Patty, Jospeh and Manu should handle PG duties and Parker should suit up for an emergency and rest those sprains and aches till Sunday or game 5.
Agreed. No reason to send out a gimpy Tony tonight. We might win without him anyway, and even if not I'd rather him back at full(er) strength for game 4 and later than hobbling around tonight.
Tony refusing to let the backups expose him.
hero ball has been a term used on this site to equate parker for awhile now.
What a warrior
:vom at the thought cojo starting. The spacing in the starting lineup is already disgusting.
Anyone who thinks Mills should start or that Pop will even consider starting him obviously haven't been watching the Spurs for very long. Mills is the 1b 6th man on the team so you can't take him off the bench. Him and Manu are too good together.
Hope the got gets injured even worse for pulling this . Fat ass couldn't even get off the ground in Game 2. Kobe-esque move tbh
He only took 6 shots to try and keep the defense honest. He was obviously looking to get others involved. He spoon fed Duncan a couple times iirc.
Hopefully he gets injured though so all the Parker haters can stop claiming we can win a le without him.
I can see why. Starting Cojo would throw off the rotation as I think Manu would have to start along side him. But I think Parker should play no more than 15 minutes, 20 minutes max. Keep it simple and keep the offense moving.
he just needs to cut the crap. something is obviously wrong. he's only hurting the team. duncan can get his with or without parker tbh.
hopefully he pulls one out of his ass and can hit some shots tbh
Parker/Green/Leonard/Splitter/Duncan - Net RTG = +23.9
Regardless of the hate we need Parker to be decent just for the sake of depth. If you start Mills than the bench becomes weaker since they lose an offensive threat and it allows the Clippers to relax a little bit when their starters go to the bench. If Parker can chip in 8-10 points on good shooting combined with Mills than the Spurs should be in good shape.
Yeah, put Cojo or Mills in his spot and I bet it would be better.
Sacrificing his health to help the team.
My biggest issue is Pop and Parker both allowing an injured player to hurt the 1st unit. If he was truly injured with a sore Achilles putting more game minutes on it is not going to help. Playing him more than 1 quarter if it's not contributing is also hurting the team. Parker runs 2 plays for the most part, Duncan sets a screen and Tony either pops for a jumper or he dumps it to Duncan the roll man. More often than not he can't take someone off dribble unless it's off a switch. If those two things are not working he rolls into the corner and hopes someone can run offense.
You can can tell within the first 5 minutes of the game if he's going to contribute or not, his body language becomes trash when he misses. As of right now the issue is his confidence too. If the switch comes and DJ gets locked up on him he doesn't attack he gets scared and takes a long jumper or escape dribbles his way out of a play.
Hey does anyone know who Parkers doctor? I want to sue him for malpractice. Parker had chucker disease and it's irresponsible not to quarantine him.
Hat tip apo for the hot take trolling.
The only thing Manu has done to change is jack all jump shots instead of driving. That's not a good thing. It's similar to TP settling for more mid-range because he can't get to the rim. Manu has had a below average season - TP has just been even less healthy and played worse. Don't think Manu has adjusted much - still has the TO's and now just takes more jump shots that don't connect (especially from 3).
Their bodies limited them - they didn't adjust. Tim is someone who's adjusted and shifted. Right now Manu/TP's bodies forced them to play worse.
There's nothing more annoying than TP semi-driving, realizing there's 9 seconds left, and tossing off to Timmy who's not even position. lol drunk
he's a ty pg tbh
Cojo and bonner doing the same. Disgusting.
How long did you think about this gem?
Hold on, expected response "truth bomb, can't handle it? "
can you not handle these?
