On the ESPN telecast last night it was pointed out that TP leads the league in points scored in the paint, while Duncan was 4th. That seems phenomenal. When was the last time a guard led the league in that for a season?

Aller tony aller premier dans la peinture.
I would reckon that Iverson with his attacking style, has been close a few times but it is pretty remarkable if it happens.
if it continues.....dare we say
mvParker?
Parker and Tim/Rasho play well together with them setting screens and sealing off the other teams bigs and Tony finishing strong inside.
TP always falls off by the end of the season and fades in the playoffs....i wouldnt get too hyped up about it....but Timmy is starting to find his rythem and manu is still the freaking man
tp was more consitant this year then last year
and manu and duncan both struggled in the playoff games this year also
tp really only had a 2 bad games and duncan and manu did to..............
Batman - what a way to be positive. You don't think Tony has improved greatly and could continue this play throughout the season?
BTW - I find the picture on your post extremely offensive.
I'm still undecided. I quess I will be forced to study the picture longer, to see if the answer pops up. :smokinQuote:

How dare you take advantage of a lizard in that way? "Lizards 4 Freedom" will be all over this.
Tony is tha man. I hope he keeps it up. Some teams will be smart, especially the playoffs, they will clog the lane. Tony has all season long to try and get that jumper going more consistantly in time for the playoffs.
shaq and amare, 2 players who get 80% of their points in the paint have been injured for most if not all of this entire season. and like the other poster said, parker usually fades come playoff time although he has looked good so far
and yet again a typical post of the "bad-asses against Parker attitude"...Quote:

reply from the "bad-asses against Parker attitude" group :
but dont forget that he has done that and that one year ago, 2 years ago, etc, etc, etc....
"parker ususally fades off in the finals" ?
oh yeah, sure, only for the bad asses just able to watch the last 1 or 2/3 games of the finals... Eh guys, wake up, playoffs count more than twenty games....
I am fucking tired of this bullshit ! Watch the games or S..T...F...U
Xap'
Yo again,
some might say i kind of over-reacted...
yeah...
But Parker is really playing great since now almost twenty games, with a great "consistency", scoring or passing when needed ( cool, Ginobili is back on the team....) and...
and they are always plenties of idiots out there unable to realise all he has been doing as a spurs and his FANTASTIC evolution during the past four years.
:pctoss
:lol Makes all those 7' footers with their cheap-ass putbacks look silly, doesn't he? :lolQuote:

Tony is Baby Shaq. Unstoppable in the paint and can't hit a free throw to save his life.
Nobody is saying that Parker sucks. But there is some truth to the talk about Parker fading in the playoffs. The numbers over the past few years back that up.Quote:

It's more difficult for Parker to score in the paint in the playoffs in part because defenses collapse.
Props to Parker for playing great basketball, but I don't expect that he'll be able to do the same in the playoffs. His skills make him a better regular season player. And Parker hasn't necessarily been bad in the playoffs, but he really hasn't been as good as he's been during the regular season.
And I'm O.K. with that, because Parker still seems to get the job done most of the time.
Comment oser vous parle de notre Tony d'homme comme cela ! :kingQuote:

Thank you Spurs Woman - I made that change and now everything is good!
You're welcome :)
Fades in the playoff... Some of you are either blind or openly unfair towards some players, especially foreign born and, dare I say, Parker.
He sure faded three years ago during the finals but was rather good before. He improved the following year before being torn apart by the lakers and very kind referees (no blood, no foul). He was, in my opinion, really good but in two games last year. Manu and Tim had more off games than Tony during the playoff last year (even though we tend to be very demanding toward Tim :o).
Just for the record, in career (playoff): 16.2 points, 4.4 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 35.8 minutes !!!
He was over 18 points last year if I remember well. It's over his season average and can't hardly qualified of "fade".
Cheers.
What the hell does being foreign-born have to do with anything?Quote:

The point is that he's not as good offensively in the playoffs because teams take away his first option much of the time. It's absolutely true that the team's playoff opponents over the past years have typically collapsed on Parker in the playoffs. As a general rule of thumb, defenses are better in the playoffs, the game is more physical, and there are more quality big men around. Watch some playoff games. Parker has a harder time getting into the paint, and he's not as effective when his number one weapon is partially taken away.Quote:

It doesn't mean that Parker's been bad in the playoffs (although he has been at time), it's just that he's a better regular season player.
He scores more points in the playoffs, but his numbers in just about every other category drop. And more importantly, his field goal percentage drops significantly. That's because there aren't as many easy opportunities in the paint for him. If you're talking about statistics alone, it's clear that Parker is a better regular season player. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.Quote:
