and if he makes the shot, pop and tony are lauded for being persistent and coming through stepping up blah blah blah.
Loosing a meaningless game in april.
How harrrrible.
tony doesnt have a consistant jumpshot, i rather see him take it to the lane or give it to sumone for the shot

I say we should trade Tim Duncan while we still have a chance.
He obviously screwed up the team chemistry.
I think he was tired against Golden state but still managed to hit game winning shot.
All this while manu's ass was resting on the bench....wtf.
Choking is not only missing the last shot. Parker missed four FT in the 4th Q, Manu made all his. It's undeniable that Manu missed the last shot with 2.4 secs to go. But, as Jim said, TP's dribbling on the shot before that one, and shooting from almost the three point line was not the best decision.
Lets just say that it was unfortunate that both Manu and TP missed those two shots at the end.
I would agree, but we are past the trade deadline and are stuck with the malcontent.
Idiot.
Still trying to make this a Tony vs Manu.
They are both Spurs.
STFU and go to sleep.
Um...I am calm. And you obviously are blind to the big picture in this game when it comes to Parker.
Take off the blinders.
you are a freaking moron, have you not watched the spurs' last 4 games???
Explain the Warriors game. Where he murdered Davis.
Why weren't you here to say something.
You're a jackass.
End o' subject.
*dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble shoot miss*
What is that???
That is Parker doing a Steve Francis impersonation from the 26 sec mark to the 15 sec mark of the 4th Q.
i was really refering to the whole team, there's really no excuses for loosing this game but, if you consider the last 4 games you have to give them some slack.
Yes, thankyou
The Spurs have just finished playing 6 games (2 in Double OT)in the last 8 days in 5 different cities.
They have been shorthanded, and they have still fought hard in every game but Dallas....yes cut them some slack.
Hey moron, if you don't have any common sense to see both sides..get your arse to bed...arsehole.
You are right the team lost,but people in here after every lost like to start topics what player lost the game.its called the blamed game when we win it's great we lose lets blamed parker,manu,bowen,berry,duncan,rasho,beno,pop,even malik rose when he was here malik took alot of heat in this forum after every lost when he played bad trade the s.o.b.than they trade malik and its the worst team the spurs could have done.
SPURS WILL WIN THE LE
You Guys Are The Sadest Bunch Of Malcontents I Have Ever Seen!!! So Parker Didn't Penetrate, So He Didn't Make The Shot, So Manu Didn't Make His Shot, who The Are You People To Judge!!! Tp Works His Ass Off The Last Few Games To Keep This Team Afloat And All You Can Focus In Is "he Should've Gone To The Paint"?? Give The Guy A ing Break!! And Those Of You Who Insist On Making Every ing Post A Tp Vs Manu Idiotic Statement I Suggest You Get A Life. If You Hate Manu Thats Fine, If You Hate Tony That Fine, But Know This Hating If ing Pointless 'cause 99 Percent Of The Time Those You Hate Either Don't Know, Or They Just Don't ing Care!!
P.S. Thats all supposed to be in capital letters
Eh . . .?
What two sides? There are no two sides. Its two players playing for the same team.
Its you who has to go to bed, Manu hater.
thanks Jim...but I still hate dentists...
It is ok for Tony to take the shot... I have no problems with that. He should have penetrated and taken it to the hole though. If his penetration path was blocked, kick it out to an outside shooter or take it all the way to the rack to get the foul or the layup.
Tony should NOT take a 20 ft jumper when the game is on the line after wasting time on the clock. His jumper effective FG% in the clutch is .341. He is better off penetrating with an eFG% .435 inside in the clutch. His percentages in the clutch are lower than Tim's (jumper: .350, inside: 444) and Manu's (jumper: .417, inside: .462).
If he takes the shot in the clutch, he should penetrate... it is his forte.
This is a good experience for what is coming... let's hope this will not happen again in the playoffs.
come on guya lets not fight. United we stand...we can disagree with each other, but lets not be too malicious with our insults. remember in the end we are all one
He was affraid to penetrate because he was HORRIBLE from the charity stripe last night and the last thing he wanted was to brick 2 FTs when they needed 2 pts to tie.
This is going to cost them a playoff game, because he is like Rasho in that late in the game, he does not want to be at the FT line.
Manu needs to handle the ball in the last 5 mins of every playoff game, because he can penetrate and make the Defense play him honestly, because they would not want to put him at the FT line, as he actually makes most of them.
If there is one thing that will keep TP from becoming a top 3 PG in this league, it is his HORRIBLE FT shooting.
Even Kidd who is not a good shooter, can make FTs.
Agree with Jim and RVB. Taking a 20ft jumper after wasting 10 sec when you're a poor jumpshooter is a very bad decision. Manu may have missed the last shot but I'm sure he would have had a better opportunity to score if he wasn't forced to do it in 2.4sec.
Manu had the hot hand in the 4th. Tony didn't. He should have deferred. It was tough to lose to a ty Jazz team largely because we were so beat up.
agree. Tony misses 4 FTs, Spurs miss 10 FTs, Spurs lose by 2 pts.
How many games have the Spurs lost this season where the loss margin was exceeded by the number of missed Spurs FTs? or, how many more games would the Spurs have won with a FT %age that is 4th best in the league, rather than 4th worst? But this old, perennial Spurs news.
Oh, well, FTs don't matter, the season doesn't matter, only the playoffs matter.
If Tony is now fearing the FT line in crunch time and then also making bad crunch time decisions (taking his weak jump shots rather than strongly driving) based on that fear, then that's a horrible combination, THAT MATTERS IN THE PLAYOFFS where each game can be expected to be close.
Tony is essentially tied with Tim for gawd-awful career FT %age. This season, even lower than his rookie season, is Tony's worst by far for FT %age. While lots of big men haven't been co-ordinated/athletic enough to hit FTs, what's Tony's excuse?
I suggest that Tony take some $000's of his contract and hire a shooting coach this summer, totally unlearn his horrible shot mechanics, and re-build his shooting from scratch.
did not manu the game before miss 4 free throws
I know at one time manu was 4-8 not against the jazz but the other game
