This series proved what we learned last year, Parker can not lead a team to a title. He can be a piece, but he is too easily shut down to be the best player on a team.

Yet another fucking tease of a year, this one even worse than the last tease. I would have rather the team lost in the first round than pull this bullshit. Especially after Game 6.

He is a superstar. He got shut down though. No need to be angry with him. We're not in game 7 of the finals in it till the last minute with Tony Parker.

No need to make threads like this though. You're not entitled to have your team win when they're not the best (or even when they are). The Spurs played their hearts out tonight. What ore can you ask for?

Parker never had the potential to be a superstar... he's only capable of playing a superstar level for a brief time and not against elite defensive team. This team was built around the role players. When the rotation shortens, the Spurs lose their advantage.

Tony was this team's MVP. There's no doubt about that. Maybe he's not good enough to be the centerpiece on this team but as long as he plays his ass off and gets you to a game 7 like this then how on earth can you be mad? You don't think he wanted to win?

Arc
06-20-2013, 10:56 PM
he was too afraid to even attempt to attack. that's what pisses me off about him. your championship* is on the line and you're just dribbling behind the 3pt line and passing the ball up to somebody else. grow a fucking pair and do something, anything!

Historically one of the worst second option/third options of all-time. Weak playoff performer, shitty TS%, horrid WS/48 in his playoff career. Garbage player. Ginobili was good in the mid 2000s but he has his priorities elsewhere these days(Argentina's more important to him than the club paying him 14 million a year)

I didn't like the way he handled this series. He tried to play too much like a superstar and often ignored open teammates. I also didn't like his comments to the media.

But his performance was not that bad. He played hurt and was still somewhat effective. He made a few clutch plays that could've decided the series. It just didn't work out. Part of that was Tony, but part of that was also poor game-planning. No way the Heat should've gotten away with James are Parker as much as they did.

Yes he is, for a guy most around here hyped up so much he was m.i.a tonight. Zombie Manu outplayed him. But to be fair if Green played 1/4 as decent as he did in the first few games we win. It is what it is, move on to next season.

Dont know what superstar is but always said he is not THE star of a championship team, few are tbh and to be totally honest this year he almost proved me wrong.... One freaking FT shy of being that. I didn't know he was capable to have a year like that. The whole team had an amazing amazing year and gave the nba one of the greatest finals since a long long time. I'm not mad at him or at anybody. I respect the hell of this team. 2013 will stay a very special year.

Parker's a star, not a superstar. I think he was just a little too beat up there to get any daylight from bigger, more athletic defenders.

I did notice in the timeouts Pop kept saying to trust each other and play like a team. The Spurs' offense was pretty horrid for the most part, and it was pretty heroic to get as many points as they did.

lol at all the butthurt people angry at people stating the truth. Parker's a playoff choke artist. Always has been(except when he was matched up with the garbage point guards the 2007 Cavs were trotting out).

Parker's career season TS%: .550
Parker's career playoff TS%: .517

Parker's career season PER: 19.1
Parker's career playoff PER: 17.5

Parker's career season WS/48: .151
Parker's career playoff WS/48: .092

Huge drops from season to playoffs. Those are not star numbers. He'll be remembered as a decent point guard that was lucky to play next to Tim Duncan.

06-20-2013, 11:12 PM
TP is the MVP of this team and there is no doubt about that. But he is not Kobe in his prime time and he is not LBJ, Durant nor Derrick Rose that can dominate a game on his own. That's also quite obvious though.

I completely agree. He shrunk from the moment. I don't care how injured/gassed he was, to not even attempt to impose his will, was unacceptable. They're going down with Green aimlessly dribbling away and to a lesser extent Neal and he's content to spot up in the corner. He also allowed Pop to sit him for 5 minutes of game time in the 2nd half. Should have told Pop he was playing the entire 4th.

While I agree that ripping Parker is ridiculous you can't call out other people on creating stupid threads and being angry with someone since that's all you've been doing with Manu this past week.

In all fairness, Parker did lay an egg both Game 6 and 7.

So why the fuck didn't he pass the ball when Lebron was guarding him, tbh?..he kept over dribbling, instead of passing it out..

He clearly tried to win Finals MVP in game 6, too..

Even when Chalmers was guarding him in the 4th, he looked completely shook, tbh..

I'm not even a Tony Parker hater, I've defended him on SpursTalk for years, but he's a fucking pussy for his game 6 and 7 performances..

I understand that Parker is constantly defended by the SpursTalk veterans, since he's been a whipping boy in the past by the majority of the forum(from 2003 to 2007)..most veteran posters here are conditioned to defend him, tbh..

A superstar couldn't be shut down by a single player. We threw Bruce Bowen all over the superstars in the mid-2000s and though Bruce was great, superstars like Dirk and Kobe still got their points. Parker is a really good PG, but you really can't put him in the "superstar" category as this series shows, tbh. Superstars don't get shut down.

Harsh but true. When it matters most, and all the chips are down, its always 37 year old TD that has to deliver for the Spurs. EVERY YEAR TD HAS PLAYED, HE THE SPURS MVP.

Danny fucking Green shot 1-19 the last two games with like 7 TO's. And absolutely terrible decision making on offense.

Manu Ginobili might as well have been fucking playing for Miami the last 2 games. Seriously, he was that atrocious.

Splitter was God awful against Miami. Basically made us play Duncan every minute of every game, he was so bad.

And you want to blame Parker? The guy who, On one hamstring, led us here this season got us back in Game 6 with 2 unreal shots? Stop.

This series proved what we learned last year, Parker can not lead a team to a title. He can be a piece, but he is too easily shut down to be the best player on a team.

Tony is a hell of a PG he is just not a great player.. He got to play with one of the all time legends and he can basically thank Tim for those 3 rings..

But he is and always will be just short of great.. As this series proved..

First of all it suggests that Danny Green's record breaking shooting was not as great as people were saying. Secondly, it guaranteed the end of Green's run. He was throwing his own teammate under the bus imo.

is that even an argument, tbh?..

Nope..

Did he step up last year in the WCF?
Did he in the finals this year?

He is very good but not great. A great player closes the deal..

Tony is a hell of a PG he is just not a great player.. He got to play with one of the all time legends and he can basically thank Tim for those 3 rings..

But he is and always will be just short of great.. As this series proved..

You on drugs? Was their a backcourt mate that was any good in games 6 or 7? He was basically the only guard against Miami's D spearheaded by Lebron. Plus, he has one healthy hammy to boot. With all that said he still pulled off the miracle shots and steal at the end of regulation in game 6 to give the spurs the series. Tony is absolutely great. No doubt about it.

:lol Who said Tony Parker sucks?..

I said he's a fake superstar that didn't step up when his team needed him..is that even an argument, tbh?..

He had an opportunity to go down in history as a rare instance of a PG leading a team to a title, and he blew it in games 6 and 7, tbh..

How do you blow game 6 when you go balls out to give your team a commanding lead with 28 secs left? Especially considering he was the only guard we had. Danny Green, Manu and neal crawled into the fetal position.

He must be. Pop must be a genius taking a core of a fake star, a shithead, and a 37 year old to 7 games down the wire with the Heat, best team ever assembled in the history of the league.

Look you can't have both ways.

Hopefully TP takes the entire offseason off to get healthy and works on that 3 ball this offseason. Hopefully the Spurs actually can give him a legit backup off the bench to help him.

In a year with arguably the weakest West in NBA history, along with Westbrook's injury..

Pop is overrated as fuck, but he's still a top 2 coach in the league..

A top 2 coach
A top 3 PG
Arguably the best big in the NBA this year
Arguably the best perimeter defensive tandem in the NBA
A top 5-7 SF in the NBA

That's enough to get you in the Finals in a weak conference..

I'm not able to find all these people tired of the Spurs fans in the "Manu sucks" threads. No harmstring excuse for Manu, no blame Pop instead of him for his plays.....


Tony played awful tonight and not much better in game 6 . He averaged around 15 ppg and 40% FG in the Finals. Like or not He was one of the keys why we lost the Finals

Tony gave it all he had on 1 leg, I have no complaints with his play or effort. He made the plays that should have won Timmy his fifth ring...Pop and Manu negated his hard work and handed Miami the championship on a silver fucking platter.

He's not even on Pau Gasol's level as a player. If he was, Spurs would have beaten the Heat in six.

He is a star, he isn't a superstar. Lebron James, Duncan, Kobe and Shaq on their prime, those are superstars. Tony is a great player but just not quite at that level.


6-23 FG, had 2 clutch shots the rest was pretty bad. He went hero-ball trying to get MVP that night, he missed open teammates and tried to shoot over Lebron every chance he had.

He laid a huge egg in game 6 and negating that makes you sound like an idiot.

I didn't like the way he handled this series. He tried to play too much like a superstar and often ignored open teammates. I also didn't like his comments to the media.

But his performance was not that bad. He played hurt and was still somewhat effective. He made a few clutch plays that could've decided the series. It just didn't work out. Part of that was Tony, but part of that was also poor game-planning. No way the Heat should've gotten away with James are Parker as much as they did.Best comment of this thread. Ever since the hamstring injury, Parker's jump shot began to get worse as the series went along. I don't think it's fair that he is constantly being defended by a bigger guy: Sefolosha, Klay Thompson, and then Lebron. Not fair.

enough of not playing 100!

driving into big men? waiting for screens? I never been so disappointed in my entire life watching the Spurs than the way Tony played in game 7.
He can do it in regular /season games but in the finals? messed up game 6 & game 7.

HE IS SELFISH !

It would sound like an excuse if Tony or other Spurs say he was playing hurt, so I hope we don't hear that.

But I really wonder how, if he was hurt enough to affect his games 6,7 so much. For a guy without much natural ability, no physical grace (layups off both feet? wrong foot?), he's come a long way, but he's missing some smarts, and maybe not enough ability for the biggest stage.

I don't know how can some of you defend him just cause he was injured. If he was that hurt he wouldn't been able to play selfish hero ball. He wanted the finals MVP, you could see it and with his stupid ball hogging he cost us a chance to win game 6.

Parker only suggested that Danny Green is one mother fucker 3 points shooter. And he was damn right.

Wait... are you seriously saying that the Heat needed this comment from Parker to realise that Green was killing them from beyond the arc?

I don't blame the guy. Manu was even worse. But you don't just start ball hogging when you can't hit shit the whole game. If I blame someone it's Pop who put Tim on the bench 2 times when we needed a rebound.

He is a superstar. He got shut down though. No need to be angry with him. We're not in game 7 of the finals in it till the last minute with Tony Parker.

No need to make threads like this though. You're not entitled to have your team win when they're not the best (or even when they are). The Spurs played their hearts out tonight. What ore can you ask for? james a a much bigger and stronger guy he is going against and he has one hamstring
atleast he did not force alot of shots in game 7

06-21-2013, 10:27 AM
Why is a guy with what is apparently a "severely injured" hamstring trying to beat Lebron and chucking instead of passing it to Duncan inside or Leonard against Chalmers/Miller?..

he only took one shot in second half

Disagree. TP played great all things considered. But the reality is that this team still only goes as far as as Timmy can carry them.

Fuck this thread. Parker's hamstring and stamina were shit. If he was healthy at all there's no way he doesn't play 45 minutes last night like Duncan and Leonard, instead of the 36 he ended up with. GFY Harlem.

Pretty much because in some way he is more of an idiot than the average Spurs, and thought, that having green properlly covered he would have more opportunities to score.
The next two games were 2 of the worst shooting games of his career.

I found that strange too. Not to say the Heat weren't going to focus on him going forward anyway, but Tony Parker pointing it out didn't help.

Parker is a great PG but I sometimes cringe when I hear him in interviews. He's always pretty free spoken, ranging from his comments in 2011 about that being the Spurs last chance, his remarks about this being "his" team, etc.
