Game Thread Spurs vs. Bucks - 7:00 CST - gonna be a beatdown

[SupremeGuy]

considering tony got torched by some d league pg, i'd say there is really no reason not to be negative about him. Sure he can still do it on the offense, but the fact is, his D will never be back. Every critic is very much en led to critic him considering he has such a massive flow in his game. I'm no hater, but it's very stupid to consider tony an asset and not a liability at this point in his career.

maybe you didn't follow... he got torched by a D leaguer... and it's not the first time, he got torched by everybody this year. It's not about being better on one side, it's about forcing the team to hide him against everybody. To this point we only had to hide him against westchimp, curry and the likes. Now he can't stay in front of any pg, which makes him very much an undersized shooting guard. Right now he is the pg version of dejuan blair, how long can you afford to have such a liability on D before your team collapses? What's worse, he is often paired with beli which makes up for perhaps a bottom 3 backcourt ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FLOOR.

Looks like this mother er had some truth for lunch.

Bucks by 20. It's a back to back.

Now this is a poster one could go to war with.

Does Pop rest anyone? Is he gonna still pull Danny and/or Kawhi quickly in the 1st Quarter. His rotations should be interesting. As for the team I expect them to play well and win.

[Chomag]

Another ty team, another day of us not knowing which Spurs team shows up. Wake up Spurs!!!

Definitely a concern going forward. He's been getting wrecked by all the elite point guards in the NBA...but that's understandable. Those guys(Curry, Paul, Westbrook, Lillard, Irving, Conley, Wall, etc) are all much better than Parker right now. The problem is when you have rookies like Elfrid Payton and D-Leaguers like that nobody on the Knicks outplaying Tony.

When our best defenders sleepwalk, I say yes.

I'd be more concerned with players like Amundson going ape against Duncan.

Pop when asked if he has to say anything to team after loss to Knicks: "They know I hate them. With every fiber in my body, I hate them all"

bucks by 15

You know you're still mi negro robdiaz.......BUT when did you start riding the short bus? Say it ain't so rob......

I like how you ignored all the other points he made and continued to single out Tony

because i don't see how the other points make him any better. First off it's not the first time that it happens, and secondly i'm not saying tony should be cut or anything (something i do say for beli), i'm just saying that criticizing him should be very much expected, if not even encouraged. I'm no hater of tony, sure i like manu better, but i don't deny tony's talent, that doesn't mean i'm going to criticize someone that is pissed about him getting owned by d leaguers on a regular basis. Don't get me wrong, i still think we are the #1 contender, but that doesn't mean that there aren't issues.

rob just regressing to old rob. Hard not to do this season.

The point is Tony is who he has always been. After all these years, he isn't magically going to become a better defender.

I already told you what Spurs team shows up tonight and the rest of the year. Take off your diapers and let your Spur poop free.

[TampaDude]

This will be a blowout win for the Spurs.

[Johnny RIngo]

Duncan was one of our worst players last night but he's 39 years old. Nobody beats father time.

Tony's only 32, the highest paid player on the team with a $45 mil extension coming up. Inexcusable for him to be getting worked by D-Leaguers. I don't expect much from him come playoff time(never have - Tony's not reliable in the post-season) but he's getting paid $14 mil. At least deliver in the regular season.

[SupremeGuy]

Except we won a championship with this same PG.

With, or in spite of, tbh? Let's be ing honest here, if enrique doesn't bust out "I can't believe they're leaving him so open" two years ago we're playing for a 3-peat.
