If you leave it out there for the team that pays you, I don't see anything wrong with it. I understand Ginobili's love and passion for his national team. Then again, playing basketball for consecutive seasons without taking a break will break down anyone's body in no time. That's what's going on with him right now.Quote:

Screw it. Just trade him to Portland and see what we can get. Joking.
TBH, sitting Parker wouldn't hurt this team..we can still beat the average/bad teams without him, and we aren't able to beat the good teams either way..we might lose a couple of games that we would have won with him, but it's worth the sacrifice if we can get a rested up Parker back..the Tony Parker that is currently playing is arguably a liability to this team..
the rest of the December schedule is pretty light too..
He took the entire summer of 2007 off, and still got injured. Sometimes injuries just happen. Deal with it.Quote:

He's a shell of what he once was, deal with it. He can be great in spurts but there's no way we should rely on him all the time.Quote:

:lol at this thread. Are you serious? Do you seriously think Hill is a better man for his position? :lmao Parker is the best we have, he still leads this team, last season he lead the time all by himself. Now, he took a step back, he has taken another role, he wants to involve teammates more, distributing. He is getting used to that, its a transition. And he is not recovered 100%.
I dont get you TP haters, how can you make such hateful statements and threads every time after TP had not such a great game. You probably have something against the guy. And when he is performing wonderful, everyone is quiet.
Yeah he needs to get healthy 100%, but he is aware of that, besides, without Parker we are doomed. You can say that he should rest 2 weeks or so, and yeah, he probably should. But, will that be any positive for the Spurs, playing without Parker? I dont think we can afford let's say 2 weeks without him.
Really, it amazes me every single time when I see how ignorant and stupid some Spurs fans are.
No TP is right that he has to play. He was supposed to be our number 1 offensive option this season so we can't really not have that kind of production with him sitting out. TP is forced or forcing himself to play and he is probably the one that put himself in this situation by playing all summer.Quote:

good thread :tu
Tony Turnover-Longoria
that's funny. keep up the good work.
really, Parker deserves better than that. I don't really like Parker (as a person) but this is way too much.
When you're a spurs fan, you don't bash a legend who has contributed heavily to 3 NBA titles. Despite being French, the guy has earned the right to be respected.
Criticize him as much as you want but at least show him some respect
Right. That's why we brought Jefferson in...Quote:

I think pop should try it, bring him off the bench, let him score all over the opponent's second unit, It might actually work like it worked for Manu.
The Level of TP hating is ridiculous!! Youre blaming on a guy who is putting all his effort to play everynight despite being obviously injured. He didnt lose a step and played horrible defense juste like that. The fact that he was good enough Against crappy teams just hide how much hes really hurt, playing against good teams just exposed his injury.
Im not a huge TP fan but I admit that hes deserved much respect for all he has brought to the Spurs.
TP is a big competitor and as hes stated before he had been hiding the seriousness of his injury before. I wont be shocked if it was bullshit when hé said that he was nearly 100% cuz hes obviously not. His will to play every nights dont deserve that much bashing from Spurs fans. He may not be objective enough to see that he needs more rest and that he may hurt the team right now.
You just cant hate a guy that keeps trying and wants to play. The only one to blame should be Pop cuz he must know how healthy TP really is and hes the only authority figure that can sit Tonys ass on the bench for 2 weeks.
God I hope this is sarcasm.Quote:

Tony will be fine.
He was talking about Ginobili, not Parker...Quote:
