CROFL TP Haters

[Spurologist]

Has hit the clutchest shots this series. FUCK ALL THE HATERS!!!

[baseline bum]

All you "Spurs fans" who want him traded suck. The Spurs were dying and he saved them with those two Js.

[TheSpursFNRule]

He won that game for us.

[ShoogarBear]

Proof of the irrationality of the Parker Haters.

[slick'81]

really who needs tonY parker lmao

[Spurminator]

As a wise man once said, eat shit fuckers.

[gilmor]

Has hit the clutchest shots this series. FUCK ALL THE HATERS!!!

I can't believe all the motherfuckers who want so much to trade him.. Aggie, Lefty, SenorSpurs..

Man.. You guys got no fucking clues how fucking clutch he is..

GHill>Tpaker?? Yeah.. take that..

[MI21]

Still the Parker is un-clutch myth will continue.

Fantastic game Spurs, real guts it out stuff from everyone.

Fuck yes!

[san antonio spurs]

TP has been clutch for the spurs for 4 years now. they hate him because he's french:lol

[lefty]

TP's next big game will be in 5 years

[smeagol]

Focking clutch!

[Das Texan]

Parker is Mr. Ice Water in the fourth quarter.

[AnthonyM]

Such an asset when you need someone that can create their own basket...

Love TP...

[SpurOutofTownFan]

He played good the entire game - the bad mofo spell during the 3rd really was on everyone.

[diego]

I logged on to post the same- tony parker is one clutch mamajamma! so nice to see the big 3 close it out together

[Das Texan]

I find it funny anyone calling for the breakup of the core that has won 3 titles. That's funny shit, especially when they are all very capable basketball players.

[Cry Havoc]

All you "Spurs fans" who want him traded suck. The Spurs were dying and he saved them with those two Js.

3 jumpers.

The one just beyond the elbow.

The corner shot from almost 3 point range.

And then the side area shot out on the wing.

All huge. All clutch.

[J_Paco]

TP's next big game will be in 5 years

Your full of shit, Tony's been playing well all series. The guy is more important than a lot of "Spur" fans realize.

[DespЏrado]

Parker finished the game well but he was the cause of the 3rd quarter melt down, he even kind of admitted it in the post game interview. The way he glared at Jefferson instead of running back on defense was the start of the collapse. He broke the team's cohesiveness, by bitching at RJ.

[L.I.T]

He was outstanding late in the 4th.

[ned_ryerson]

i love the transition from stone cold in the last few minutes to gregarious parker in the post-game interview

[ShoogarBear]

Did Manu break the team's cohesiveness by bitching at Hill?

[timtonymanu]

buh buh ... he was the reason the mavs took the lead in the 3rd.

[nbaman99]

i know for real, where are all the fools said Parker sucks.

[lefty]

Fuck TP

Only 23 pts :stirpot:

Maybe RJ broke the team's cohesiveness by sucking.

[Spurminator]

The way he glared at Jefferson instead of running back on defense was the start of the collapse. He broke the team's cohesiveness, by bitching at RJ.

That would imply that we have a pretty fucking weak team cohesiveness if one glare can cause a 19-2 run. How about Dirk going 6-8 for 16 in the quarter? You think that might have had something to do with it?

[carina_gino20]

TP was phenomenal tonight during clutch time.

[smeagol]

Proof of the irrationality of the Parker Haters.

What about the ones who were saying "Fuck TD" right after the ASG?

There are assholes everywhere. Spursnation is not without them . . .

[DespЏrado]

Did Manu break the team's cohesiveness by bitching at Hill?

Must not have because it was subtle enough that I don't even remember that happening. :lol

[Flux451]

I am glad he redeemed himself from lax play in the 3rd. Great time for TP to arrive, conditioning looked great. I am very proud of him and his recovery. I haven't been this confident in the Spurs since 2007.

[smeagol]

Did Manu break the team's cohesiveness by bitching at Hill?

Man, he gave george an earfull!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That was TP's best game since last season. He was in Finals MVP form tonight and, just like 2007, he nailed those 18fters when we really needed them.

I still think we should shop him in the offseason given that he wants to keep playing for France every summer (not a good idea given his age and miles), and he's becoming more injury-prone due to the year-round playing load. That is not a good combination for a guy who relies on his speed to be effective. If there is a good deal that fills a need or two I think you do it, although there's no way he should be given away cheaply, and I can also see the argument that the Big 3 should stay together until Tim retires.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I'm not a Tony hater by any means, I think he's a great player at times.... but you have to admit he's been a turd for most of this year (yes probably due to injuries)

That being said, he's been good this series... not great, his passing has been atrocious, but we'd be dead without his scoring.

[L.I.T]

Did Manu break the team's cohesiveness by bitching at Hill?

Shhhhh...the TP haters are having a bad day. Why make it worse for them by bringing logic into the conversation?

[Spurologist]

........waiting for someone to mention tp had a +/- of -12

[Capt Bringdown]

Parker himself in the post game interview said that he was mad at himself for his 3rd quarter play.

He sure redeemed himself, but I think we've got to do better than dribblefest, live by the jumper, die by the jumper basketball.

Clearly he doesn't like RJ and has froze him out. RJ's got less than 10 shots in 5 quarters of basketball. Some of that has got be be Parker's responsibility.
He can, and must do better than that.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Not this.

[pjjrfan]

I find it funny anyone calling for the breakup of the core that has won 3 titles. That's funny shit, especially when they are all very capable basketball players.

Tony will sometimes dominate the ball, he did that in the 3rd qtr. it can get frustrating, I think that Tony sometimes will force his shots, but then when he is on like he was in the last 3 minutes of the game, he is a force. And while I may bitch about how the ball never moves when he is in there, hell no I don't want him traded. Tony can adjust he has been since he came to us.

[8FOR!3]

I've just never been a huge fan of his. But he showed up tonight and he was clutch. The kid performed, I have nothing to complain about.

[Spurs Brazil]

Clutch, clutch clutch.

And he was the one who stopped the bleeding in the 3rd with a layup

thanks Tony

I thought you were on the break the Spurs apart in the offseason camp and bring in young talent for TD to groom camp?

[ShoogarBear]

"Fuck TD" is so far beyond idiocy that it really doesn't deserve a reply, just pity for one's genetic misfortune.

[elbamba]

He is starting to look like he did last year. I hope he doesn't play this summer because he is one of the best pg in the league when he is healthy.

Sweet jumpers.

[ChumpDumper]

spurfans can be complete idiots.

[MannyIsGod]

So fucking pumped. I love me some Tony Parker.

[DespЏrado]

This.



Not this.

You can argue causal relationships with me all night long, it doesn't remove the fact that Parker was the floor leader when it looked like the Spurs were collapsing. And he didn't redeem himself until after the lead had been surmounted.

I am not a Parker hater, I think he is going to be great for us for years to come, but the guy has to learn how to make his team mates better.

He chose to blame a team mate at a moment when the team needed to calm down and circle the wagons. It was a shit move and it almost cost the Spurs the game.

[ShoogarBear]

And he was the one who stopped the bleeding in the 3rd


No, that was Will Sevening I think.

If a glare can break a team's cohesiveness, then this team is in trouble. And by your line of thinking, the way Manu ripped Hill should have caused a 60-4 Mavs' run. :lol

quote me one time where I have ever been anything but one of Parker's biggest fans. I haven't been around lately but when I do post it is almost always 100% pro Parker. Tonight he deserves to be called out. This is the playoffs. You can yell at team mates all year long, the playoffs is no place for it. Parker should have said my bad and run back on defense.

But who is more fickle the Spurs fan who forgives all for the game winning shot or the person who looks at the game as a whole.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I thought you were on the break the Spurs apart in the offseason camp and bring in young talent for TD to groom camp?

Kinda. I wanted to keep Manu all along, even back in January when he looked like he'd lost a step I said we should re-sign him for 2 years (to retire with Tim) because he is still a savvy player who can get it done and teach a lot to the youngsters. But I can see the value in shopping TP this summer for youth, unless he stops playing in the summer. It also depends on who we draft. There are lots of variables. But yeah, I still think we have to get younger and more athletic ASAP because that's the way the NBA has gone.

Also, 2 months ago when I was really posting about this stuff did anyone predict that this team would gel like this and find their defensive identity? Not that I can recall. Gelling so late in the season has proven a lot of us wrong I think, and I'll happily admit that this team has surprised the crap out of me in the last month.

Whether we can win 4 series I don't know, but as I said before the playoffs, it's going to be a fun ride finding out!

[DespЏrado]

It was after Hill picked up the technical for wrestling with Barea.

And the free throw was a good time to yell at him for it, Parker yelled during game play, and the Mavs started breaking down the defense.

Why aren't you whining about Manu going off on Hill? That was a much bigger "rip" of a teammate than Parker's glare.

Parker made mistakes in this game - like every other guy on the court.

Just go to bed or something. Let other people enjoy TP's clutch 4th without the negativity.

[Cry Havoc]

Just stop. Just stop digging your hole deeper. You're just wrong. Do yourself a favor and either admit or stop posting in defense just for the sake of defending yourself. You posted some stupid shit tonight. Now its time to stop.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Indeed.

Also, cohesive teams do get in each other's grills over mistakes, but they don't take it personally. Instead, they realise their mistake and get fired up about not making it again. That's what I've always seen from the SPurs, and this team is no different right now (although earlier in the season it wasn't there like it is now).

Celebrate the win people, Parker redeemed himself. I'm cheering that, you guys have a tendency to assume the worst of any criticism. It's completely fair to criticize a mistake that was something Parker himself took the blame for.

There is a difference, you know it. Obviously you are being obtuse, just for fun.

I contradicted myself, but I didn't notice Manu's yell because it was fine in the context. He yelled during a dead ball. Parker could have done that and I would be as happy go lucky as everyone else.

It really is not about the glare, and that is where I should be more specific, he disrupted play to glare, the Spurs defense wasn't set and the team lost focus for about 4 minutes.

Spelled out clearly enough for you? Or are you going to keep playing dumb?

...that's where the cause and effect falls down. You seriously think one glare from TP caused everyone to lose it for 4 minutes of game time? C'mon now, really? :lmao

Maybe it has more to do with this team's penchant for relaxing midway through 3rd quarters, and Dirk sensing that and taking over the game. Unfortunately, we've done this ALL SEASON. It's one of the reasons I doubt we'll win 4 playoff series, although if we continue to show the 4th quarter toughness we've exhibited lately that might be moot.

God enjoy the victory, Jesus Christ I did. Again the fault is not mine for taking a small criticism, and making it out to be a bitch fest. I never said I didn't enjoy Parker's play throughout the game, but my celebration of Parker's play is tempered by the fact that he put us in the position that we needed a game winner in the first place.

Again people have the tendency to assume the worst of any criticism.

If it was a small criticism, you wouldn't have devoted two threads to it. :lol

[L.I.T]

Kinda. I wanted to keep Manu all along, even back in January when he looked like he'd lost a step I said we should re-sign him for 2 years (to retire with Tim) because he is still a savvy player who can get it done and teach a lot to the youngsters. But I can see the value in shopping TP this summer for youth, unless he stops playing in the summer. It also depends on who we draft. There are lots of variables. But yeah, I still think we have to get younger and more athletic ASAP because that's the way the NBA has gone.

Also, 2 months ago when I was really posting about this stuff did anyone predict that this team would gel like this and find their defensive identity? Not that I can recall. Gelling so late in the season has proven a lot of us wrong I think, and I'll happily admit that this team has surprised the crap out of me in the last month.

Whether we can win 4 series I don't know, but as I said before the playoffs, it's going to be a fun ride finding out!

Yeah, I think most of us were surprised by what happened with the Spurs. I remember I stayed cautiously optimistic, but most of my posts had more 'if this happens' than anything else.

If the rest of the playoffs are anything like the first 3 games, it's going to be a doozy.

[DespЏrado]

This is the contradictory post "This is the playoffs. You can yell at team mates all year long, the playoffs is no place for it." A long with anything else that said I was mad for the glare or yell, I was mad about the glare instead of playing defense. I misspoke. freely admitted, Dumb still?

So yelling at teammates is now ok during the playoffs according to you?

It's really hard to mistype that many characters.

misspoke = typo now? really considering there was a whole explanation for what I meant by misspoke... I really didn't have a problem with yelling or glaring, it was that he disrupted play/ didn't get back on defense, that was the root of my anger, and still is. Still playing too dumb to see the difference?

Because that would totally contradict what you now say you intentionally posted earlier.

In context, of course.

[lurker23]

Haven't read the entire thread, but based on the beginning, I'm glad someone started a thread like this. Games like today remind us why you DON'T trade a star PG like Parker. When he's on, he's absolutely crucial and amazing for this team. There's a reason we include him when we're talking about the "Big 3." He's capable of absolutely pouring in the points, and his clutch-ness is highly underrated. Go Tony!

[DespЏrado]

So you are saying you are now ok with players' yelling at teammates during the playoffs?

Yes I am, which is why I said I contradicted myself, finally getting the picture yet?

[ChumpDumper]

Yes I am, which is why I said I contradicted myself, finally getting the picture yet?But you originally didn't say you contradicted yourself on that point at all.

Do you need that to be quoted again?

Just type "It is ok to yell at teammates during the playoffs."

It's just funny that one would pull a complete 180 on such a strong declarative statement. Do you understand that?

[DespЏrado]

Still being deliberately obtuse I take it. I know that is your schtick, it's cute and all but where is your argument with my complaint.

Simple
Parker didn't play defense because he was too busy glaring at RJ.
Manu yelled during a dead ball.
1+1=2

I have a problem with the first and not the second, even if the players were reversed. I'm sure I could dig out a discussion of Kobe's early years when we used to criticize him for the same thing all the time. I mispoke when I attributed anything to the act of glaring or yelling, it was the timing that pissed me off.

I get the feeling you are one of those guys who will keep posting until you think everyone agrees with you. That will probably work out well for you RE: yelling at teammates during the playoffs since you took both sides of the issue.

[DespЏrado]

Gee that's funny my first post in the thread was

"Parker finished the game well but he was the cause of the 3rd quarter melt down, he even kind of admitted it in the post game interview. The way he glared at Jefferson instead of running back on defense was the start of the collapse. He broke the team's cohesiveness, by bitching at RJ."

Seems to be exactly what I am saying now.

As has already been pointed out to you ad infinitum, a glare leading to a 19-2 run cause and effect does not make...

As timvp pointed out in his recap, the run coincided with the Mavs dropping into a zone which has frustrated and confused this team all year. It also coincided with Dirk going off. Now that is cause and effect. :lol:

No in reality causal relationships can't be attributed to any one of them more than the other. They all coincided but its all conjecture and opinion as to why the collapse happened. And they all played a part.

Parker's mental lapse was just one of the causes, I don't want to argue that he was the absolute only reason the Spurs lost momentum just that he could have been a better team mate at a critical juncture. It was his job to take the reigns at that point. "circle the wagons" was in my first quote. And it is my opinion that the way he detracted from the team rather than helped was critical at that juncture.

Fine, I'm just defending my take, something which people told me to hang myself for in this thread, but you know, I am the one who is acting all butt hurt. Really I'm not the one in this thread that overreacted. It's the people who can't take a criticism of the favorite player, without thinking I am attacking the player personally.

I'm not, I like Parker. I know his flaws, and the great things he brings to this team, I can appreciate both sides to this argument.

[anakha]

Parker finished the game well but he was the cause of the 3rd quarter melt down

[ChumpDumper]

I can appreciate both sides to this argument.
You definitely proved you can take both sides of an argument.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What I find funny is that many people can't admit when they are wrong. Why? It makes no sense. Not only does admitting you are wrong about something mean that you are less likely to make the same mistake again, but other people respect those who recognise and own up to their own mistakes. If you are patently incorrect you should always admit it and learn from it, that's how we advance as people.

[DespЏrado]

Anakha there's a reason why I put "Absolute only" in the first quote. A game of semantics here is pointless, but those too quotes aren't contradictory at all. In language we have to be able to shift from the general to the specific. If you can't understand that here's is what the connotation of the second quote is:

it is my opinion that Parker is the main cause of the 3rd quarter melt down.

I still believe that. He was the catalyst of the 3rd quarter melt down which almost cost us this game.

[jag]

Take a rope wrap it around ur neck and fucking swing.

Parker triggered/ caused the 3rd quarter collapse. In general that statement is true. Admitting that there were additional factors doesn't remove the fact that he originally triggered the 3rd quarter collapse.

You can't say the following:



Parker's mental lapse was just one of the causes

And then state the post at the top, where you're pushing the argument that Parker's actions started the whole thing and everything else just kept the ball rolling. That makes you appear to say that all the other events weren't causes at all.

You're really looking like you're changing your argument from post to post, which Chump has already pointed out.

You can take it that way but it was never intended as the be all and end all statement everyone read it to be, like I said the first assumption here was to assume the worst. I am not blind to the fact that Manu was out during the collapse, but they would have been without for some part anyways. The Spurs seemed to lose there composure. That lack of composure was the main issue, and I think the cause was Parker, our floor leader, losing his composure.

His ability to have been more focused in the situation would have given the Spurs a much better chance to ride out a much smaller run by the Mavs.

[jag]

No matter what he does, the Parker love in this forum will always be short lived. It's just a sad reality.

[FkLA]

He was huge, and has played a good series but the only thing this does is disprove those few people that thought Parker was a cancer or that we were better with him just sitting out, but we already knew those assumptions were retarded.

This doesnt however change the fact that trading TP for frontcourt help still makes alot of sense.

Awesome. That's why I love the big three so much. They work together for the sake of winning and any of those can close the game. Feels good to be a spurs fan and be a witness of their awesomeness for years. Way to go Tony putting the nail on the coffin in this team's win.

Edit : And oh Despurado, way to go for making yourself a name on ST. A guy dissing the player who came hot in the clutch and won a pivotal playoff game against the mavs for us is beyond ridiculous. If you can't enjoy a spurs victory like this one and enjoy the moment without saving whatever criticism you have for the next day how can you seriously call yourself a spurs fan.

[slayermin]

I hoped he would do it and he has. Embracing his role off the bench has solidified himself to me as a legend. I will never speak ill of TP ever again.

[Brazil]

Classic thread really.



Thanks TP, way to go !

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I hoped he would do it and he has. Embracing his role off the bench has solidified himself to me as a legend. I will never speak ill of TP ever again.

I have to agree with that, although really it's no surprise.

I've heard some people call TP arrogant or a prima donna, but I've never seen that in him at all. To me, TP is quite humble and grounded, and his commitment to team and to winning above all is as strong and present as Manu's or Tim's and always has been.

That's why those three guys, Bruce Bowen, and David Robinson, have been at the core of the best run in franchise history - none of them think of themselves first. It is always team first, and if that means coming off the bench, I don't think any of them think twice about it.

I love the way those guys have created that culture for this team, and you see it exhibited by most of the guys who pass through this franchise, and can already see it in young guys like Hill and Blair and Hairston. If we can add Pondexter in the draft I think he'll perfectly fit the culture. Then maybe we'll be young, long and athletic enough that we put a serious franchise full-court press on TP to give up playing in the summers, and sign him to a 5 year extension to play out his useful career here.

[baseline bum]

I've heard some people call TP arrogant or a prima donna, but I've never seen that in him at all.

They're people who hate on him for being married to Eva. About the only time he's ever gone against the team was when he said they didn't need Kidd in 03 (and he was right).

No thread about Parker can stay hate-free on here. It's a shame. He deserves better than this. It's strange, Manu is seen like a god, and now more than ever, and TP doesnt even get the basic respect the Spurs own fans.

Anyway, he was great!

This is a big factor in a weird way.

I looked to see who it was... and it was Baseline Bums. :wow I went to their president and mentioned it, saying that's no way to treat a Spurs players' wife.

There's a weird hate for Tony (and Eva) because of their relationship. If he never married Eva and he married that bitch of a ex-girlfriend of his, I wonder if so many people would always label him "arrogant." :lmao

Very true. A good litmus test to test how long someone has been a Spurs fan is to ask their opinion on Tony Parker. If they don't like him, there's a 99.9% chance that person became a fan after the championship banners started being raised.

And, conversely, Spurs fans who realize what they have in TP are the ones who lived through decades of flawed point guards and could only dream of having a player of Parker's level on the team.

also you have phenol to test the other way round. if someone turned Spurs fan in the year of 2002 and didn't know literally a shit about NBA prior to that, then 80% he's from Argentina and is a Manu fan only. This test has been used millions of times on Rockets fans and proven very successful/useful.

Nigel Knight.

I'm just old enough to remember watching the Spurs play with Vinny Del Negro and Negele (SP?) Knight getting huge minutes for our team. Consequently, I absolutely love watching Tony play, and to be honest, he's my favorite Spurs player because I model my game after him. I don't know that I've ever seen another player in NBA history finish at the rim like he can. He makes some truly unbelievable shots. Last year was like a continual highlight reel for Tony. And it's forgotten by many "fans" because we weren't healthy enough in the playoffs to make a run at a title.

He finished in the top 10 in the MVP voting last year, and this year there were a deluge of people who wanted him traded. :pctoss It's unreal. Any other player on that list who would even be CONSIDERED for a trade would be blasphemy. The fans would be calling for the GM and coaches collective heads.

Yeah man, 10-16 is just awful. Crawful?

[FkLA]

lol @ the suggestion that people who realize and truly acknowledge the emergence of Hill (which subsequently makes Parker expendable in our eyes) are not "real" fans

[Arrowch4]

Has hit the clutchest shots this series. FUCK ALL THE HATERS!!!

I know I don't come around here much. I'm usually on a KU message board. But the fact that even one person wanted to trade him baffles me.

[androck]

I am definitely not a Parker hater but he still seems a step slow. He's scoring on jump shots rather than driving inside and both Terry and Barea were crucial in the Mavs rally to take the lead late in the game, which Parker should have been defending.

lol.. first clutch shot of his life :p

I see you became a Spurs fan after the 08-09 season started.

This is a big factor in a weird way. The year after he married Eva, at the first game of the following season, I actually heard a group of fans yelling, "Get out of here, whore" to her when she was going thru the tunnel. I looked to see who it was... and it was Baseline Bums. :wow I went to their president and mentioned it, saying that's no way to treat a Spurs players' wife.

There's a weird hate for Tony (and Eva) because of their relationship. If he never married Eva and he married that bitch of a ex-girlfriend of his, I wonder if so many people would always label him "arrogant." :lmao


Who was his ex-girlfriend?

Google got me this :lol

Yes - her name is Lolo (short for Lorraine, I think).


What the hell? That's pathetic. When I was in the bums we had great relationships with the players and their wives/gfs. I guess they have gone downhill since George Valle left.

Just curious... why is Lolo the bitch ex-girlfriend?


I met her a few times - she was a bitch every time :lol I'm not sure why.


Lolo and Tony broke up in the offseason. Then, he met Eva in November. So it wasn't a "crossover". :lol

I found another pic. this is from one of those calendars right?

But what does Tony Parker, the rising star of French basketball and new French rookie in the NBA, in Seine-et-Marne. The reason is simple, and very beautiful: it's called Loriane, and is the daughter of Peter Yvroud, the deputy mayor in charge of sports of the town. "We met at INSEP" tells TP (19), while wearing Nike. "I'm reached the age of fifteen, Loriane arrived a year later. And then ... "The rest is theirs.
Everyone has made its way INSEP after Tony left side of the PSG-Racing, while Loriane, selected in the France team junior volleyball decided everything to stop because of back problems. Their refuge is La Rochette, when Tony Parker has "regularly for three years, since Peter asked me to make good food!"

[lefty]

Damn his ex is an ugly fuck
