he is the PG because he is too small to play SG. that's the only reason.
He is great, fast, fearless. Unvaluable.
But he is not a PG. A PG's job is to get his team involved, run the offense for the TEAM. he has not done that for the 3rd game in a row.
All he does is penetrate, shot his midrange, and sometimes kick it out to the 3 pt shooter when he has no other choice. that is not a PG!!!!
Hill came in last night and ran the team as a PG should.
With Manu out, shouldn't we have a PG that tries to get the team involved??????
come on TP, play as a traditional PG more. this is BS

Maybe if everyone on the team decided not to clank open shots he would have more assists.
great scorer, mediocre point guard.
another undersized two, like jason terry, ben gordon, monta ellis, etc...
why do they have to depend on the jump shot? we are not the mavericks.
however, for the spurs type of system, he fits perfectly. stick him into a team like the suns or hornets, and their offense struggles like a mother er
Manu, Barry were the players that ran the offense getting players involved last year.
I just hope we can see more of Hill. And wait for Manu comeback. Meanwhile, we might be like the anic
Amen to that. You see it like it is. Manu and Brent ran more offensive plays then TP. And we all know that TP isnt a true point. Thats why it made no sense then togo for a true point or a solid big in this past draft. Now they're trying to teach Hill the same way they're trying to teach Tony. Without Manu and Brent mixing up the way the spurs play. Now people can see just how easy this team is to beat. Let Tony score all the points he wants. But when he stops hitting thats it. He cant make the team better in other ways. Timmy has to get involved from the outside now in getting the ball passed around. Even when Manu was playing but was hurt. Thats why Pop wanted Kidd so bad. Those true points are hard to find. And who did we bring in? Roger? talk about the runt of the litter.
It takes other people hitting thier damn shots for TP to get his assists. Everyone else is pretty much sucking. Its funny that Spurs start off real slow and its parker's fault. It's not because of injury to Manu, its not becasue the Spurs couldn't get some decent players in the off season, it's not because Bowen is losing a step, its all parker. Where were these threads when he was carrying us to victories in the playoffs or winning Finals MVP? It's just Spurs fans doing thier favorite past time- hatin on Tony.
One thing about Parker that never ceases to annoy me is his tunnel vision. He's not a bad passer per se, but he puts his head down too much in mid-drive and winds up getting his shot swatted, or dishing desperate passes. It's not that he's not trying hard enough, but rather trying too hard when the opening isn't there. It also seems like Parker is hesitating too much right now, letting shotblockers/defenders get that extra second or two to react to him, but I imagine he'll feel more comfortable as the games go on.
Of course not. He's a PC.

Not taking anything away from parker because the man can all out ball but honestly I would love to see more of him move to the 2 guard on some game situations later down the line this year if Hill continues to improve. I know we have allready seen pop toy with this a little bit but I would love to see more of it.
All I can truly say is that our back court is all win! We have Manu(when he gets back) Mason, Hill, Parker, and even Findog(although with his game fading I still think he can give occasional production). There are just so many options and things that the spurs can go with it's almost unreal.
Parker isn't the problem. The problem is that Manu is hurt, not enough production from the bigs besides Tim. And of course missing too many shots. I think Timmy is best as a help defender as he keeps his side of the floor honest and can slide over to help on D, causing either a miss or the other team to get out of sync. Parker is the only guy we have right now that can get to the rim and why not, it's not like we have sharp shooters knocking down jumpers and 3's.
before last night parker was top 5 in the league in assists @ 8 apg, while still averaging 28 points.
does the spurs offense really call for a true pg?
are we underrating the drive in kick out - inside out game of tony parker?
how often is duncan called on to quarterback the team from the post?
how often are parker's assist numbers skewed because:
1. we can't hit shots or
2. the spurs ball movement around the perimeter is flowing
oh please don't confuse some spur fans with your logical analysis. Its all Tony's fault.
Tony sucks !
All he does is penetrate, huh? Yeah why would a true PG ever do that?
Tony's not a shooting guard because he's not a good shooter.
Tony's the best little "Big Man" in the NBA. He gets more points in the paint than most Bigs.
Invaluable.
Unvaluable sounds like he has no value.
Ginobili injured is the reason the bench looks "ugly assed"
A healthy Ginobili coming off the bench with HIll, Udoka, and Finley is a darn good one.
The absolute best guard in the league in the paint is averaging 26 and 6, shooting 53 percent from the field and 88 percent from the line, has the second and third leading scorers on the team shooting over 60 percent and fans of his own team complain that he doesn't pass enough.
Tony is definitely NOT a true, classic PG...he doesn't have the natural passing gifts of a Nash, Kidd or Paul. He's more like AI, a scorer and creator. But all that being said, he's not a BAD passer and he's not a ball-hog like Marbury...He is what he is, and he's great. He's invaluable. And he is definitely NOT a reason why the Spurs are 0-3. The reasons we're 0-3 are obvious. No Manu, short on bigs, and aging roster (Bowen, Finley and Thomas).
Two other reasons we're not dominating: Scola and Splitter. Just imagine how good we'd be if we'd held on to Scola and/or landed Splitter.
did you mean invaluable?
