They didn't need him to be a hero to take down OKC in Methlahoma or the Heat. A game manager at PG will do if they get into that kind of offensive groove again. The offense wasn't dependent on Enrique.
They need Kawhi though obviously.
We don't win a le without him.
Hope you don't mind.
No back to back unless he gets his speed back, it's that simple.

Parker is getting paid near a max contract lmao, and he may keep playing during the off season, causing him to decline even more. Of course a guy that's getting paid 13.5 million+ per year is going to have an impact, common sense lmao.
tp ia getting paid less them cp3 and much more points he could have gotten more
You asked for an instance. Here's one of many.

Btw, Have you ever heard of a player missing nearly a month due to pink eye? Me neither.
I don't see the word mild in there. I want mild hamstring strain which is what you'll find listed for Enrique, Rose and Wade.
What does Kawhi have to do with this thread? Pretty sure he just missed like the first two games with the eye anyway. The rest has been the hand.
So you missed our toughest series did you?
And yes we did need him in the other series, but for a different purpose than the Dallas series.
where did you go to school?
I'm not looking at any stat sheets, but I feel like MOST of our losses have been dumb and close. That's why this whole season and the "not playing the full team until March" thing is ing hilarious.
Kawhi is basically sitting out because Pop doesn't feel like bringing him o yent. This has been a pretty good preseason if you ask me. I'm being entertained.
As for Tony, I only saw a few minutes of the 4th....does he really look done, or cliff-jumping?
It's all in the phrasing. Don't get hung up on the words. Sometimes they'll say it's a mild hamstring injury. Other times, they'll say it's nothing serious but, merely tightness in his bothersome hammy. Would you feel better if the NBA adopted the NHL's way of describing injuries..... Tony Parker, Lower body injury. That way, you won't have a friggin clue what's going on.
Who gives a . Spurs were sleepwalking through that series. If they play like that in the WCF or Finals they get raped...unless you actually think the 8th seeded Mavs were the second best team in the league last season?
Yeah, no. Mild describes the severity. Keep looking tbh.
Dallas would have raped the Heat in the finals.Who gives a . Spurs were sleepwalking through that series. If they play like that in the WCF or Finals they get raped...unless you actually think the 8th seeded Mavs were the second best team in the league last season?

Well how about sleep walking right out of the playoffs 1st round? You think all that counts in the playoffs is the championship?
What you don't get is Parker is pure lighting dribbling the ball.
Teams have a very difficult time handling that kind of pace for trapping. We don't necessarily need him scoring. But we damn sure need his speed with the ball during close games when teams are trapping. He gets us out of so many binds by getting out into the open court. That kind of speed with the ball is crucial for a team like ours. And it's showing at the end of games this season. Parker often times runs right away from a defender trying to foul him running clock. And this is just one aspect of the role his speed plays.
Your Fckn blind.
you went to utsa? lol indeed
Parker, Duncan, Ginobili are all old. They're really bound to slip every year. How hard is it to understand, why are people jumping off a cliff over this
I find it strange that so many Spurs fans seemingly didn't watch last year's playoffs, tbh..
The Spurs were literally better when Parker was on the bench, statistically..he ranked 7th or 8th in the rotation in virtually every advanced metric, among Spurs rotation players..
He's just a luxury, at this point..people need to stop acting like this sample size is limited to this season, this decline began last year, it was evident to anybody that closely followed the Spurs..outside of the Portland series(where the Spurs still blew them out in game 5 without him) and game 7 vs. Dallas, he looked mediocre for the entire run..you knew it was bad when Pop was condescendingly complimenting him on his "leadership", just because he accepted to sit on the bench for key stretches..
Logically speaking, he's a 32-year old PG with a ton of mileage, and has relied mostly on speed/quickness for effectiveness..he's not Duncan or Ginobili, tbh..
As a Spurs fan, I'm deathly afraid that Parker will sabotage the Spurs, like Derrick Rose is currently doing to the Bulls..ball-dominant PGs that are no longer good players can destroy your team..fortunately, Pop showed us last year that he won't hesitate to bench Parker when he's ineffective, so let's hope he sticks to that..
Why do you say that?
Man, I can't believe so many Spurs fans still refer to Parker's quickness and skills like it's 2012, tbh
It's the equivalent of Harlem saying, "damn, Tim Duncan sure draws a lot of attention and double teams in the post, which opens things up for the rest of the team"..
We're in 2015, some of y'all s need to join the rest of us, tbh..
He's a slightly above average PG that no longer impacts the game on a significant level, which is quantified by the numbers, and has been since last year's playoffs..you can keep ting out the "penetration" narrative, but the numbers don't support your claims..
Because spurs just gave him a new contract.

Parker was the fastest guard on our team last season. I have no reason to believe he will not be so by the end of the season and use it just as effectively.
If Parker is no longer the fastest guard on our team with the ball there will be NO back to back.
Its that obvious to me. We may need KL more, but we still don't win without fast Parker.
Simple.
My , I'm a Spurs fan first, tbh, unlike these player-fans..Show some respect
I put the Spurs logo before Timmy, Manu, Enrique, Kawhi, etc..unlike most of the people in this thread, I don't give a about the name on the back of the jersey..
When Tim struggles, I want him to sit, I've called it out many times..same with Manu..it's not a Parker agenda, the only difference with Parker is that he has looked finished as a notable player for 1.5 years now, and the Spurs are a better team when he's on the bench..
I'm tired of these player-fans, tbh..
100 Agree, tbh.
Player fans are by far the most annoying..
