Tony Parker faces biggest challenge of his career as Spurs try to find old form

[ducks]

"He has lots of miles over the last two years and he is one of the guys that only rests if he is hurt," one NBA advance scout told Yahoo Sports. "…He has not been making a lot of the layups and in-the-paint shots that he has in the past at a higher percentage.

"I don't think there is anything too dramatic in a drop-off of skills. I just think they are going big picture. His assists are down, too. His team is not shooting as well as we are used to."

You can forget about TP resting in the offseason any time soon. This year he will play in the Eurobasket tournament because it's going to determine which teams qualify for the Olympics next year.

But Tony didn't play the last FIBA World Cup and they won the bronze medal, many of those young players have improved a lot, Gobert, Fournier, Lauvergne...

Parker needs to pass. Stop dribbling the ball for a ing hour. Move the ball. Drive and dish. Not that hard to not be a negative impact. If you have a shot then take it. Don't force anything.

Passes are a whole lot easier when there is the threat of a blow bye.
Its tough with guys right in your grill because they know you can't beat them.
If you can back them off and see the floor, it's really helpful.

Saying we we need to get back to a passing game is easy. Try passing the ball around with a team full of players that are no threat off the dribble is not easy unless you can really get good screens off the ball continuously, and even then it's still way difficult.
