tp on fire

[hater]

Parker in a good shape -- 30 pts in 23 min


In Riga against the Tchech Republic, Tony was in a great shape

30 pts in 23 mn (9/15 with 2/3 at 3 pts and 10/10 FTs)

howcome you r not ing of him playing international ball like you did with Manu?

[timaios]

If TP isnt in a spurs uniform then the only thing i care about is his health. We already have one of our big 3 hurt. What happens if TP gets hurt.

And what happens if TP gets hurt in one of the 100 games he will play with Spurs this season ?
And what happens if TP gets hurt in the pre-season games he will play with Spurs ?
And what happens if TP gets hurt in climbing the stairs of his house ?
Come on, he will play 3 games with France, i think he can do that without destroying his career.

And you cant say i got something against the french, cos my wife is french.

For some husbands, it is a good reason to hate french !

First, I'm not "so happy" the pink elephant was there to tease people. I take Spurs' winning a ring over French NT winning an Olympic medal (even the gold one). However, I respect Parker's choice and I will enjoy watching him play during summers.

I am proud of TP for choosing to contribute to the NT team as well and I hope he takes them to the next level. I am also not making him guilty of Manu not being able to get to the off season 100% due to his early season injury.

BUT i did buy the elephant was a shown of happiness. my wishes for TP are the best and i just hope for him to come out of this one in his best shape ever. If he goes down as well there won;t be any playoffs next year (there is where i am worried since both of them are equally important to the team) when one is down the other steps up with both down we'd be in BIG trouble

Second, your question is incredibly lame. I hope it was a joke and if it wasn't, shame on you and I hope you will realize the stupidity and the lameness of your question.

Sorry... the question would make more sense if being directed to ducks...

Is it still a joke ?
You are now saying that Manu instead of analyzing if his body can allow him to play during summers and if he still wants to play for Argentina NT, will be childish and say to himself "If Tony plays for his NT, I will play for mine." ?

Well... it is always the players choice but the FO knows their power of trying to convince him lowers with TP going at it EVERY offseason as it seems he will.
I am not questions that TP's body endurance is WAY higher than Manu's but still it won;t be positive for the Spurs showing they can't stop their players from representing their NT that's all

Mahinmi isn't on the roster this year. He was selected but he and/or Spurs have turned down the selection.

I wonder why...

It is obvious your not a Spurs Fan at all. When's the last time you went to a game? When did you become a Spurs Fan? And your comment about my wife, i cant argue that one (A wife is a wife no matter where she's from). Then again a wife isnt a wife until you've been married over 23 years. Oh and enjoy my ignore list, where mickey mouse and non Spurs Fans go.

I don't think there will be a lot of negotiations between Manu and Spurs.
In 2009, Argentina NT will play the Americas championship. There are few incentives for Manu to play it.

If Manu hasn't signed an extension with Spurs, he will be a FA in 2010. Teams won't have leverage on Manu. It will be up to Manu to say that he will only sign with a team that let him play the WC.

If Manu has sign an extension with Spurs before the 2010 summer and given Manu's age and durability, I don't see Spurs giving an extension for Manu without knowing exactly what are his plans with the NT.

He doesn't play qualifiers anymore and ofcourse next one won;t be an exemption never thought about this upcoming tournament...

I don't think he will ever bring that up for negotiations and you sound like you are predicting if he will be completely useless by 2010... i am not so sure about that but you could be right though... time will tell...

If Manu has sign an extension with Spurs before the 2010 summer and given Manu's age and durability, I don't see Spurs giving an extension for Manu without knowing exactly what are his plans with the NT.

The Spurs know that eventually Manu will play a last tournament with the NT and i think the target is Turkey... they have known all this from day one and despite the extension wasn;t done already supposedly due to him playing the Team HAS NO RIGHT of using that as a negotiation factor in a contract

back on Topic how many assist and steals is TP averaging

You are just stupid. Tell me 1 thing i said in my post that indicates you i am not a Spurs fan.
I live in France, but i watch all the games except maybe 6 or 7... every years.

Injuries happen.
Tony will play 3 games with France.
Tony will play about 100 games with Spurs.

So why the fans are so paranoid with injuries ?
If tony gets hurt playing basketball, it could be with France (3%) or Spurs (97%).

He will play 3 games with France, it's not a big deal.
Stop thinking that the absolute worst is going to happen ...

And now imagine spurs would have signed Tiago...

[lefty]

As long as the other team is not coached by Phil Jackson, TP will be fine

[ducks]

howcome you r not ing of him playing international ball like you did with Manu?

I already stated why I was ok with it
he rested and pop did not publically "suggest he not play" like manu

and manu was hurt and coming off an injury

[Sissiborgo]

haha true...

Almost all basketball players are going to play in the summer-- if it's not in organized games in europe or elsewhere, it'll be in pick up games, or celebrity And 1/Rucker park-type events where showboating and entertaining moves are expected... either way, there will always be the chance of injuries. Some coaches have come out and said they'd rather see players in organized games rather than in the more chaotic and risky pick up situations. Jordan always used the summers to focus on specific things, like perimeter shooting, left handed shots around the rim, etc. Either way, you are not going to stop players from playing, and aside from sitting out to let injuries heal, it's probably preferable to have them play a little in the summer to keep them sharper-- and, besides, doesn't it seem odd to tell a professional basketball player that he is forbidden for two months to play.... basketball?

haha true...

did you not read the post above it before you posted or are you an idiot
