Parker finishes the season #2 behind Curry among all guards in FG%

Best PG in franchise history. We're going to miss him when he's gone and we're forced to see Patty Mills or Cory Joseph like players lead this team.

Stats didn't work...just trying to appeal on every level. All stars are generally the best players in the league. An exception or two each year, but mostly accurate.

Deflecting

Look where Parker finished in PER, RPM and DRPM. Yikes

Like Tony Parker or not, every true Spurs fan here knows if we have are going to have any shot to win the title TP is going to need to play like he did in the first half of the season.... I hope he's been coasting and flips the switch over the next few weeks...

Andre Miller is shooting better by a MILE:wakeup

You're not a top 100 poster. Some STFU is in order; has been.

LOL at All Star. You mean, like Kobe?

Still, if we want to win this, we need Parker to keep on contributing as the role player he now is. So let's hope he doesn't piss the bed these playoffs or sabotages the team during what's likely to be the last year of two of the most unselfish, intelligent and talented players to ever play this game.

Shit, I miss him already and he's still on the team. That's how ordinary he's been. What makes you think TP will be back-filled with a reserve caliber player? Mike Conley would make a nice replacement.

yep

I've always liked MConley. We would sure as hell get a 3peat with him as our starting PG.

Shows how stats can be misleading. Everyone knows Parker has been playing like crap the last half of the season, but was playing great the first half. You can have 100% field goal percentage if you go 2-2 and have 4 points for the game.

That being said, we need Parker to step up in Playoffs. We all know he can do it. The question is...will he?

He may not be a starting caliber PG anymore, but to suggest he isn't still capable of being a rotation player on nearly every team is moronic. He still can have flashbacks of his former self they are just a lot more infrequent these days.

Mike Conley is undersized and is already beginning to show signs of decline, yet he is only in his late 20's and hasn't piled up nearly the amount of mileage Parker has. The Spurs need to find a solid prospect in the next two years that Tony can mentor while he (Parker) is coming off the bench.

For now, I just want him to be smart with the ball, compete on defense and score at a rate/efficiency level of November, December and January. I don't think he has enough left in the tank to accomplish all three, unfortunately.

This isn't a rebuilding team. If you can get him, you get the talent.

No one said anything about rebuilding, but a fading Mike Conley isn't the solution to what we need at PG. We need size (which he lacks), ability to penetrate, athleticism and most importantly youth. We need to steal someone with upside from a team overloaded with PG's or find a young prospect they can bring along while Parker and Mills are still around.

Idiot, look at Mike's statline and you see it is headed progressively downward after he peaked three seasons ago. He isn't very efficient, lacks size for his position (which will be more of an issue as he ages further) and his defense is already beginning to slip (career high 2.2 SPG in '11- '12 & '12-'13 to just 1.2 SPG this year) where he isn't the ballhawk of the past. Plus, he's been hit by more and more serious injuries the last few seasons, but no let's opine for a player past his peak that would only be a stop gap and not the long term solution because that has worked out in the past (i.e. Richard Jefferson's Spurs tenure).

Could have sworn you were talking about parker.

Your little quip is cute, but Parker has had more than a few high caliber seasons under his belt, while Mike peaked in his mid 20's and is now fading. Parker peaked probably in '08 or '10 but was still capable of playing at or near an elite level for three more season. Unfortunately, mileage, injuries with added wear & tear has robbed him of a lot of what made him great. Doesn't mean he can't still play and contribute. He just needs a younger guy in front of him learning, playing and soaking up the heavier minutes can't play anymore. Much like Manu has transitioned into doing the last 6 or 7 years.
