Parker was 6/26 that game, and he could made 26/26 but his playing hurts the team badly, I hate him as a point guard, dude would love to be a 6´5¨ SG and plays like one, every time he has the ball fools around and at last second if he doesnt see the shot gives you a horrible pass with no time to think, most times the ending is a big brick.
I dont care if this forum is full of trolls idiots or genius like you, there are lots of guys here who hate Porker and I am one of them.
No rings since 2007 and time is sleeping away with stubborn Pop.
The 'no rings' argument no longer holds any weight IMO. If either Kawhi or Manu go 2/2 at the line we have a ring, so to call out Pop, Parker or whoever because we haven't won a championship is nonsense. If you wanna call out Manu or Kawhi for choking those freebies, or Pop for not having Timmy in for the defensive rebounding then go ahead, but this team lead by Parker was good enough to win a championship last year.
This lack of defense and rebounding has been atrocious when we play teams with length which happen to be potential playoff teams we could play. It's that horrible help defense where they sag off three point shooters to protect the rim but we are leaving guys wide open for shots or giving them way too much space to put it on the floor and suck in the defense. We have Tiago and Tim who are solid interior defensive players but Pop doesn't tryst them enough to make the play. I would rather contest every shot and play man, this is a defense we are sticking too, don't see any indication of them changing this style anytime soon. We are only hoping teams miss shots. We do not go hard enough on rebounds either we stand around hoping the ball will fall into our hands.
tbh aside from defensive problems, the biggest issue is that we (or pop) have been undermining our young players that should use the regular season to improve themselves. Instead they play a lot less minutes and Joseph (a valuable asset in last years playoffs sans miami) has faallen completely out of the rotation. not cool.
I agree, but Kawhi is our best defender and rebounder after Timmy, it's not possible to be 100% in those areas without him. Rebounds really killed us tonight, Kawhi makes a huge difference there.
Of course it holds an argument, you cant live in the past, there was no 2/2.
But you keep saying the same and 2007 was a thousand years ago, parker was good enough to make 6/26 in game 6 so hero ball was no good enough to get the championship, and game 7 was horrible my friends keep laughing at me telling me how bad Porker was and , they were so right dude was attacking the rim to get blocked 1068 times like he was the savior, you will never see that because when you see him play you see his points, but behind that there is a team bleeding.
Don't forget Danny Green being 99% useless on offense in games 6 and 7. What was it like 1 for 18 from downtown in those games? Pathetic. If he could've shot even a fraction better we have 5 trophys. Parker sucking it up didn't help either, and yes, as a die-hard Manu fan I agree that for the most part he was not helpful.
oh and of course don't forget Tiago sucking big time against Miami. That guy should have been eating Miami's bigs for lunch. Pretty effing disappointing. I pictured that with Tiago and Timmy on the floor at the same time we would kick Miami's sorry ass. Sadly only one of them showed up (and almost made up for Tiago's lousy performance)
Parker vs OKC in 2012...
It's December and the Spurs were without their best perimeter defender.
Having Kawhi would've allowed Green to guard Westchuck and/or Jackson...pretty sure they both wouldn't have gone off. It being December, the team isn't panicked... the coaches are still experimenting nightly with the rotation.
Step back from the cliff.
But we did change it when it mattered. Last playoffs, when we played Golden State, we changed the perimeter coverage quite dramatically from Game 1 to Game 4,5,6... then we went back to our interior defense against Memphis.
You're just not going to see that on the regular season. We don't play the same team 4-5 times in a row and frankly, we're working on a different set of goals. I was much more concerned when the Spurs were ranked 10th overall in defense regardless of who we played.
There's obviously more work to do on that end. I actually been fairly disgusted with Tonys defensive effort so far, but I also think it has more to do with resting those legs more than anything else, and that's fine. But if you're already a top 5 defensive team overall, the amount of work you need to do to take it up a notch is much less than if you're average.
Like I said, not really worried right now
I'm more concerned about Danny Green's apparent regression. Absolutely no improvement on the offensive side of the ball whatsoever.
Joseph has played several minutes the last few games, Ayres has been wearing out the court, and Baynes (not Splitter) got the start the other night with Duncan out.
I'm not sure what games you've been watching.
That's where we disagree. His play in the finals was good enough to win a championship, because we lost it based on things completely out of his control. If he plays exactly the same way but Kawhi and Manu make their free throws in Game 6 we win a le.
So take my hypothetical that we make those free throws, something that Parker has no effect on, and we won. Does that mean Parkers identical series goes from not good enough to good enough?
Similarly look at the Ray Allen 3. A make or miss there decides the championship, but its all on him. It has no effect on how well Lebron, Parker, Timmy or anyone else played, so why use the outcome of that play to judge those players when they had nothing to do with it?
As long as he's not afraid to keep on shooting, I don't have a problem with him. Plus now you can fall back to Belli if he's not sharp on the defensive side either. He does makes me nervous when he handles the rock though.
OP likes the penis. That is all.
I'm only worried because he thinks he's improved from last year. I'm actually fine with the 3&D role he plays. He should focus more on hitting his threes and less on his woeful dribble-drive game.
Yeah, I think we talked about that when I was really pissed at Manu but right now in a new season new chances story Im worried about Green, Kawhi, and Tiago.
Manu is playing good moving the ball assisting the young guns, but if we dont have a decent Green Marco should make everything for him, Kawhi was solid and now is like dust and Tiago cant jump 2 inches off the floor and gets blocked all time, Also I dont understand how Mills plays just a few minutes dude has spark and can score lots of points but Pop is not giving him minutes, he is not a machine you can put to make 4 treys in 2 minutes and then return it to bench.
I dont know why he is afraid of eating some Porker minutes, if Patty is the 2nd guard he needs more minutes to improve his game he is worlds better than Cojo.
Also another worrying factor are rebounds.
Is to regression or non-improvement? He's still shooting 40% from 3 which is enough to be effective. He is never going to be more than a 3&D player
I'm with Nono (and others)...not worried about this loss. My only worry still remains will Parker have enough in the tank for a long playoff run.
We pretty much cannot afford a Parker injury of any sort no matter how minor once we start inching closer to the start of the playoffs.
To respond you last question= because of the outcome of that play they played a game 7 and Parker was missing in action.
Even if those freebies were in Parker sucks he is not a true PG he thinks in himself first, if those freebies were good Green would be the MVP not TPork and that would kill him.
I dont like selfish players in a team game dude sucks, Steve Nash or Chris Paul would be so much better here.
If you think Tony plays lousy D, then I don't know how you'd cope with Steve Nash...
Because Steve Nash is a better point guard better playmaker, Im talking about prime Nash, not the guy sleeping in Lakers games.
