CHANGE THE GAME !!! The only solution for le.

^^Most DUMB reply I have ever seen

Melo scored because he is a great player and he is at his peak and SPURS defense offered no solution. TD is not at his peak and TP offense is good but not great. If you run the same play by only 2 players over and over again, you will certainly be explored unless the players are MJ or Shaq at their peak. What you need to do is to beat the opponent by team efforts such that, if the regular 2 man offense does not work, some other plays involving other players can compensate.

If you have only 2 good players and ask them to handle all offense responsibilities, your team can't advance far (see what SPURS did in the past 2 seasons and what Jazz achieved when they have Stockon and Malone are valid proof). Now the team has 3.5 good players and the coach still run 2 men plays is beyond my understanding.

I would say, before any trade to happen, that the team should consider hiring a more open minded assistant coach to bring some new ideas to Pop & Co

i'm not saying Pop has to call plays only for tim and tony. but when he does, and i hope that will be often, he has to let them play their offensive game, which is very efficient. not to try a mythological conceptual ball movement.

Ball movement will come from the play of our stars. If they force things, that sucks. but as long as Tim give up the ball when he is doubled and tony does the same when the lane is closed for an open 3's, that's well played.

The best way to create ball movement is Tim in the post and Tony attacking the rim, because defense has to respect them or they'll score.

so basically either they'll score at a high rate, or they'll make the extra pass if the defense clog the lane for TP or make a double team for Tim.

Agree 100%. TP needs to stop thinking about get others involved and attack the basket every time. When he does that things will open for others like RJ and Dice

That happens often against the good teams, except that Tim is not doubled and the 3's are not open, but contested and they don't go in. I'm not sure I want to die by how good Tony's jumper is...

Cool. Forum turns 180 degrees and Parker has turned into the Spurs' weakness.

It's not about Tony. He's a great player and we need him if we're to win it all.
But if you're reducing our entire offense to Tim and Tony, and they get stopped successfully, then you have no right to about what the other players around them don't give you.
