ing serious bro?

I meant I'm not sure what this means in the grand scheme not that I don't know what the stat is. If you read closer you would see that.

using desperate stats to defend Porker and today'S soft and less skilled NBA players

PPG, APG, FG% to evaluate players
cherry picking stats to hate on a player of a team you root for


the krew never ending circle

1. parker is good at PPG let's use +/-
2. +/- sucks let's use DPM
3. it's an advanced stat and parker is good at some new stuff
4. let's on new metrics and back to old stuff like Apg
5. rinse and repeat

Not suprising. His dribble penetration breaks the defense down and then they have to start scrambling .

[Brazil]

Imagine a formula like:


uPER = (1 / MP) * [ 3P + (2/3) * AST + (2 - factor * (team_AST / team_FG)) * FG + (FT *0.5 * (1 + (1 - (team_AST / team_FG)) + (2/3) * (team_AST / team_FG))) - VOP * TOV - VOP * DRB% * (FGA - FG) - VOP * 0.44 * (0.44 + (0.56 * DRB%)) * (FTA - FT) + VOP * (1 - DRB%) * (TRB - ORB) + VOP * DRB% * ORB + VOP * STL + VOP * DRB% * BLK - PF * ((lg_FT / lg_PF) - 0.44 * (lg_FTA / lg_PF) * VOP) ]
to evaluate players.... that would be


.... wait....

Leonard is playing great
Parker is playing great
Manu is playing great in limited minutes (2nd highest PER on team)
Duncan is playing great (esp. on the defensive side)
Pop is coaching hardnosed ball this year (great)

Spurs' player fans still gripe and complain:

The act is getting old and tiring.

I'm a SPURS fan first and foremost.

This isn't hockey. lol

How do you have time for anything when you're constantly slobbing on the head of the knob?

[will_spurs]

This isn't hockey. lol

Every major sport where a ball gets passed around has started to record "hockey assists", and often it's that pass that creates the opportunity, much more than the assist itself which is often more or less automatic. It's true in soccer, basketball, etc.

well not in NFL neither MLB because there is only one pass tbh Americans achieve to transform collective sports into individual ones tbh... QB is 2/3 of a team value except some historical great D teams like seahawks and MLB is basically a one man show

Hence the "where a ball gets passed around"

Well there's a stat you don't see every day.

This just goes to further prove that Parker is getting his job done, despite not puttying up gaudy assist numbers. He's never been a guard like Nash or Paul who are gonna make slick passes or toss up lobs 10 times a game for immediate scores. But he still is able to get into the lane and make the pass that leads to the pass that leads to the score, which makes our offense go, despite not showing up on traditional stat sheets.

[SASdynasty!]

Bbbbbbuuuttttt Tony's not part of the beautiful game. Lol.

Yup, Parker has been playing very well this season. Even his defense has looked solid, despite his loss in speed. He gets blown by sometimes by the guards, but honestly there really aren't many at all defenders in the league that can guard the point guard position well these days with all the rule changes.

The way the Spurs are set up relied a lot on his drive and kick mentality. The younger oddball posters in this forum don't seem to realize that Parker's scoring capabilities were incredibly unique for a point guard, and completely blew up team defenses. The Spurs give him a few good targets for passes at all times, and when he drives, pulling the man with him, Parker would make the easy pass to an open teammate. When the opposition scrambled over to cover the open teammate, he would make the pass for a now even more wide-open teammate. There's pretty much the beginning of the Spurs offense any time Parker has the ball, and it's worked extremely well for the Spurs. Glad to see he can still score efficiently enough to where the defense can't give him an inch for fear of his jumper and inside scoring.

Great news. That means Parker is doing his job in initiating the offense to where it gets opposing defenses out of position and scrambling to rotate.

Parker deserves no criticism this year. His haters need to wait when/if he regresses to "Enrique." And I hate Enrique, so I'll be right there dishing it out, but Tony Parker is playing right now.

[Proxy]

Are you trying to tell us that basketball is more than NBA Street Vol 2? I don't buy it.

Tony sucks, and we've never witnessed a player make necessary adjustments to their game after a year or two of struggle. TD and Manu never looked like they were done.

And he's playing much better defense than last year. All super positive signs.

Just stay healthy and we are one of 3 teams with a chance to ring this year. Not bad odds.

True.

Tim did look pretty done in the 011 playoffs (Before that too, bad season) and Manu in 013, great point.

sorry brah for that...
