Pop show is on right now on the Ticket760, and one of the questions that Harris asked Pop was how Tony's performance is being affected by the fact that Pop asked him to shoot less. Pop immediately answered that NO ONE told him to shoot less, even though his FGA have been almost cut in half.
Anyways, I know he's not supposed to show that much emotion, but I hear absolutely no sense of urgency from the head coach. All he keeps saying is that they are following the "same gameplan" as in other years (whatever the that means) and that they haven't been doing "it" enough. He says that whatever is said in the locker room stays there.
I am glad the truth finally came out. I was laughing when everyone was writing all over the board about how "great" Tony was, and what a "team" player that he was sacrificing to get everyone involved, and as soon as they did, he would go back to getting his 16-18 shots a game. That as usual he was just "doing" what Pop tells him to do. Like Pop also tells him he needs to be a scorer...not.
wtf do you want him to do scream?I know he's not supposed to show that much emotion, but I hear absolutely no sense of urgency from the head coach.

go nuts?
ing eh.
When Tony said it, I didn't sound like Pop had officially told him to stop shooting that much. I thought that he had just told him to try to get other players going that weren't involved.
And just FYI, His FGA haven't been cut in half at all. He averages 14.7 on the season. And the last 3 games, he's averaged 10.
I know, it's just what Don Harris said.

Yeah, I realize.
You don't think Pop tells Tony that he needs to be a scorer?I am glad the truth finally came out.

Anyway, people overreacted in that thread in both directions. Including people saying, "I told you Tony shoots too much and is a ball hog .. Pop is even saying it."
Like I said early in that thread, I didn't think it was a big deal. (By the way he only gets 14-15 shots per game - same as Tim.)
If Pop says that he didn't tell TP to shoot less, that means he did.
I wish they would've asked about a trade and then he would've said, "We will not trade anyone on this team, we are happy with this team"
I'm trying to find the audio of when Tony said it anyway and see what question he was answering. Maybe they just asked him, "Why didn't you take that many shots tonight?"
And then he said ...
"He wants me to try to do a better job of getting everybody involved and try to take less shots," Parker said. "I try to get more shots for Michael Finley and Brent Barry and to get their confidence going."
He could have only been talking about that particular game.
Have any other interesting topics been discussed?
In his french radio show, Parker has said that Pop have asked him to do it against philly because they wasn't a big threat. If you want I can do a transcript of this question/answer.
Just when you have time. No rush.
Thanks.
Eh, the TP shooting less/more thing is a moot issue.
What's more concerning is the apparent acceptance of doing what they've been doing the last several years. I guess they enjoy working on their golf games in May more than playing for a le in June these days
winning a ring every other year?What's more concerning is the apparent acceptance of doing what they've been doing the last several years
The show was monday just before the Cletics game :
You have taken only 8 shoots agaisnt Philly, do you have some intructions from Pop about that ?
Yes, absolutely. Pop has said to me that for this game, like Philly wasn't a very strong team, to be focused on putting everybody in the mix and try to give some confidence to Brent Barry and Michael Finley. That's why I've only taken two shots in the first half, I've tried to stay focused on that and like we have a 20 points lead, no need to force things.
But the problem is that tony said himself on his radio show"the TP show" that Pop said to him to shoot less.I am glad the truth finally came out. I was laughing when everyone was writing all over the board about how "great" Tony was, and what a "team" player that he was sacrificing to get everyone involved, and as soon as they did, he would go back to getting his 16-18 shots a game. That as usual he was just "doing" what Pop tells him to do. Like Pop also tells him he needs to be a scorer...not.
So what is the truht?who is the lier?

Yeah in fact,it was just for philly and boston games because these two teams were supposed to suck
I have gotten a kick out of the fact that people have always taken Tony's word for it.I am glad the truth finally came out.

So now you believe the evil Pop?
Getting older and slower while the compe ion gets younger and better.
ing A TPark. This team could go 0-82 and you'd still suck Pop's about it being the best 0-82 record ever.
I think I'm burned out on Spurs speculation. I started FAR too early this year. I wish I had my usual nonchalant at ude towards the Spurs until February. I'm going to have to stop discussing this cra
Dusty knows the answer.
But thats no fun.
