It's just f***ing great to see Tony back

[MmP]

I don't care if you think we're better without him, where not. This teams improves tremendously in the offense, he opens up shots for everybody, especially for RJ running.

Thank god he's back

[Chico]

Finals MVP..

[Hemotivo]

f***ing

:rolleyes

[TJastal]

I don't care if you think we're better without him, where not. This teams improves tremendously in the offense, he opens up shots for everybody, especially for RJ running.

Thank god he's back

I thought that was the whole point of moving RJ to the 2nd unit, because he was uninvolved in the spurs' offense.

Is this some revisionist history here?

[Hemotivo]

tony is back

[Spurs da champs]

Your a dumb ass, all he does is ball hog.

[lefty]

Nice 3 possessions TP

Suns say thank you

[lennyalderette]

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nice Tony, single handedly engineering an 11-2 Phoenix run to end the half.

[GodFamilySPURS]

Tony Parker is AWESOME!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Tony's defense is unappreciated, tonight he looks very slow but that'll pick up as he gets into game shape.

[spursfan09]

This thread should be deleted. Save the panicks and meltdowns for after the loss...

[chasky]

We Don't need These Tony Parker, he's out of shape, too slow, with the same bad mid range J And he kill the ball movement.

[SequSpur]

Nice Tony, single handedly engineering an 11-2 Phoenix run to end the half.

exactly...

wtf was that?

[DPG21920]

:lol So predictable from this place

[Spurminator]

Knew I shoulda bet the under on 1.5 games...

[lennyalderette]

its ok, he knows san antonio hates him and thinks hes a bitch so hell be gone soon thank jesus, and the bad part is hes not even acting like its his fault out there like he doesnt give a shit !!!!! all he cares about is starting and his nemisis "hill" is injured so hes in heaven because theres no one we can go to now, if he doesnt want to play defense he doesnt have to. this sucks because it takes manu out of the game, and fucks i mean fucks everything up!!!!!! pop's more than ready to pull the trigger keep smiling frenchie, cant wait to see if you smile in minnesota you short bitch

My "ALL-TIME BALL HOG TEAM"

SF Dominique Wilkins
PF Walt Bellamy
C Patrick Ewing
SG World B. Free
PG Tony Parker




Response to JR:

****** the questions probably should have been rhetorical, I give you that. What I asked are in fact the criteria I used to name my starting 5. I wanted to justify why I thought players such as Iverson, Jordan and Bryant would not make my ALL-TIME BALL HOG First Team. I used assists averages on some like Bellamy & Ewing. Ewing has the worst assist average (1.9) of any so-called All-time great center. Numbers aren't everything, but they do mean something. In the case of Tony Parker. He passes the "least with the most". I've never seen a starting point guard with such a talented team...... Duncan, Ginobili, and a host of good spot up shooters....... pass the ball so little in all of my 32 years of watching basketball. The Spurs are hard to watch, but I do notice that in close 4th quarter action, quite often Parker is on the bench. I think even Popovich recognizes that the offense flows better without Parker in the game. I could go on, but I'll stop here.******

[Spurminator]

For most NBA teams, reinserting their point guard into the lineup after a 15 game absence is going to be a smooth transition, and they should be expected to continue a streak of wins against Playoff teams on the road. But those teams have point guards that are a hell of a lot better than our scrub.

[lennyalderette]

:lol damn why are you so mad? take an anger mgt class.... jealous of TP? anyway SA does not hate him. You speak for yourself. Only the stupid people of SA who don't know how to punctuate properly hate him.

You are making up so much crap and lies it's unbelievable. Calm down or take a step away from your computer .. or at least off my board, you moron.

[ohmwrecker]

You never go full retard, man.

Tony's killing us this quarter.

[Kori Ellis]

fine .but it looks like you need to take a step back yourself. idiot

Really?

Today, you have spew so much crap here it's unbelievable. We get it.. you hate Parker, but keep the lies to a minimum.

Here, I'll help you.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Well you fall under the "stupid" category

I'm stupid for hating a player?

[spursfan09]

I'm done in this thread, but learn to be a fan of all players. That way when TP starts to score his usual 20 points you won't feel like a dumbass for cheering when the Spurs win because of it.

[lefty]

Really?

Today, you have spew so much crap here it's unbelievable. We get it.. you hate Parker, but keep the lies to a minimum.

Thats a badass ban :lmao

[Kori Ellis]

I'm stupid for hating a player?

Yes.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I didn't cheer for Parker when he won the Finals MVP. I won't cheer for him if he goes down as the GOAT. I just don't like the guy.

[Spurminator]

I didn't cheer for Parker when he won the Finals MVP. I won't cheer for him if he goes down as the GOAT. I just don't like the guy.

That's pretty stupid.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Yes.

Is it okay for me to hate Kobe?

[Kori Ellis]

Parker has been out from a long time. I'm not sure what y'all expected.. a seamless transition?

You all didn't hate him last year when he was carrying the Spurs on his back.. you were too busy hating Manu for playing for his national team and being injured.

Enough already. They are all Spurs.. learn to like them, or at least stop making up dumbass lies and spewing nonsense 24/7.

[Kori Ellis]

I didn't cheer for Parker when he won the Finals MVP. I won't cheer for him if he goes down as the GOAT. I just don't like the guy.

Pretty dumb, considering you never met him.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Pretty dumb, considering you never met him.

That is true. But I don't think I would like him even if I did meet him.

[Quiet Strength]

That is true. But I don't think I would like him even if I did meet him.

Why not?

[Kori Ellis]

That is true. But I don't think I would like him even if I did meet him.

Oh, I'm sure you would.. he's one of the nicest Spurs. People think he's an ass because he has an actress wife and goes to Hollywood to spend time with her. He's not.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Why not?

I didn't like his rap album.

[Spurminator]

That's pretty stupid.

Although, I will say at least you can man up and say what the other cowards around here won't.

Parker just rubs some people the wrong way. Which is fine. But the emotional reaction some posters have when they see his silly little French face is causing them to come up with some pretty ridiculous basketball takes.

[Quiet Strength]

I didn't like his rap album.

:lol

[Kori Ellis]

Anyway.. you all need to simmer down. Parker doesn't hate Hill. The Spurs don't hate Parker. Parker doesn't hate San Antonio, blahblahblahblah.

You guys turn rabid when the Spurs are losing.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I think Bonner is the bee's knees.

[SequSpur]

Anyway.. you all need to simmer down. Parker doesn't hate Hill. The Spurs don't hate Parker. Parker doesn't hate San Antonio, blahblahblahblah.

You guys turn rabid when the Spurs are losing.

Parker is now part of the exit strategy plan...

[lcroock]

The Spurs need TD-TP-MG to all play well if they are going to win it all. That's what happened when we won our last three titles. Take note and stop bashing.

[SCdac]

all I know is...

Tony Parker >>>>> Garrett Temple

the sooner Parker is able to and ready to log 10+ minutes more than Temple the better... but it will take time obviously.

[ChumpDumper]

:wow:lol:depressed:toast:sleep:married::downspin:: bang:wakeup

:nope:tu

[Dr. Gonzo]

I actually speak in jest about Parker. I've had a Parker jersey since his rookie year.

[SequSpur]

all I know is...

Tony Parker >>>>> Garrett Temple

the sooner Parker is able to and ready to log 10+ minutes more than Temple the better... but it will take time obviously.

yeah, that's an interesting take...

Parker is a frickin allstar and a finals mvp and temple is making minimum wage..

[Bukefal]

parker has been out from a long time. I'm not sure what y'all expected.. A seamless transition?

You all didn't hate him last year when he was carrying the spurs on his back.. You were too busy hating manu for playing for his national team and being injured.

Don't you know the protocol around here yet? You never blame Parker's (or anyone else's) defense when there's a convenient scapegoat named Roger Mason to blame.

If Pop were to actually bench Mason though then we might actually have to admit it wasn't Roger's defense that lost the game. But I'm sure some of the douches would try to make that debatable

[DesignatedT]

Really?

Today, you have spew so much crap here it's unbelievable. We get it.. you hate Parker, but keep the lies to a minimum.

Here, I'll help you.

Thank you. That guy just radiates stupidity. Even if it is only for a limited time.

[Cry Havoc]

Kori, can you just start locking threads like this? The Parker hate is fucking ridiculous, and it's getting old to read.

Just an idea, of course.

[ElNono]

I think it's great Tony is back and he's trying to get back in shape with the second unit.
Ultimately, I would have preferred to keep Manu at the point until Tony regains his touch, but we have nobody solid to play at the 2...

[Sisk]

Parker has been out from a long time. I'm not sure what y'all expected.. a seamless transition?

You all didn't hate him last year when he was carrying the Spurs on his back.. you were too busy hating Manu for playing for his national team and being injured.

Enough already. They are all Spurs.. learn to like them, or at least stop making up dumbass lies and spewing nonsense 24/7.

Honestly, these parker haters did expect a seamless transition, and that's why they're upset

[roycrikside]

Honestly, these parker haters did expect a seamless transition, and that's why they're upset

The Manu haters wanted him traded in January because he wasn't playing like the Manu of '05 after not touching a ball for six months.

[TDMVPDPOY]

parker haters trolling, you hatin

gino haters trolling, you hatin

no player is bigger than the team

[jjktkk]

Anyway.. you all need to simmer down. Parker doesn't hate Hill. The Spurs don't hate Parker. Parker doesn't hate San Antonio, blahblahblahblah.

You guys turn rabid when the Spurs are losing.

Rabid, or just plain ignorant?

[jjktkk]

thats a badass ban :lmao

[TDMVPDPOY]

did kori went pms all over lennyalderette

[spursfaninla]

I think it was wise to keep this open, because it is illustrative of what not to do.

See that pointless, illogical, random hate-speech against Spurs players is not appreciated.

The "rabid" comment was perfect.

The ban was a hole in 1.


That loss was not on any one player. No one caused manu, RJ and Bonner to shoot 1-12 for threes, they had bad shooting night (although RJ should avoid shooting 3's, he is mediocre at best).

no one caused the team as a whole to give up tons of fts.

No one player caused the spurs to turn the ball over so much.

It was obvious playing the game the Spurs did not bring the right intensity, Manu was having a bad night, we miss Hill, and Parker is still shaking off rust and getting his 3rd gear and passing back.

Still, this thread was golden. Hate for hates sake.
