Wouldn't you know it FOX is full of crap once again.
You don't need to look anyfurther than Manu and Tony's numbers when Duncan is out. They're all better.

Damn. In that video Duncan is rubbing his right knee. We didn't know anything official about his right knee then, just his left.
well, let's hope he'll be able to perform at the same level he did that game. i guess we could content ourselves with that TimDamn. In that video Duncan is rubbing his right knee. We didn't know anything official about his right knee then, just his left.
thats rediculous. tim is still the best player in the nba. he makes more impact on the game than anyone besides maybe kobe. tony is a pure scorer, and has always penetrated. so he gets a jumpshot and we say its his team? preposterous. the team is built around tim. you ask the guys in the locker room whose team this is. theyll tell you.
a healthy duncan, but with his current knee tendon problem, I'd take parker for sure.
If that's true, and, assuming Tony's play doesn't drop off a precipice during the playoffs, the Spurs will win number 5......
I can't imagine Manu playing anywhere near the level Tony is right now.
Fox sports can go eat a .
Who cares whose team it is.
We won't win number 5 without any member of the big 3.
On a side note, the only thing that really changed is that Tim can take a step back on offense by letting Tony be the main weapon and save more energy for the other side of the court. Tim can be an A+ type of player on offense as well as on defense but don't have imo the legs to be both in the same game in the regular season. Now, Tony can carry the load on offense and also be that A+ offensive weapon that allow Tim to save energy to be that A+ presence in the post no other player in the team can be.
For me the spurs are now like that : Tim is the man, shares the load on offense and is the ultimate pic'n roll (or pop) player. Tony is the most constant offensive player of the team and run the show to the perfection. And Manu is the final piece, the guy that puts this team over the top.
FOX sports love the Lakers
They are afraid of the Spurs, so they are trying to start an internal war @ San Antonio
How transforming a simple press stuff in "so he gets a jumpshot and we say its his team? preposterous" "nan its Tim team", "manu PO>TP PO" gna gna just ing ridiculous.
You betting against Manu Ginobili? I think we all no better then to do that. He's fearless. He does intangable things on the court. He knows how to win. I wouldn't be suprised in the least if he turns into super Manu by the time the playoffs start. The dude plays by his own set of rules. I'd never count him out.
On the note of this Tim and Tony deal. I don't see how you guys can try and compare the two positions. One plays forward/center and the other plays point. In this past era its obvious that the bigman has always prevailed as the most important position. So its not fair to try and compare the two in those regards.
If you're asking me who's carrying the team right now I will tell you Tony Parker is. If you're asking me what would be more detremental to the team; a missing Parker or a missing Duncan. I will tell you a missing Duncan.
Maybe for the past stretch of games....but we'll see in the playoffs. I say it's still Tim's team.
Fortunately the players don't give a of what dude team is...
haha this post wins the thread.
How do Spurs fans always get suckered into pitting their players against each other? The last time I checked, Duncan, Ginobili and Parker are all on the same team. An intrateam rank is meaningless.
The article doesn't state anything new. Since about 2003, Parker has been the player the opposition has to first gameplan to stop - even more so than Duncan. If you don't plan how to slow Parker, you aren't going to beat the Spurs because he can score the easiest of anyone on the team and his penetration will then open up room for shooters. After a team figures that out, then they move on to Duncan and Ginobili gameplans.
But the fact that TP is the first player other teams worry about doesn't make him the best player on the team. He held that status even when he was clearly the third best player on the team.
Obviously Parker has gotten better but to win a championship, the Spurs will have to use their usual formula. There hasn't been any torch passing. Duncan is the chassis, Parker is the engine and Ginobili is the fuel.
GREAT point timvp. I've always wondered the same thing around here. I never understood the TP vs. Manu argument at all. They are BOTH on our team, and are lucky to have all 3 of TD, TP, and Manu on our team. Without one of them, the Spurs just aren't the Spurs. They are our BIG 3 guys, no need to argue in favor of one or the other when they have ALL been responsible for bringing the 3 LOB's in 03', 05', and 07'. And hopefully....2009 now.
Its just for fun man....last time i checked this was Spurs Talk....we are just discussing "Whos team is this now?"
No one should get offended or upset its a great topic of discussion that i have had debates with friends already.
I don't have any problem since you keep your signature
I don't think grading them and ranking them means you don't believe what you just posted. I think you can have it both ways.
How is Manu streaky when he can do more with 7 attempts than anyone in the league and I mean anyone.
Bruce is the breaks
does that make vaughn the cup holder?Bruce is the breaks
Don't be mean mugen
Duncan is the earth, Parker is the wind and Ginobili is the fire.
