What did Rondo do against the Hawks last season in the playoffs? His team could have lost that series if Atlanta had home court. It's not the playoffs, but you're reaching a bit TDMVPDPOY.Quote:

He's making it an argument with his performance of late. I think CP3 is better because he has better D and rebounding, but I would say TP and Williams are tied for second.
Um..no. Has nothing to do with being a homer. I've been a hard critic on Parker. But the truth is, he's the best leader at the PG position in the league, IMO. Notice..I said In my OPINION! I guess Laker fan hasn't figured out that just because they believe something it doesn't make it fact. When we're on a scoring drought, it's Tony driving to the hoop making things happen. He's our leader, and there's not another damn PG in the league I'd take over him..but like said..that's my opinion.Quote:

He just can't.
Chris Paul can't score as easily as Tony can, but he is a better playmaker. However, that gap in playmaking ability has definitely narrowed as we now see Parker getting 10, 10 , 12 assist nights.
nothing has changed for me 1 CP3 2 TP and 3 DW
Seriously I think if you asked Phil Jackson who he'd take at PG between the 3 Parker would be high up on that list. He's had to really center his defense to account for TP a lot of times because of his penetration. Parker just needs to hit that jumper.Quote:

Tony Parker MVP!!!
30 and 10 followed by 42 and 10? Not many PGs can do that...that's straight boss.
But only because Spanoulis plays in Greece :lol
Winning wall.

I think the only question is whether Tony is the best pg or the second best (and that would be alone second best) because DeRon Williams as good as he is clearly is not as good as Tony Parker. It seems hard to dispute that.
And it is definitely now a very defensible position to say that Tony Parker is the best point guard in the league.
It is also defensible to say that he is second best, alone.
I don't think it is defensible or makes any sense to argue for anything less.
Obviously, my opinion.
:flag:
I haven't been able to find the stats for Points in the paint this year actually. As a team the Spurs rank very low for the season, but that would probably be more due to the fact that we rely to much on the three ball than anything Parker has to do with it.
As for the Celtics and Rondo, Utah and D.Will, and LA and .4 - I don't think there is a team in the league that wouldn't benefit by switching point guards with the Spurs, except perhaps the Hornets.
Every time I feel down I just have to read the Spanoulis-Thread to get happy immediatly :lol It's awesome!Quote:

But Deron and Tony aren't far behind, and I'm basing this on decision-making and overall impact on the game, offensively and defensively at the position.
Without Manu and with an injured Duncan Parker is playing more like a Paul or Williams type PG with the ball constantly being put in his hands. Parker is entering his prime and given a little more improvement and consistency in his jumper and Spurs using him the way Paul is used by the Hornets the biggest difference between Paul and Parker will be the FTs Paul can get from flopping.
Ranking players throughout the league is pretty pointless. CP3 and a healthy Deron Williams could be classified as better than Parker. Maybe even Billups and Nash if the setting is right.
But I'll gladly settle for having Parker on the Spurs. When he's playing at this level, he's a perfect fit with the rest of the personnel :smokin
Yes..but Spanoulis is just as good as Tony...just ask KBP..lolQuote:
