Maybe Duncan still gets the nod as the 'go to' guy for the Spurs.
... for "Dime Magazine"
http://dimemag.com/2009/10/the-nbas-...eron-williams/
Deron Williams has just been ranked 10th and it's a count down (1 by day by team)
He seems to finaly gets some consideration by some media!
At what spot do you think he'll end? Top 5?

Or ManuMaybe Duncan still gets the nod as the 'go to' guy for the Spurs.

It's not about the best player...
Everybody agrees (even Tim and Manu in their interviews) that since last year, TP has become the Spurs go-to player
I though it was a no-brainer...
I think I answered to quickly and didn't get the sarcasme
mmm....top 5 will be hard. Maybe around 8.
Kobe
Lebron
Dirk
CP3
Duncan
Or maybe all 3 are in the top 10!!!!!!Or Manu
Even if he is the next on the list (9th), it will be better than expected!
Not because he does deserve it, but because he FINALY is seen as one of the best by some media (I guess "Dime mag" has some credibility)...
That was the point of my thread...
This is not surprising to me. Tony had a of a season in 2008/2009
And I bet he will be the leading scorer for the Spurs again this year.
Unfortunately, there's only 1 player allowed per team in this list. So it's going to be Duncan. Manu and TP won't get any mention unless it's in Tim's article.
Unless of course things have REALLY changed and TP is the #1 go-to player on the Spurs.
well...
1- Things have indeed change ...
2- As I said before (not a too long thread ... yet!
I can't see anybody else but TP to be this guy...
What a freaking joke.
I havent seen every Spurs game, but Ive seen enough to know Popovic gives the ball to Ginobili to create in the final minute. You dont want to give Tony "Turnover" the ball.
That would be quite a statement if you are correct. If so, I don't think it would be a #9, probably #5-#7.well...

TP is definitely the go to guy……………………………..while Manu and Tim are injured lolwell...

You should replace "every" by "many" or even "any!
Talking about TO...
I love Manu and until a couple years ago, he was that guy, but now?
It's asking him too much
It's funny that this comes from a suns fans who should be used to see Tony destroy his team again and again and again.... and again ...
If Chris Bosh is your closer, you've got problems.
Exactly.
Who cares????... start the season already!!!
Silly Spurs fans, don't you know, based on this preseason, DeJuan Blair is the new it guy. He doesn't need to be fed the ball he just takes it.
I'd be shocked if Blair is ranked lower than #5.
well Manu was injured last year. he still best NBA player in 4th quarter

Would you look at that. Parker performed better in the clutch than Nash this past season.
Guess d_s_f was wrong... yet again.

According to the last link, when it comes to FG% in the clutch, you'd want Gasol, Ariza and Odom (in that order) taking shots before Kobe if you're a Lakers fan. Throw Ariza out of there because 1) He's in Houston now and 2) he was a role player and the list is still interesting.
But if you want to talk Ariza, he shot .588 on 11.7 FGA in the clutch last season. That's 6.88 shots made in the clutch.
Artest was .255 in clutch FG% with 20.7 FGA. That's 5.28 shots made in the clutch, or less shots than Ariza despite shooting 9 more shots.
Uh yeah, that doesn't really look like a good trade off. I found that interesting.
Thanks for the links. Click on them and you'll see Parker's passer rating in the clutch is 5.4. Compare that to 16.6 for Nash. Thus the name "Tony Turnover".
You dont want Parker making decisions in the clutch.
Kudos on the self ownage.

Parker's assist per bad pass: 7.0. Nash's assist per bad pass: 3.7.
Parker's total turnovers: 186. Nash's total turnovers: 248.
Parker's a scorer first and foremost. Congrats on the selective vision.
