That puts Mills on the bench as well.
Corey?
Paging Corey "handles" Joseph

Re: It's ok to hate Tony Parker
Tony has always been a diva, and never played through injury well. One of the softest players in the nba.
But seriously stfu, there's 1000000 other threads on this shit.

Re: It's ok to hate Tony Parker
I dont hate him, but I dont want him to drag the team down, he cant even follow CP3´s shadow and that will cost us games.

At least with Mills you hope there's going to be some scoring at the other end... I just don't trust that Tony's J...

Why did people find it so easy to hate on guys like RJ, Blair, Bonner then? They were Spurs players too. '15 Enrique is just as bad if not worse than those guys. Bottom line is I like seeing my Spurs win and he's fucking that up, so if anything I'm the ultimate team fan.

I hope he gets well soon, and he at least can give us some productive minutes at home.
this. the spurs have shown they can adjust to life without TP. if he's struggling, there's no need to drag us down with him.

Spurs need to buyout his contract before it starts.:lol

It be gone.
No doubt.
I need handles out there. It's a really tough spot we are in.
Parker can't defend, but I don't have to gasp immediately when a defender engages him.

If he does so, the same crew will accuse him as being pussy.
Those guys don't need a logical reason to hate him, they're just haters. They will hate Parker even he would score 30 pts and dishes 10 assists.

Re: It's ok to hate Tony Parker
Tony Parker is anything but soft. Have you seen the way that guy plays? He gets the living shit beat out of him on every play because he'll fearlessly attack a guy 70lbs heavier and 5 inches taller than him. He clearly doesn't have his legs and can't beat his man off the dribble like he's been able to in the past. Something is definitely wrong and he can't produce.

You think we can go to the Finals without him?
I don't.

And that's why you're a player fan and I'm the ultimate team fan. The only player that deserves that treatment is Timothy Duncan.

this. i always found it stupid to blame someone like Bonner when the "head of the snake" is unreliable, bangs teammates wives, seems inherently selfish etc...
Regardless, thank God for Patty. You couldn't ask for a better teammate or backup PG.

Quite frankly you are the ultimate fuck wad.

Neither do I.
But imo, no way we get a championship without him.
I would be most happy to be absolutely wrong.

Sure thing.
So who was running the point against Dallas?
And who plays point now and takes us to the finals?

Who was running point when the Spurs closed out Portland and OKC? Who was running point when the Spurs broke open the Finals? I get your point, but I also feel it's been debunked as well. An injured Parker isn't better than Mills or Joseph. That's the only thing that matters to this discussion.

This is what's puzzling about the whole thing: Pop could've easily put him on Barnes early and let Danny guard CP3, but he didn't.
Which leads me to believe that Tony just didn't tell Pop he was hurting as much as he was.
There are players you can hide Tony on in this series.

Don't wanna pile on, but he was actually pretty darn bad against Dallas until Game 7, especially defensively. I mean, if he's at the top of his game, that series probably doesn't go 7 games.
But that's the thing, if he's hurt, speak up, don't try to warrior it. I understand if he tried to warrior it when he was 25, but at this stage, it's clear that him playing hurt really affects his game.
