Nice game for Tony. 25 pts 9 assists
Playing this way. Spurs had the highest scoring first half of the year. Tony led in points and assists while shooting at a high percentage. I think the Spurs are unstoppable with Tony playing this way. Let's hope he can keep it up. Defense was not great tonight against a not so good offense but that can be improved. I figured this should be created due to all the Tony hate.
If Parker can continue to take the defensive focus away from all this weapons we have this team can be unstoppable, especially with him dishing the ball like this and shooting at a high percentage. (Also to mention, Tony did not lead in FG attempts).

Beat game of the season by far tonight. Looked great out there. Should've had a double-double if we would've knocked down one more jumper.
the high FG% isn't surprising at all. he's been shooting 53.3% so far this year (before today's game), and even last year which was a pretty terrible year for parker, he shot 49%
The defense held Denver to 39% from the field and just 33% from three. Except for a few hiccups and second chance opportunities, the defense was pretty solid.
He's got plenty left in the tank.
Very good game from TP tonight. If he can get back to his old self and then learn to balance it out with his new role, this team can be insanely good.
Parker looking good. More excited now about this team now.
I was comparing our first half to Denver's first half. Can't give up 34 in the second like that, but I guess it's ok considering we dropped 34. Overall though pretty solid, and we kept them under 100.
Parker is terrible. These, please give me shots were playing against bad team anyway is just charity to feed his pos ego. Hope he slips in the shower.
You need some toast for all that jelly?
I hope he can keep up near this pace, if we get 75% of this Tony the rest of the year I would be very happy. If he is on it helps the Spurs go to that other level, need him to be somewhat the Parker of old if they are to win a le this year.
First great game of the season. Hopefully he doesn't get a big head and thinks he can do this against good teams. I also don't like how LMA has become an afterthought these last two games.
Might wanna get your sodium levels checked.
Denver has one of the tiest PG corps in the league. But yes, he looks good so far.
Good point. I'm so glad he's confident again. But I disagree with other guys here saying "we need this Tony"...Not really, the Spurs don't need Parker trying to/scoring 25 points per game...they don't need LMA and Kawhi become into mere spectators of Parker show.
Leonard - 8 of 16 attempts
Aldridge - 4 of 14 attempts
Parker - 9 of 14 attempts
Mills - 7 of 15 attempts
Doesn't look like either Leonard or Aldridge were "mere spectators" of the Parker show since each shot as often or more than Parker did, as did Mills. Tonight, Parker's percentage was higher than anyone else's...but Leonard and Mills both took more shots and Aldridge took the same number.
Leonard shutdown Gallo tonight. He had a lot on his plate..Tony has a lot on his plate too, but its mostly during dinner and lunch time tbh

These guys dont actually know what they're talking about. They're just trying to get attention..
aldridge took as many shots as parker did but made 4... and TP assisted 2 of those
lol here we go with the FGA argument again
How many of those FGAs for LMA and Kawhi were spot ups/putbacks/transition baskets? The halfcourt offense today revolved mostly around Rique. He played well but I agree with YGWHI, I don't want that to become the norm.
I'm not talking about this game, the point is on his performances through the season...The Spurs need him to play his new role, not taking almost /the same shots than LMA or Kawhi.
And sometimes it's not even about the numbers of shots, it's about the spots. When Parker dominates the ball a lot, Kawhi is parking behind the 3 point line and LMA doesn't receive the ball in the post or after pick and pop's.
Tp had more points then Leonard and less shots
Great post. You should start a thread on how Kawhi has to work on offense and defense while Parker gets to guard scrub PGs.
