MVParker

[ElNono]

Wow... he was dazzling today... more of that, please!

[HI-FI]

pretty much. Enrique turned into MVParker, Turnobili into Ginobili. Duncan is always Duncan, just doing his best with age. Great game from all, hopefully they build from this.

[Mugen]

He was terrible in the 4th quarter....

[baseline bum]

Gotta see this more consistently. If Game 1-6 Parker shows up for most of the series, the Spurs have no chance against Portland.

[Seventyniner]

Where the hell was this all series? Did he somehow get healthy between games 6 and 7?

If Parker has any of this in his tank for every game, the Blazers are screwed.

[Robz4000]

If this is the Tony the Spurs will have going forward/in winning time, my confidence in the team skyrockets. Not sure him, Manu, and Tim will have the endurance to last to the Finals if each series drags out like this one, but seeing the Big 3 play like they did today was nostalgic.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Tony was great.

I'd still like to see another month or so of Renaissance Duncan before it's all over. It's like Tim intentionally takes himself out of the gameplan at times.

[apalisoc_9]

Took way too many shots..

[Mugen]

He was dominant tbh...only chance the Spurs have to ring this year is for him to play like that the majority of the remaining games.

[ElNono]

I kinda want Blair to talk shit to him every game now, tbh...

What a great teammate tbh....

[jag]

Loved when tony got in that fatass' face. Fuck Blair

[spurs10]

I kinda want Blair to talk shit to him every game now, tbh... Really glad Tony gave that ingrate a piece of his mind. Any idea what was said?

[siraulo23]

so there really was nothing wrong with him the 1st 4 games? he looked so damn slow

but man was he impressive in game 7, vintage tp tbh, manu too looked like the manu of old on a couple of drives

[pjjrfan]

Tony was the star in this game but for the series, Manu was the most consistent, his only really bad game was game 6. For us to go all the way these two guys have to be great with Tim and Leonard picking up the slack.

[MI21]

Manu and TP both looked very spry and seemed to have pace they hadn't showed for the entire series. Weird.

[Blake]

All three big three played at all star levels

[Robz4000]

Splitter was MVP doe...

Just enjoy the game.. not much chance this will last

[freetiago]

word is still out on Duncan tbh..
Parker is just being his inconsistent self
will probably pull his Kobe warrior schickt when he shits the bed vs Portland again
hes average something like 13 points on sub 40% shooting vs Portland this year

Duncan had a bye playing undersized centers who play no defense to begin with
same with Splitter

[wildchild]

Really glad Tony gave that ingrate a piece of his mind. Any idea what was said?

i agree with this and splitter get honorable mention because he was huge but not as consistant

[heyheymymy]

463087358103932928

how do you get T'd up for that? cmon

[DAF86]

I wanted Tim to get to 20 for a vintage 20+pts game from all the members of the big three.

[Embedded]

Maybe Tony Parker has been conserving his energy. I wish he had done so by sweeping the Mavs, but then he might have been rusty. We will have Portland come into our house a little rusty, and we will have our game/no game/game/no game rhythm. EL NONO - you're the man.

[Embedded]

LMAO @ unashamed sucking up to EL NONO the moderator, hoping one day that I will be black and wondering if that means I'll automatically feel more well-endowed.

[spurs10]

463087358103932928 Good! Thanks..... heard some pretty lame 'vendetta' talk before the game attributed to Blair. Maybe it was overblown.

[ElNono]

I'm not a mod, tbh... that's and old and false rumor...

[024]

One of the rare times Parker and Ginobili both played well simultaneously. Going to need more of that.

[itsamanuthree]

:lol

[100%duncan]

Pretty much need him to stay like this to beat OKC and even have a chance against the Heat.

[Malik Hairston]

Parker had a great game 7, but until today's game, he probably deserved a D grade for the series, tbh..

Spurs don't need Tony to be as dominant as he was in today's game, but they need him to at least score efficiently and constant penetration to open shit up for everybody else..

[Kidd K]

game 6

Sigh

Depends on expectation ... hater were saying bench him we don't even need him and suddenly Parker has to play great because surprise, ball movement and 3 ball doesn't work anymore in the playoff.

Game 1, best player with Duncan
Game 2, good first half, didn't try to shoot in the 3rd quarter and it was a blowout already when he came back in the fourth
Game 3, incredible first half, did nothing in second half but without his first it could have been a blowout too
Game 4, bad game but was clutch at the end
Game 5, good but not great, clutch at the end
Game 6 same as game 5
Game 7, the only great game maybe, what was the difference ? getting calls and probably not having Belinelli destroy the lead Parker had build in first quarter every time.

+1 I agree with you. An without TP and his incredible first half, game 7 was another story ...

[hater]

MVP of the series along with Splitter. Onto the 2nd round thanks France and Brazil :tu

[EVAY]

In the post-game comments, virtually every star and both coaches referred to Tony's dominance in this game and that he was "fantastic", or words like that, and that was from the Mavs.

So obviously the opponents respect the man more than some of the alleged Spurs fans do. Remarkable to me.

He will NOT be able to play at this level in every game, thought, and any rational observer knows that. If he did, he would be the greatest point guard of all time, and he is never going to be that.

Manu's energy and focus was, to me, the biggest difference in how well everyone played in this game. Dirk noted that Tony had huge first quarters against them in virtually every home game. The thing that was different this time, imo, was that we didn't throw away the lead that we got from that strong first quarter. Manu noted that one difference for him in last night's game was that he didn't 'fall in love with' the three pointer, and that he didn't have so many turnovers. That kind of focus and discipline makes it very hard for the other team to tee off on one player like they do sometimes with Parker.

:lol 32 points on 19 shots. :lol

[DarrinS]

Parker made a lot of great individual plays.

[BillMc]

When Tony is on like that, we're hard to beat.

[Raven]

Sigh

If his previous games weren't great, the last was.

Pop strategy "When nothing works...Tony Hero to the rescue!" worked.

Tony said after the game "They tried switches and different stuff to get us out of our game, and they worked. The first three or four games, we had a hard time playing Spurs basketball, and finally Pop just decided to let me go, let me be aggressive, and just see what happened; it worked out pretty well."

I like this from Grantland.
"This league is still about players making shots, and Parker remains one of the most creative and unique scoring threats around. At first glance, his ability to get layups seems ridiculous; after all, he’s only 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds. But Parker remains the craftiest attacker in the league. The combination of his speed, his craftiness, and his on-ball decision-making is a match made in restricted-area heaven. And that spin move. Magnifique."

If a team deliberately dare one of the big 3 to beat them, you let guys do their stuff and live with the results tbh

at one point if Manu, Tim or TP can break a defense efficiently it will be just a matter of time this will open game for the others

I don't think during these POs run opponents will just watch how nice the Spurs ball movement is

[ElNono]

Wow... he was dazzling today... more of that, please!

[sook]

Ridiculous during that stretch where he was knocking those midrange jumpers one after another...

Parker playing great, carrying the team and still doesn't have a temple, church or even fountain in ST.

He does not need one tbh

Tp should be getting props thread from multiple users including me tbh

i mean he gets shitted everytime he plays poorly

[CitizenDwayne]

He's no Speedy Claxton, but he played a damn fine game.

Everytime I read a parker hate post, I hope that said individual actually has down syndrome as an excuse.

Great job by Parker again. His play in the 1st quarter was just insane, and the game was pretty much over in 3 minutes...
