Kevin hart tweeting about the nba...come on, man!
kevin who?
if true TP is about to get his ass ripped by Pop imo
LMAO, everybody there who's been giving opinions seem to be Heat "fans"
Dumb ass
If that is true Hill should have learned how to dribble out of a double team or pass out of a double team first.
Why is this an issue? They are friends, used to play together, and I'd venture to say that Hill probably views Tony as a mentor who helped craft his game.
Doesn't Duncan text Hibbert after like every game?
Getting advice from a mentor/former mentor in a big series isn't out of the ordinary at all. Good for Hill for seeking all the help he can, and good for Parker for helping an old teammate. And if it gives the Spurs a shot at the Pacers in the finals, all the better.
Tony running his mouth, what else is new? :lol
Well, Duncan is doing the exact same thing with Hibbert...
If the pacers make it to the Finals will he tweet Hill on how to beat SA?
Probably not.Quote:

Hope Tony didn't actually publicly reveal this info. Makes him look silly in so many ways.
Can't wait for Spurs haters to say Tony is helping Hill bc the Spurs are scared of Heat :rolleyes
Wild theory?Quote:

again, I am not ready to believe this storry. But if it turns out Tony admitted to texting Hill about the Heat series, he is one stupid motherfucker.
wow these Manufanboys and Tonyfanboys are pathetic
Can we see a direct quote from Parker about what he said. It's very easy to misconstrue his words to that tweet.
My preference is for us to play and BEAT Miami. I want us to beat the defending champion and watch Lebron and company suffer defeat in Texas again. Indiana? Meh...they are playing their championship right now. They might pull off a stunner. Way tooo many people with their lips locked around Miami's junk, imo. They are good, not great. It's hard to repeat as champions...as we all know too well.
Then, with all due respect, you're crazy.Quote:

Confirmed. Thanks TP. Only makes me appreciate Duncan's media aloofness that much more.
no. but admitting publicly you are giving tips to beat the Champs to a potential opponent is.Quote:

Parker and Hill are friends, they are talking to each others and exchanging advices/tips. There is nothing malicious or extraordinary with it.
Doesn't seem like a big deal to me...
so he's like, hey george drive the ball left.
Who fucking cares
Me either :lolQuote:

plus, when did Parker ever beat the Heat? :lmao :lol
Dude it's a fact that Pop was talking to Larry Brown during the 2004 Finals about strategies to use against the Lakers. Who gives a fuck. I'm sure friends in the NBA do this shit all the time.

here are some reaction tweets

Team LeBron™ @TeamLeBron_ 1h
WOWWW!!!! RT @MySportsLegion: Tony Parker says he's been exchanging text messages with George Hill on tips/pointers on how to beat the Heat.
Quan Lamont Stevens @Th3yCallMeQ 4m
Tony Parker don't wanna play the heat lmao
Michael Knight @Danny_Montes 8m
I had a little respect for Tony Parker but all that shit just went down the drain
Travis @TrabDiggidy 10m
If Tony Parker really is texting George Hill on how to beat the Heat, that tells me that Parker is afraid that they can't beat the Heat.
Lamon Gregory Jr. @Lamon_G 12m
How Tony Parker gone give tips on how to beat the Heat when the Heat beat they starters without Wade and James
“@MySportsLegion: Tony Parker says he's been texting George Hill and gave him tips on how to beat the Heat.” Parker went 0-2 this year lol
So would I. Pop can figure out to beat a one-man team. Indiana, on the other hand, poses more problems for us. David West has always destroyed us, but Kawhi can't guard both West and Paul George.Quote:

The problem isn't Tony texting Hill about how to beat the Heat, the problem is him admitting it. You just don't do that when you're on the other side of the bracket waiting for the winner of that series.
Is not THAT big of a deal but it's something better worth avoiding.
nothing wrong with him doing it in secret. But publicly admitting it opens the doors for fuel to the Champs(they don't want to face us, let's prove him wrong), ridicule from public, hate from Stern and his minions, and all around making Spurs look bad.Quote:

Best case, this story goes away by the end of today.
You can bet your ass that they're going to use this one way or another to cheer themselves up in the locker room, it will either be: "Let's beat this guy that wanted out of the finals" or "We can't lose to this guy that is afraid of us" or most likely both.Quote:

tony should just keep quiet. yeah it's not a big deal but why even bother saying some shit like that? just some dumb shit for espn or geeks on twitter to make into some big thing. it's just unnecessary and silly.
Let's prove Parker wrong that he shouldn't has been scared of facing Miami?Quote:

Do you think it's locker room material for Miami that would bring extra motivation to them?
:lol Gonna be a long ass week
I guess nobody cares that LeBron's been getting tips from CP3 on how to defend tbh:

I realize this has nothing to do with the thread, but I saw that you're currently viewing it and since you didn't respond when I PM'ed you a bunch of days ago, I'm posting it here: I'm having constant log in/log out issues again.Quote:

That's just so weird to think that it could fueled Miami. It you want to see more than just two friends talking, it's Parker being scared of the Heat. How the hell, you can logically go from that to Parker being disrespectful to Miami is just weird.
Bruno you are way overthinking this.
It's very simple. Parker's comments admit that he wants the Heat to fail. Whatever the reason. For his friend, brother, girlfriend whatever. that is irrelevant. Parker wants the Heat to FAIL and is trying to help that cause.
The Heat will take it as this guy wants us to fail, on top of it we probably will face this guy in the Finals.
very simple. :rolleyes
Parker helping one of his good friends? That's blasphemy.
No one on the Heat should or will care at all.
You don't get it dude. Heat won't overanalyze it one bit, they would be like "Did you see what Tony Parker did?" "Yeah, don't matter we would beat his ass when time comes" or "Yeah, faggot is scared to face us", either way it works as bulletin board material in the locker room.Quote:

Tony gets 2 national interviews, finally getting a little respect due to that fact he's ballin so hard he can't be ignored... and he's an attention whore now? :lol
I'm sure that Duncan or Ginobili wants the Heat to succeed and win it all this year...Quote:

I imagine a lot of Heat players either give or get counsel all the time.
That being said, maybe Parker's going CIA Tony on the Heat, giving them something else to think about when gameplanning against him. The chest match between the teams over getting Parker open may well decide the series, and if Parker can get into Miami's heads before they've even clinched the Finals, that only goes to help the Spurs win the mental game.
I can already see some columnist with the headline, "Two teams conspiring against the Heat."
Since when does texting a friend, who is like a brother, mean that he is afraid of the Heat? I dont get how all the haters are all over Tony?
What was HIS EXACT quote btw?????
Now you're being intentionally obtuse. Imagine this situation in the locker room, you hugged to all your teammates and the leader of the team saying:Quote:

Or something like that :lol That would be a pretty damn good motivational speech, imho.
I wish we were talking about a series review or preview instead of this nonsense.
Sigh... this is really going to be a long wait. People making mountains out of molehills.
Exactly.Quote:

This. No NBA team should need "bulletin board material" at this point in the playoffs...Quote:

Yet he let them tie the series? Obviously Lebron getting worked up didnt affect the series all that much. Otherwise he woulda swept them.Quote:

No, this isn't Parker admitting he doesn't want to face the Heat in the Finals, it's just him helping his friend. I seriously doubt Parker fears that amazing duo of PGs the heat have, Chalmers and Cole. I mean, those defensive gurus must really keep Tony up at night! Or the old men SGs who may rotate over (Battier and Allen), or the broke-knee having D Wade who Parker probably gets mad at his gf for waking him up when he's dreaming about breaking his ankles over and over again.
George Hill on the other hand is a very good defender. If Parker doesn't want to face anyone, it's Hill. :lol Parker dreams of getting to go off on Chalmers and Cole. They will be the weakest defenders he's faced all postseason.
Y'all need to stop being so dickless and scared. Heat aren't going to be any more jacked up to beat us because Parker texted Hill some advice than they will be to win a championship. The angrier the Heat players get, the more likely they'll fuck up. Basketball is a finesse sport, not a power sport. Anger isn't going to do them much good.
That is literally the only beef I have with Tony giving him advice. The rest of it is scared overreaction from dickless Spurfans who need to regrow their balls and stop fearing the Heat hype machine. Some of the guys here act so damn embarrassing, fearing every good team and comment like it's going to make them play way better. :\Quote:

It's one thing to give advice, it's another to apply it and be effective with it. Non-story, tbh.
And what have they done after that "slight". Lucky to have a tie series.Quote:

:lol at these potato couches who think things like this don't affect players
these are the same players who won't change underwear for duration of series, or other ridiculous shit like that
Is Lebron shitting all over Indiana? nope didn't think so.Quote:

what inside info could Tony possibly have that the Pacers coaching staff don't. The Pacers and Hill have won more games over the Heat than Parker in the last 3 years :lol
and if he's divulging inside info that Spurs coaches are telling the players, even more stupid
LOL Tony
Haters and other teams ganging up on Miami?..:lol NBA
Just helping Hill with his own play, and prolly telling him what he would do if he was in his shoes... at least from what he can see on TV... Non story. Relax.
