I was going to write something but I'll leave the kid alone. He already made some questionable decisions in his life. He already has to live with that.
How do you think that conversation went?
Kori: Hey Roger, I'm a huge Spurs fan. Just look at my calf tats (reveals his chicken legs).
RMJ: (nervous chuckle) that's cool, man.
Kori: can I take a picture with you so I can show my friends on Spurstalk?
RMJ: Uhh..sure.

As stacked as this Spurs roster is this season, Tony doesn't need to dominate for the Spurs to win. he just needs to stay healthy and he should play well this season. He doesn't need to be MVParker to win with this Spurs roster.
I think the Spurs are best served with Parker in a more reserved role taking shots when he's open, driving in open lanes(his burst shouldn't be completely gone), and just moving the ball otherwise; just less of him getting his own shot in general, regardless if he still can. He should focus on conserving himself more so he more fresh for the playoffs(also to prevent aggravating his seemingly chronic hamstring). Consistency will be key so the spurs don't have to really on the young guys too much. ppg:13.5, ast:4.5, fg%:50%
Also, Parker took all those shots in game seven because Kawhi wasn't producing in game 5 and 6. That and nobody was used to the Kawhi centered offence; nobody knew were their shots were coming from. I believe pop went away from Kawhi intentionally because there were no timeouts to stop Parker and he wasn't benched for taking so many shots. Pop went full ride-or-die with Parker(even though was[really] struggling himself) because that was the offence everybody was use to. I think injuries are all we can blame for the first round loss because it prevented the team from developing chemistry with Kawhi being the number 2 option(everyone is secondary option in the motion offence).
Truth bombs
so "All Star level" means 2 months playing great?
Ok
Thread derailed from bball discussion into personal attacks and trolling. Apa's return has immediately ted on everyone else. Too bad, he should have stayed banned TBH. He only reduces the environment of the forum to his level. By the way no need to reply to this, I have you on ignore already, and only lament that others take time to respond to you. I choose to stay out of it.
I don't know if this is a cry for attention tbh. Typical.
hopefully "ugh, 2 more years of this" is not the overriding theme once the upcoming season is over, tbh...
or the "if only tony can make his jumpers he'll be alright" theme.
Parker needs to be the court general and not the scorer. He should be pass first especially with all the new offensibe weapons we have. He should have an open lane sometimes and he can take it. I expect 10 ppg, 6apg, 2 rpg
Or "he's not 100% right now."or the "if only tony can make his jumpers he'll be alright" theme.
Actually I think Parker should look to score in the first few games instead of being passive.
He needs to command respect. It should give Kawhi and Aldridge more room.
But if my hunch is right, lots of coaches in the league have already figured out and are convinced Parker is done. That's terrible considering Pop woudn't bench him even if he took 40 shots and missed them.
He needs to score the first few games and show he can still ball.
Surpises in this thread:
Bruno actually got mad. He usually chill.
Non-surprises:
Chump not talking basketball.
Koriwhat being a got.
The problem ia, even if he wanted to, he just couldnt anymore. Top 5 pg is long gone and is gone forever.
or "he needs to play more to get in to shape" conundrum. Play more risk injury. Play less and you don't get rhythm.
Who is that girl in your sig?
damn!
She is so beautiful!
He doesn't have to be a top 5 pg for the Spurs to win with this stacked lineup.
I agree with this.
Exactly. Does he know that?
I expect a bit of a rebirth like Duncan experienced a few years back.
The best play you can run with LMA and shooters like green in the corner and Duncan near the rim is the Pick and Roll
And last time I checked Parker is the only guy that can run a P&R in the starting unit (and maybe in the whole team depending of what Manu has left)
Anything Parker can give us is just icing on the cake, oh wait maybe I shouldn't be using food analogies regarding Parker...
