Good things happen when you're carried by a HOF big man and a HOF SG, tbh. Can you imagine if we had an actual PG next to Timmy? Fucking 8 rings imo.Quote:

Now I am curious who is a shutdown pg that handles the other teams pg? Chris Paul gets some props for defense but I wouldn't consider him shut down.
it depends Rob some guys that look better stat wise just aren't clutch, it's the old Manning Brady argument or what basketball fans would say about the Blazers, Kings and Mavericks in their hay days. Good regular season teams but when the playoffs come they go. CP3 by all metrics is a better pg but I am not sure the team would be as good had we had him instead of Tony. A lot of these gifted pgs don't have the right mentality to be Spurs. As much as I respect and admire Westbrooks athleticism and fire there is an arrogance about him that I can't imagine would ever work on the Spurs. Brains, heart and humility are a bigger part of being a successful Spur than otherworldly athleticism.Quote:

coach just trying to engage a fellow poster on a rational level, I don't care for the personal attacks stuff. Not trying to change minds just trying to see what the other side is thinking. Since mostly we are all Spurs fans here and I would hope that Spurs championships are more important that unimportant message board positions.
Holy shit, SpursDynasty straight eviscerating Parker "haters."
Although, it was great to see Tony have a vintage performance, I do agree with his detractors that he needs to bring this level of play more often, against better competition and most importantly in the playoffs. If last post season Tony Parker shows up at all come April then the team is completely fucked, IMHO.
Oh you made great points! I just find it hilarious when people hate not future HOFer just to troll or be an ass!!Quote:

Funny part is they always look at his 12ppg to criticize him, even though they spent a whole year complaining how they wanted him to stop being a heroballer :lmaoQuote:

Ever heard of Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook, Lilliard, etc. Sure they can pass, but that isn't all they are supposed to do. That's waaaay old school.Quote:

It is possible that 'what is wrong with that', is that passing the ball all the time is NOT what the man's COACH has specifically asked him to do.Quote:

Pop actually used the names of two pgs to illustrate his point. The first (all assists) was Steve Nash. I can't remember who the all scorer was, but the point was that he wants Tony to be a scorer as well. Pop used to sarcastically say to Parker "Are you ever gonna shoot the ball tonight?" Pop seems to want his players to play to their strengths. TP has Kawhi and LaMarcus ahead of him now as scorers, but those are both relatively late developments in TP's career. When he was first here Tim did all the scoring, then when Tim went down TP was asked to do more. Now he is asked to do both.
So if he hands out 12 assists and scores at about a 60% rate, I'd suppose that he is doing what his coach asked him to do. And since Pop pretty much said exactly that at the presser after the game, (he was great for us - he played a complete game) I'm kinda convinced that TP cares more about what his coach wants than what a poster on ST wants.
Tony is hit and miss with his scoring these days. It's his defense that bothers me. He's a gotdamn liability out there. From Austin Rivers to deion waiters to etwan fucking Moore. Everyone rapes this piece of shit.
