Parker and his Assists Tonight, lack of FGA's

Was this Parker trying to prove a point to Pop?

These are the things we just don't know.

TP just looked a little listless. That was to be expected against a team like the Wolves that they have played 4 times already.

TP played ok. He dished the ball well and didn't force too much. It helps when guys hit a ton of shots obviously, but TP played ok.

His energy was decent, but could have been better and he really wasn't looking for his shot too much. When he did, it wasn't good. He is in a bit of a funk shooting wise and really needs to pull out of it.

[DesignatedT]

Neither. Took what was given to him.

[EricB]

I'd say no...

[frodo]

dude shot 1-5 last time i checked, so thankful that he didn't take too many shots

[ducks]

spurs just played the wolves
it could have been the game plan to confuse the wolves

tp has gone off on the wolves before
late in the 4 tp scored and they thought he was going to pass
worked

also if you are not 100% healthy
it is better to pass then shot
it takes lesss energy
if you are tired your shots will not fall
ask manu

[ChumpDumper]

He obviously wants to be traded.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

maybe Pop told him to pass more?
Or maybe Pop wants him to score more made a nasty remark about Parker's passing abilities?

hmm

[easy7]

He misses Cricket, I mean Eva.... His shot was not falling tonight.

[Brazil]

Neither. Took what was given to him.

pretty much he played during the fourth to seal the deal it's an ok game for him IMO it deserves a B or C+ in timvp's grades

[jag]

He doesn't look like he's at 100%. That's about all I got from his performance.

That, and he obviously wants to be traded to the Knicks.

[ChumpDumper]

maybe Pop told him to pass more?
Or maybe Pop wants him to score more made a nasty remark about Parker's passing abilities?

hmmMaybe nothing of the sort happened.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Maybe nothing of the sort happened.

Maybe it did.

[Spurologist]

He obviously wants to be traded.

time to roll out the trade threads

[senorglory]

taking what was available?

still a little sick?

[ChumpDumper]

Maybe it did.Nine and a half seasons of history cast doubt on that theory.

[DPG21920]

Only players I would trade TP for (besides Lebron/Wade/Kobe/Dwight...):

Andre Miller
Caron Butler
Ariza
OJ Mayo

[frodo]

the moon wanes and waxes, trigga just played a relatively poor game. ain't no sign he wants to be traded imho. niggas must be trolling now to say he wants to leave and purposely shot bad

[jag]

Only players I would trade TP for (besides Lebron/Wade/Kobe/Dwight...):

Andre Miller
Caron Butler
Ariza
OJ Mayo

You forgot Kevin Martin.

[lil'mo]

I agree, tp is done, maybe you should go ahead and trade him to thispego for jameer nelson and be done with it.

[lil'mo]

Only players I would trade TP for (besides Lebron/Wade/Kobe/Dwight...):

Caron Butler
Ariza

you fucking kidding me? caron, ariza, miller? you gotta be shitting me

[Cant_Be_Faded]

okay even i have to laugh at parker for milk mustard

[Kori Ellis]

I don't think there was any message. His shot wasn't falling and he's still a little out of it from being sick, so he was looking to pass more and fortunately, the people he was passing to hit their shots.

*shrug*

[lil'mo]

milk mustard!!!!!!!! CROFL!!!!!!!

[lil'mo]

I don't think there was any message. His shot wasn't falling and he's still a little out of it from being sick, so he was looking to pass more and fortunately, the people he was passing to hit their shots.

*shrug*

kori, whats up baby, when you gonna hook up my crew with some free tix? or at least a baby gallery? i can supply one baby

[Cant_Be_Faded]

*shrug*

That second part is definitely true, we were hot

but Kori honestly this is like the 7th game in a row you use the same excuse for Parker........

Do you know something we all do not?

[it's me]

you fucking kidding me? caron, ariza, miller? you gotta be shitting me

:lol

:lol

Really seven games in a row? The OKC game he was 7-for-10 and had 10 assists. In New York, he scored 26. In Boston, he scored 18 and was 8-for-13.... I don't think he needed any excuses. He played fine in those games. The Indy game, he was questionable and almost didn't play because he was sick... that was public knowledge.

I'm not sure why anyone is disappointed at Parker for passing the rock when he's not on his A game... he had the best plus/minus on the team.

[lil'mo]

cbf is boozed, pay no mind, kori

[DPG21920]

lol me

[JR3]

I'm just glad we are done playing the timberwolves.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

cbf is boozed, pay no mind, kori

lol

no i'm not
it's too early


Just want to make sure Parker doesn't have some prolonged debilitating illness

[lil'mo]

cbf! nothing is wrong with the spurs no matter how hard you want to imagine there is!

[ducks]

I am sick of watching kevin love own the spurs

[DPG21920]

If TP would hit shots instead of turning it over like Peyton Manning, Love would not get so many rebounds which leads to breaks.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I think Pop told Parker to get his head out of his ass and start running the offense right. "Pass the ball more already," he orders. Parker responded in kind and the results speak for themselves.

On the other hand, I can see Pop calling out Parker for not shooting enough. He tells him that he's a worthless passer and that's not why he's here. So Parker starts throwin out Dimes like Mookie2001. Just to show Pop he can pass.

I can't decide which one happened.

[frodo]

parker is less of a scorer than he used to be. trigga used to be light fast and rip apart the opposing defense inside out, now he uses tricks & p'n'r most times pretty much like manu.

[it's me]

I am sick of watching Manu own my ass

fify

[DesignatedT]

I am sick of watching kevin love own the spurs

He owns the Spurs so bad that he has never beaten them.

[jjktkk]

You mean all 4 of these guys for Parker? Then yes.

[DPG21920]

Any of the players. Just one. Straight up.

[timaios]

Any of the players. Just one. Straight up.

Did you lose a bet ? How long do you have to use sarcasm as only language form ? :lol

[DPG21920]

Until someone else picks up on it :lol

[cube1980]

haters always hate

[2centsworth]

Tony is a freakin beast. If you haven't learned that by now you're blind.

funny how Kori thinks Tony doesn't have more assist because players don't hit their shots. Quick Note: Spurs are 4th in scoring offense.

Tony is a way above average scorer and ballhandler with insane quickness that he uses on defense in big games.

Easily a Top 5.

DWill
CP3
DRose
Rondo
TP

[ShoogarBear]

If TP would hit shots instead of turning it over like Peyton Manning

:rollin

Do you know something we all do not?Quite a few things most likely. :)

Parker was trying to contribute. He did look lethargic on offense, and refused to probe the defense like he normally does. I even saw Tim point him in a couple of directions once or twice. Still, Tony is not 100%. Whatever the reason may be, it's got nothing to do with sending messages. These guys have been together forever, they send their messages in Pop's office or in the gym. No reason to get out on the floor and sand bag it.

A guy plays like Parker for as many seasons as he has and because he has two or three off nights, his dedication and integrity is dragged into question?

Also, the "I would trade for" comments are funny as hell in a "retard finger painting in his own feces" sorta way. Ariza? Martin? None of the people mentioned ever did anything. Ariza is another Bonzi Wells without the bulk scoring. He parlayed a decent Finals showing into a big contract. The Lakers shit canned him for a reason.

[mathbzh]

He has the best +/- on the team, 13 assists, it was a fairly easy win, his shot was off... why would he force anything?
Would you want him to go Kobe and shoot 8/27? This would have given the Wolves a legit chance.

It's funny how when Parker goes for 30+ points he is not a "true" PG but when he goes for a 12pts/13ast night there's a problem with a lack of FGA... haters keep hating.

[tdunk21]

he just sucked shooting the ball....thats it....i dont think there is any issue with pop and him coz these guys have been togther for so many years.....but who cares we won the game....isnt that what we all want?

[UnWantedTheory]

Nine and a half seasons of history cast doubt on that theory.

[frodo]

triggas just doing everything to eulogize manu by means of demeaning others, triggas just being manu lovers they love the bald-spot so hard it even makes his wife jealous

[Brazil]

I really thing we should bring back quickly the blue stuff some posters don't seem to get it.

[buttsR4rebounding]

I love that stat line from Parker--12 pts and 13 assists. I could live without the 6 turnovers.

[Kori Ellis]

funny how Kori thinks Tony doesn't have more assist because players don't hit their shots.

When did I say that? :wtf

[spurspokesman]

Neither. Took what was given to him.
yup
