Let's take it easy on Parker

[RD2191]

Tbh. For the sake of Brazil. Seriously though Spurs need to start looking for a younger PG for the season after this one.

[apalisoc_9]

Parker will continue playing the same way.

Prior to this game he said he was giving the reigns to other young players like nando..but what does he do the next two games? shoot 20% and take billions of shots.

I hope he breaks his leg.

If Brazil leaves because Parker is no longer a spur, then that just shows he's a player fan.

[hater]

Sergio Rodriguez and Sergio Llull seemed 10x faster than Parker tonight. It was pretty bad

[RD2191]

Fellas I know Parker sucked, again. But it's tough for everyone. He's our starting PG so his decline affects us all.

He's the Kobe of the Spurs franchise...he is cancer has already metastasized so there is no way to get ride of him until his contract runs out.

I'm not going anywhere

Yeah. It sux but it is what it is. He's what we got so let's hope he adjusts his game.

Looks like father time has indeed grabbed hold of TP. This just shows how much of a legend TD is.

[Kikoluna]

Parker is terrible. Start patty.

And Gasol tbh. Dude is 35 and stop. Best euro

Who would have though Tim would outlast Tony when he came into the league as a baby-faced 19 yr old.

Yeah man. Pau is just killing it. Last season he averaged 18 pts and 11 rebounds (basketball reference), second only to Butler as the best player over at Chicago. He's proven to be very sturdy and they need him to be.

He wasn't so hot on defense last season & broke down in the playoffs but otherwise he was one of the best big-men on offense.

[SpurPadre]

I just read about the game. Was it just shots not falling along with good defense or did he look like he's way past his prime?

And yet Tristan Thompson shitted down his throat during the playoffs... Damn, Cavs are stacked.



Kobe's theft of MVPau's 2010 finals mvp was even worse than what Kiwi did to Tim :depressed

They are not stacked you fucking idiot.
The Cavs are fucking shit and only get anywhere because they play in a shit arse conference.
Fuck you

First off, Pau was fuckin' injured during the Cavs series, he actually ate up Tristan in Gm 1. As far as 2010, Pau wasn't the MVP b/c he was playing against a battered frontline that included Fat Baby/washed up Sheed rather than his nemesis Perkins/healthy KG. Had Perkins not gotten injured the Celtics would have won the Series. If anyone should have been the MVP, it should have been Artest for bailing them out on offense & putting the clamps on Pierce along w/ Rondo laying a bunch of bricks while being dared to shoot.

[Brian Windhorst]

Parkersuckers on life support tbh

All he needs to do this year is play the latter-years JKidd Andre Miller role. Just find an open teammate and save energy for D.

7-9 FGA per game is reasonable just to keep the defense honest tbh

[apalisoc_9]

Parker is going to average 12-13 fga, sadly..

That's why it's better he breaks his legs than bring this team down.

[Kawhitstorm]

I just read about the game. Was it just shots not falling along with good defense or did he look like he's way past his prime?

He was randomly falling on the ground, getting blocked, not able to beat his man & missed floaters/mid range shots/FTs. His issue is basically he can't get into the paint b/c he has lost a couple of steps thus he has to take difficult shots & can't get into any type of groove. He doesn't seem to be limping & I'm assuming he hasn't lost his touch around the rim thus Pop should just take the ball out of his hand & make him a cutter ala Tony Allen.

[Sean Cagney]

Parker is terrible. Start patty.

Parker fell off but Patty is not a starting PG in the NBA.

[Kawhitstorm]

Yep, let Patty feast against backups & just pray Parker doesn't get annihilated by the opposing starting PGs.

Yes PATFO should already be preparing for a contingent Parker plan..I'm expecting Pop to pull the "out with various maladies" card at one point..What was RC thinking handing that contract, tbh..It was 100% thank you deal in retrospect that happened in the afterglow of the '14 championship run..The advanced metric gurus in our FO must have been in on his decline already during the regular/PO season that year, but RC probably shrugged it off erring on loyalty/trust part..

[TheDoctor]

At least Enrique is happy he shitted on the Republic Tribe of Latvia.

[T_L_P]

I wouldn't even be concerned if Pop just benched him when he's playing like ass.

Unfortunately, as we saw last year, Pop won't do that because he doesn't have the guts to bench his 'star'.

[timtonymanu]

Damn, I was hoping Enrique fans would be right when they said he would have a bounce back season.

Thanks for the info. Well, fortunately there's plenty of time for him to readjust his game and still be effective for us.

[DAF86]

The last two NBA seasons and this Euro tournament, I think it's time to start contemplating the idea that Tony's decline is permanent and start planning accordingly. The thing with Tony is that he doesn't seem to have the kind of game to be an off ball player. He needs to start practicing more and more of the corner 3, imho.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

There's really no point in bashing players that are on the team you pull for.

[testies]

Can we talk about how passive Diaw looked? I know in FIBA the paint is more packed, but he didn't do shit against the garbage spanish 4s

He did get enough touches w/ Tony hero balling & Batum/De Colo being higher up in the food chain. It also did help that Gobert camps inside the restricted area thus Bobo couldn't work his magic in the paint.
