Frankly, if you're another team, daring Tony to beat you instead of Kawhi or LMA, it's probably a great deal... see Clippers last season...
Thats the slow version.
His D will not be as bad if he can make the opponent work. We have seen him use this on Chris Paul before. Last year he was slow and hurt us horribly on both ends.
What I'm reading from many is that he gets in a mental funk, becomes fat and slow, because he can't play anymore. What I think is happening are injuries, wear and tear. No way he is as good as before. But these 30 minutes of effective speed, we need this against the better PO teams.

Patty stepped up, he single handedly extended that series with clutch shooting... Beli was pretty good too...
Somebody couldn't take advantage of an injured CP3 though...
Don't get me wrong, I want TP to do well in a different role... I think he's done as a consistent scorer and the team just has better options. He should still be a floor leader though...

IMO that ship has sailed. Wish he would be a better playmaker, tbh... Or that his 3 ball was more consistent...

So he is faking?
Because boo boos for a 33 yo PG who relies on speed and acceleration is very difficult. This is not a Nash nor a Jason Kidd type point.

Defense matters. Considering playing time Rubio drops to 7th, Mills to 17th, Parker to 23rd.
I'm in the both Parker and Mills camp. The only team whose second best PG has played better than Parker is Boston, with Thomas and Smart. Teague, worse than Parker, makes the Hawks the 3rd team with two PGs in the top 30.

Re: Last night's game from Parker was an example of how he needs to be that 3rd score
For all the shit Parker gets, he's been good for a long time. So long, he's been a member of two different Big 3s, first with Duncan/Manu, now with Leonard/Aldridge.

Most 25 point games by a Spur since 2011:
Parker - 50
Leonard - 23 (including last night's)
Duncan - 21
The notable thing about all of this is that Tony has had a lot of big scoring nights. Last night he had 9 assists in the first half and did most of his scoring in the second half, ending with 12 assists.
Tony was rested last night. It showed.
He has been playing like he was in molasses.
Virtually everyone on here has said how much he needs to rest. It looks to me like he could use more rest more frequently, like is done for Tim and Manu. That may be why Miller is here.
This year he is playing third offensive threat behind Kawhi and LaMarcus. Less pressure on him to do all the scoring, but after he gets those guys going and the defense hones in on them, then the floor is opened up for guys like Parker and others.
He had a great game last night. Anyone who wants to diminish his contribution last night by focusing on what he has or hasn't done some other time, or what the offense against him did last night, is betraying a player-hatred agenda that is beneath a team fan. Overt or passive-aggressive, it's still hate.
wow a sensible objective well thought out post, EVAY you do realize that you are posting on the ST forum?

I'm with you, Manu is the heart of this team and I like him way more than tp on intangibles alone...
You think he'll go out with Duncan? No chance he stays without him, but if Timmy goes one more, you think batman will stay?

Would not take over Tony now: Rubio, Kemba, Reggie, Rondo, and possibly Beverly.

I think he's going season to season... As long as the Spurs keep calling and he's not hurt, I suspect he'll stick around.
He's been a top 5 Spurs this season, which is pretty amazing considering we're talking by far the 2nd best team in the league...

Re: Last night's game from Parker was an example of how he needs to be that 3rd score
The thing about TP is like... if he isn't a big factor in the game, he seems to emotionally remove himself. Similar to a child. Last night, the main difference I saw, was that he actually felt like trying hard. Something that's never absent from TD or Manu, even when they're playing like shit.

Re: Last night's game from Parker was an example of how he needs to be that 3rd score
What I wish was absent from Manu is himself late in the 4th

What a bunch of crap. I have yet to see all these imagined psychological faults that the remaining dregs (Apa/Harlem have moved on) of the dumbshit crew conjure for Tony in their own minds. Get over it guys. He was an athletic speedster, in a league with some of the fastest people on the planet. Until 2014 or so, Parker literally ran faster and harder, for longer, than any rotation player in the NBA (SportsVU confirmed).
I personally work with a trainer and physical therapist (a legit on that helps serve the Rockets) and am in my mid-30's. Little injuries pop up often and take time to go away at this age. I can't even imagine what a professional athlete goes through regimen-wise to stay in game shape.

Dabom with the meltdown. These guys would rather the Spurs lose in the finals if it meant Tony playing at a high level
