apalisoc_9, SpursFan313 stop with the insults, thanks.

Tony put the team on his mf back and and Manu(he tripped on the play where ray Allen got open for three smfh) and Pop pissed it away

[TheGreatYacht]

You should read better.

The OP isn't bashing Manu. It's saying that Manu is more loved than Tony.

It's true that Manu is more loved/liked than Tony and you can't say it's because he has had a significant more important contribution to Spurs this past decade.

Reasons why Manu is more liked are quite obvious:
- Manu is more fun to watch play for a lot of people.
- Manu is a more likable people with a more likable personality.
- Manu speaks Spanish.

I see no reason to clsoe this thread unless it turns into an insult contest between Manu's and Tony's fans.

95% of yach'ts thread are Manu hating threads..This has an ulterior motive..But whatever you say.

Also, I made a thread about the similar topic a couple of months ago..I don't understand why he doesn't just post there...You delete most of my threads whenever it's remotley close to a Tony doesn't pass the ball to kawhi leonard thread..

This one is in the other 5%, so far...

Well, there is a big difference between someone starting a thread about a subject talked by another poster a couple of months ago and between a poster doing a thread on the same subject after each game.

Pretty sure you deleted a thread I made about Kawhi linking it to a three month old thread..

It's cool though..Whatever makes "upstairs" free of non-sensical talking.

I do admit I tend to go overboard at times though. Sorry.

I'd bet if only Americans posted, there'd be no Parker/Ginobili feuds. lol Nationalism.

[BadOne]

I like Kawhi but tbfh Parker wouldn't have missed that free throw.

I thought we had it in the bag, but Kawhi missing that free throw isn't what ruined it IMO. Parker and Danny Green had a 2 on 1 situation against Ray Allen at one crucial point, and instead of passing the ball to Danny Green, Parker opted to hold it, prompting Allen to coral him and purposefully foul him. Sadly, Parker did in fact go 1 of 2 at the line during that session.

I think that's what killed it. That and Pop leaving Timmy on the bench when Bron went for the hero 3 shot and missed, only to have Bosh rebound it. The rest...well, we all know.

edit: lol why would he try to snag a rebound from Chris Bosh instead of sticking to his man idk

You should ban him..

yeah you didn't watch the last couple of playoffs then..kawhi has been more clutch than Manu and Tony combined.

GTFO..

Leonards free throw shooting was atrocious in the post season. Especially against the warriors. dropping 16% FT from the regular to the post season. He also missed a free throw in game 6 and missed a board as well.

-37 points against Memphis at Memphis,a team that was 3rd in defensive rating.
-Hit game clincher in game 1 of the Finals
-Scored 25 on a bum hammy in game 5 of the finals
-Score 5 points that put us in position to win the le late in the 4th.

I been showing MVParker love. Its a no brainer. this team goes as far as Parker takes them. No ifs ands or buts.

He had a very Kobe-like series - meaning he hit a few clutch shots but shot poorly overall. Our "MVP" averaged 15 ppg on a horrific .472 TS%. That's flat out embarrassing. People want to blame his hamstring but what the was he doing taking all those shots if his hammy was hindering his performance. Those shot attempts should have been going towards Duncan or Kawhi...both of whom were much more efficient than Parker.

Replace Parker with Chris Paul or Curry and Spurs beat Miami in five or six games last year.

MVParker hasn't take us anywhere. Choked against the Grizzlies in 2011. Choked against the Thunder in 2012. Choked against the Heat in 2013. Point guards don't lead teams to championships and Parker's proof of this. We had a shot last year thanks to a resurgent Tim Duncan.

Parker did hit that game winner in game one though and put us in position to win game 6....... Oh yeah Isiah and Magic would like to have a word with you sir! I know they were special players but seriously. Billups as well in 04 as their MVP of the finals but that was a good team.

19.5 ppg on 46% shooting vs. the Grizzlies is choking? Who knew

[Johnny RIngo]

19.5 ppg on 46% shooting vs. the Grizzlies is choking? Who knew

It's underwhelming compared to what his direct rivals were doing that same post-season:

Paul averaged 22/11/7 on 54% shooting in the first round in 2011. Rondo averaged 19/12/7 on 50% in the first round that year. They scored efficiently AND created for their teammates.

Story of Parker's career. Play like an efficient badass in the regular season(.551 TS%) then the bed when you have to play against playoff level defenses(.516 TS%). Compare that to Paul who's efficiency doesn't drop from reg season to post-season.

...When Manu has a good game, people on here "pop one" but when Parker has good games they "turn the cheek" the other way. Just because he's not latino, people sleep on him. I bet that dork with the Kanye pic wont show up tonight lol.

Here's a tread to appreciate the greatness of Tony Parker.

I agree that TP deserves many accolades and appreciation threads. He's a 5-time NBA All-Star, 3-Time NBA Champ, Finals MVP, Eurobasket Champ and MVP, & likely Hall of Famer. He is a star.

A bit of a mixed metaphor there with "turn the cheek the other way" but, no big deal. It brought a chuckle.

Although Manu made lots of costly mistakes, I don't see trying to snag the rebound as one of them. Manu had switched off of Ray Allen when he was back-picked by Wade. So Manu had Wade & Danny Green had Allen. Allen started to jump for the rebound, also but really, it was a scramble and Allen was Danny's man at that point.

[Brazil]

Out of trolling purposes, hero ball stuff makes no sense whatsover... Parker is our best offensive player, I do hope he shoots the dam ball a lot yes. On top of that, show me a chucker or hero baller with +.500 FG... I'll wait.

Does that mean dude is perfect ? no of course not, Parker has his flaws but except for Lebron and such who has not ? yeah sometimes he wants to do too much, I take that as a I want too much to help the team and I have difficulties to trust team mates more than I want to be a hero.

On the long list of apocalis9 whatever bs the "parker was pissed off regarding DG attention in the finals" is probably the worst stuff I read so far in this board and that's saying a lot.

[pgardn]

He is the best player on the team. The most deserving of allstar recognition. But he cheated on Eva, hungout at a rapper fight and got glass in his eye, lays on the floor clutching his head after fouls, etc.... So people don't like him even though he is our MVP.

There has to be something to gripe about with a team who plays the best team basketball in the league.
