For those that say Parker should take fewer shots:
He is taking fewer shots.
For those that say he's not nearly as quick as he used to be and should pick & choose his shots and be more efficient:
Everybody knows this. Pop, Tony, everyone. He does pick & choose, and he is more efficient.
For those that say he should defer to Kawhi & LMA, and let them take more shots:
That's exactly what's happening.
The schtick doesn't work anymore, sorry.
Have you watched the actual games?
Can you post post season stats?
Thanks
Actually, I have, and what he says is true.
The guy at his absolute worst shot 49% last season. We are a spoiled bunch indeed.
Have you watched the actual games?
In contrast, Westie shot 42.6%... even Curry shot only 48.7%, one tenth of a percentage better than Parker.
They broadcast Spurs games in Paris?Have you watched the actual games?
Aside from yesterday, he has seemingly accepted a lesser role.
My one complaint is 4th Qtrs. Several times this season, he's gone into the 4th with 3-4 FGAs and then decides to hero out as a closer. It already cost us the Wizards game and would've cost us the 76ers game but Pop subbed in MVPaddy for him before it was too late.
How did Parker cost the Spurs the Wizards game in the 4th? If I recall correctly he hit the 3 with a few seconds left and also a jumpshot with around a minute left. It doesn't matter who shoots or who scores as long as the ball goes in.
Pretty much.
Just vanillls fans with ty takes.
For Parker, if hes hot the hot hand applies if kawhi is hot "the ball had to move too"
Hope he breaks his ankles and never ever plays
Parker was 4/5 from the field and 1/2 from the line in the 4th quarter against the Wiz, including a bailout 3 to tie the game and even put the Spurs in a position to win. The only negative he had in the period were 2 turnovers, but the team as a whole coughed up 20 in that game, so you can't really single him out there.
Meanwhile, Green turned the ball over 4 times, Kawhi was 1/3 with a turnover, and Aldridge was 0/2 with a turnover. But yeah, Parker was really the reason the Spurs lost.
Of course, you're just spewing bull to try to further your played out, made up agenda, so I don't really expect silly things like logic to change your mind.

2 TOs in the last three minutes, plus the one where Manu tried to lead him and he tripped on his own which they probably gave to Manu. There was also plenty of dribble dribble dribble which we all know isn't winning basketball. Not to mention his defense.
Kawhi didn't attempt a shot in the 4th until 1:37 left in the game after Enrique had already all over himself. Didn't attempt his second and third until 27 secs left (got his offensive rebound). LMA didn't attempt a shot after the 6 minute mark. Basically Enrique engaged hero mode in the 4th and it predictably backfired. But keep thinking he played winning basketball bc he managed to hit a low percentage 3 PTer that to this day is still his only three of the season.
I like to speak in maybes and generalities when people shoot down my re ed takes.
Everything I posted is easily verifiable.
LMA didn't attempt a FG after the 6 minute mark ✓
Kawhi didn't attempt his first FG until 1:37 left ✓
Kawhi didn't attempt his 2nd/3rd FGs until 27 secs left ✓
Enrique had lost the lead by then ✓
Enrique had 2 TOs in the last 3 minutes ✓
Enrique shooting 3s is a low percentage shot ✓
Oh, and Parker hit that three because he was wide open after Danny Green got bottled up. You don't pass up an open shot to tie the game with 7 seconds left on the clock.
And then there's the fact that, you know...he made it. Which renders your argument moot.
He is also 2/4 for threes on the season.
This puts us in a time capsule and we just beat the Clippers in last years playoffs, right?
Yippee!
And this Novembers increase means Sharing Tony will be Sharing Tony in the 2016 playoffs, right?
Yah!
Ok the improvement in Parker for the 1st 10 games is indeed encouraging.
I never said he was wrong for taking that three. There was nothing wrong with it since time was winding down. I'm just saying the fact that he made that shot doesn't change the fact that him going hero mode was the main reason why the team lost the lead. As the PG of the team, and one that is supposedly embracing a new role, he ignored the team's two best players for most of the 4th.
Also my mistake he has two whole 3 PTers. Guess that makes him a much better shooter than if he only had one.
LMA and Kawhi don't get any more points for their field goals than Parker does. And he was actually making his. With the way they were playing, he could've passed them the ball all quarter, and they weren't going to match his 4/5. This isn't rocket science.I never said he was wrong for taking that three.

Parker playing a new role doesn't mean he isn't allowed to assert himself when he is open and/or playing well. Without him, the Spurs probably get run out of the building during that 4th quarter.
Once again, you can continue to push your agenda all you want, but you aren't fooling anybody into thinking that Parker was the problem during that quarter, just like he hasn't been the problem all season.
4/5 isn't winning basketball if the rest of the team is not involved, genius. You can't ignore the TOs or the dribble dribble dribbles either.
The team was doing fine for itself before the 4th without him going into hero mode. Kawhi had like 20 first half points and team had a lead for most of the game after the rough start.
57.4 FG%
60 3P%
78.7 FT%
Most efficient point guard (that didn't play in D'Antoni's system) I've ever seen, tbh.
Can the mods open FkLA's Parker FG% thread? Worst backfire in ST history
Future HOFer, best pg our franchise has ever had, and now accepting and even thriving in a changing role. Tony deserves a lot of respect. Some of those spin moves he's still throwing out are just classic and his jumper's looking good.
Yep, pretty much the Tony I see. The dribbles seem to be declining, and the guy's mid-range has been money for quite some time now. NBA HoFer? Hmmm, I ask myself that question, and I haven't come up with a definite answer. I guess I think he is borderline. But I definitely do not understand all of the hate heaped on him here.
dribble dribble tbh.
