TP just looked a little listless. That was to be expected against a team like the Wolves that they have played 4 times already.
TP played ok. He dished the ball well and didn't force too much. It helps when guys hit a ton of shots obviously, but TP played ok.
His energy was decent, but could have been better and he really wasn't looking for his shot too much. When he did, it wasn't good. He is in a bit of a funk shooting wise and really needs to pull out of it.
Neither. Took what was given to him.
I'd say no...
dude shot 1-5 last time i checked, so thankful that he didn't take too many shots
spurs just played the wolves
it could have been the game plan to confuse the wolves
tp has gone off on the wolves before
late in the 4 tp scored and they thought he was going to pass
worked
also if you are not 100% healthy
it is better to pass then shot
it takes lesss energy
if you are tired your shots will not fall
ask manu
He obviously wants to be traded.
maybe Pop told him to pass more?
Or maybe Pop wants him to score more made a nasty remark about Parker's passing abilities?
hmm
He misses Cricket, I mean Eva.... His shot was not falling tonight.
pretty much he played during the fourth to seal the deal it's an ok game for him IMO it deserves a B or C+ in timvp's gradesQuote:

That, and he obviously wants to be traded to the Knicks.
Maybe nothing of the sort happened.Quote:

the moon wanes and waxes, trigga just played a relatively poor game. ain't no sign he wants to be traded imho. niggas must be trolling now to say he wants to leave and purposely shot bad
You forgot Kevin Martin.Quote:

I don't think there was any message. His shot wasn't falling and he's still a little out of it from being sick, so he was looking to pass more and fortunately, the people he was passing to hit their shots.
*shrug*
milk mustard!!!!!!!! CROFL!!!!!!!
kori, whats up baby, when you gonna hook up my crew with some free tix? or at least a baby gallery? i can supply one babyQuote:

He played fine in those games. The Indy game, he was questionable and almost didn't play because he was sick... that was public knowledge.
I'm not sure why anyone is disappointed at Parker for passing the rock when he's not on his A game... he had the best plus/minus on the team.
cbf is boozed, pay no mind, kori
lol me
I'm just glad we are done playing the timberwolves.

If TP would hit shots instead of turning it over like Peyton Manning, Love would not get so many rebounds which leads to breaks.Quote:

On the other hand, I can see Pop calling out Parker for not shooting enough. He tells him that he's a worthless passer and that's not why he's here. So Parker starts throwin out Dimes like Mookie2001. Just to show Pop he can pass.
I can't decide which one happened.
parker is less of a scorer than he used to be. trigga used to be light fast and rip apart the opposing defense inside out, now he uses tricks & p'n'r most times pretty much like manu.

Tony is a freakin beast. If you haven't learned that by now you're blind.
funny how Kori thinks Tony doesn't have more assist because players don't hit their shots. Quick Note: Spurs are 4th in scoring offense.
Tony is a way above average scorer and ballhandler with insane quickness that he uses on defense in big games.
Easily a Top 5.
DWill
CP3
DRose
Rondo
TP

Still, Tony is not 100%. Whatever the reason may be, it's got nothing to do with sending messages. These guys have been together forever, they send their messages in Pop's office or in the gym. No reason to get out on the floor and sand bag it.
A guy plays like Parker for as many seasons as he has and because he has two or three off nights, his dedication and integrity is dragged into question?
Also, the "I would trade for" comments are funny as hell in a "retard finger painting in his own feces" sorta way. Ariza? Martin? None of the people mentioned ever did anything. Ariza is another Bonzi Wells without the bulk scoring. He parlayed a decent Finals showing into a big contract. The Lakers shit canned him for a reason.
He has the best +/- on the team, 13 assists, it was a fairly easy win, his shot was off... why would he force anything?
Would you want him to go Kobe and shoot 8/27? This would have given the Wolves a legit chance.
It's funny how when Parker goes for 30+ points he is not a "true" PG but when he goes for a 12pts/13ast night there's a problem with a lack of FGA... haters keep hating.
he just sucked shooting the ball....thats it....i dont think there is any issue with pop and him coz these guys have been togther for so many years.....but who cares we won the game....isnt that what we all want?

I really thing we should bring back quickly the blue stuff some posters don't seem to get it.
I love that stat line from Parker--12 pts and 13 assists. I could live without the 6 turnovers.
When did I say that? :wtfQuote:
