Tony Freaking Parker!!!

[pawe]

What's the deal with Spurs fans hating on TP? He just hit the game winning shot and this thread is for celebrating that, not to bring up his turnover, defense and what nots.
**he should pass to Mason more

go to the quotes about the game thread
tp ran right over to mason tonight
mason said tp and him are close teamates

That made up for his 7-17 shooting.

You're stupid enough to think 7-17 is something that needs to be made up for.

Spurs fans are so used to Tony shooting 50%+, that they freak when he has a 41-45% game, which might be the norm for some other "star" guards.

I wonder how Spurs fans would feel with a player like Allen Iverson instead of Tony. They're so god damn spoiled.

Or Gilbert Arenas. Who many Spurs fans think is WAY better than Tony, but shoots 40-42% and averages less assists in more playing time.

Tony and RMJ will run the Spurs when TD and Manu retire...book it!
Dammit I love Mason's game

[m33p0]

ducks should be given a 24-hour ban whenever tp hits a game winner.

Endless story of love and hate..... homers will always be homers and haters will always be haters....

That is the best I have ever seen Andre play. I have always liked him and thought he was underrated, but damn...

No Miller always comes to play against us man . I still remember game one against Denver in 05, a half court three and all kinds of crap, then the recent games too! He just lights us up for some reason.

Spurs fans would have no hair after game two of the season......

It's because he's French.

Yeah they do man It's either that or some big man bum who goes off on our fronts . I swear some shoot over 80% against us routinely, most likely Terry or some other player.

My bad for reading your post wrong. But seriously, your point doesn't hold up to the facts.

Against Parker, the opposing point guards average 15.2 points per 48 minutes. That's not only a good mark, it's the best in the NBA for a starting point guard.

Points Against Per 48 Minutes
Parker, Spurs - 15.2
Chalmers, Heat - 15.5
Blake, Blazers - 16.1
Felton, Bobcats - 16.2
Rose, Bulls - 16.8
Davis, Clippers - 16.9
Billups, Nuggets - 17.6
Alston, Rockets - 17.7
Watson, Warriors - 18.3
Ford, Pacers - 18.3
Udrih, Kings - 18.7
Calderon, Raptors - 18.7
Bibby, Hawks - 18.8
Conley, Memphis - 18.9
Miller, 76ers - 19
Rondo, Celtics - 19.1
Harris, Nets - 19.3
Fisher, Lakers - 19.4
Paul, Hornets - 19.8
Nash, Suns - 19.9
Williams, Jazz - 19.9
Kidd, Mavs - 20.6
Nelson, Magic - 20.7
Williams, Cavs - 20.8
Ridnour, Bucks - 21
Foye, T'Wolves - 21
Duhon, Knicks - 21.2
Dixon, Wizards - 21.2
Watson, Thunder - 21.5
Stuckey, Pistons - 26.7

You can call me a Parker homer if you want for pointing out that your assumption is incorrect, however there are the numbers you asked for. Parker is far from a perfect player but to call him out for the player he guards scoring too much doesn't jive with reality when he's in fact the best in the league in the category you say he is weak in.

Great shot by Tony. Bring on the rodeo road trip!

Ahh, yes... that annual excursion through four time zones so the county can make room for Billy Ray Cyrus.

I'm gonna be one of those people that says, "I was at tonoights game and it was freaking amazing!"

More importantly, that disco band afterwards was the icing on the cake.

[erikuff]

It was a great shot..
But who wants to be the first to make the "Trade Tony" thread after the Miami game?

Trade TP while his value is high!

[timvp]

He also has a history of getting torched by Miller. Nothing new here.

Parker and Miller Career Head-to-Head

Parker
32.8 minutes
15.5 points
5.6 assists
49.2% shooting
13 wins

Miller
34.7 minutes
13.3 points
5.2 assists
40.6%
7 wins


Miller usually either plays really well or really bad against Parker and the Spurs. But the stats don't hold up to the contention that Miller somehow owns Parker.

[2centsworth]

this thread makes me sick. I didn't watch the game, but seeing Tony nut up and hit a big shot is the best you could ever hope for in a regular season game.

Also, the hate for TP is starting to make me hate Spurs fan.

[naico]

People only look at the box score and assume Miller was all on him. Many of Miller's points were Duncan's fault.

Spurs fans need to learn to be happy when the Spurs win on the second night of a back to back. They got lazy and tired in the middle of the game, and pulled out a victory. As duncan228 said in the other thread, ugly wins are better than pretty losses.

Duncan's fault? Why is that, because of his bad help defense? Because he didn't cover near the basket on a drive?

I mean, i don't realy understand ur statement. The first line of defense is the guy who has the task to defend Miller. Man-to-man or zone defense, the guy who's on him has the task to contain him. So the main "fault" goes to that defender. Sure poor help defense won't help matters. But the help defense wouldn't be needed if Miller didn't slice through the offense that often.

The only way it was only "Duncan's fault", is if the Spurs played a 3-2 zone and Miller stood in the corner all night. Now, i didn't see the game but i presume that wasn't the case. As is said, i didn't watch the game, so you can correct me any time.

BTW badass shot by Parker!

IIRC, not too long ago, some poster made a comment about how non-clutch Tony is.

Get owned. You know who you are.
