are the spurs better without parker?

[$pursDynasty]

Yeah, we really need to get rid of parker so our backup PG can come in and score 0 points with 2 assists on 0-4 shooting.

You're a terrible Spurs fan and you need to shut up and learn more about the game of basketball. Everything that departs from your mouth further affirms that you've been watching the NBA for all of about 5 minutes but still think you're smart enough to have an opinion on it.

Do yourself a favor and stop talking. You'll be a lot more intelligent for it.

Havoc I appreciate that you fight the good fight for sane posting in this forum but sometimes I wonder if it is worth it. When I saw this thread I was going to rip into it but thought, what good is it really going to do? It will give the krew an extra post in a thread, which seems important to them and keep their thread near the top of the board. To me it seems most non affiliated posters have figured out what the krew is up to and don't buy into their strawman treads anymore.

Porker stans going straight to the emotional hysterics and ad hominems because they can't refute the facts

League leader in field goal percentage, turnover percentage, offensive rating, defensive rating, and win share per 48. /hysterics

No. My god what is wrong with some folks on here.

It's fun to laugh at idiots, that's for sure. I derive a lot of enjoyment from watching people who know absolutely nothing about this sport try to evaluate and determine how the Spurs should operate. It's hilarious to see people who have less than 3 years of total basketball knowledge between them decide they know more about the sport than a top 3 coach in NBA history.

the ball moves more and he's aged worse than duncan and ginobili. duncan can still play d and ginobili is still the best passer in the league... parker's greatest talent was his speed. he was a scorer, not a shooter or one with court vision. anecdotal, but i feel like this season he's missed some easy lay ups. his step has been lost imo.


i appreciate what he's done for the franchise, there was a time when we needed him. we don't anymore.


solution(s):
-trade him (non starter with pop imo)
-he comes off the bench as purely a scorer and would have an easier time scoring against the opponents' second unit. BUT him coming off the bench would slightly negate the affect of whoever would come off the bench with him: manu or patty.


despite that neither of those two options will happen, i think the spurs can and will win the championship this year. but one of the bigger obstacles is tony parker.

Nice anonymous poll you posted there. Don't want anyone to know the members of your little krew. So brave.

We blew out OKC game 6. Read between the lines gots.

[DAF86]

Parker has been awesome this season.

I don't know why TP is so hated. He is a decent PG tbh

[ChumpDumper]

Poll destroyed

Well we know more of the krew's alts, so it was worthwhile.

[skulls138]

Just a couple of weeks ago it was how great Parker is this year. You guys are so silly.

[skulls138]

Is Tony Parker your boyfriend? The amount of asshurt in your post is hilarious. You act as if OP insulted someone you know personally. Caitlyn Jenner has more balls than you.

Changing your sex takes alot of balls....metaphorically of course.

Krew members logged into all their Alts to vote and still got crushed.

The most explosive lineups of the part two years have not been Parker line ups but Manu lineups. So if you are willing to answer based on a hypothetical 20-minute game the answer is yes. The team is better without Parker.


But Manu can't play 20 m or more. So No, we are not a better team without Parker.


It's just so obvious. If okc 6 was so good why don't we start that team all the time? I had a thread last year about how exhausting it is to play at the hyper motion speed. Imagine being golden state but with old players. Parker haters always assume that benching Parker is a magical cure for every problem the spurs faced. Last year it probably should have happened but this year he's definitely deserving of starting over Manu and mills.

A lot of NBA games comes down to "who can get the easy buckets?"

There is no easier bucket than a Tony Parker layup, or the defense collapsing around him with Kawhi/Danny wide open on the perimeter.

No

I think we need him. He still has moments when he gets hot and can get timely buckets when the team is in a scoring drought. It hasn't happened often but the SL has a tendency to start slow, whether bc Danny is bricking open shots or LMA is not in rhythm or bricking his own post ups. His defense has improved and he has been fantastic some games. He's at his best these days when he tries to get others going early and then picks his spots strategically. For example if the PnP is not working with LMA bc they are not respecting him, he has to come in and pour in a few.

When he reverts to heroball Tony, he's detrimental, and the games where he has resorted to that we have gone through trouble. I think this particular transition for him is a struggle, it is a balance to keep his aggressiveness while restraining himself from getting too selfish. He has lately had a few bad games in a row and right after those, the news of his hip injury came out. I think both are related. Bur regardless of his shooting, his decision making of picking his spots is the balance he needs to achieve.

Let him recover and return to his role, he was doing quite fine for a time.

[skulls138]

There is no one still that can get as easy a shot as his medium range jumper can. He just backs up at the top of the key, goes forward and shoots cuz hes so wide open.

[gambit1990]

i've been outta town. caught about... 70% of the games played since.

-parker was bad against the nets
-scored a season high against the pistons, scored most of them in one quarter (which supports my idea of him coming of the bench, only looking to score in spurts)
-actually played well against the cavs

anyone who says i'm a bad OP. if you look up my posts you'll see that i thought parker would have a better season this year than the one before.

you'd be able to see more of how right my basketball takes have been but i posted a nude picture of a female and all my posts before then got deleted.

[gambit1990]

not even a big fan of those: "beautiful game" tributes (because the editing sucks) but notice how little parker is in them.

we're off to a fantastic start and i want parker to play good. too many times he just dribbles, dribbles, dribbles.

[picnroll]

Stick to posting nude pictures of females.

[Brazil]

Is OP the new ST idiot ?

[gambit1990]

Stick to posting nude pictures of females.

you don't think the ball moves better without parker? if you could only choose between having patty or tony, who would you choose?

people laughed when i said the mavs would make the playoffs this year even after deandre had resigned with the clippers.
