The F is for Finals
What a game, especially considering it was a close out game on the road! LOL at anyone who doesn't consider him the best point guard in the league. Its not even close anymore.

wow that's awesome, LBJ 15 though that's pretty incredible
Not many players get as many play off games as Tony Parker has played in. Those points each game add up.
1. It's not about just putting someone bigger and a better on ball defender on Parker. The Spurs offensive sets are designed to make the defense decide how to help. Look at what just happened to the Grizz plan to defend him with Tony Allen.
2. Parker played just as good a game in game 3. The Grizz tried slamming him on screens with both defenders. So he passed. 18 assists later, a win. So in game 4 they went back to more normal defense. Boom, 37 points. Tony is just taking what the defense is giving him. He reads defenses like a quarterback.
3. I'll post again what I posted after game 3. What the happened to DPOY Marc Gasol? He was terrible on help and on the ball screen defensive schemes. And once again Duncan beat him down the floor for a key easy layup.
Not going to win it all without Speed Claxton, TBH.
He's not around, but I heard Derek Fisher is looking for something to do.
Goddamn if he can keep this up we really have a chance.
TP was great tonight. But the guy i was worried about was Splitter. As great as TP was, I have to give up to Tiago. Tiago is the reason we won this series, IMHO.
Tony Parker was fkn amazing tonight. BIG props to him, he came out with the mentality that they were closing this out tonight...
Tony hit that crucial three pointer when The Grizz were making their last run with 2 defenders running out to cover him.
Plus he made all his free throws down the stretch!!
Fudgecakes, why can't I see this!!! At least by quoting I can copy the link.
The spurs are in the NBA ING FINALSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I CANT F BELIEVE THIS TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
If only France had Tony Parker during WWII
If TP and Manu eliminate that 'drive hard into the paint and kick out to the four waiting other team guys late in the game plays' no team would get close.
Has anyone taken a look at Tony's 4th quarter scoring splits? I bet they're scary.
Also, feels like Memphis is the team he's hit the most 3s against this season... I remember when he hit a 3 to force OT...
He is right to credit his guys making screens. He come back and forth behind the screen and in doing so Splitter and to a lesser degree Duncan do a great job in getting the angle where its full on body versus getting on someones hip. Its like the POA on an NFL running play and some FB are better than others. Splitter is perhaps the best combination of pnr offense and defense.
Wow. Holy cow! Thanks dude!
But that's a pretty impressive company to keep tbqh. Who know, by the time Tony wraps up his career, he'll be a close to top 10, or maybe even in it.
Same way it is for Timmy, right? Although Timmy has more games than Tony because he played so many before Tony got here.
But please, keep trying to minimize his accomplishment. It doesn't make you look small at all.
The F stands for "formidable", in French of course.
I don't know if anyone has already mentioned this, but Elias Sports reports that:
Tony Parker, in the four games against Memphis put up 98 points and 38 assists. The only other player in NBA HISTORY who reached those figures for a team that swept a best -of-seven playoff series was Jerry West, (who turns 75 this Tuesday). West had 114 points and 40 assists in the Lakers sweep of the Bulls in a Western Conference semifinal in 1972.
Again, sometimes we really don't recognize the great among us.
So, if/when Tony has a bad game against the winner of the East Conference, is he going to get trashed again? You betcha!!!
