Now almost everyone is hating on Tony and I can see why. I think his "just average" play is not only his fault.
He is our offense starter. I know Timmy is playing great but we still live and die by Tony. I'm just curious why Pop still didn't find out how to protect him. Some things you can't change, when GW want to play through him you can do very little to change it, but you should try.
You can mix your defense from time to time, play zone when someone is posting Tony, help him early, not when opponent is deep inside but when he start to post then you have shorter distance to recover to your man.
Spurs can rotate before GW will post Parker, there are always 2 players from GW near the basket when someone wants to post TP, Spurs should switch Tony with anyone who is guarding that second player before his man get the ball. Then, GW have to move the ball to the other side and again we should switch so Dubs haven't got easy pass to TP's man.
Set solid screens. 70% screens that Tony gets are so week that Thompson or whoever is guarding TP has no problem fighting through them and Tony gets nothing and is just getting tired. We need more Splitter, he is good at that.
Like someone said, you have easier life driving to the hoop and distributing the ball when there is a 7 footer (Tiago) rolling to the basket.
Tim can't play great for 30+ minutes, Ginobili can get hot only for short stretches, our only hope is Parker 'cause he can get hot for longer and with better results for the team. I still believe that Spurs coaching staff will find a way to force warriors to play our style, 2 bigs, pnr to death, driving and kicking.
Tony is this team "the man" and he will play like it
So give Tony just a little love and believe!
