Clouding the issue with facts...
is behind such players as D'Bust, Efrid Payton, JJ Barea, and even our own Patty Mills.

Ah, but surely his 4th quarter usage must be excessive?
Nope:

Parker is the best ball handler in the team. He's also the second best scorer.
No complaints on my part. He's not at his peak, but some games he's pretty impressive.
the last games were bad ... no doubt about it ... we need him to get back on track
Can you guys keep your Parker vs Kawhi battles in 1 thread?
But since you posted the links, Patty and Manu have a positive net rating and a higher offrtg than Parker in the Clutch. Also Danny should not be getting the ball (why is his usage so high?).
As for Parker overall, he's been a good efficient player this season and he is the least of the Spurs worries right now. I'm not a fan of games like tonight when he gets tunnel vision and opts to dribble an entire possession away but thankfully he has reduced that quite a bit.
Parker has always been terrible in the clutch. That's not what I'm arguing. I'm just debunking the idea that he excessively heroballs in late game situations.
I'm also on the Kawhi side of this "debate," but Parker hate (at this moment in time) is unjustified. He's playing good ball this season. The whole team is actually playing unselfishly and every player seems to be committed to defense.
I'm in the 3rd quarter of rewatching this game, and he hasn't been "Enrique" in this game, despite Apa's cherry pick. He didn't have a good shooting night, but he played an overall good floor management game.
I agree Parker doesn't deserve the hate he has gotten, he is an easy target. Also hard to complain when the team is playing so well, obviously still things to improve on.
I didn't mean to direct the comment at you with the Kawhi vs Parker "debates", that was more of a general comment.
In a few possessions, indeed he was forcing the issue a bit too much, looking to score first & foremost, and that's quite an eyesore. But like the facts that you've presented above, he is NOT dominating all possessions, his usage is not too much. But his shots were not falling tonight, and that has made the issue worse than it actually was. Especially when people with agenda keep on ing about it & attention whoring all over the place.
I think he reacted helplessly when he got trapped in the first half and dribbled way too much in the second half ...
He has played well the whole season, so its not surprising. The problem comes from recent games, esp against the rox where he must have taken and bricked 3-4 shots in a row in the fourth. Not to mention his signature dribble dribble dribble dribble shoot/pass is slowly starting to resurface.
You should really rethink your username, 100%wrong would suit you better. I think most starting point guards tend to overdribble, especially if the starting unit lacks a secondary ball handler like the Spurs does. Yet, the point that he "dribble, dribble, dribble & shot" is stupid and untrue when the Spurs have been top 5 in assists per game the last 4 or 5 straight years.
LOL... I was going to say the same thing. Don't start tossing facts around up in here. That just makes 'em angry.
Damn, and you were doing so well for a minute.
But he had some really bad plays last night.
You have to understand a player is only as good as his last game for the krew.
