He's been terrible both games.... especially at the end.
Too easy looks like...

I do not approve of this ElNono thread. It reeks of Church of Manu.
But i agree. Tony is pissing me off
When his J isn't falling and our 3s are missing....Very Easy.
tony just needs to establish his teammates first, then everything else will come to him. He forces thngs because he figures he has to take the shot. But the main thing is that Tony just never seems to adjust to what they do to him.
He's playing like , totally unexcusable, he better wake the up.
tony can play much better. he was pretty good in the first half, just needs to keep it up.
Another thread along the lines of trade tp.....he hasn't played in the clutch but all can be forgiven pending game 3
He has proven himself many times in bigger stages than this to say something like that, he's just going through a rough stretch.
Exactly, the guy closed out the Suns and Hornets with huge jumpers in the last minute in 2008, did the same repeatedly to the Mavs last season, and CARRIED our offense in 2009. His bad performances in the first two games makes me more positive for game 3 because so far, we've seen D+ Tony Parker.
No hate on Tony, btw... or CoM BS either... I'm just bringing this up because one game can be luck, but two games is a trend...
2 games is not a trend
Tony is the key to these series - and I will stand by this.
Without Manu the Spurs can't win but the same is true for TP and Duncan. The team is all built around those 3 guys.
If Tony can play at the level we know he can this series shouldn't be going over 5 games. More than Manu, TP is the key - he's been playing below horrible level and that gives me hopes he can bounce around. When he's playing at his level, few people can stay in front of him and, most importantly, he can definitely push their bigs to automatic fouling him on penetration. If you want to neutralize their bigs with this particular match-up they are presenting to the Spurs you need to ask your guards to drive them through straight to the paint and make them foul you. The Spurs have 4 players who can do that easily. Not many team can do that.
Also, I think Pop should definitely review the Splitter situation - being a rookie in the US he's been playing high level basketball with multiple accomplishments overseas. The Grizzlies guys are too big for the Spurs regular "bigs" and I think Splitter has the size to mess with them for a while
Doesn't matter at this point in the season....he the reason we lost the first game, and he gave Memphis a chance by missing at the end of this game. We need him to be himself if we're going to take both games in Memphis.
Well his decisions at the end are questionable, although this specific jumper usually falls for him (you might have noticed he scored it once in the first half, actually). His shooting isn't too great (6-14 this time, not horrible but we would expect 7-14 or 8-14 on a usual night).
12 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block, and only 2 turnovers + decent play on the defensive end. It doesn't look all that ty to me (especially since he, like the rest of the Spurs team, didn't get any love from the refs tonight).
People will remember the 2 possessions when Pop obviously told him to burn the clock down - and will forget the 2 clutch passes he made just before to create the lead.
Yeah, he has been disgusting.
I full expect a vintage Tony performance in Game 3. 25+ on good shooting.
He's getting a lot of good looks IMO, he just can't make his jump shot..
IMO, Memphis will start making less jump shots, and TP will start making them..well, at least I hope so, the law of averages better come through..
Exactly. Said the same thing in the game thread. Just gotta write it off as a small slump. He'll bounce back
I hope this is just 2003 against the Suns. Tony was very bad in the 1st two games and had a monster game 3
well it seems memphiss bigs are too much... and they are affecting how he penetrates also it seems like he doesnt have that quickness that has him flying threw the paint..hopefully he bounces back in game 3.. Go tony!
Zach "butterball" Randolph and ing scrub ass Marc Gasol are too much for Parker to own the paint now? If that's the case just ing shoot me as it's all over.
It does seem that he has been afraid to drive into the lane due to Gasol and Randolf.
he definitely hasnt been himself the first two games
maybe he's ailing for whatever reason, i remember pop saying something about tp just before the end of the regular season
I don't think he's playing bad at all, I think he's just missing shots, which stinks; but he's getting to the hoop, he's moving the ball, he's getting open looks at the end of games, he's not getting blown by on defense... he looks pretty good, aside from missing just about everything. They'll start falling again and he'll single handedly win some games for us.
