Just when you think you're out, he pulls you back in. Parker thread.

[sasaint]

At this point, I don't see how starting Murray (when he's back) would make the team worse than having Tony out there. On offense he couldn't possible be much worst than Tony's 0/4 ppg while making life much more difficult for everyone else with his lack of ability to keep a defense honest, and on defense it would be lights out. Murray would give us the chance to switch 1 through 3 without much implications, against most teams.

At this juncture the Spurs don't have much of a choice but to play Tony. Believe me, it hurts to say so, since I was advocating starting Dijon back before the ASG. But Dijon will be back too late for this season. He will lack game-shape as well as any chemistry with other players - especially the starters. If he had been healthy when Tony was injured, things might have been very different. I have been saying for quite a while that Dijon's injury was a genuine tragedy for him and the Spurs, too.

[sasaint]

Yup. That's the mentality that has Murray eliminated from playoff contributions before the season even starts, regardless of what he shows in the regular season.

Dijon's injury has conveniently relieved Pop of any potential responsibility for not having developed him and prepared him for a role in the playoffs.

[UZER]

This. His injury really came at a bad time.

He wasn't going to play anyway.

Exactly.

[gambit1990]

It's not about the better one starting or picking one over the other, it's about them needing to do it the way they do it, so that the team has it's best chance to function well over 48 minutes.
mid is getting shit on so badly because he made it seem like parker could replicate his play/wouldn't fall off a cliff.

he was wrong this season, just like last season.

You helmets had the EXACT same crusade last year. "Porker this, Porker that, Patty always shows up in the playoffs..."

What happened? Your boy completely embarrassed himself against the only real team the Spurs played while Parker was at least decent. Only argument I need:

Some (or one, with numerous "alts") of these idiots are just trolling, but some clearly don't understand this.

It's not about the better one starting or picking one over the other, it's about them needing to do it the way they do it, so that the team has it's best chance to function well over 48 minutes.

How a fan base that's gotten to witness, at the very least the best sixth man of his generation, doesn't comprehend this, is beyond me.

They're playerfans/playerhaters first, who construct lineups like they do in NBA2K.

You are missing one thing, Porker played twice the minutes and he is a chucker that starts to make shots when its too late, just like game 5 vs Miami (2014)- 60 shots in your chart.
While Patty is unselfish and understands his role on the team - 24 shots in your chart.
He even doubles Patty in free throw attemps, another way to cheat the points chart.
Porker 4 steals, Patty 3 playing half the time.

Fuck these Parker vs Patty threads. Both of them suck defensively to the point where they might as well wear opposing team jerseys. And show up 1 out of every 5 games offensively. So embarassing how bad the guard situation is.

The transcription should show that, Spurs were 66 points and Clips 72, there was a 6 point difference and then the Pork comes in... that was the end, if you dont tie the game or pick a lead when you have the chance, there is no guarantee you will get it later.

All they have been able to do is phase him out more and more but his contract is still there and you still have to find minutes for him to play.
He played a lot with the bench tonight.

He really is performing like the worst player on this team considering role and minutes.

He's no longer good enough at the thing he was good at and he doesn't have any roleplayer skills that help the team, that is why he's such a negative. He has only one style that he can be successful with and he's no longer good enough in a consistent basis with that style to warrant him being in it. He doesn't space the floor for others being a reluctant shooter, he doesn't cut, he is not a positive defender, he's a poor off the ball player. He's a ball dominant, diminutive scorer, who is no longer good enough at scoring to be taking possessions away from the team in that way. Yes, he can set up Aldridge, and has improved his passing. But the Aldridge PnP are not great offense. They are probably one of the reasons the Spurs have not been explosive scoring and I would rather see Lamarcus go to the basket himself and be aggressive than have a PnP LMA for Tony's sake. At least when he's aggressive Aldridge can draw fouls and put pressure on the rim.

Tony will be hard to fit in moving forward and maybe the Spurs move him permanently to the bench, but he doesn't fit with them. The bench guys right now don't suit him. He can't play with Anderson, Simmons, Lee and sometimes Dedmon there. It may in a very low key way, one of the reasons Gasol is shooting more 3s than ever and is now playing with the bench.

He can't play with Forbes who is a poor defender who can shoot the 3 and is more suitable for a Patty Mills role. Patty/Tony and Tony/Forbes are unworkable together. It may very well be one of the reasons Patty should also not be reupped (money issues aside, Tony and Patty can't play together and Tony should be in a bench role at this point).

If Tony plays with Dejounte, he takes the ball away from Dejounte. And the thing is all those other guys are suitable roleplayers for their roles and salaries. They all bring something in very cheap contracts, young legs, have been healthy and available to play (Dijon's groin injury was a shame but he was healthy most of the season riding the pine). Within the roles they have played they have been positive contributors or at worst, adequate. And this is coming from young players who don't play regularly to get rhythm and chemistry with teammates.

Other guys contribute rebounding, defense, and playmaking within the offense enough to still manage to be positive impact players for the team. That is more than Tony is currently managing.

Tony's ship is sinking fast and he's taking the Spurs with him sadly. And it's not new either. This has been a long time coming since his sharp decline as an elite player in the 2014-15 season.

I am not a Tony hater... I wish this wasn't so, bc the Spurs don't really have starting quality PG to supplant Tony with and are making do with different lineups and Pop still testing guys out there, with Mills and sometimes rare no PG lineups too. I think Pop is not blind and is seeing what is going on but he has no alternatives that are palatable enough for him and he has relied on Tony for too long. He comes in and gives some flashes "pulling Pop back in" like he does with Mid, and so Pop stays the course.

Bottom line:

TL DR: He's no longer a starting caliber PG and having poor roleplayer skills, he will be tough to fit in moving forward to put it kindly.
