Tony wanting to pass more?

yowza, if they increase by 3 or 4 more a game, he'd be avg'ing about 9 or 10, that would be awesome. But, only awesome if the team is winning.

I think he is the doing the same thing than with the FNT

He try to pass a lot in the beginning of the game to give confidence to the other player and then he play like he always played. And with this he has more gaz at the end of the game

He confirmed it in an interview he was doing that for the FNT

If you look at the last 2 games :

vs Kings :
1st half : 8 assists and 8 pts
2nd half : 3 assists and 10 pts

vs Bobcats :
1st half : 7 assists and 2 pts
2nd half : 3 assists and 7 pts

I agree with that. If you watched TP last year, when he was playing phenomenal, he had not learned how to pace himself. He would often run out of gas late in the game. That happens often to players who make the jump from good, to clear cut offensive leader.

I would like to see him learn to pace himself for the long, up and down games. It will bode well for him and the Spurs in the fourth quarters.

Tony running the show in the background, like a master puppeteer.
