Tony Parker is a fake superstar..

[Josepatches_]

I'm not able to find all these people tired of the Spurs fans in the "Manu sucks" threads. No harmstring excuse for Manu, no blame Pop instead of him for his plays.....


Tony played awful tonight and not much better in game 6 . He averaged around 15 ppg and 40% FG in the Finals. Like or not He was one of the keys why we lost the Finals

Even in Manu's best game Tony outscored him.

Tony is the only reason we don't get swept starting with game 1.

Tony gave it all he had on 1 leg, I have no complaints with his play or effort. He made the plays that should have won Timmy his fifth ring...Pop and Manu negated his hard work and handed Miami the championship on a silver ing platter.

[Budkin]

Tony got us here... he just couldn't get us all the way.

[Johnny RIngo]

Tony is a of a PG he is just not a great player.. He got to play with one of the all time legends and he can basically thank Tim for those 3 rings..

But he is and always will be just short of great.. As this series proved..

He's not even on Pau Gasol's level as a player. If he was, Spurs would have beaten the Heat in six.

[Fernando TD21]

He is a star, he isn't a superstar. Lebron James, Duncan, Kobe and Shaq on their prime, those are superstars. Tony is a great player but just not quite at that level.

6-23 FG, had 2 clutch shots the rest was pretty bad. He went hero-ball trying to get MVP that night, he missed open teammates and tried to shoot over Lebron every chance he had.

He laid a huge egg in game 6 and negating that makes you sound like an idiot.

[TheGreatYacht]

I didn't like the way he handled this series. He tried to play too much like a superstar and often ignored open teammates. I also didn't like his comments to the media.

But his performance was not that bad. He played hurt and was still somewhat effective. He made a few clutch plays that could've decided the series. It just didn't work out. Part of that was Tony, but part of that was also poor game-planning. No way the Heat should've gotten away with James are Parker as much as they did.

Best comment of this thread. Ever since the hamstring injury, Parker's jump shot began to get worse as the series went along. I don't think it's fair that he is constantly being defended by a bigger guy: Sefolosha, Klay Thompson, and then Lebron. Not fair.

going from best PG in the league entering into the finals to a mere fake superstar

[milkyway21]

enough of not playing 100!

driving into big men? waiting for screens? I never been so disappointed in my entire life watching the Spurs than the way Tony played in game 7.
He can do it in regular /season games but in the finals? messed up game 6 & game 7.

HE IS SELFISH !

[boutons_deux]

It would sound like an excuse if Tony or other Spurs say he was playing hurt, so I hope we don't hear that.

But I really wonder how, if he was hurt enough to affect his games 6,7 so much. For a guy without much natural ability, no physical grace (layups off both feet? wrong foot?), he's come a long way, but he's missing some smarts, and maybe not enough ability for the biggest stage.

[Duncanforthree]

Fitting thread I suppose since the OP is a fake Spurs fan.

[Texas_Ranger]

I don't know how can some of you defend him just cause he was injured. If he was that hurt he wouldn't been able to play selfish hero ball. He wanted the finals MVP, you could see it and with his stupid ball hogging he cost us a chance to win game 6.

Blaming one player for that Game 6 loss is just ridiculous.

I'll assume that you did not see that Game 6 because if you did, you're just a stupid Slovenian hater

[romain.star]

Why did TP say in his press conference after game 5, " I wonder why they are leaving him wide open?" First of all it suggests that Danny Green's record breaking shooting was not as great as people were saying. Secondly, it guaranteed the end of Green's run. He was throwing his own teammate under the bus imo.

Parker only suggested that Danny Green is one mother er 3 points shooter. And he was damn right.

Wait... are you seriously saying that the Heat needed this comment from Parker to realise that Green was killing them from beyond the arc?

I don't blame the guy. Manu was even worse. But you don't just start ball hogging when you can't hit the whole game. If I blame someone it's Pop who put Tim on the bench 2 times when we needed a rebound.

"he cost us a chance to win Game 6" --> "I don't blame the guy"



Do you understand what you write?

[ducks]

He is a superstar. He got shut down though. No need to be angry with him. We're not in game 7 of the finals in it till the last minute with Tony Parker.

No need to make threads like this though. You're not en led to have your team win when they're not the best (or even when they are). The Spurs played their hearts out tonight. What ore can you ask for?

james a a much bigger and stronger guy he is going against and he has one hamstring
atleast he did not force alot of shots in game 7

[ducks]

Why is a guy with what is apparently a "severely injured" hamstring trying to beat Lebron and chucking instead of passing it to Duncan inside or Leonard against Chalmers/Miller?..

he only took one shot in second half

[z0sa]

Disagree. TP played great all things considered. But the reality is that this team still only goes as far as as Timmy can carry them.

[Stabula]

Parker didn't transform into the MVP everyone hoped this year. Too bad I thought he legitimately had a shot at being regular season AND finals MVP this year.

[ducks]

hamstring injury

[baseline bum]

this thread. Parker's hamstring and stamina were . If he was healthy at all there's no way he doesn't play 45 minutes last night like Duncan and Leonard, instead of the 36 he ended up with. GFY Harlem.

Pretty much because in some way he is more of an idiot than the average Spurs, and thought, that having green properlly covered he would have more opportunities to score.
The next two games were 2 of the worst shooting games of his career.

[CosmicCowboy]

you cheesy ass bandwagon fans. Spurs just took the best team in the NBA right to the wire in the last minutes of a game 7 finals.

[r-nice]

I found that strange too. Not to say the Heat weren't going to focus on him going forward anyway, but Tony Parker pointing it out didn't help.
