if we had westbrook instead of parker we'd be unstoppable.

I don't know we don't run high PnR with Kawhi LMA.

In fairness to TP, he's running what Pop wants. Maybe it's a bit too predictable.

So he did have the ball after he hit those 2 shots.... I don't get why this site has all this animosity towards it's own players, it's just ridiculous. If you actually look at what happened, you'll see it's not as bad as you're making it in your head.

Animosity? Take it in facts. Kawhi made two shots. Then in the next 5 possessions (Parker miss- LMA miss-Duncan miss- Aldridge miss-Parker make) he didn't shot the ball.

In one play he passed to Parker, ok. But what happened in the rest of the 4th quarter.

It's normal that one of your main scorers doesn't shot the ball in that many possessions when he was the only of ttose players shooting over .50 FG?

Tony Tissot needs to stop being jealous of his own teammates and start passing the ball. No one else's fault but his.

Because it's Kawhi's team now. We run plays for him and Aldridge. The problem is they pass it back to Parker because they can't create as well. Parker needs to be more ready in those situations to get it back.

Parker has been solid fuck you fake fans

pick n pop was money the first two games...what's the deal?

Hey glad to see you back. I couldn't find you after game 3 or 4 for some reason. Not sure if it had to do with Parker having really good games. Probably not.

And our FG% would only drop about 10% as a team.

Of course. Also, why just yell?

He should hit Parker in the stomach and take the ball, right?

---

Yeah I'm sure they did/tried to do what was planned. The plan needs to be to get the guy the ball that gives them the best chance to score. In game 5 and in most situations, that's Kawhi.

Parker is not to be blamed for this series if they lose. That's pretty much all on the bench. Duncan's age and health has limited him tremendously, Diaw hasn't made a impact, West's defense hasn't improved and his mid range shot had disappeared, Patty has been invisible, and the rest haven't even got on the court.

Rique gonna Rique tbh

Maybe not you with the animosity, but this forum in general....

But without going to each of those sequences, how do we know Parker is explicitly passing them the ball? I saw several possessions where OKC deserves some credit for their ball denial on Kawhi. He couldn't get free on several occasions.

Just the whole "blame Parker" narrative is a bit annoying and many times way off base. I'll try and watch each sequence that happened in the 4th to see just why Kawhi didn't get the ball. I would bet however he did have the ball and passed cause he didn't want to force anything

He's the POINT GUARD. Doesn't matter if the other players don't look for Kawhi, it's Parker who should do it.

And keep him going, make plays for him, put him in good situations to score.

I've said before that Kawhi doesn't want to force things and he's wrong. After all if he misses the shot is part of a learning process.

Take a bad shot, next time he should know how to turn it in a good shot.

Said this like two years ago. :lol

Spurs are good when they share the ball...better ball movement and get everyone involved......

The only thing that's unstoppable about Westbrook is his FGAs.

Not sure if you're understanding, but I'm exaggerating a little. But in reality Westbrook is shooting 36% on high volume.

Neither, all he and Aldridge have to do is not pass it right back to Parker when they get it down the stretch. It's not that difficult actually.

In one play he asked TP to bail him out with 3 sec left on the shot clock... that's a bit different from he passed to Parker. At least Parker did not hide the whole fourth quarter like most of the dudes out there.

If kawhi wants the ball and says fuck you to Pop (I hope you don't believe that Parker made plays without his ok tbh), he can do that. this is his team, he doesn't need to yell at Parker or hit him in the stomach but just bring the fucking ball up and do the business. nobody would have said a word about that.

Manu used to do exactly that... when he was feeling it, he was taking the ball and was doing his stuff and btw in those cases everybody was getting out of his way including Parker.
