I don't think you know what usage rate is, re .

• USG: Usage Rate - the number of possessions a player uses per 40 minutes. Usage Rate = {[FGA + (FT Att. x 0.44) + (Ast x 0.33) + TO] x 40 x League Pace} divided by (Minutes x Team Pace)

[313]

No just look at the usage rate formula. The Pork can't get his shot off or get to the line so of course his usage rate is low.

Still has the ball in his hands enough that he shouldn't be Raul Neto though.

So would you rather he force up? He's doing the right thing and moving the ball. Manu has always been a better playmaker than porker so I don't see why you madde the comparison.

Exactly. You're acting like his APG are low bc his usage rate is low, when in reality his usage rate is low bc he's not getting any assists (and struggles to get his shot off+draw fouls).

So would you rather he force up? He's doing the right thing and moving the ball. Manu has always been a better playmaker than porker so I don't see why you madde the comparison.

I'd rather he be useful. You act like his only options are to be Raul Neto or a heroballer.

[cjw]

Not an apologist, but remember this:

1. Sample size
2. Who cares - you're telling me you'd rather have Jarrett Jack than Parker just because his APG is all the way up at 8?
3. More ISO this year and more Leonard handling the ball

And this - http://stats.nba.com/tracking/#!/pla...TIAL_AST&dir=1 - more potential assists vs. actual assists points to guys missing shots off his passes. Green's cold as we all know, etc.

Fkla, what brand of truth flakes do you eat in the morning?

[FkLA]

Cinnamon Truth Crunch is pretty good tbh

[spurraider21]

Cinnamon Truth Crunch is pretty good tbh

how do you think parker played today, specifically?

[FkLA]

how do you think parker played today, specifically?

Took advantage of Calderon and scored well, did a good job of picking his spots. Didn't do much else aside from that.

what else would you want him to do

[dabom]

what else would you want him to do

Not be a POS on defense.

[Clipper Nation]

Blake Griffin, a power forward, is averaging more assists per game than Porker

[spurraider21]

Not be a POS on defense.

how did the opposing guards do offensively?

[spurraider21]

Blake Griffin, a power forward, is averaging more assists per game than Porker

so you think parker should have the ball more and a higher usage rate?

[dabom]

how did the opposing guards do offensively?

I wasn't talking specifically about this game.

[spurraider21]

I wasn't talking specifically about this game.

I was. I asked specifically what FkLA thought about Parker's performance in this game.

[Clipper Nation]

so you think parker should have the ball more and a higher usage rate?

As an opposing fan, yes, please let Rique dribble dribble dribble and chuck to his heart's content. Gives us a better chance of winning.

[spurraider21]

thanks for confirming that you're full of

why doesnt parker get more assists
parker should get the ball less

if you want to criticize him, fine. he's our weak link in the starting 5. but at least let your criticisms make sense

[FkLA]

what else would you want him to do

Oh idk maybe be a decent defender. Maybe improve his jumpshot a little. Maybe not be such a terrible distributor.

He's seemingly accepted his role player status but he's still pretty ty at most things good role players are supposed to excel in.

[Mr Bones]

7-12 from the field, 16 pts, 3 assists, 0 turnovers, 29 minutes... isn't this what you want? Parker was efficient, didn't turn the ball over, and took fewer shots than Kawhi & LMA... doesn't this show that he's understanding his new role?

was his defense poor tonight? how did knicks guards do offensively? was his jumper bad today? i felt like he was knocking them down at a reasonable rate.

[spurraider21]

that usage argument is such bull ... he was bad last year and still had a usage rate north of 24%... he's at 17% this year because he has accepted smaller role and is handling the ball much less

i would think you guys would be thrilled that Parker's usage rate is down, but now ur somehow managing to whine about that too

Exactly... Parker, older now, is no longer the player he once was. I can't understand how the krew here continues to find this so astonishing.

[dabom]

Half of spurstalk last year thought Tony was going to regain his form.

I ain't gonna bump any of those threads.
