    What? First off its not like hes doing much on offense, hes disappearing on that side for long periods at a time. Apparently hes struggling to use his speed advantage over the same guy that easily uses his size advantage on the other end (Thompson). Secondly, no he shouldnt be doing that in the 4th quarter when the Spurs are trying to mount a comeback...go look at the tape, once the Spurs got within single digits Mark Jackson went right at Parker. Thats how they held the Spurs off, basically by trading baskets down the stretch.
    Maybe the simple reason why Jackson is doing that is because he knows Parker is typically will be worn out in the 4th quarter. The best strategy is to beat the worn out player and prevent him from scoring by making him play defence.

    Thompson is having a way better post season than Sefolosha. I think someone might have actually had to have ingested crack in their disgustingly fat be@nermom's womb to think he isn't just as good or even a little better.

    Curry said before the series his toughest matchup was Parker. The Spurs are bailing him out by allowing him to not play defense. They've got to figure out that to even the matchup and allow TP to be TP.

    Spurs have got to let Parker guard Barnes one-on-one. I'd rather they run the offense through Barnes than Thompson or Curry any day.

    This is so re ed. By that logic shouldnt Parker use his speed advantage over Klay, and shouldnt Klay be tired and not have anything left in the tank for offense?

    The comparison is strictly about defense you moron.

    Kori Ellis timvp can yall reprimand this for his racism too, please. Thanks.

    It is not re ed if you consider Parker is hurt/worn down coming into this playoffs. He has been playing unbelieveably for the whole season and that's the reason Spurs get to play Lakers in Round 1. Thompson is younger and obviously not worn down coming into this playoffs.

    Have you considered the reason why Spurs lost is because there is only one day between the 1st 2 games, and that the team is mostly all veterans who took longer to recover. Case in point, Manu and Tim, haven't been stellar in this first 2 games.

    He's not playing well on offense because they are going at him so hard. That's why he needs to not be trying to play bulldog defense for the entire game. Obviously excluding late in the 4th quarter.

    Parker's defense is nowhere near the #1 problem, so I don't see the point in harping on it like he cost us the game. Klay Thompson going 8-9 from three and scoring 34 points while Green/Neal going a combined 6/21 (28.5%) might be the bigger problem. Not Parker's defense on Jack who has been contained in both games or Curry who got held to 22/4/4 on 35% shooting in game 2.

    Thompson has killed us both games. That's the real problem defensively. And that isn't a guy Parker is supposed to be responsible for.

    Yeah man, I don't get why people are doing that. Our team is in trouble, there's no question about that. . .but Parker is not near the top of the priority list on stuff I would fix. Some people here expect he should be able to guard guys half a foot taller than him.



    I didn't say he was draped all over Jack, I was providing an example of how the way in which a guy gets his numbers matters more than the numbers themselves. They're more of an indicator of the numbers they will put up in the future. Parker wasn't leaving Jack wide open, he was playing him fairly well. Sometimes guys just hit. It happens.

    As for the hands up thing, that's how the Spurs usually play defense. They're trying to play D without fouling. It isn't like they're stacked with athleticism and size and can play athletic defense like the Grizzlies and Bulls. Hate to say it, but Parker needs to conserve his energy when on defense because barely anyone else on the team can handle the ball anymore. Manu has declined so much that he is unreliable now. Parker should only be just staying in front of people and forcing them to take somewhat contested 18-20 footers. Not trying to get blocks or some and wearing himself out so he goes 5-20 every night.
    Why are they trying to play D without fouling? Look at CHI - they don't care how many fouls they lay on MIA - they're not going to allow MIA to push them around. I say foul them a lot - then do hack-a-Bogut - that'll affect their interior defense and TP can penetrate. This trying to not foul is for the birds and encourages their free-flowing offense. If Pop is going to play Bonner and Neal, put them to use, make them foul whoever's wearing out TP and slow down the game.

    I think he's done fine against jack but hes just one luck chuck mother er hopefully that cools off. I mean can they continue to take so many low percentage shots and keep hitting them? I would say no. However they need to never leave curry or thompson everyone else we can live with. If they drive let Timmy and Tiago take care of them and most important make them pay.

    Agreed, we have defensive muscles in there somewhere, we've seen it in the 2nd half of both games. We just need to flex those muscles from the start and use all of our bench fouls in the process.

    On Tony, it's obvious he's not 100% movement wise which affects his mobility on defense.

    Also agree about Thompson, let Curry get his but stop Thompson and the game opens up. He's the reason we won the 1st game (by fouling out) and why they won the 2nd game (by not fouling out.)

    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

    Yeah play a slow wing against Thompson. That would've worked...
