This game is an example of of why I've been an advocate of Tony this season.

[midnightpulp]

It seems that Pop received part of the memo. Still not a lot Kawhi's post ups but he played Boris-LMA and the Spurs outplayed the Warriors in one area of the game... Warriors 37 rebounds, Spurs 53.

It's not hard to see that in a small ball lineup or with Kawhi-Boris-LMA frontcourt, Kawhi will be a rebounding beast, 14 tonight.

That lineup is encouraging and a good matchup vs. the Warriors small ball, but I don't know if it's sustainable because we never know which Boris we're going to get lately. But if Boris plays like that, we increase our odds.

Scoring still needs to improve. 87 isn't enough to beat the Warriors in a series. I don't even think averaging 100 is enough.

[midnightpulp]

You already became wrong cuck. :lmao

Deflecting again.

Is 87 enough. Yes or no?

If the Spurs want to win a playoffs series against the Warriors, they have to slow their pace. I wouldn't say 87 every game but they can't match Warriors rhythm on offense and go for 100, 110 in the series, that won't work.

A pace that results in 104-100, 106-103 like scores is slow enough and "fast enough."

I think we won't beat them in those scores but we'll see.

That pace was there tonight. Neither team just wasn't scoring, and the Spurs turned the ball over 17 times.

Spurs hit half the chip shots they missed tonight and hit some of the freebies they missed tonight they top 100, which should be enough to beat the Dubs consistently if the defense/pace is like tonight.

[dabom]

People are deluded if they think we're beating the Warriors, or even the Clippers and Thunder with a two man attack (Kawhi + LMA) that relegates everyone else to a role player.

Every elite team has a better offensive 1-2 punch than us. Curry + Klay, Lebron + Kyrie, Blake + Paul, Durant + Westbrook. It could even be argued we have the weakest "Big 3" of the elite teams. We aren't winning jack shit if Tony is relegated to a 9-10ppg role player who just "Gibs the bawl to Kiwi :cry."

If Manu and Duncan were 5 years younger, by all means, Tony should be relegated. But like it or not, he's our 3rd best offensive player and he NEEDS to be a threat. This is basically Kawhi's rookie season as "the guy." He hasn't peaked yet offensively. Like other elite offensive players (most of whom were the offensive guy their first day in the league), it took them 2-3 years to really become that guy who can carry a team on their shoulders. Kawhi isn't there yet, and is probably a season or two off from hitting his offensive peak. LMA's been great, but that 33% shooting in last year's playoffs will be a worry. We need a 3rd guy who is a threat to drop 15-20 points somewhat consistently, and the only player really capable of that is Tony (when healthy).

And no, this ain't about retarded crew feuds. Kawhi is still the best overall player on this team, but he's going to need 2 or 3 guns by his side if we're to win this thing. Kawhi isn't just at the offensive level where he can average 30-35 points over a playoff series and make up the difference for teammates under-performing. Curry, Lebron, Durant and Westbrook are all at that level.


Tony played great defense on Curry, though, while Patty House scored, what, 3 points, and got lit up by Leandro Barbosa.

So yes, this game is an example of Tony's worth. Thanks for the validation :tu

He scored 6 points tonight. You just contradicted yourself. :lmao

I'm always right. Which "committee" member is capable of stepping up with a 19 point performance on the road in what is practically a must win game?

He disappeared 2 games in a row and came out and made shots. You actually just proved he is part of the "Committee". :lol

Yeah, keep thinking Danny, an 80 year old Manu, Patty House, and Fat Ass are putting up 19, 8, 5 on 50% at Chesapeake.

I'm always right. You can apologize now.

Patty H:loluse

At least patty didn't objectively lose the game like last time.

Danny was on fire 1st game. No one 2nd game. Tony 3rd game. He isn't a third option like you predicted. :lmao

Counting a home game 40 point blowout :lol
Tony also had 12 dimes that game, setting the table for LMA like a chef.

Road is where good players step up. Tony did.

Just take the L, bro.

Again, I didn't bump the thread you stupid fuck. I even gave some dap to Tony Parker. Chill dude...

Yep. Pop went with Crew favorite Patty House, and he was fuckin' horrible down the stretch and airballed a 3. Lesson learned. Closed with Tony and :hat

The 2nd unit actually blew up a lead in the end of the first quarter. He was still great.

[pgardn]

Goboom da engineer still thinks Patty is a PG...

[midnightpulp]

No. A committee implies each player is of equal worth. Tell me who is capable of stepping up with 19 points, 8 boards, 5 dimes on 45-50% shooting in a road playoff game among Danny, House, Boris, and Manu?

I'll wait.

And they are. I already was quoted saying different players will be the 3rd option during different games. :lol

There's a big difference between scoring 15-20 in a blow out, and scoring on the road.

But parker didn't just score,, he set the tone by hitting clutch shots, rebounds, etc. Patty has never taken over a game like that. He hits shots, but usually when open due to someone else drawing the defense in. Parker has cohones. Deal with it

[dbreiden83080]

Anyone that shits on him is a troll. I don't care how long you have been a fan, he has done so much for this franchise and if you think otherwise you are simply trolling.

[dabom]

No one is saying Tony had a bad night. He had a great night. Does that make him the third option all of a sudden? I don't think so.

[pgardn]

He was the 3rd option tonight. OKC dared him to be and he made them pay.

My point...

[K...]

No one is saying Tony had a bad night. He had a great night. Does that make him the third option all of a sudden? I don't think so.

I won't say he's a permanent third option, but he's our best third option. Even if they means he's only showing in every third or fourth game. The fact that he could be a net positive on the road makes him more valuable than others. I don't want to say manu is done but he's been pretty quiet on the court.

[pgardn]

My point...

"No one is saying he had a bad night..."

You needed to state the above to make YOUR point?
Sure thing...

[midnightpulp]

And they are. I already was quoted saying different players will be the 3rd option during different games. :lol

Who? Danny is the only player to score near 20 points out of the committee, and it took him being like 6-7 from 3, which is a fluke.

Take the L, bro. You and I both know no one on the Coshitty could step up with 19 and 8 in a big road playoff game. Parker has so far had two road playoff games in which he's scored over 15 points on >50% :hat

House, Manu, Fat Boy, and D-League haven't. The closest was Manu with 11 points on 3-5 shooting.

Take. That. L. Bro.

I think Tony played well, and that's important, but most of Green's points in Game One were in the first half when things were still undecided. It wasn't like Game Three of the 2013 Finals where he scored a whole bunch of points in garbage time to pull ahead of Neal. Anyway, Tony has to take advantage of match-ups, and right now, he's the fourth option for teams to stop. It's critical against GS if the Spurs make it to the WCF that Green score enough to draw someone besides Curry so Parker can actually have a chance to put up points.

I mean, he could have shot like 6-11 and get those same stats.

Green had 16/8/3/2/5 in Game Seven against the Clippers last year. It definitely happens, but I agree Parker is easily the best candidate to score points.

That was last year's Green. He was a lot more consistent and deadly last season. This season's Green has me nervous every time he shoots. But I still want him to keep shooting. We're going nowhere if he doesn't chip in his usual 9-12 points on good shooting.

Every Green 3 since the championship run has made me nervous. He brings it on rare occasions but I cringe every time he attempts a shot.
