Tony Parker should take a month off to rest, tbh..

[HarlemHeat37]

Absolutely no explosion whatsoever, tbh..he looks very slow on both ends of the floor..

Spurs should be able to continue beating bad teams and losing to good teams even without Parker, so his absence shouldn't affect their overall record and attempt to get a top 3 seed IMO..

His absence will allow the Spurs to run more offense through Kawhi, which isn't possible with Parker on the floor and dominating the ball..Leonard's growth is imperative for a potential run..as we have seen in games without Tony the past 2 years, Leonard can dominate when he isn't just a spot-up shooter..

He's a defensive liability on a team that already has defensive liabilities like Beli playing big minutes and old players like Manu having to cover difficult assignments, too..I haven't looked at the numbers and footage yet(I will, soon), but I'm going to assume that Parker is missing the most rotations and assignments on the roster, tbh..

Spurs need Parker to play like a top 3 PG to make a run, but if he continues to play without rest, he's going to be even slower and suffer from the wear and tear of another high-usage season once the playoffs begin..

question though, have you seen Pop call up a bunch of plays for Kawhi? you were one of the ones saying Kawhi needed more plays, then Pop said Kawhi would get a lot more designed plays this season. I've missed some games and tbh not sure if I've noticed it myself.

It feels like the Spurs are missing a golden opportunity, unless Pop is hiding this shit for the end. Or it could be Pop just got drunk and forgot using Kawhi a lot more while letting Heroball continue to shit the bed and be rundown.

Pop saying he's going to call plays for Kawhi is as genuine as him calling George hill his favorite player...But seriously, he's had a few plays calls. The problem is that, as a player, you shouldn't be waiting for pop to tell you everything..If you see an obvious mismatch you exploit it. This one is on Leonard and Parker and their terrible chemistry.

[TD 21]

This is why they needed to get it done last season. Duncan's not the same, Parker is worn to a nub and not the same and even though Ginobili has (as I correctly predicted) bounced back to an extent, it's really a team without a bona fide star at the moment.

Even if they gave him a month off, he'd still return with 2 and 1/2 months to go in the season, then have to go 3 and 1/2 grueling playoff rounds to win the championship. It's just not happening.

[Johnny RIngo]

Ginobili fucked us over last year in favor of Argentina. Looks like it's TP's turn. The NBA needs to listen to Mark Cuban and do something about FIBA's bullshit summer tournaments.

[Bruno]

The worst is what he said in today's french newspaper:
"It's difficult physically and I know that this year I will have to bite the bullet. I haven't had rest during the 2011,2012 and 2013 summers. For the moment, I'm feeling fine because I'm still riding the french national team wave with the trust and adrenaline. But I know that in January and February, I will be exhausted. It's doing to be tough."

So the worst is coming.

Before Rockets game, Parker has been able to be relatively good this season (not at least year level obviously). We will see if the Rockets game was just an off night or if he really starting to fade physically.

Tonight looked done, and Green keeps scrubing, same Leonard, we get Belli as an upgrade but other pieces were rotten.

Or stop hiring international players. I don't see how the NBA can tell a player he cannot play elsewhere when the NBA is out for the summer. They would have to have a contract that goes all year long, and stipulate what he can and cannot do. Also, can the guy not have any strenuous activities, or just basketball?

It would also kill the NBA on the international level if the NBA stars couldn't play for their home countries.

The NBA (owners) actively promote the agreement with FIBA, since they're the ones that added the clause to the CBA that forbid themselves from preventing players from playing for their NT (provided that National Federations have all insurance papers in place). It's also clear that players want and enjoy playing for their NT. As you say, the solution is not hiring international talent, but then you would be limiting your talent pool, one that is already limited by being a small market team.

It's ok, he'll get plenty of rest after the second round is over tbh.

[rjv]

Looks like he already is taking some time off
no kidding. he also took time off to hang out with JayZ the night before the thunder game and came out completely flat. TP has gone from a top 5 guard to being totally outclassed by jeremy lin !

[TheGoldStandard]

He's a scoring PG who's been burning the candle at both ends. He's in his 30s and when his jump shot isn't falling he will look like this. The wheels are slowing down.

[crc21209]

YEP and no doubt international team does this to our team again. He plays for his country and now we have to deal with this all year with him tired being he played into the SUMMER and then all Summer with the French team. I respect them wanting to play for their country but damn it kills the Spurs and at the end of the day that is all I give a damn about.

Only 8 days off after the Finals? No shit? I did not know that. Honestly that just pisses me off after his game 7 showing, WTF is that??? Also, didn't he get hurt in international ball? I remember getting an update on my phone about it. I don't think it was super bad obviously. But this accumulative wear and tear is fucking this team and his game.

[Chomag]

Its pretty much the price Spurs pay by going with international players more then any team in the NBA.

[DPG21920]

TP isn't tired from playing International ball. He's coasting because they can still win while he does that. There is a difference in being worn out and coasting like HH said.

As a result, the rest of his game has fallen off too. No longer racking up assists like last season...getting burned by every PG on defense. I'm convinced he's the primary reason why our starting unit has been so sluggish this season.

I thought it was weird the Spurs were even running plays with him down the stretch... he was basically parked in a corner... maybe by design?

I think it's the interplay between that and poor spacing. Essentially, he has smaller windows this season and isn't quick enough to make it through them.

[look_at_g_shred]

Needs a good week off with no activity.

I wonder if it's Parker's ego or Pop trying to maintain a lead in seeding. It seems when he's been out for injuries, Parker always comes back early once Spurs are doing well without him. whatever the case may be, he clearly blew his load for Team La Croix in the summer and now we're getting the leftover shit.

[freetiago]

Every pg is making Parker his bitch
they just know they can get a shot at will as long as they call for a screen
hes showing absolutely no effort in fighting over the screens
the one time he did he took about 2 seconds and let Conley still get a uncontested mid range shot

always going under screens and letting random scrubs like Toney Douglas burn him
hes the reason for the teams slow start
he cant shoot the mid range anymore and hes heroballing with 0 defense right now

Yep...and Parker doesn't care. He won his Euroball title and that's all that matters since he didn't have that. It's more important than another ring at this point in his career.

[HI-FI]

Hopefully he still does care but he's also the guy who acted like we had no chance a couple seasons ago, so maybe the international shit appeals to him more. which is strange with Parker is normally he is good during the RS, just the playoffs when the haters like me have something to complain about. But this RS has been brutal,if not for second team, THAT DUDE and of course The Legend, this team would be in a lot worse shape.

Normally Parker is playing decent enough in the RS so he can be part of MVP conversation, but not this year.

[TheGoldStandard]

Perhaps parker will flip results, sucky regular season and go HAM in the playoffs.. dude needs rest though, looks like an average pg out there.

Parker did do well in spurts last year in the playoffs no doubt but Tim put us on his back IMO, he had 31 and 17 in game 6 and at his age thats incredible! He did all he could to win another title and Parker yeah hit some shots late but overall was 6-23 in the game or something of that nature, so he came on late after a horrible start of 4-21. Parker did play though well in stretches and had his games, after he got hurt though in the finals it was pretty much a wrap for him and he was tired.

[spurraider21]

i'm surprised the spurs have such a good record so far. fools gold or not, i'll take it, considering we are playing nowhere near our best. last year Parker was a top 5 player (top 2-3 for huge chunks of the season) in the league during the regular season. he is a 31 year old pg with LOTS of miles who's game is mostly predicated on running around a million screens and using his blazing speed off the dribble.

[FireMicoHalili]

Saw this coming when he asked for permission to play this summer. Happened to Manu before

[Uriel]

Pop doesn't think Tony Parker is fatigued.


I keep looking at him, because he had a long summer. We really depend on him for scoring and setting people up and that sort of thing. And he hasn’t really shown any signs [of fatigue]. We’ve given him time off here and there, just to make sure we’re putting money in the bank so to speak. It’s something I’m going to keep an eye on, but so far we haven’t seen him exhibit any sort of tiredness based on the long summer.

Good regular season player. Poor playoff performer in general(high usage, low efficiency). Parker's not a particularly gifted playmaker either. As a result, he doesn't bring much to the table, come playoff time, besides his mid volume scoring. Generally pretty overrated on Spurstalk. Benefited greatly from playing most of his career in the post-handcheck era. TP's clearly not meant to be a first option in the playoffs. The results speak for themselves.

Kawhi is not shooting because he wants to step up without taking risks, go figure, nobody expected Manu making so many points but he took his chances.
When Kawhi can shoot goes weird hesitates and most times pass the ball, and yes tonight Frenchie and Patty were heroes.

TP's in playoff mode.

[HI-FI]

lots of wheels coming off.

[apalisoc_9]

Tim Duncan 10 shoots :lmao

[Darius McCrary]

Falling down on every layup for ~500 games in s row finally catching up to Parker. He's lost his burst, tbh.

[HarlemHeat37]

Let him rest his body for a few weeks, tbh..

[apalisoc_9]

What happened to TP?

Didint watch the game..He's got 18 minutes in two overtime play.

Hoping it's not serious...

[HarlemHeat37]

Please, tbh:(..

[TheGreatYacht]

The guy doesn't like taking month long vacations during the regular season like some OTHER guy.

Seriously Manu doesn't even show up in Road/Home games

[freetiago]

he should denounce his All-Star selection for DeMarcus Cousins tbh...

I thought you'd be really happy that Manu's out for a long time. Since Manu's a role player they should be just fine without him so so why are you so obsessed with him or what happens to him?

[Chomag]

His type of PG usually seem to hit a cliff at about his age, and with all the extra miles TP has put on during his career I dont know. I hope it really is just being beat up and not into it yet, and not just his body running out of gas from the father of time.

Anyone wondering about Tony Parker recently should get a view of the leg w/o a sleeve. Looks like it has been attacked by a rabid wolverine. - @JMcDonald_SAEN

why snub Dragic again?

[TD 21]

Even though I stand by what I said, if the sense is Ginobili and Leonard are ready to go coming out of the break, then they should play him as little as possible in the next two and sit him for the three games coming out of the break.

That way, they should be able to have their cake and eat it too, in the sense of resting him some ( with the exception of the All-Star game, where he'll likely play 5-10 minutes, that would give him 2 full weeks between games), while not losing too much so as to open the door for the Heat to pull away and the Trail Blazers, Clippers and possibly Rockets, to pass them.

:tu

[Malik Hairston]

Should have rested a lot longer, tbh..

[MaNu4Tres]

Should have rested a lot longer, tbh..

He hasn't been the same all year.

I'd really like to know what he did while Pop babied him all year.

Did he take advantage of the time off by lounging around outside of mandatory rehab and gym work? Or did he go the extra mile by doing EXTRA rehab/gym work voluntarily (outside of mandatory rehab/gym work)?

From the looks of it, it seems like Parker just did the bare minimum to keep the coaches happy and took advantage of the time off lounging around. There's no other excuse for his play right now considering the time Pop gave him to rest throughout the season.

Slightly hurt or not, Spurs won't win many more games if Parker continues his 03'-like performance.

[freetiago]

only 7 more years to go tbh:downspin:

[Malik Hairston]

Damn, this thread was made over a year ago and he still hasn't recovered, tbh..He's just finished as anything more than a slightly above average player and we need to accept it:-(..

[Johnny RIngo]

No amount of rest is going to save Parker. The timvp crowd just needs to accept that Parker's no longer a good player and is actually hurting the team with his current role on the Spurs. Only solution is trading him(impossible with that terrible contract) or significantly decreasing his minutes. He's the Josh Smith of the Spurs

[apalisoc_9]

As usual, Good call from Malik.

It's funny seeing people questioning Malik's OP in this thread.

Mainstream fans :lol

[spurraider21]

cant believe we're only 1.5 seasons removed from peak MVParker :lol

[Arcadian]

Spurs need Parker to play like a top 3 PG to make a run

Ah, but you were wrong about that (thankfully). :lol

[Malik Hairston]

^^Yep, I was like all these others Parker believers, tbh, thinking he was actually a vital piece for the Spurs:lmao..
