he was craddled up in fetus position when his heroics backfired
You watched the game didn't you? What do you think?

The answer is no. He did not play a lot of minutes for a guy who is the youngest member of the big 3 and no he did not bust his butt on effort defending Felton.
That's a fair point, particularly the Nando suggestion.
Has it occurred to you that we're nine games into the season and this team has controlled exactly two of them? One of which came against a Pacers team that has been woeful and the other against an average Jazz team and they had to win the game twice.
I realize that, no matter how good you are, you're not just going to control 75% of your games and you're going to have to win some you shouldn't win to win 50+. But still. Two of nine and none of the last five.
CIA Pop is smarter than us all, my son. Trust in him and you shall be rewarded.
It's not about winning every game - it's about playing well and winning the games, especially home games, that you have a legit shot to win.
Spurs have been winning and shown some good things. This is a game they should have won all things considered. They probably could have also lost 2-3 games (two buzzer beater wins essentially). Their record is better than they are at this point and although losing a game like this at home the way they did is alarming, they still have a nice record.
What is annoying is the excuses.
After the game, Parker said he was tired due to recently being sick ... although he was quick to say it wasn't an excuse.
Coming up short on everything plus subpar defense (when he's been pretty darn good defensively this season) are other signs that TP ran out of gas. Plus, it's not like Pop plays the "tired" card very often. Maybe once or twice a season.
12 assists and 0 turnovers points to TP's head being in the game, so there must be another reason.
This loss sucked but I'm going to take Pop's word at face value this time.
"It's not about winning every game, it's about winning every game in which you aren't blown out."
Any news on Blair? I really liked how he played today so I am hoping it's nothing serious.
Why is that funny? A double digit lead in the fourth is not a game you should win?
I'm sure the Spurs are in "next game" mode by now
6 years and counting with teh same bull smallball that hasnt worked for us.
disregard the fluke miami cheat team, lakers, celtics, mavs championship teams all have one thing in common...they had big men lineups, not small ball bull and still trying to experiment small ball crap to prove something....
when will change come?
Stop trolling, bro.
This is what Pop really meant to say:
"Tony played like crap, and Manu looked completely out of sync with the team. I acknowledge that I should've played Splitter more, but I thought tiring our starters by giving them huge minutes was a better game plan."
Did you honestly believe we were going to be in the rythym that got us into that 20 game win streak? I somewhat share the sentiment of being worried but considering the injuries, players playing in the summer Olympics and Pop's erratic and spontaneous rotations, I think we're relatively okay. Also, it's still early and Pop has yet to solidify a rotation. If this type of play extends to Feb/March, there is imo reason to panic.
Too much pessimism tonight, but its understandable.
this clown gets a free pass everytime on here, dude got bailed out by mills and danny green last 2 games, this game....he went westbrick at the wrong time in the game...was he hoping someone to have a career breakout game to bail his ass out? splitter at one moment until he was subbed to exposed the westbrick in parker all along
A soon as the viability of suicide becomes a reality for you.
He played more minutes than any of his teammates (36+). It was obvioius he didn't have his legs at the end.
parker fans should explain allowing that scrub over the hill KIDD hit 2 3s in crunchtime
Blah, this was a pathetic loss.
36 minutes is not a lot for the youngest member of a championship big 3 IMO. Especially a self proclaimed "young and can handle plenty of minutes" player. But I digress and it does not change the fact that no excuses, the Spurs coughed up a home game in a very bad way.
Just throw this tape on top of the smoldering Clippers tape.
Parker getting blamed for everything
what was tps points b4 he went westbrick on us, cause he felt he needed to statpadd his stats to even up the law of avges.....
Also the question is how can a young man, 8 games into the season, with a coach that manages minutes more than any other coach in the league, with the deepest bench in the league be gassed in only 36 minutes?
Michael Jordan flu game(ssssss) I guess. Just don't like the whole Kobe "I'm tired, but it's not an excuse, but so you know, I was tired and had the flu and didn't eat lunch until 3, but no excuses from me. Im a no excuses guy, but I was tired, ya".
