    A couple of months ago, I held back and refused to discuss certain topics about Parker, because I felt it was going to be taken the wrong way, considering the way he was playing.

    But he's playing well now, and still everything rubs the wrong way? I just won't talk about Tony anymore, a player I've always been a fan of, and appreciated. It's really ridiculous.
    You, of course have considered your target audience, right?
    I could say you waste your talents here, but... what?
    What am I talking about- wasting "talents" on a message board...

    I'm being goofy.
    Ignore my posts.

    Nothing wrong with talking about Tony's failures. It's the guys who take things to the extreme that make Manu fans look bad. Nono isn't one of those fans. Probably because he can think for himself.

    Harlem (who knows his stuff) does this thing each year where he boosts one player in the league at the expense of almost every other player. This year he's used his troll, apalisoc, to build up Kawhi while ting on Tony. He does this each year knowing that certain posters (like midnightpulp/Clipper Nation - same poster) will follow his lead no matter what he says.

    It worked like a charm this year because a lot of Spurs fans were waiting for Tony's decline so they could on him while completely ignoring his past contributions to the Spurs. The reasons for that:
    1) some fans never liked his "Hollywood" personality (which was overplayed)
    2) Manu fans don't like to see Tony get praise because they feel it overshadows Manu
    3) San Antonio has a massive amount of diehard Manu fans
    4) San Antonio might as well be Mexico and has a lot of Mexican Spurs fans
    5) Mexican fans like Manu so much because he speaks Spanish (and is from a Spanish speaking country) so they think of him as one of their own
    6) Mexican fans don't realize that no one else in the world (Spanish speaking countries included) don't respect or like Mexico and don't like Mexicans

    Tony has never been a huge fan favorite. This is just the way things are.

    Yeah, it's always been that way. These "why don't Spurs fans like Tony?" discussions have been going on for as long as I've read ST.

Casual fans like you have on this site often only remember a win or a loss and often they take their own talking points from the media pundits who have a bone to pick about any particular subject.
    Yeah, you and the french guy have an eagle eye for analyzing basketball and the rest of us suckers dont.

    Yes right, they needed someone to tell them. Spo was a video coordinator and couldn't tell that Danny, who set a record, was left open. Great analysis. Tony's words ed us.

    You're one of the worse basketball minds on this site, that's for certain. If it makes you feel better about it to lump others in with you, knock yourself out because at the end of the day, you're still re ed.

    And you're clearly one of the best. Your Westbrook-Kobe cancer comparison was spot on.
