Notebook: Parker elbowed in the eye, but heel biggest worry

The Spurs are fucking champions. Don't bitch about the refs one night, and then not say anything when they give your team the "right" calls another night :read:

It's the system not just one game. Refs' calls are so inconsistent they don't know how to call games like these when they don't have any consistency in calls from the start.

Refs have so much pull on the outcome of games it is sick. All this bullshit about giving the all-stars more room to be more "physical" and then call something on the next play to even out the missed call before. Jesus Christ.

Spurs fans didn't like the way the game was called. Neither did Tim Duncan, who lingered for a while after the final buzzer to let the referees know how he felt... Bruce Bowen steered Duncan away from the refs to ensure a confrontation wouldn't ensue.

---

I saw this and wondered if there could be some problems for TD for not leaving the court after the game in a timely manner.

For the Spurs to be championship caliber, Parker has to play well. If he plays like he's playing now during the playoffs, it's going to be a long offseason.

I think even more disturbing is that Parker has looked like he has been sleep walking for over a month now. There is no enthusiasm, no excitment or emotion be shown be him at all. In the bigger picture the whole team is sleepwalking. They are going to have to make a move. And they are going to have to get a backup PG.

A star player with lingering foot problems? This writers' strike is reaching even further than I thought. Even the Spurs' storylines are being reduced to reruns.

No team wins without a little luck from the health gods, and right now they are not on the Spurs side. For all the talk about being too old, the biggest health concern is now with their young talent.

Parker hasn't looked right for a long time now. I hope its an injury and I hope it gets taken care of.

Bone spurs an indicator of ankle athritis and a symptom of GD national team play with lack of time for rest and recovery. Screw national team play. Now Parker and the Spurs will pay the price for this bullshit.

THOSE refs suck so much crusty asshole knots that I hope one of them chokes on them and then pukes on the other two refs with all the bullshit that they took down that day!

Teams are making sure we're not going to the postseason healthy.

Karma will take care of it.

it is hard to get excited playing basketball when you are hurt
if tp is not excited the hole team does not seem excited. Is tp the leader of this team?

I am sure if it was playoff tiem tp would be geared up more

Not only was that authentic frontier gibberish, but it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.

If anyone's been paying attention, you'd be able to see there is a lot more going on in this team's make up, than Tony's "heal."

He'll heal the heel soon enough.

Are you guys just upset with Parker or do you want to cut anyone who plays for their national team? :lol

Manu will play in the Olympics in China, yes.

The refs had to watch the Spurs in the second quarter, so the non-calls were payback.

TD was apologizing to the refs for how the Spurs played in the second quarter.

"I'm sorry, sir, that we forced you to watch that."

I don't need to examine his heel. Tony has NOT looked like he has his head in the game at all. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that. I do not believe the "heel problem" is his only problem. He has not played worth a shit this entire season and after the "alleged" affair crap was publicized, his game really went to hell. I have no idea what went down with that crap and don't care, but he obviously has a whole lot more on his mind during the games than winning the game. And that is NOT the Tony Parker of seasons past.

This is less of an indication of ankle arthritis than it is of plantar fasciitis. He needs rest.

:rolleyes

Whatever, you are acting like a tabloid queen. You said his off the court problems were MORE of a problem than his heel. To know that, you'd need to examine his heel. Maybe if his head isn't in the game, it's because he's in constant pain. :dizzy
