I clearly see Parker's role has changed.
This does not mean WE DONT NEED HIM.
Why is this so difficult?
The Playoffs end 1st round minus Parker.
You disagree. We will never know except we won with Parker.
So, who do you got in his place? No Tony, who you got at point?

Parker doesn't think his role has changed..He continues to think he deserves the ball more than Kawhi.
That shows how good the team is not the player. Other stats show individual contribution and the team should make decisions based upon those stats to increase the chance of getting a W.
If someone shoot 0-15 we can't say he had a good game because his team won.
Parker does need to handle the ball more. He is our best PG. Sorry if that's not good enough, it may not be.
KL is our future. He is by far the most athletic player on our team. If Parker really does not want to pass to Leonard, or thinks we can win without Leonard, we are cooked. I don't believe Parker believes this. You do. So keep up the nonsense.
No. You can't.
But you can't say the player was useless unless you watched the game. He may be the only player to defend the rim and rebound. Everyone of the 15 misses may have been a rebound putback try. That's why there is a tv in front of our GD eyes.
Kawhi is our present, Parker needs to handle the ball less everything is so basic and predictable this hurts the team and will sink them to the bottom.
no disagreement.
KL is both.
We still must have Parker.
We have no better PG imo.
Not that it would ever happen bc of sentimental reasons...but I'd start Cory. Atleast he can attack off the dribble, which is more than you can say about Enrique. Keep Patty in a bench role since he and Manu compliment each other nicely.
I was actually thinking about this 10 minutes ago when watching last night's game for the first time.
Spurs need someone that can get to the rack and score. Parker can't seem to do it anymore. Manu can't either. The Spurs need at least one player that can get to the rack and score. It might be time to think about giving Cory Joseph a shot (for real) if Parker keeps struggling.
Hamstring injuries are a , tbh... not saying he's injured right now, but it's entirely possible he's just trying not to put a lot of pressure on it. Pop said during the interview he didn't think Tony was favoring any leg, so that's a good sign.
He had so many hamstring issues in the last couple of years, he probably needs to build some confidence and break that mental barrier that he's not going to get hurt again. Time will tell.
ESPN als had Pop mic'd and they showed a bit of him asking Tony if he felt alright? Parker said yes, but I think it shows that the coaches are still somewhat worried about his leg.
you are speaking out of your ass as always tbh... Parker has been benched for George Hill for instance... but now Pop is a sentimental guy...![]()
Re-read my post. I'd start Cory and let Patty stay in his current role, meaning Enrique would essentially be the 3rd PG. That's a little different than what happened with Hill.
You really think Pop is willing to do that?
ask any logical fan from any other team who the best PG on the Spurs roster is, MVParker will win a vast majority of the time. I can't imagine any coach in the league rather facing Parker as opposed to Patty and CoJo. I like CoJo game and Patty can go nova from time to time but only ST members with agendas feel they are better than 100% TP. If TP hit the free agent market even with Patty's shoulder injury, do you think he wouldn't have gotten more attention than Patty got???
fans of other teams that watch the Spurs once every few weeks are more knowledgeable than Spurs fans? smh..
you are right... I couldn't have guessed that was the idea, I should have figured... so it's nothing close to be a sentimental issue, Pop is trying to get Parker going because you like it or not, Cory starting PG in POs would be a very bad news for the Spurs...
Now if by POs time it's the best option to have Parker as third PG I have no doubt in my mind that Pop will do it. So yes Pop is willing to do that in April and in POs if Parker plays that bad... Pop has never been sentimentalist with these players.. not sure why you are thinking he will be now
So obvious he's not healthy.
smh.
fans of other teams are more knowledgeable than Spurs fans with an agenda yes
but man ya know I <3 u tbh
You're starting to come across as a got with a crush on Kawhi.
smh when a schtick goes to far
fans that watch the Spurs are more knowledgable than their coach, who spends hundreds of hours a month in direct contact with them.
In theory he's supposed to be getting better by playing. For that reason alone he has to play.
No.
Primarily because Pop is not an idiot.
