What makes the injuries extra frustrating is that TD looks so damn good physically ...
... but the fact that Tony Parker looks terrible physically has me wondering whether the Spurs can get out of the first round. Parker's numbers were great in his return but, like I said at the time, he didn't look good physically. Tonight he was moving even worse, lacked any semblance of speed and had no explosion at the rim.
Unless Parker recovers in the next week, things ain't lookin' good.

I'm just hoping Parker doesn't want to go all out to the hoop until it matters.... but the fact that Tony Parker looks terrible physically has me wondering whether the Spurs can get out of the first round.

It would look pretty foolish if he injured himself on some kamikaze drive unless it's in a playoff game.
The scary thing, too, is that he's playing Steve Blake. He's not exactly getting shut down by Sefolosha and his defense on Blake has been pretty awful, too.
If he's still injured, then sit him until the playoffs. We need him in the playoffs.
We need Manu, too, of course.
YOU HAD ONE JOB SAN ANTONIO! ONE DAMNED JOB! Now we can't make fun of the Lakers for not making the playoffs with their bloated payroll.
It looked like he was pretty hesitant to go full speed. I think there were a couple of times where he had an angle to the basket and could have blown by Blake and instead just passed it out. IDK if that's because he can't or because he is still wary about injuries.
Yep, it's pretty disheartening.
The offense has absolutely no fluidity.. the defense looks pretty good at times but no one rotated to jamison when he hit those 3 3s to really spark the win. i'm pretty nervous now. i thought to myself if they win this game, it's a major pick-me-up for them and they might gain some traction despite some cir stances. i'm veerrrry worried now
How does this loss not bother you? For health reasons, rotation reasons and confidence reasons? Why play the main guys if it means nothing?
The fact that Tony isn't closing out this game tells a bipolar story.
Either the Spurs don't really want the win (at which point, why is Timmy in?) or he is not ready for the playoffs...
spurs are coasting straight to an early vacation
The Lakers announcer just said that Tony Parker "aggravated his pride..."
spurs are terrible
This is now shaping up to be a complete collapse across the board, with Duncan being the only (healthy) person in the whole organization who's acquitting himself.
For real. There is nothing positive to say about this Spurs team other than Tim Duncan is playing well.
Spurs playing like and it doesn't matter if tp looks healthy or not
Parker looks like to be at 50% at best tbh.
You scared or something? But in all seriousness, Houston has a shot to knock out the Lakers.
OKC isn't losing either of their last two so this game was meaningless and we played like it. Game meant everything to the Lakers. Parker looks absolutely off. I'd shut everyone down in the GS game and pray TP gets better.
I agree with your assessment of Parker's struggles. And I'm also becoming increasingly annoyed with Gary Neal. Let's hope we can get it together, and........... injuries or not, for gods sake can we please have a set rotation??
Is anyone really surprised when your top 3 players are 30, 35, and 36?
spurs are done, id be happy if they get out of the first round at this point
tp looked and wasnt moving well like he did vs Thunder, even against the kings he scored but he didnt look great physically
I dont think we gonna we seeing vintage tony in the POs at all
Sad sad way to end the season, another disappointing year
it bothers me! we owed the lakers one, eliminating them from the PO would have been sweet. can't believe we coughed this up, especially with duncan going all out
he's probably soar... but still really disgusted by his lack of balls out their...
walkover?
Parker's injury has destroyed the Spurs offense, unfortunately, and they haven't recovered..
I was hopeful they would find their rhythm once Tony got healthy, but it doesn't appear that he's going to be even 80% for the playoffs..
If Parker is playing at just an above average level, which has been the case since his return, the Spurs have Duncan(star) and a bunch of role players, especially since Leonard hasn't been utilized properly by Pop..
