I guess if we consider playing to lose, he'd actually make them better in that regard.

You bring up assists to compliment him here:

He's been playing well lately, averaging 18 and 5 dimes on 51% over his last 4, and 12ppg on 48% over his last 10, which is more than acceptable.

Once again, like a poker player committed to a pot, we're priced in on him and just have to hope he holds up like a pair of Aces facing a draw heavy board. Patty House is not a fuckin' starter, and the rubes who back him as one need to get that through their thick skulls. Patty is also back to his 1 good game out of every 5 routine. He's just not consistent enough. He's also too short to defend like 99% of the starting PGs in the league. :tu as a backup, but that's it.

I do wish we had another option, of course. A strained ass cheek here or a tummy ache there, and Parker's game falls off a cliff. But we don't, so like last year, I'm willing to gamble. If he can give us that consistent 12-13ppg on good efficiency, while the rest play up to par, we have a puncher's chance.

But those dimes become irrelevant as soon as he has a 14:1 FGA to assist ratio. :td

That would be a nice pickup but do you think it's possible? You don't think the Blazers would want to hold on to him?

depends on how many of those 14 FGs he makes. Assists are a funny as to when they are awarded and when they aren't. There are times I swear TP sets the table for LMA to hit his shot at least 8 times but look at the box score and he only has 2 assists. If the offense is flowing, everyone is scoring and getting their shot, how many arbitrary assigned assists a player gets mean nothing to me at all. Since what is considered an assist by Russ in OKC is not considered an assist by Tony in SA.

it's great tp has shot the 3 better than he did the entire season. he won't shoot 71% forever, spoiler alert.

1.5 assists for the starting PG is just... inexcusable. it's amazing people here can just brush that off.

71% FG is a fluke but 1.5 APG isn't?

71% from 3 is definitely more of a fluke. tony only averaged 4.5 assists in the regular season...

happens in ST often, real +?- is a crap stat until it proves your point, as are assists, as are minutes as is FG %. It is the most objective metric in the world when it supports your point but a crap stat when it goes against it. Sort of like unemployment numbers in politics. The numbers suck when the other party is in power but are strangely optimistic when your party is, even when it is the exact same numbers. So if it happens in political arguments it can happen here, it is kind of intellectually dishonest but everybody does it from time to time.
