Haven't been the same since the All-Star break... very mild back2back games against the West elite...
Just tired?

~25, 8, 60% since All-Star game before tonight. Good trolling, tbh![]()
whatever happened to tp's 3-6 ft floater? feels like he hasnt attempted one in a couple of games
Forgettable last two games though... Westbrick 36 points, The ghost of Jason Kidd 4-5 from downtown... Just 12 shots taken against the Mavs...
Parker getting shat on by the opposing point guards that he's supposed to, nothing to see here.
he was even upstagged by the french alah in this game
lost a step, TBH.
Also, Tim Duncan's wheels feel off.
Jason Kidd played probably his best game of the year. When he's hitting shots, you know somethings wrong. Lately he's had games of 3 points, 6, 8, etc. Tonight was just a bunch of BS shots going in...
Tony just looked tired. These few days of rest will be good. Nothing to worry about.
Actually got to see a few games recently, seems to me Parker got the worst of the exchange between he and Rose.
Though it looked like somethin serious for Rose at the time, the way he laid on the floor, not sure it hasn't been more detrimental to Parker - the fact that he seemingly shook it off made some think otherwise.
Hard to explode if you've got swellin in or around the knee.
Not sure if you are serious...
Parker average almost 25/8 with 58FG% since that game.
Good read. Honestly, the major concern I have with Parker is how much he gets rejected. Quite honestly, it's why I never embraced the guy. I never have felt like he can get us a basket when we really need that crucial score. Especially against teams with size. It seems like whenever we play the Lakers over the last few years, you can pretty much forget about Tony Parker being a factor, he just gets stuffed nonstop. Last year against Memphis, he was terrible. I think that goes to show why everyone always felt Manu was our ticket to success. It wasn't long ago when we were all begging for Parker to be traded. Yes, he is playing awesome this season in certain areas of his game. But I still think we need to ship him out after this season. He can bring us a high draft pick, or a good young big man.
People need to understand that TP is almost always the headline in opponents defensive game plans. Since 2004 and the Lakers series, most coaches make it a priority to stop him cause they know he's going to score 35/50 pts if they let him do his thing.
On the other hand, Manu is unpredictable and brings many little things (intangibles, instant clutchness, momentum reversal, contagious hustle...) that makes him very difficult to plan on. Then they prefer focusing on Tony and Tim and let Manu do his things while simply asking their players to be very physical on him.
Sorry but you're so dumb, you want to trade the only member of the big 3 still in his prime, it means that you want to rebuid before Tim retires or that you somehow hope the move would bring us someone who can carry a team immediately. Please throw some ideas of realistic trades ideas that won't make every laugh or stfu.
Ain't been able to watch every game, just a few here and there since then.
The numbers look good and he's obviously played well, but I haven't seen the same explosion since that game.
Great players can still put it together when they're ailin. Whether he is or not, not sure. But he hasn't looked quite right since that collision to me.
Tony Parker has always been inconsistant. He goes a few games playing out of his mind then he disappears for a stretch. This year is just more obvious cuz he's been putting up insane numbers and at times has looked like a franchise guy. But the fact is he isn't. All star yes. Franchise no. Let's just hope we can get through the rest of the season with him at a high level.
magic johnson on friday against thundersaid he belongs in the mvp discussion
in fairness, kidd gets open shots against everybody (he's taken 159 this year, and if it's even mildly contested, he doesn't shoot it) - it's just a question of whether or not he makes them.
This.
I've watch Kidd all year. He's old and slow, but even old and slow can still hit a set shot (like Mario Elie at the end of his career).
If the Spurs aren't dog tired, they close out on Kidd, and he either rushes those shots, or he doesn't take them. Kidd is a smart player, and that doesn't go away with age, but he's not a scoring threat unless he's wide open.
I thought it was time to resurrect this thread. It worked so well the first time. Maybe Timvp needs to slap some fresh mojo on it. Because right now, it's the fourth quarter of the Memphis game, and all I can think is WTF Parker?
I hope is nothing more then him being tired. Need to lock up that #2 seed to get him rest. He's carried the team for most of the year.
7 turnovers and counting tonight
