Tim Duncan was our best player in the finals.
Its about holding your best player accountable.
If the Heat lose we have a summer of Bron being crucified.
That how Sports work. The "best player" gets the praise when they win and the criticism when they lose
Tim Duncan was our best player in the finals.
Parker at least showed up and didn't shoot us in the foot like Ginobili did. 45 assists/15 turnovers. 3/1 ratio is excellent, especially for a dude playing on a bad hammy. Ginobili: 12 turnovers in last 2 games alone and barely half the total assists for the series. Not to mention less points on a crappier FG% and barely showing up in the first 4 games, having one good game, then ting the bed the game after to us.
It'd be dumb to fault Parker when he was good throughout the playoffs and was the only reliable perimeter playmaker on our entire team in the Finals. Dude had to carry a huge responsbility because everyone else was killing us when they handled the ball. Despite that, 3/1 assist/turnover ratio. People don't blame the guy 'cause he was good.
He will solely based upon les.
Phil Jackson (11)
Red Auerbach (9)
Pat Riley (5)
The guy nobody even knows, John Kundla (5)
and durrr
yeah it's Popovich next with 4
and unlike the other three, did it in a small market with limited funds. Unlike Auerbach and Kundla, he didn't do it in the 6 team era. So basically it's 2-3 dudes who are really above him, and Riley's only up by a single le.
Pop is at worst #4 all time.
God damn Spurs fan can be so ing dumb.
Parker hit the potential game winning shot in Game 1 to steal the game on the road. Parker hit that tough three point shot on Lebron in the 4th quarter of Game 6 to give us a 5 point lead with 28 seconds to go.
Manu on the other hand turned the ball over 8 times. Manu was the main reason why the game was even close. If he had played below average and not PATHETIC, Spurs would've won the game. He also missed that key free throw when everyone was counting on him to make it given the savvy veteran and good career FT shooter that he is.
Pop kept giving Manu the green light in the 4th quarter and OT and he still ed up. , Manu never really got going through out the playoffs. Senile Pop kept subbing players out when they would start to get in rhythm. Pop took out Timmy in those two last two possessions. There. Now STFU. Can't tell if you're a Popsucker or Manu fan boy. My guess is that you're probably both since both usually go hand in hand.

Pop could go the John Kundla route and no one would remember him that well.
Anyone blaming Parker has obviously not had a pulled hammy. What he was amazing against LeBron considering that. Then in the end he just said "I played bad" and never said a thing about it when he clearly was not 100%. That was just bad luck for us there, I think it is safe to say the pulled hammy cost us a le since we only needed one point. But we can single out a thousand plays that cost us a point so what is the point?
See my point?
What a ridiculous criticism of Parker. You do understand that he was the reason we were up by 5 with 28 seconds left in game 6. That 3 he hit over Lebron and him knifing his way into the paint only to stop and pivot the opposite direction for an easy floater. If we won that game that would have been playing on NBA TV for years to come.
Manu and Kawhi went a combined 2-4 in the final 35 seconds of the game from the free throw line. That cost us the game. He was battling a calf injury and came up with 19 in what should have been a close out game. You also forgot to mention he obliterated Miami in game 5 for 26 points.
His 37 points against Memphis at Memphis while being defended by the best back court in the NBA was equally impressive. Memphis was 2nd in defense but couldn't stop a 30 year old, 6'2, frenchman from making himself at home in their gym.
Or the 18 assists in 3 quarters of game 2. He ran out of game put no before making Marc Gasol look absolutely frustrated because of Parkers decision making. Finding teammates for easy looks around the rim that he couldn't even contest.
He also hit 2 absolutely clutch 3's in a close out game against GSW on the road after struggling to score for most of the game.
He did all he could, to win a le. You're acting like a Laker fan (ungrateful). Appreciate all he did this season, his 20pts, 7 asts, and 50%FG this season made him a legit MVP candidate and help keep the Spurs in le contention.
OP is a Popsucker/Manu , I don't expect him to comprehend our valid point of view.
You don't have a valid point of view, just more redundancy, Manu or Pop bashing, and if someone disagrees with you then you resort to labeling them.
Nope Tony Parker chokePERIOD
He was our leader the whole season but couldnt show up when we needed him the most.
People keep reminding that TP was hurt.
I honestly don't get how a certain select few want to place the blame on just a few individuals when it has been clearly shown that it was a combination of screw ups by the whole team!
Nope Im not one of these NASF. I seen this team win les. Anything short of that is a failure.
Make the playoffs. Win the last game you play. That's all I ask.
Don't care about the regular season anymore. Parker always chokes in the playoffs. Been like this since 01. And stealing TIm's 4th finals MVP sealed it for me.
You mean Bonner always chokes in the playoffs, don't you? That most will agree with.
Bonner wasn't getting hype to be a MVP candidate this season. Tony Parker choke end of the story. 6-23 in game 6.
He was ultra clutch actually since he won us the two closest game, not his fault Pop found a way to lose a game that's won 99 times out of 100.
That is an accurate stat, but do you think that he was the ONLY reason the Spurs lost?
I think you are reasonable enough to see it was the whole team for the most part. I mean, did they get all their rebounds, did they play error free ball, did they make all their easy shots, did they make all their free throws, did they deny the Heat easy buckets, did they make all their threes or keep the Heat from making theirs, and did they stick to the game plan and spread the floor on a consistent basis and pass the ball?
If you want a really good reason why they lost, it was forgetting to play the defense the way that got them there in the first place IMHO!
One fluke shot in game 1 means nothing. Parker choke. MVP all season but couldnt win one game when we needed him the most. 6-23 really parker?
Parker was consider the "best player all season. But he's gonna stab Duncan in the back and go 6-23 in game 6.
Yeah but lets blame Manu and Pop because our "best player" the bed.
Nope I agree with most posters that outside of Duncan and Kawhi EVERYONE the bed.
Parker is the one I point at because as the "leader" of this team he deserves most if not all of the blame.
And every time I check this forum its either a Manu or Pop hate thread on the 1st page. No one wants to blame Mr. 6-23.
I just don't see how you can pin all the blame on TP, especially when you can see how so many others made mistakes too, like Manu, Pop, Bonner (didn't even show up for the finals), Green, Kawhi, Tiago, Diaw, and etc.

They picked the one game to all make mistakes. And you have to give the Heat some credit too for playing some pretty good defense.
To blame it all on TP is as blind as blaming it all on Manu, or Pop.
The fact is the whole team the bed and quit playing Spurs basketball at the end, game 6 was theirs for the taking!
You full of bs! Yeah! all the blame should be divide equally between all spurs, ing idiot! No! there is no somebody who has more responsibility about this failer than the other! Please please start use your brain and stop fooling yourself...
Have you just totally lost your mind, or can you just not read?
That is what I just said, it was the whole team, even TD, who the bed, and not any one person over any other!
And to blame just one person for the loss is just totally blind and dense.
But I am not going to get into a pissing contest with you, because you really don't exist, you are a figment of your own imagination, and at best you are a

Geez, you are such a blind and delusional homer
Same old BS crap out of you. Take your blinders off and maybe then you might gain some credibility in your posts.
But all we get is the same old BS about it being only Manu and Pop at fault instead of the whole team. If you don't think TD made any mistakes, then you are just being dense and blind. They all made mistakes, the whole team.
But go ahead a spew your BS crap some more, because no reasonable people believe you anymore.
