I'm behind Parker

[FkLA]

The Frenchman is ballin and the Spurs need him, it's undeniable at this point. Looks rejuvenated and is actually busting his ass on defense...the scoring was nice but his defense yesterday is why he won me over. As a sign of good faith I will no longer exclusively refer to him as Rique/Enrique.

Here's to him staying healthy and being a major contributor to 6. :bobo

Wow, if you are being sincere I am very impressed (if not, well played). Nice to see all of ST band together against the world (the rest of the NBA and the media covering it) as the Spurs return to the mountain top. Valid criticism is valuable, while trolling and bashing while good for a few laughs never really raises the bar or changes minds.

[SpursFan86]

I don't even care about calling him Enrique, or even Porker :lol Just enough with the incessant bashing and thread-making every time he does something you don't like. Hell, make an "Official Porker is freezing out Kawhi" thread and just bump it every time you think he's holding Kawhi back. Would rather have that than new threads about the same thing every game.

[TXstbobcat]

I loved his comment in the interview after the game that he only cares about winning championships.

If there was just one thread that got bumped every time MVParker did something people didn't like it would be 3 times larger than that silly Jimmer thread I can't believe keeps growing, and growing. :bangThat being said better one giant thread you can choose to avoid like the aforementioned Jimmer thread; instead of 20 new treads a day.

[Spurs9]

Called it last year when everyone was hating on him. Knew he would put the work in and come back stronger than ever tbh :lol

[spurraider21]

He had one possession where he was switched onto LeBron and pestered him into giving the ball up in an isolation possession. Physically he doesn't have what it takes to play good defense regularly , but it was good to see effort.

Don't worry. You think you were fighting this battle alone. If you would have bothered to look to your left and right, you would have noticed an army beside you. You weren't even one of the generals. And, the opponent was a circled group of mongrels.

I'm all for dishing criticism when it's due. Last year, Parker was terrible. Not sure if it was because of injury, spacing issues with the Tiago/Tim frontcourt, etc, but criticism was warranted.

This year is some of the best basketball he's ever played. Granted, he's not averaging 20ppg, but he's picking his spots like a surgeon. Rarely do we see "dribble, dribble, dribble" from him. And the defense he's playing :wow

Pop does have to be careful with him, though. Can't burn him out.

[hater]

We were all behind him when he put us up 3 with 30,seconds to go and then Evita crashed the bus

This is my only concern since he's really busting his ass on both sides. OTOH he took a month off last year and was terrible after. Pop has the find the right balance for him.

I think it's fair to observe, but criticizing a guy that was often obviously playing injured is not only not warranted, it's deplorable. Hard to believe that his injury status is still somehow a secret or otherwise up for debate. He was overplayed through many of his own nagging injuries during Patty's absence for recovery after surgery. Manu was, too.

Parker's had two bouts of hamstring issues that we are aware of. At least one back injury. Multiple ankle issues. The hamstring issue, alone, is enough to give him a pass.

The over-dribbling is sometimes a problem. He mentioned in an interview that he thought Steve Nash was deadly about not giving up his dribble after an initial probe of the lane failed. He modeled some of his game based upon that. A lot of times, he choses to take the bail-out shot, making him look like a bit of a ball-hog, or he passes the ball to someone and gets lambasted for dumping the possession on someone to bail him out. Truthfully, he's just not as good at it as Steve Nash was, but who is? Nash was pretty damn good. Because Parker isn't as good as Nash at it doesn't mean he's bad. Parker, when healthy, is still really damn good.

We can agree on the "can't burn him out" aspect. I would like to see him play at 100% in the playoffs.

[SpursforSix]

Called it last year when everyone was hating on him. Knew he would put the work in and come back stronger than ever tbh :lol

I was sitting there watching as he took over in the first half thinking that's still a bad dude. Maybe even more impressive than his speed and quickness in the early 90's.
His ability to play at this level and develop the footwork and shooting. He looks damn near close to a $15,000,000 per year player.

[SpursforSix]

I think he also needs to be given a lot of credit for not using the injury as an excuse. I think the fact that he didn't mention it much might have led to the perception that he really wasn't that hurt and that he was slacking.
He's way tougher mentally and physically than I've ever given him credit for. Possibly his seemingly playboy jet setting lifestyle colored my perception.

His performance this season leads me to believe that he works way harder on his game and puts in way more time than the public sees.

And I guess the fact that he's so well respected by his teammates and FO should have been a clue. Hindsight is 20/20 but the fact that Tim and Manu supported him so much...I don't think they would have done that with a slacker.

In Pop I trust. He's made some questionable in game decisions but he remains the the best personnel guy the league has ever seen.

Agree on the not talking about injury. Pop, he, and others would mention it. But, never really used it as an excuse. Didn't make a lot of it. He played. That's what you want from a teammate. So, he didn't whine about injuries like you hear some other players do, and they get lambasted for whining. He go the other side of the coin. Criticized for poor play.

[DAF86]

Huge game by Parker, if not for him the Spurs would have lost in a blowout.

Only problem I had with him yesterday was when Kawhi was asking for the ball in the low block after that huge putback he had and Tony denied him the ball to call his own number and turn it over. Our young star was clearly full of confidence after the great play he made in the previous possession and was asking for the ball; you have to feed him the ball in that circumstance. Specially if you are the experienced starting PG of the team.

Criticism is one thing, what these guys were dishing was not criticism.

there was a wide range of what was being dished. much of it warranted and/or at least understandable. And a lot of it was just internet piling on and having a laugh
I don't know who wished an injury to Parker but my guess is that if a Spurs fan said it, it was in jest.

there was also plenty on the other side that wouldn't acknowledge that he was a day over 25.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Agree with everything but this. Just plain ol' BS. Just about anything outside of tongue in cheek praise of Parker was done with temper towards his advancing age. While it will be quite easy to find trashing of him, it will be quite difficult for you to manifest over-exaggerated praise of his ability from any reasonable number of posters to support your claim that it was "plenty". IMHO.

IDK. I'm sure it was in response to the constant bashing but any legitimate comments about his age were often categorically denied. That was my point.
I agree that there probably wasn't plenty of exaggerating his ability. Just that there was a lot of denial that he does have some weaknesses in his game.

[littlecoyotecoin]

I guess we can leave it there. I usually defend him, but always acknowledge his limitations, and just never see what you saw in any significant amount approaching even a fraction of the negative criticism. Drawing and sort of parallel equivalence seems more that just wrong.

This is a good idea. Like the Gutless Worms threads. It actually becomes a pun joke and its not annoying to anyone else not on the bandwagon. I still get chuckles when I see Gutless Worms bumped up lol

This will last til he has a bad game or a bad stretch of games... Which is inevitable and okay at his age.

he has proved that last seasons struggles were a result of being injured and unable to stay in shape though. The important thing is that he has showed he can still do a lot of the things that have made him great for so long which we will need him to do a few times per series come playoff time. Try not to be short sighted about his importance to this team in the mean time .

[spursistan]

Too much peace in this thread...staying in the spirit of ST, i still have something to nitpick at: TP should stop taking the final FTs supposedly to ice the game..:bang

Gib Kiwi the ball, he earned that right with 88% FT shooting..we seriously dodged a bullet in the Wolves/Cavs game :lol..

[steeledl]

Really impressed with how he competed on defense last night as well... But if he competes like that every night he will burn himself out by the playoffs. Lets try not to kill him for not competing like that on a nightly basis and rest comfortably knowing that he can put that effort in meaningful playoff games.

Spurs are winning, Kawhi became a superstar, Manu / Tim continue to play great ball, Bobo is in shape, LMA get acclimated fast.... and Tony P is succeding in transforming his game, living up his contract... it's celebration time. Let's all enjoy the ride

Now I'm not stupid enough to think some will not throw him under the bus again at the first sign of bad stretch... but the genuine fans rooting for their team and the players will always be grateful... that's what matters

To be fair I had serious doubts about his capacity to remodel his game, to go back to the gym, to work his ass off again after an awful Euro but Parker continues to surprise us

Nice trick dabom. Instead of taking the loss like fkla you just redefine "role player" Tony to be a guy who runs the offense and can lead the team in scoring every third game or so. Definitely prigoni like play.

I don't know, though, I see vintage Parker more than prigoni. Maybe you are just wrong

I even made a Tony Appreciation thread in 2014. I'm a Tony fan. Don't like Enrique though. I've always wanted a lesser role for Tony. I'm glad he is doing it now.

[dabom]

It's really a simple question. No need to meltdown.

From your thread: "Can we waive tony and spread the contract over a larger time?"

I can always tell you were wrong when you always changing your question when one doesn't work. Hold this L. :lmao

Only way I see the spurs in contention next couple of years. We need that cap space for NBA players. Highest paid player to do absolutely shit. I wish I was joking when I said that.

It's nice to see more Spurs fans noticing and appreciating how well Parker's doing this year. I was starting to feel like the only poster giving the guy props for awhile.

Lot of guys are doin well now. I actually think our potential is higher than the Warrior's. Imo they seem like they can't get any better (steadily less production) while we're better.

[100%duncan]

:wow

Nice to see everyone finally on the Spurs boat tbh. I hope TP doesnt get burned out by april though. Danny needs to start hitting, lma needs to start being consistent, and kawhi needs to keep playing like the mvp level player that he is.

[313]

:wow in on jinx thread


We were all behind him when he put us up 3 with 30,seconds to go and then Evita crashed the bus
5 wasn't it? 3 on Bron then steal+layup...

[benefactor]

OP never hated Parker. He admitted to me years ago.

[100%duncan]

Its funny even Brazil and Mid know that the criticism last year was warranted and that Parker is a different man this season yet some guys here act like they were cucked on too much emotion for a message board imho

[midnightpulp]

I think it's fair to observe, but criticizing a guy that was often obviously playing injured is not only not warranted, it's deplorable. Hard to believe that his injury status is still somehow a secret or otherwise up for debate. He was overplayed through many of his own nagging injuries during Patty's absence for recovery after surgery. Manu was, too.

Parker's had two bouts of hamstring issues that we are aware of. At least one back injury. Multiple ankle issues. The hamstring issue, alone, is enough to give him a pass.

The over-dribbling is sometimes a problem. He mentioned in an interview that he thought Steve Nash was deadly about not giving up his dribble after an initial probe of the lane failed. He modeled some of his game based upon that. A lot of times, he choses to take the bail-out shot, making him look like a bit of a ball-hog, or he passes the ball to someone and gets lambasted for dumping the possession on someone to bail him out. Truthfully, he's just not as good at it as Steve Nash was, but who is? Nash was pretty damn good. Because Parker isn't as good as Nash at it doesn't mean he's bad. Parker, when healthy, is still really damn good.

We can agree on the "can't burn him out" aspect. I would like to see him play at 100% in the playoffs.

How is it deplorable? If you're injured to the point that you perform at an all-time terrible level (Parker's series last year against the Clippers was one of the worst series played in league history for a stater per a variety of metrics), I think the commendable thing to do is remove yourself from the lineup. Yes, I know these guys are competitors, "warriors," etc, but it was obvious to everyone that Parker just wasn't right. Patty was playing better ball, so Parker should've ceded his role/more minutes to Patty.

I'm a fan of Parker probes! "Dribble, dribble, dribble," is when he just dribbles around the perimeter for 10 seconds and forces a bad 18 footer or passes it off to a teammate (who will usually be in a bad position).

[Tully365]

I'm sure if Parker saw this thread alongside your 2,365 negative, insulting posts he'd forgive you. Though he might think you're a little bit excessive and emotional.

Sheesh. You don't remove yourself. This doesn't happen in a vacuum. Based upon his health, they decided he was still their best option, and he gave what he had. As if fuckin' Patty, who I love, could fill the shoes.

It is not really on him tho... Pop is in charge of who is playing or not. Part of last year problem is probably not just physical, He lost confidence on his shot, was mentally gassed and on a in between area about his role. Not sure of how he managed his offseason but you can see that he is mentally sharper, decided to focus more on defense, physically ready. IMO he talked a lot with Tim and Pop. they surely cleared up what team is expecting from him.

[cd021]

:tu

I'm all for dishing criticism when it's due. Last year, Parker was terrible. Not sure if it was because of injury, spacing issues with the Tiago/Tim frontcourt, etc, but criticism was warranted.

This year is some of the best basketball he's ever played. Granted, he's not averaging 20ppg, but he's picking his spots like a surgeon. Rarely do we see "dribble, dribble, dribble" from him. And the defense he's playing :wow

Pop does have to be careful with him, though. Can't burn him out.

I think the spacing issues was an underrated factor. Duncan really hasn't been able to shoot from mid range since the 12-13 season. Leonard shot poorly for most of the first half of last season (from 3 ) and Diaw had a poor year shooting the ball from outside of the paint.

[AFBlue]

Just setting you up for the fall. Waiting for the other shoe to drop, the straw to break the camel's back, etc. it will not last.

You're probably right, because Patty really isn't as good as billed, and Manu is too old, so we'll overplay Parker again, he'll get a nagging hammy or ankle, and his production will drop off, and then everyone will say he sucks again. So, I agree with you there. It's only a matter of time. He's peaking in January in regular season games. Probably won't end well. But, not for reasons attributed. He'll be an injured shell of his badass self.

I'd hate to be behind Tony at a buffet amirite

Hoping I'm wrong tbqh. McCallum sucks, but maybe they've found something in Simmons and Anderson that they can piece together distributor/playmaker lineups and not tax the old guys. Guess we'll see.

[pgardn]

The Frenchman is ballin and the Spurs need him, it's undeniable at this point. Looks rejuvenated and is actually busting his ass on defense...the scoring was nice but his defense yesterday is why he won me over. As a sign of good faith I will no longer exclusively refer to him as Rique/Enrique.

Here's to him staying healthy and being a major contributor to 6. :bobo

You voted to wish him injured this season.
