Parker: Spurs No Longer Championship Contenders

[Ace]

Fact remains, the Spurs bench s all over Miami's bench. There's absolutely no comparison.

Lol first round exit
Lol 1st seed in the West
Lol regular season

I'm all for ting on the Spurs, but it takes a real pussy
to say something like this about his own team. is pussy and Spurs would be better off w/out this sellout .

Join any Laker crews lately?

[lefty]

Parker is an overrated POS

And he doesn't take any blame for the 1st round exit

Of course, Pop is an asshole and Tim and Manu are older, but TP was nowhere to be seen in the playoffs

Trade his ass, quick

Coupled with tired old bag Duncan yer SOL.

Oh I cannot wait for the 30-52 seasons to start.

You don't blow up a 61 win team. You tweak it and bring in defense. Parker will be fine. He's a proven horse, so why trade him for a prospect?

If possible

For the proverbial small market team you fellows did peaches. You have only the one regret, well 2:::

1:::you failed chronologically to repeat.

2::uncan ended up sniffin' Kobe's blow hole.

Oh, well, saylarvee.

The "good player" myth has been debunked for quite some time. What "good player" is available who has anything close to the pedigree Tony has?

Good question

[Bill_Brasky]

No way we get rid of parker. Hes still good. Need to find him a backup who is a true PG.

[FkLA]

Longoria for Bynum imo.

Comparing the Spurs to the old Suns teams is kind of a stretch too tbh. The Spurs defense has obviously dropped from their championship years but they still werent as horrid as the Suns. They also werent a run and gun every game all game team like them. Duncan, even at this stage of his career, was ten times more of a post presence than the Suns ever had. I wouldnt go as far as calling them a gimmick.

I now Knight thee Sir...

hardy, har har.....surely you jest

Why wouldn't he? Anthony is way too short to guard him and Bosh is way too frail. Kevin Garnett was scoring on them IN THE POST for christ sake. That should tell you something.

[joshdaboss]

gnsf joshdaboss with the gold if Manu healthy talking

Grizz kicked our ass because our frontcourt sucks. Give me one PO team with a second starting big or primary big coming off the bench worst than the spurs ? Kurt ing Thomas would immediately be our second best big man.

manu injured
we were the better team
if Pop plays Manu in the first game, we would have won the west

Two things are apparent from your post. Number one, your English is terrible. Number two, your knowledge of the NBA is terrible.

The Grizzlies didn't kick anyone's ass. Every game except for one was up for grabs, even with Manu playing with a Walmart brand sling on his arm. As much as I hate Popo , he's always been a no-excuse guy, so it's telling for him to come out and say the Grizzlies weren't the better team and if it weren't for injuries, they'd have beaten them. I agree completely in this case.

The spurs defense this year was "as bad" as the Suns defense back then, both defenses are average. Also you are overrating Duncan's impact offensively at this stage, I would even consider Amare's post game better and obviously just him alone is more of an inside presence than what the Spurs had this year.

The reason the Spurs won 61 games is because they were deep, they were relatively injury free, luck, trying harder than most teams, and there weren't really that many dominating teams this year in either conference. They were never championship contenders. They are who we thought they were.

Parker is right. The Spurs need to completely blow up the team by trading him and Manu since they can't get rid of Duncan's contract.

Two things from your post. Number one, I'm pretty sure my english is better than your french, portuguese or spanish. but yeah bottom line my english sucks. Number two, if you don't think Grizz kicked our ass you are a troll or a solid homer.

Yep. They ain't so f'in' smug now.

If the Lakers traded Bynum for Parker, I'd have to think long and hard about killing myself.

One can even dibble & dabble with it in consideration of Bynum's precarious knee problems, but, Parker could never survive Los Angeles. He'd be a nervous wreck, incapable of functioning. His place is in San Antonio. To leave there would mean the end.

Yeah, but how is your Brazilian?

Probably just as long as the "bring some defense" myth. How are you going to bring any defensive players when you're through the nose with ty players having ty contracts?

Not even close. If you were talking about trading a top 5 defender to get another top 5 defender, that's different. Improving the defense doesn't have to include blockbuster trades.

It takes other teams taking on ty contracts and players, like RJ's or Bonner's contracts... NBDL players won't suddenly make you a top defensive team...

So what realistic trading chips do the Spurs have to bring in these good defenders?

The Spurs don't need to be a top defensive team. They just need to be better than they were last year. The offense is going to be there.
