bad back, IMO. Non-Issue.
He looks like he lost 5 steps this summer. He's lost that speed edge that was his best asset. And his midrange will never be able to carry a team to a championship.
What do you think? Trade him if we don't win it this year? He'll only get slower.

He has admitted that he's tired according to Bruno and other posters IIRC..
He played Summer ball after an NBA Finals run, he's obviously exhausted..it's time for Pop to put him on the Duncan rest plan, tbh..
I assumed this would be the plan and Kawhi would be running more offense this year, but Pop has decided to continue running Parker into the ground, which is puzzling IMO..
Everyone can tweak a back or get tightness.. Just part of the game.
Yes he is
Man time is flying. I remember posts back in the day like "Parker is only 23", "but Parker is only 24" or "Parker is not even in his prime yet." Now threads like this are popping up. The years are just flying by.
He can rest after the WCF, OKC will be tough to beat...Portland, not so much.
During the rockets b2b run, they rested Hakeem for about a month 2 months before the playoffs both years. Gave him some a fake injury, then got a month to shake off the rust and was recharged for the playoff push.
Lol, dude went bananas on Monday but now all the sudden he's too old. He's definitely tired, but Parker has 3-4 good years left. Spurs are going to give him an extension for three more years this offseason; no doubt in my mind.
parker is playing less minutes except for his rooking season
that is also why his numbers are lower
his per 36 jeff McDonald said was same as last season
Heck, I was a Highschool freshman during his rookie year. And now, I'm 4 years out of college already. Can't believe time flies this quick
This is thread worthy.
I WOULD have to fully agree here, damn time does go by fast.
Here come the trade-a-holics, one bad game and they're ready to trade off the whole team.
Because Kawhi has been out for WEEKS? Could that be the reason?
Not a fake injury, but rather respect/concern for Hakeem's health during Ramadan (a month of fasting).
I remember this as well. The changes in his diet caused some actual healthi issues related to his heart and/or his circulation. He could not go the full 82 in several seasons because of this and like you guys said he even missed some long stretches of games.
Doesn't add up. Ramadan is in late June thru July. That's offseason, even for champs.
Being an infidel, I do not know the Muslim schedule, but there may be more than one period of fasting? I'm just guessing, but Hakeem's shut downs were a result of something related to his fasting.
According to wiki, Ramadan shifts ten or twelve days back every year. In '94, the fasting period would have started on Feb 12. In '95, the fasting period would have stated on Feb 1.
Does everyone here seriously believe he is as explosive as he was last year (pre ankle injury when he was an MVP candidate), or the year before, or the year before?
He's noticeably slower.
Falling down with every layup attempt for 10 straight years has caught up to him.
Even last season he was pretty much gassed every other game of the post season or had some nagging injury that hampered him. He is not going to be able to carry the offense on his shoulders much longer and Pop really hasn't done much to groom Leonard for the role so I'm really wondering just where the offense is going to come in that starting unit.
Nah just exhausted.
I don't see any "Manu is too old" threads after he gets hurt 3 times a year
I see ST is still 80% latino homers..
