nothing impressive if drose isnt playing man, wins against teams with no elite players at ur position playing or injured is nothing to boast about....
yes a win is a win, but h2h you want to play them and outplay them
DO NOT ever point out Duncan there bro.... I can see what you are talking about with Parker at times, but they clogged the lane! Coaching should have helped some there to free him up! Duncan usually showed up for battle, do not go there with him bro! He was there alot of times till the bitter end.

Pop's system allows for the team to remain highly compe ive for short (and not so short) periods of time no matter who's out, this has been proven over and over again over the years.
credit to pop as well, his system is solid. but i like how he tells the players even when they are up 25 to play like they are 10 down.. u dont see many coaches talkin like that
well bulls are a non issue either way without d rose, but the point that daf was makin was that spurs were missin their big 3 and still got the w
if u have a strong structured system and good chemistry you can beat teams when ur team has no superstar, look at teh bulls last season when rose went down and they started to continue winning games without him..
it begs the question if good team structure can win games, then why most teams/orgs arent doing it? u dont need superstars to be compe ive...
criticizing parker for not being as good as lebron or prime duncan...
bulls tanked after rose went down...didnt philly beat them in the playoffs? the only team i thought didnt really have that "superstar" player and had a chance was memphis last year.. but they have leveled off imo
His career average against the Lakers in the playoffs is 16 points on 41 percent shooting. And yeah, he did beast against LA in '04. The first two games. Then Phil packed the paint, taking away his driving lanes, and he himself.
Parker has not been historically good against the Lakers. He's had a few good games, but never managed a dominant, or even very good, performance for an entire series.
the only chance parker to be on that level of superstar PG is to be a hero volume scorer with high efficiency,
nash 2nd mvp is a good example, high efficiency and relative good stats
yet i dont see why parker cant win mvp or be in the discussion as a superstar if his carrying the burden of the scoring load of the spurs...even that scrub iverson was mvp one time being a volume scorer than being ur traditional pass first mentality pg...
thabo says hi to parker for making a name for himself shutting him down
Inb4 Latarion Milton tries to pretend Parker is barely a top 10 PG, and only because a couple PGs are injured right now.
Steve Blake > All PG's... FACT.
cpflop is the closest thing to a superstar PG leading a team to win a ring imho. His game and dominance are more fitted than TP's game to achieve that.
Saying that TP is clearly under rated, some spurs fans consider he is not the best pg in his team and hate him for no obvious reason except for timvpdpoty who basically consider that tp stole a final mvp to tim duncan like it is fault nba gave this recognition to him.
I agree with midgnight on the fact he is a fringe superstar if you consider a superstar is going to get his numbers no matter what you throw at him but as already mentioned if the point is to say that TP is not 2011 dirk, 2006 wade, 2012 lebron... there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Now the most amazing stuff about TP is that dude is improving his game every year, he is working his ass off to get better, listen his coach, respect the franchise player (he recently said again that this team will be tim's team until he retires), gives everything he has during a game (he run like a beep beep all over the floor on a night basis and go inside challenge the big boys) and has a humble approach of the game. He should be a fan favorite and he is clearly right now one of the best quality / cost balance of the nba.
If by "closest" you mean conference semis.
I mean he is the one who has the tools to do it not saying he will
it's not parker's fault you guys expect him to carry the team, dude is not the right guy that you can count on to step up at big times and there's a reason the french national team is such a failure despite having those NBA players. you're gonna need duncan to trim a few years off his mileage in order to get sort of a serious push for the championship this year tbh
Let's be real, Parker has been very fortunate to have Pop, Duncan, and Manu during his career.... CP3 is carrying the worst coach in the league to a top 3 record in the West, I strongly doubt the Clippers would be anywhere near as good with TP instead of CP3...
The Spurs go as far as Duncan and Manu take them. Not Parker.
The amazing part is TP9 is doing all of this within our system. What would his stats be if he were the man on a marginal team where he could get volume shots? 25-30ppg? 9-10apg?
This team is amazing.
not this year silly you
That hasn't been true for three years.
At the same time, that has hurt him as far as numbers/recognition go...it works both ways. TP has had to defer more.
Yes it has which is why they haven't won it all.
Of course it is. Parker won't beat Miami or OKC. They need Duncan and Manu to go off.
