Stfu Parker is a top 5 PG in the league and has helped us raise 3 banners. You don't know .
So did Danny Green. Where were they in the end? Where are we now? We can't just say Tony helped us and we give him no blame.
Green is a punchline now, but Parker gets a pass?
Parker has not really done well this series and he continues to get a pass for his regular season play? I'm living in the now and see that Parker is starting to think he is some great shooting player that has to put the team on his back to get a win.
For the record, Manu sucked this series too, but he at least didn't pretend to do things he couldn't do in the first place. Plus he's a lot older.

Helped... Duncan was why. Parker was terrible in our 2003 campaign, I know he was new, but there's a lot of reasons why we won in our years and I wouldn't pin Parker as a real reason for any of them.
Great PGs are a lot easier to find than Hall of Fame Power Forwards. We would not have won those le if not for Tim Duncan.
Parker is not a top 5 PG in the post season. Not this year. Rondo is a much better "Tony Parker" then Parker himself.
When the team is on Parker's shoulders these past few years, where has he been? Where have we been?
fify idiot
tony was far and away our best player this season, and he's by far the youngest of our big 3. Danny Green's disappearing act hurt the most. his defense is solid and his outside shooting really helped our team all year. if his shot didn't fall off the map he would have been valuable on both ends. i would imagine he would have done decently on harden defensively
Who is this alleged player they're supposed to trade for?
??
Are you drunk?
Danny Green really hurt us,
but Spurs fan and NBA analysts totally overrated Tony Parker. He's been the same player the past 4 years, after the finals MVP trophy. He hasn't gotten any better talent-wise. He just had a injury-free season, as an offensive no 1. option on the Spurs.
If you thought Parker was MVP talent this season, why shouldn't he be any other season the past 4 years?
He was just Parker being Parker, so it's only natural he'd struggle against a big physical frontcourt. It has happened EVERYTIME. The Lakers back in 08? The Grizz last year? We lucked out by getting the novice Jazz and the beaten up and one trick pony Clippers.
I'm not criticizing Tony, he played very well - but seriously, what did you expect when he went cold this series? It's nothing new people.
I'm definitely far from the biggest TP fan ( he's my least fave out of the big 3), but to put the sole blame on him is ridiculous.
Did Spurs fan seriously expect TP to rise to like a number 1 PG in the league at the age of 30?
lets get this out of teh way
without parker replace by another pg, you guys think we wont be a playoff team advancing???
tp gets so much credit is fkn bull , i give him credit for pickin up his game when gino was out, but after the trade deadline his still the same player since day 1....
PG's don't win les. Anyway, Parker fits perfectly for the Spurs. He knows the team and he provides consistent scoring, something the Spurs need, since they are a scoring team and their other scoring guard (Manu) is rather inconsistent.
The media doesn't know and many analysts don't either. It was the same thing when Manu was getting significant MVP voting. Manu has been Manu, and the Spurs have been great in these past 2 seasons not really because of one individual, valuable player. It's been team basketball. But the media always wants to credit an individual for a team's success when they're having an outstanding season, and that's simply how the NBA is marketed, it's all about the individual.
Who exactly are these 5 better postseason point guards?
Let's say we save time and concede Rose, Paul, and Rondo. That's three.
Don't say Deron Williams -- he hasn't been to the postseason since 2009, and he hasn't won a playoff series since 2008. He can't possibly be a top 5 postseason point guard.
Don't say Westbrook -- he's still a ty decision maker who made his team better this series primarily by taking the ball out of his own hands and giving it to Durant. If you don't like Parker's decision making, you'd like Westbrook's even less.
Parker totally destroyed Devin Harris head-to-head in the first round this year.
Jameer Nelson is nowhere close to Parker.
Aside from Kidd, Billups, Iverson, and Nash, who are all pretty well washed up at this point, that's the entire list of All-Star point guards for the last 5 years.
In summary:
(1) You're a complete if you don't think Parker is a top-5 point guard based on the criteria you yourself defined.
(2) The idea that what we should be doing is trying to pry the franchise players loose from other playoff teams who would never trade their franchise player is the stupidest thing ever.
(3) This is basically like saying that Kawhi Leonard is a piece of because LeBron and Durant exist, and we should just go get one of them instead.
So why don't you shut the up before you embarrass yourself even more than you already have?
I like you already!
we would be gone fishing 1 month ago if it wasn't for TP
You never know, assuming you have another PG replacing Parker, of course. But, anyway, Parker is not being traded, not a chance, he's a franchise player and you don't trade those by definition, not even after a holywoodian scandal...
Parker is an incredible scorer, a fantastic athlete, an extremely talented individual, a fairly ambitious compe or and he has, of course, carried the team this far.
The problem is he is very imature, he always wanted to be a star the way holywood or rock stars are and now is quite obvious he's not changing, even after all this years of Pop yelling at him. Pop said, I think it was during the third quarter, something like "we need you to score but also to get the team involved". Well, that's pretty much the whole problem, that doesn't come naturally out of him, and since it is a Point Guard you're talking about, the ball distributor, the brain of your team, it's not a small problem. Even when he assists, he wants to be the star, he can't see opportunities for the team past that, either I score, or the guy I give the ball to does (unless specefically told to do anything else, for example "give the ball to Manu"). And he has always secretly competed against the shooting guard, despite Manu not doing the same. You see, it's Manu the guy in this team who knows how to get every teammate involved, but that should be Parker's job.
That's it, call me a hater, whatever, I don't hate him. Well, maybe just a little bit.
