+1 With Parker playing like this, we may not win another game.
F-
Is there anyone on GS he can guard? Doesnt matter if its Jack, Thompson, or Barnes theyre all abusing him. God knows how bad Curry would rape him if he defended him more than just small stretches. Dude is little more than a traffic cone out there. Killed any hope for a comeback.

he's usually solid against penetrating guards, but when guys can just shoot over him like Curry and Jack are doing, its tough to do anything. and its unfair to have him guard Thompson or Barnes considering the height disparity. that said, id like to make Barnes beat us
need to figure something out, tbh... it doesn't help Jackson keeps running the offense through whoever he's guarding... can't hide him when that happens.
No.. Watch some of those possessions on Jack. Tony did all he could do. When you take away his space, play physical, move your feet and contest the shot. That is good D and better O if it goes in..
LOL his defense was per his career. parker is not out there for his defense.
I rather lose a game with Jarett Jack and Green/Barnes bullying Parker than with Thompson + Curry shooting out of this world
Our 2nd half D was very good. Hopefully they an build on this.
How about the inept defense of Ginobili and Green leaving Thompson open constantly in the first half. Spurs need to put an entire game together and play team defense. It isn't on just one player, they need to all play well on both sides of the ball.
You cant be serious. The team defense was very solid the 2nd half, the Warriors stopped any kind of comeback because Jackson decided to go right at Parker for about 5 straight possessions. The times they didnt score the defense collapsed after being forced to help him out.
Its all made worse by the fact hes not taking advantage of having the bigger, slower Thompson defending him on the other end. Crumbling into the ball in the playoffs per par.
Thompson's build is almost identical to Sefolosha's, tbh.
Only 3 assists for Tony, too, though not that all of that is necessarily his fault due to missed open looks. Manu had 4 assists. The team only combined for 14 assists, which is awful.
Thompson isnt anywhere near the defender Sefolosha is.
I know, but in the past Parker has seemed unable to handle length well.
could bruce stop klay or steph? what do you guys think?
not just you
But in regular season quick grades, TP's defense is "great"
Parker is not the problem, it's our defense, leaving shooters open. the interior let them go off don't let Klay and Curry go off shooting without a hand in there face.
Parker's defense is fine. Curry is just really good. Thompson and Barnes are much taller. Sometimes you just gotta give proprs to the other team. Best bet at this point is to hide Parker on Barnes. Let the Warriors go to him on every position. I'd rather lose with him scoring 50 than the other guys.
What? Tony guarded Jack fine. Sometimes guys just hit tough shots that are defended well. He can't guard Thompson because he's so much taller than Tony. It's like how Dirk and Durant just shoot over everyone. Tony literally couldn't block that guy if he was in perfect position to do so and he jacked up a shot anyway.
He is 6'7" folks, Tony is 6'2" with an afro. Of course he can't guard him. He shouldn't be on him in the first place. And Barnes, he's even taller at 6'8".
Why would any of you expect Tony should be able to guard guys half a foot taller than he is? Green, Ginobili, and Leonard are supposed to guard those guys.
Because he has to guard somebody not named Bogut. And whenever Pop tries to hide him on Barnes, Jackson posts Barnes. Whenever Pop tells him to guard Curry, Jackson calls a Curry play. Whenever Pop hides him on Jack, Jackson calls Jack number. They're targeting him for the fact of what you described above: he can't guard any of those guys, and there's no one else to hide him on. It's a mismatch and Jackson is going non-stop at it.
If by fine you mean he got abused by him then yeah I guess he guarded Jack fine. Uh do you have any idea why Parker isnt on guarding someone his own size? Probably because Curry would go for 50 the way hes defending this series. Why doesnt Parker take advantage of his speed when the taller, slower Thompson is guarding him on the other end?
And that's fine..
Let Harrison Barnes shoot 30 times, stop double-teaming him, he'll get you 15-20 on bad efficiency, and he won't get his teammates involved..that's cool, tbh..
Winning a game down the stretch by going right at Parker is fine? The Spurs were scoring in the 4th, and the Warriors answered every single time by simply dumping the ball into the guy Parker was on. Thats how they stopped any sort of comeback.
IMO parker should guard curry, he didnt play him well in game 1 but the help from duncan wasnt there and curry shoot lights out
parker guarding thompson/barnes is a nightmare, you cant count on those guys just shooting over him all series
If he defends curry, you just gotta trust tp's on ball d and aggressive help defense and hope curry doesnt score 50 points
I have no problem with that, but the Spurs are wired to help... what's more, we're getting outrebounded (2 games in a row now, IIRC).
Jarrett Jack is a good player and he dominated Parker down the stretch tonight..I still wouldn't double him, which is my point..guys like Jack and Barnes are black holes that take inefficient shots..if they want to shoot 20-30 times, that's fine..
Parker obviously needs to play much better on both ends of the floor..
Thompson is probably the best defender for the warriors this series
Thompson is eating all our guards alive. It's not even funny. Too bad Stephen Jackson was waived
