Tony Parker was great.
I will do my best to keep any criticism of TP to myself. He is no longer soiled TP. He's a nice, new roll of soft, fluffy Charmin. :)
You can't put any blame on Billups. 25 pts, 6 assists, 4 rebs, 4 steals and only one TO.Quote:

Hamilton tried to drive way too many times and forced a lot of ill-advised shots coming off the pick and rolls. That's a combo of good D and trying to do too much...
How intelligent of you. You can't bring any real arguments to the table so you must resort to sarcastic remarks. :rolleyesQuote:

But on the topic of this thread, you got to love Tony. He was one of about 12 Spurs who were absolutely craptacular in the first quarter, but during the 2nd and 3rd quarter he was really the guy to crank himself up into attack mode and start getting to the basket, creating problems in the paint. That got the crowd into it, it allowed guys like Nazr to start moving aroudn in the paint and getting offensive boards. Stat lines can hide impact, we all know that. Tony has a lot of potential he has yet to realize I think.
Word. This will be one of the minor adjustments for G2.Quote:

Let me ask you this, would you still be a Spurs Fan if Tony Parker was traded?Quote:

He was in the lane either time for barely over a second. Nice try but like I said your full of shit.Quote:

Yes, I would. Because I am also a big fan of Tim Duncan, Manu, and Bruce Bowen. I'd cheer for whatever team Parker played for also, however. What does this have to do with the topic anyways? As I mentioned previously, just because I am a Tony Parker fan, doesn't mean I don't see the guy's faults. Likewise, just because I like one player, doesn't mean I don't like and support the rest of the team.Quote:

Parker did not have a great game from a points perspective, but I thought he still set the tone offensively with his agressiveness, even if occasionally ill advised. I'll take that any day over an outing like he had in game four against Phoenix when he just looked flat and unmotivated.
Just had to ask.Quote:
