remember 04 playoffs?
Parker lives in the paint Gm1/2, then LA/Shaq adjust and make him a jump shooter and he becomes
that cost us the series not 0.4
This is dumb. C'mon guys. I love Manu more than anybody, but as long as Nash is guarding him, I'm cool with Tony taking it to the basket as much as he wants. It's a very high percentage play for us and it's the right basketball play, exploiting their worst defender and soft interior defense.
Manu's put up 41 attempts in the two games, so I'm not complaining. I've maintained all along that to beat Phx Parker will have to dominate.
Against NO, we might need him to be more of a playmaker and focus on the mismatch Manu will have more... against Dallas too. Either way.

that .4 shot created Manu's bold spot
Protip: GTFO.
Can't wait to see if the Suns adjust to the Spurs pick and roll. That was pure ownage.
You dug back 4 years when Tony was 21 to criticize him and you think you aren't a hater. Anyway, like I have said repeatedly, the bashing Tony to make Manu look better and bashing Manu to make Tony look better doesn't belong here. If you insist on doing it to Tony and ducks,etc insist on doing it to Manu, you'll just be IP banned. Your is tired and it has no place here.
As they say in the vernacular, "pwn3d."
we all know parker is better and more important to the team than manu
we know this
The Church of Manu has found another Parker quote to analyze into oblivion! LOOK OUT!

I didn't try to hate on Parker, I just used it as an example for the last time Parker/Spurs went up against Shaq in the playoffs. Only on this site am I considered a hater of one of my fav players

I'm sure it's not only this site unless you post completely different. You hate all things about the Spurs except Duncan and Manu.
Did you mean prove it again?
Didn't he score 30-some points against the Suns last year on the road in the playoffs?
I don't really post anywhere else on the Spurs, I guess I try to over analyze the negativity of the Spurs because I want to see them successful, something I'm trying to change
SD21's complete avoidance of the facts constantly amazes me.
Ahh, delusions of significance. Sad, those.
Kori said you can't be this dumb, me I think you are. So I'm going to tell what cost us those series. They packed the paint and dared all spurs shooters to make their shots. Parker dished it out and the spurs unfortunetely couldn't convert.
In case you are dumb or just joined the spurs bandwagon or you are a suns fan or mavs fan, well that's what happened.
Ok, guys, sorry about double posting and double quoting all in one swoop, but...WHAT THE !? You "want to see them successful?!" As if they haven't been up to this point!?

I saw that series and clearly remember what happened, but this thread doesn't need to get off track talking about that series
I want to see them successful this year, and the only measure of success for the Spurs = le
Exactly.
Go back to twisting Tony's quote about Pop wanting him to attack instead.
You posted a stupid opinion that you tried to pass as a fact. I just corrected. Get your facts straight.
No, you, you didn't specify "this year" in the post I 2-quoted, so take your attempt to backpedal and cram it.
Three things spursdynasty is missing with his comparison to '04.
A) Tony is a much better player now than '04, and I trust his jump shot, his maturity, his decision making, and his playoff for ude more now than I did then.
B) Tony has better options to pass to now, better shooters. No Barry on the team in '04, no Finley, and certainly '08 Manu is a much more complete and lethal offensive weapon than '04 Manu, who Pop still didn't totally trust back then.
C) This Shaq and this Suns defense around him pales in comparison to the Lakers defense of '04. That Shaq was considerably more mobile, they had Kobe who's a defensive beast when motivated, and a bunch of scrappy veterans. These Suns are soft on defense and Bell is the only guy right now who even competes in his own end.
Right now unless the Suns want to stick all five of their guys in the paint and dare the Spurs to make open 15 footers, their only recourse to not allowing points in the paint is to foul and hope the refs don't call it. They just don't have the size or speed to deal with the big three and their coach certainly isn't the defensive tactician one would need to overcome their deficiencies.
OBVIOUSLY Parker is a MUCH better player now then he was in 2004, which is why I expect him to continue his fantastic play
I just brought up that series as an example of a team with Shaq that adjusted there game plan because they were getting lay up drill pulled on them like the Suns are now
