When your point guard shoots better from the floor than Yao Ming, it's ok for him to take 15 shots a game.Quote:
And please Kori for the love of God, don't drag out the famous "I want him to shoot 25 times a a game" quote from the Kings' series last year.

So yeah, I'm not going to buy that one.
Manu is averaging a career-low in most every assist related stat. Although you'd never read that on this forum.
Some Spurs fans realize that this offense is a low post oriented motion offense that won't allow any single player to rack up huge amount of assists. Other Spurs fans don't want to realize it.
Doesn't change the fact that they do, in fact, run a motion offense (which you seem not to understand how it operates at all), and that Nash would struggle to get 7 dimes here.Quote:
That's BS. The offense isn't the way it is because Pop is necessarily in love with it, it's because Pop has no choice. But by no means does Pop dislike pass first point guards. AJ averaged 7.4 assists in our first title year and that was with TWO post up players.

Tony's not as efficient as he appears because A) he doesn't get to the line enough and B) doesn't hit a lot of threes. His 1.26 PPS is only 5th on the team and right at the team's average overall.
Believe it or not but in a lineup of Elson-Duncan-Barry-Ginobili-Parker, Tony would be the guy that other teams would most like to put it up.
No I find it funny that you feel a player regresses after a couple bad games.Quote:
I wasn't trying to be funny

Compare that to James Silas' 3.8 career assist average....and Silas played in an era run and gun Spurs teams.
Many people consider him to be the best point guard the Spurs have ever had.
And you say Assist numbers should be higher? That is only part of what a point guard needs to do to be good. Just because TP's assists number aren't as high as other point guards doesn't mean he is not a good passer. Maybe he makes a pass that sets up the actual assist? That won't make it onto the stat sheet, but without that initial pass the actual assist may never be made.
I rank the point guards like this:
Tony Parker
Johnny Moore
James Silas
Johnny Dawkins
John Lucas

Yeah, they would want Fracisco Elson to shoot before Tony parker.
What the fuck are you people drinking. Good god.
well i have a color one, dont want a pinto, the double wide isn't that great, so you prob wont have any takers.Quote:

Tony averaged 7.3 dimes in December. I guess Pop must have completely overhauled the offense since then. I must have missed that Ludden article.
Since this is I team game I don't concern myself with individual averages too much....I concern myself with team averages.Quote:

check the team field goal percentage for that month as compared to others.
That's because Finley and Tony don't try to hit their shots when Manu passes it to them.Quote:

I really don't understand why you all are being so stubborn. You can check every reputable source you want, Hollinger, 82games.com, Wagesofwins, etc. You won't find one person who thinks critically and objectively about basketball that thinks Tony is having a better season this year than last.
It doesn't mean he's still not a great player. It just means he was better last season. How is that insulting? I don't get it. He went from being our best regular season player last year to 3rd best this year, that's all.
Funny, with parker is "objective" with Ginobili its "hate"
Typical :lol
You mean his second season as a full time starter? Tony's started how many years now? Five?Quote:

Well for starters....part of those three best players was hurt last year. Remember Tim had PF all year and his numbers were way down.Quote:

Also every player has fluctuations in their careers....even the very best of them.....I base it on overall play of the team and how they fit in with the other 11 players on the team.
Isn't he the one that gets double teamed in the post and has to kick it out to parker who then hogs the ball and shoots?Quote:

vs. Hawks:
2 points, 2 rebounds, and 5 fouls in 12 minutes.
vs. Sonics
6 points, 2 rebounds in 22 minutes
vs. Raptors
6 points, 5 rebounds in 28 minutes--but I'll give you this one because he played solid defense on Bosh.
vs. Magic
2 points, 2 rebounds in 16 minutes
vs. Houston
13 points, 8 rebounds in 33 minutes
vs. Kings
4 points, 2 rebounds, 5 fouls in 12 minutes
And these are just stats. More telling, his defense is still not where it should be at this point. He feel for the most basic fake pumps against the Kings and Corlos Williamson the other night. He still doesn't know how to set a halfway decent screen...the most basic staple of basketball defense. He's still too inconsistent for me.
Anyway, to each her own. But next time you want to comment on my post, try bringing some actual substance and facts to the table instead of sarcastic one-liners. :rolleyes
so now we can't give an opinion without stats?Quote:

Thank you forum police.
BTW, you give me the game against Bosh, but not Houston were he gets 13 and 8 :lmao
Whatever.
