.

Yes, Tony is the PG, he makes the offense work. But just like to can't blame this loss solely on Pop, you can't pin it all on Tony either (even as bad as he played).

Fact is, NOBODY could make a shot in the 4th. Period. And we had a lead going into halftime that slipped away when we pulled Tony out. Tony stays in = WIN?

Not saying Tony doesn't need to improve in Game 2 (and I'm confident he will), just saying he's not the ONLY reason we lost.

[red kryptonite]

Tpark, come on. Really, just come on.

You have to do better than that. He's been in the league 4 years now. When he's 25, are you going to be saying he's 25, he's still just a kid. 15 year olds have more intensity at CYO games.

"stephanie is a female first name...lol read again its stephane Mr red CryTonight
You can just think whatever you want about TP, but don'ts start with the french thing and over confidence... I could just take 1 american dumbass (it exists no? ) and say oh he's a dumbass, it must be his US heritage...
I would make a 40page thread so dont do the same..."

so quick to point out who is a dumbass, but it is you who thought i was really confused about your name. oh, and i don't care. you write your 40 pages and i'll write you a two minute reply when i get back from my girlfriend's house.

"Andre Miller had an out of body experience last night. His game of a lifetime. Enjoy it while you can. You boy was a whoppping 6-39 beyond the arc all season. Please take more threes Wednesday Andre..."

What is more likely: Andre MIller had an out of body experience and the game of a lifetime or Parker didn't come to play?

Hmmmm...once a lifetime or once a month.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I get it now. Maybe tonight he should go Artest in the tunnel and trash a TV camera. That will show them he is serious...

I don't have a bit of problem with criticism of Parkers play last night...Duncans too for that matter...they both have played much better...I DO have a problem with guys calling his girlfriend a whore and blaming it on her..."

You get it because you think by wanting Parker to be focused, this means he should break a tv camera? Uhm, doesn't sound like you get it.

I know I wasn't blaming it on Goria. She got included because she was with him strolling into the playoff game. I blame that on Tony. And you might be the only on earth who doesn't know what's going on there. Goria is the definition of the phrase "flavor of the month." I'd say she's a garden utensil, but that would make her look useful.

"After the Spurs have a blowout win tonight are you guys gonna sack up and come in here and admit you panicked like a bunch of little schoolgirls with a mouse in the room?"

I didn't panick. I actually stick with the Spurs in 6. I was disgusted with Tony's lackadaisical look.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sorry Kori but I still call bullshit on that one. How was he nonchalant? He gave his girlfriend who was visiting from out of town a ride to the game? He wore sunglasses? So Barkley and Kenny from thousands of miles away can make a judgement about what Tony was thinking and these guys throw it back like a bunch of trained parrots?"

You don't have to be in hallway to see what's going on, boy. It's kinda like when the Spurs games are on TV and I watch them. I still see what's happening, but I'm not there. It's like magic.

[CHAMPS AGAIN]

What about wearing a 2003 Championship t-shirt?

Is that just stupid or what? First, it was 2 years ago and just reminds people Tony is one of the reasons we don't have another Banner.

Second, isn't there an unwritten rule that you don't wear a Champion t-shirt unless you are the current champion?

Oh oh I wore my champ.t-shirt for game one thats why they lost it was because of the shirt,no more champs shirt to any SPURS game anymore

Hmmmm...once a lifetime or once a month.

uhhhh....have you ever WATCHED Andre Miller? He is known for his steals, assists, and turnovers...he is NOT a go to scorer...he is normally an AWFUL shooter....the guy literally had a career night Sunday...


You get it because you think by wanting Parker to be focused, this means he should break a tv camera? Uhm, doesn't sound like you get it.

It's called sarcasm bozo...read with comprehension of the context of the statement...

Hay cosas que no logro entender. Por mas que trato no puedo.
Vengo de un pais como Argentina donde se vive y se respira futbol. Donde los jugadores viven con una presion tremenda, donde ante cualquier partido en particular, se concentra 24hs antes, para alejar completamente del jugador distracciones de cualquier tipo.
Ni hablar de lo que es un Mundial en si, concentracion un mes antes del torneo, no permitir relaciones sexuales durante el torneo. Todo tiene un fin, preparar la mente y el cuerpo para un objetivo en particular, ganar la copa.
El domingo veo a Tony entrando a SBC Center de la mano con Eva, y me puse como loco, parecia que volvia de vacaciones. Yo se que son profesionales y todo eso. Pero existen otras formas de eliminar distracciones, que aunque Kori piense que no tienen importancia, yo como hombre te puedo decir que a la hora de jugar en alta competencia, tiene trascendencia.

Mensaje para Tony Parker: Olvidate de Eva por un momento y ponte a trabajar!
