Better PG: Manu or Parker

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

he had 7 asts last night playing with bench players



while Parker only avg. 4.6 ast playing with Duncan and Manu

[fred33]

you are stupid

[1Parker1]

Obviously Manu is.....that's why he plays that position regularly!

[meta2007]

Manu is a great playmaker! :)

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Manu is a great playmaker! :)




Parker has always been a score first PG

Continuing the proud tradition of Manu homers everywhere... :lmao

[mystargtr34]

The team doesnt have a real point guard. Manu Tim and Tony all average around 4 assists a game give or take

[sa_kid20]

Manu can see the floor better and is a better playmaker but Tony has always had that score first mentality so i don't expect his assts to ever be all that high

[WalterBenitez]

you are stupid

Holy shit, THAT'S WHAT I CALL A GOOD REASON :p:

[hater]

Manu just makes other players better. plain and simple

[Kori Ellis]

Pop hates playing Manu at point guard and doesn't think he's that great at it at all.

But good job starting another troll thread so early in the preseason.

[mathbzh]

So this is how you should evaluate players? Looking at statistics in one preseason game?

By this measurement Bonner is better than Duncan (14pts/9rbds in 25 minutes being better than 20pts/10 rbds in 34)... Ok I am unfair with Duncan because I don't take assists and blocks into consideration.

[inconvertible]

Manu is a 1-2 guard
Tony is actually a small 2guard.

Manu can get 7 assists regardless of what position he plays.

Ne and Barry are probably the best passers on the team.

[sa_butta]

Manu is a great versatile player, but I think it is a stretch to say he is a better point guard than Tony based on assists alone. I like Parker at the PG spot just fine.

[Hemotivo]

Manu is a veteran basketball player. He can handle the point.

[ducks]

no he can not
because he can not handle the starting point guard minutes

[ducks]

did not tp win finals mvp and you want to replace him now with somone else
why

[sa_kid20]

no he can not
because he can not handle the starting point guard minutes

yeah he can Pop just never gives him the minutes

[ducks]

pop limits his minutes
you want your starting point guard to play 36-42 minutes a night

[SequSpur]

Manu sucks as a point guard. They lost.

[mavs>spurs2]

As a spur fan it must be nice to know that even if TP or Vaughn gets hurt, you won't have to rely on Beno for backup PG minutes. Manu proved he can handle the job just fine, at least for short spells

[ducks]

yes aas a backup manu is ok at point
but not your starter

[We born to be bad]

Not discuss. Nash is better than Tony and Manu and Kobe, all together :smokin

you need to stay on topic

[We born to be bad]

you need to stay on topic

Sorry, but the stupid thread needs stupid post :lol

[Hemotivo]

did not tp win finals mvp and you want to replace him now with somone else
why :blah
I don't want to replace him.
Only when TP is injured or tired.

Manu because of his high basketball IQ can handle the point.
Plus there's Barry

[sa_kid20]

yes aas a backup manu is ok at point
but not your starter

yeah i agree obviously tony will be the starting pg i'm just saying it might not be a bad idea to use Manu at point from time to time considering the back-up pg situation

[ducks]

Lol

[WalterBenitez]

no he can not
because he can not handle the starting point guard minutes

"According to POP" :nerd

[xamila rey]

i think Manus role is well defined,
i dont like the idea of him as a pg.
that takes energy away from him.

this is not a troll thread, facts and logic were presented



and I'm not hating on anyone



don't be so quick to judge

[Oh, Gee!!]

Parker (but barely)

[nkdlunch]

Seriously, Parker is a great PG. he is not a typical PG, where he would Pass first.

He is a shooting/penetrating PG that will take a lot of attention from the opposing defense and he is unstoppable ever since he developed consistent shot and clutchness. This is why he is top 5 PG in the league.

I know some ppl critizize him for not passing first, but they need to open their eyes and see that still he is top 5 PG in the league.

that being said, Manu is not too shabby of a PG. his strength is that he gets teammates involved more. but that is not his natural position, he is best as a SG

[Mark in Austin]

You presented facts, but explain to me how comparing one player's numbers in a meaningless preseason game with another's season long average is in any way logical.

That's even dumber than saying Bonner had more points and rebounds than Duncan last night, so therefore Bonner is a better power forward.

[spursfan09]

TP is not a traditional point guard, But he's young, can score alot of points in diff ways and he almost is always the fastest player in the game. I think TP is the better pg, and will eventually be considered the better NBA player than Manu. Kind of already is actually. But I know Manu was older and his game affects more than the stat sheet. So I'm am not at all trying to downplay Manu's importance to the Spurs.

[anakha]

Sorry, but the stupid thread needs stupid post :lol

:lmao

Truer words were never spoken.

[td4mvp21]

Uh Parker????????????

She was looking for human logic, not dumbass homer logic. :lol

And you don't consider yourself a troll? Wow, someone's in denial.

[RC's Boss]

Someone close this shit for real!

[SpursIndonesia]

I think Manu's court vision is superior than Tony's, but Tony's ballhandling ability and court penetration is better, making him a more steady playmaker or pace controller than Manu. Since the Spurs system doesn't require the PG spot to be the ultimate source of playmaking ability, Tony's perfect within our system, so is Manu. They're complimenting each other.

[Scola Trade]

WTF is this thread about?
Better PG: Parker
Better SG: Manu
PERIOD

[SRJ]

Hey, remember that the thread starter was Spurs Dynasty 21; Let's all be grateful it wasn't another thread about trading a certain Argentine forward.

Good job! :tu
