Where are your stats to back up your facts?
The team plays better when he is eating bench.
Actually he isn't better than what we've got despite what you say.

Except that Coach Pop and the Clippers disagree with you. Oh, and every commenter. Even your advanced stat people would slap you upside the head and say that more minutes for Mills and Cojo doesn't mean 30 minutes a game. That would be disastrous. Especially if you are the Kawhi Leonard fan that you claim to be as he will face tons of double teams if Cojo is in and he would be able to pass to Cojo for the open threes because Cojo can't make them and the Clippers don't fear him with the ball in his hands. Imagine watching that for 30 minutes.
Last night says otherwise so for now you are wrong.
And when if the Spurs lose this series with Parker playing heavy minutes what will be your excuse then? Oh that's right you'll blame the rest of the team.
16 pages of player fans arguing with player fans... cancerous community
Jesus, 17 pages..smh..
This thread just shows how far this forum has fallen....Thank You Robdiaz and your tiny
Lmao. Stay mad bro. Gtfo if you don't like it.
I ain't mad...this is 17 pages of you getting punked
Lmao. Yeah sure buddy. I on this entire thread. You must be a Parker fan with your delusional takes.
Except it didn't. Didn't you watch when Cory was in and no one guarded him? Didn't you see that he got no playing time in the second half? He was too much of an offensive liability.
Then play Mills. Simple. Spurs biggest runs came with Mills at PG. I never said play just Cory. Cory was last night but Mills wasn't. He was the best Spurs PG last night.
Shout out to Mikeanaro for the link.
But again, my point. Mills is great as a change of pace guy and certainly has earned more minutes going forward. But he can't play 30 minutes a game. He's too much of a defensive liability. Parker should start and get the majority of the minutes, Mills should get the reserve minutes (unless he is struggling in his shooting), and Cory should barely play (unless it is a blow out or we need him to take out Griffin's knee or intentionally foul Jordan). Oh wait, that's what Pop is doing...yes we should just trust that the 5 time champion and three time coach of the year knows what he is doing.
Your opinion doesn't change the facts bro. I'm sorry but you are wrong.
It's a nice article, except it doesn't back what you are saying. Well, it does show that he has had a bit of a decline, but that was easy for all of us to see; we didn't need the article to see he is taking more jumpers and finishing at a lower rate at the rim then in years past. But the stats themselves are misleading because they don't tell the whole story. Yes, Tony has had a slight uptick in turnovers, but that doesn't mean that Mills or Cojo are better ball handlers. If you watch the game, which is dubious, but I'll assume you do, then you'll see that neither Mills or Cojo are the primary handlers or creators when they are in the game. On offense, they play off the ball, especially Cojo. The creators are Manu and Bellineli. So that's why they have less turnovers. As the article points out, Parker has never been a great assists guy, so there isn't much there. The article does say that Duncan and Green have improved their shooting while playing with Parker, which makes sense since he seems to find both after penetrating and kicking out for jumpers. And the second unit has better passers than the starters, so of course the assist rate is higher among them. Manu and Diaw and Splitter are among the best passers in the NBA at their positions. The starters run things differently, including iso plays for Kawhi and post ups for Tim and then Tony pick and rolls that tend to end in Tony jumpers mean less assists. That said, the article points out that Tony is still a great shooter, which is why the Clippers have to guard him, even if he is having an off night. And again, I'll reiterate, that Mills's and Cojo's numbers are a bit inflated because most of their stats come against second stringers. They aren't logging 30 minutes against Paul or their numbers would look bad, especially their defense numbers. All in all, you can say Tony is struggling, but he's still better than what is behind him. Perhaps the biggest dig and posting and worshiping this article is that it was written back in January, when Tony was injured and not playing well, and it doesn't account for when he turned things around in the second half and gave big contributions to the Spurs winning streak. So again, Article is meh, but certainly doesn't back up your nonsense opinions.
One of the greatest franchises in all of sports. In the playoffs for 18 consecutive years. 18!!!! Only missed the playoffs 4 times in the team's 38 year NBA existence. The franchise has won 5 les, and are the defending champs after crushing the Heat last year!!!
And here we arguing about whose fault it is in game one of the first round of the playoffs. smh.
That was not evident you phrased your sentence, btw your question does not make a lot of sense. Not sure what Parker needs to figure out on cp3 he played him often and there is nothing new in the way cp3 is playing unless you wanted to play the smart ass.
im confident Spurs and Kawhi will figure out the double teams and defensive pressure he will get from now on soon enough. Kawhi is a fast learner. Now I'm a bit surprised seeing him and Spurs taken apparently off guard. This was to be expected after his last 20 games surge offensively tbh
Your criteria to be considered an elite is apparently generating traffic, I fully deserve an honorable mention in your next list
