Enrique is done!!

[Ditty]

How exactly did Tony Parker receive "legend" status with the Spurs? Sure, it's not surprising that the same organization that retired the numbers of Avery Johnson and Bruce Bowen(although I love Bruce as much as any Spurs fan) would inflate the legacy and impact of a good(not great) player like Parker, but legend?

Outside of the 2007 and 2013(until the most important games of the season, 6&7 vs. Miami) playoffs, this has been a constant playoff under-achiever..the Spurs were never able to rely on him to show up in big games, it was essentially always Duncan and Ginobili + the role players(Bruce, Horry, all the guys from last year, etc)..

It seems like Spurs fans have forgotten, though, as they actually have the audacity to mock Chris Paul and others for their playoff failures, when in reality, our "legendary" PG has been a constant playoff disappointment..

Parker had a great 2012 postseason on both sides of the ball imo.

If Diaw, Ginobili, and Green showed up marginally in game six then Spurs go to the finals, and have a have a of a finals with Miami tbh

Hey, he's not that bad, barely 460 out of 463 NBA players of all positions when it comes to DRPM.

Imagine if he didn't have Green/Leonard guarding those all star back courts night after night, or Splitter/Duncan in the paint...And the Spurs weren't trying to hide him on scrubs either.

Last year they hid him on Jackson against Okc who had a bum ankle.

What BS are Enrique fans going to say now?

What is it with Tony Parker apologists always blaming other players for poor game 6 performances? Parker's the worst game 6 performer of the big three. He's made a career of never showing up in game 6. Career stats when playing a game six in the playoffs:

Duncan in game 6s(18 games):
21.1 ppg on 53.3 TS%
12.6 rpg
3.67 apg
2.61 bpg
0.77 spg
2.38 TOs
18.8 GmSc

Manu in game 6s(18 games):
15.5 ppg on 56.2 TS%
5.33 rpg
4.00 apg
0.06 bpg
1.83 spg
2.3 TOs

Parker in game 6s(18 games):
16.3 ppg on 45.6 TS%

Make some good points here. 09 I see your point but Josh Howard and Terry were raping everyone even Hill (who was lost the whole game 5 on defense), Bowen, Finley, Udoka who were okay defenders at that time. '10 Nash was destroying Hill also, Dragic had one fluke game . 11' was the only year I can say that Parker was getting completely outplayed on both ends by Conley, but you can make an argument how the whole team was getting outplayed but blame it on Parker . Parker did redeem himself greatly playing well on both ends against Conley, Paul, Curry (when guarded him) and (2012)Westbrook. Yeah Parker isn't an "elite" defender, and hasn't been pretty bad this year for the most part on both, but to say he has been horrible his whole career again is dumb to say the least.

barrea did kill him in 09 and u can forget Dragic's record setting 4th quarter in 2010?

Very interesting data, let´s see how Park s spin that.

Barea's scorching 10 ppg while shooting 43% that series really destroyed us

Yeah I mentioned Dragic's one game, but guess who was guarding him and kept switching screens that caused Dejuan Blair to guard the hottest player on the floor? George Hill.

but but it's Tony's fault

because if someone outside of Duncan,Parker and Jackson played well we would of went to game seven against OKC on our home court?

How about game six in the Miami series when Tony made two clutch baskets, and key defensive play when the rest of the team choked the game away?

Enrique Parker:

Game 7 of 2013 finals: 10 pts (3-12 FG, 25%), 2 turnovers

Game 6 of 2013 finals: 19 points (6-23 FG LOL, 26%)

So, last two games when we needed him the most 9-35 FG

Game 2 of 2013 finals: 13 points (5-14 FG, 35%), 5 turnovers that costed us that game.

And finally game only 6 points (we won that game easily so he only played 27 minutes).

Outside of Iverson, TP Is the best penetrating in-the-paint-scoring little man I've seen.

People take it for granted that any decent point guard can do that. Try watching Chris Paul or the guy in Brooklyn . . .

all loses also. Your point?

yeah two clutch basket because the whole team choked at the end of the 3rd and beginning of the fourth quarter

[Johnny RIngo]

26% shooting in game 6...TP is so clutch guys

u ever seen rod stricklan in his prime? this guy could get in the lane any time he wanted and how he wanted. I used to joke with my boys and call him the king of layups. but he doesn't have the rings of a tony parker so we ignore guys like him.

[james evans]

did u watch the game, cuz it was popovich that sat the starters. it was bad coaching all around from sitting the starters, taking out duncan twice at the end of regulation, and putting a 60% freethrow shooter in to ice the game. Plus he left ginobli on the floor to keep turning the fuking ball over

Just saying Enrique didn't play well against Miami in the 2013 finals, I didn't say anything about Manu.

[apalisoc_9]

did you see the third quarter today man?

Parker took over 6 shots that led to the Lakers winning the third..

He purposly ignored Kawhi's calling for the ball when he had Swaggy P on him..

Unreal.

[Diego20]

You don't laugh about Enrique % FG in that finals???

[TheGreatYacht]

Wait.. Wait.. Wait hold the up. Did I just see "KL2" say PARKER is a system player?! "KL2"...

[TheGreatYacht]

You don't laugh about Enrique % FG in that finals???

You won't bring up Parker setting up Green on all his 3's

You won't bring up his PLAYOFF numbers

You ignore the fact that Manu is arguably having a worse season than 2013

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker leading the team in scoring AND assists

17pts in 22 minutes

Nono, Park s will defend him saying he needed those 6 shots to ¨recalibrate the machine and lead us to success¨
Spurs go as far as Parkner goes
