Parker Ran the Show Beautifully Tonight

Last night the Spurs abused the pick n roll and Parker showed he was elite at running that, be it with LMA or Duncan. If Pop keeps on calling that kind of plays, and OKC keeps letting the big man wide open for a shot, Parker will keep getting a lot of assists.

All in all it shows that most of what happens on the court starts with Pop and his strategy. When asked to pass, Parker can certainly do it. That's also why I'm wary of comparing Spurs players with players on other teams, because Spurs players benefit from the system, but they are also limited by it (especially the top players of course).

He gets to hide on Roberson too. Perfect for him.

No doubt! He was making it happen. I've always counted 'assists' as 'points' in my mind. Great game TP!

He sacrifices a lot for the team. I'm always amazed how under appreciated he is on ST.

Well said. He is headed for the HOF. Really loved his game last night!

Should have passed the ball last year. tbh.

you mean spurs win when parker actually plays point guard?

"He did well"

And this is exactly why they need to pick up a younger one at some point. Someone a little tougher on D. Not that Tony did bad. But gotta plan for the future and GSW in the coming years. Nice thing is that they don't need a superstar. Just someone that can play solid D and make some passes.
