this thread sucks
We've beaten the Cavs, Celtics, Magic & Lakers and who else with Parker's soft ass in a suit?
I like our chances as long as he doesn't suit up.
this thread sucks
im afraid as soon as he comes back, the ball will be out of manu's hands and that is a BAD thing.
yep. Parker KILLS our ball movement on offense. And he's soft on D. Facts is facts.
Manu not having the ball ALL THE TIME is a good thing, at 32 he can't be the sole ball handler for 40+ minutes.
as of now it would be really great to have TP leading the bench...you know instead of RMfreakingJ....
The nets !
We can't beat the Nets without Parker.
I agree
whew! good thing we won't have to face them in the playoffs then. We're GOLDEN!!

Njn!
watch spurs lose vs. Sacramento now
It's not a popular opinion, but one of the main reasons we weren't very good for the first 50 games was because a hobbled Tony Parker was doing much more harm than good. I mean let's look at reality:
Tony vs Hill
X Layups
Mid-range J x
Threes x
Free throws x
Ball movement x
Rebounds x
Defense xx
Giving ball to Manu xxxxxxxx
When Tony's fully healthy, he's a weapon, but if he's not a 100%, he doesn't do us any good on the floor. He kills the offense and he's horrendous on defense, too small to stop muscular guys and too passive on the quick guys. I don't think it's much of a coincidence we took off when he was out. Same thing happened in '08. His value to the team is dramatically overrated.
If we want to win a ring I think we need to have Tony playing one specific role, and that's as a 24 min a game bench scorer. Hill and Manu need to play the bulk of the games and even RJ has some value because he's actually a pretty solid defender in the half court and a decent rebounder. Plus, the way we way on offense, we need catch-and-shoot guys. Parker has never been that and it throws off everyone's rhythm.
I think it must be eating at Tony's insides that he couldn't be part of this recent spate of wins.. good, I hope he outdoes himself when he comes back but hopefully he doesn;t become a disruptive factor in this nice balance the team has achieved.. really looking forward to how Pop handles his return.
What does that even mean, "outdoes himself?" Hog the ball more than he already does? Force more bad shots? I'll believe Tony is serious about winning a le when he competes on defense and understands he can't dominate the ball on offense. Until then, he'll be the same guy we've seen all year.
Spurs are peaking despite of Tony's absence not because of it.
And here it goes again...We need Tony to win the championship, thatīs a fact. We won today because Manu is on a tear and playing out of his mind, but you just canīt count that night in and night out for 40 minutes in every game of the playoffs.
I really hope Parker differs some of his touches to Manu when he comes back.
Usually Parker tends to get a lot more touches/looks than Manu.
Manu's touches need to stay relatively the same when Parker comes back.
It's an extremely popular opinion among those here who hate Tony and start threads about it after every win without him.
horrible ing take. We need Tony to take the load off of Tim and Manu. Manu was running on fumes today at the end.
Did ya'll see the in-game interview with TP?
Reporter: Tony, how did you feel about the injury to George Hill?
Parker: I should be ready to play soon. I'm ready to get back on the court.
Reporter: Um, what did you think about Hill?
Parker: I want to play.
tony can create his own shot, and he can only help if he can get back in the flow quickly. The only drawback will be that he will recieve more and more minutes as he gets back into the flow and that will affect some of the other guys. But come playoff time Tim, tony and Manu have been together for a long time and I believe they will make it work, they have in the past for 3 les.
aww. boo-hoo. i guess you care more about Parker than the Spurs winning, you bag.
