Head of the snake is a frog. Gotta adjust.
Tony will be fine, Lamarcus's jump shot is really gonna help Tony's assist numbers.
TP fangirls need to get in here and start spinning

What needs to be spun? Tony needs to be better than last season. Even you could figure that out on your own.TP fangirls need to get in here and start spinning
sad but true ... during offseason I re-watched so many games from the last few years and the one thing that always came up was how TPs penetration (drive & score or drive & kick) opens up the Spurs game ... if this a total thing of the past, we are ed and LMA will not help us enough to offset this
Well at least the conversation has gone from "Spurs are old" to "Tony is old".It's somewhat of a twist.
Lmao
Reminds me of Reggie Miller every time I rewatch the WCF games against OKC, tbh... "The Spurs can't win this series if Tony Parker doesn't show up"...
You have to tell me the time.
all TP jokes aside...how could FO not see this coming? Or if they did, why did they not make some different moves?
I prematurely called Tony's demise a few years ago but even a casual fan should have been able to look at last year and realize that TP is not going to be able to be effective given
his loss of quickness and speed. I hoped like all Spurs fans that last year was due mostly to injury but realistically, FO should have seen this and made plans.
I appreciate what the guy did in his younger days and acknowledge that he was as good as there was at what he did. But that doesn't do anything for the Spurs right now.
Not one to doubt Pop. And I don't think it negates all of the moves they've made. But having him as the starting PG makes it a long and difficult road to get another ring.
I could make a whole breakdown on how many wrong takes Miller had in that series.
The Spurs might needs to trade for a scoring guard this year. What's going to be hard is match salaries. Williams being on the team helps, but he only counts for so much. And then there's the question of incentive.
There was a time we had like 4 PGs or maybe Im drunk, Nando Cojo Patty Parker and now we are a little short since McCallum is raw and Patty needs to play pure point if he is gonna be out there doing lots of minutes, Slomo cant fill those shoes...
First half of Game 6 for sure... but he ran with that narrative pretty much throughout the series.You have to tell me the time.
I think Pop feels he can transform Tony into more of a playmaker... he did the same with Manu. We'll see if it works out.
We spent how many years searching for an athletic sf before Leonard? How long to replace Robinson?
It just seems kind of short sighted to say we should have done something about Parker. It's just not possible with a salary cap to stockpile talent like you're the Alabama football team or something.
Maybe. But Manu always had the instincts to be a playmaker. I'm just not sure that's something that's learnable. Or at least learnable at an NBA level.
You'd have to think this is the year the Sours actively look for TP's successor in the draft, as we won't have enough cap space to sign or trade for a legitimate starting PG... Right?
we used to need tony parker.
Should of traded Porker and kept Cojo. I always thought Cojo would be the Spurs PG of the future. Sure he might be bad but he's nowehere near current TP bad.

Manu is one of the greatest facilitators of all time. Parkers offense was the only positive he ever brought to the Spurs. He has zero value now that he can't score.
