IMO Parker called it. They have been playing together for many years to know when your teammate wants the ball back instead of the extra pass to other.
He saw Kawhi and passed it to Manu to get it to him. Manu didn't see Kawhi and passed it back to tony.

So is easy pass, hard pass the spurs talk blue dress/white dress meme?
Guys from now on, when you talk about that screenshot disclose whether you've seen the play in real time. I've read multiple intelligent people give a play by play and explain the decisions. Then I've seen player fans say "easy pass" I know which sources I believe, do you?
Also kudos to the poster who went "if this were prime Duncan they'd pass it" well yes that's how you play with big men. Prime Duncan played isolation in the post, not ibg cross court.
This was a smart play by Parker.
Aldridge sets a high screen, Parker rubs his man off and gets a switch with Brooks on him.
Parker takes Brooks to the left of the paint while Aldridge goes to the basket pulling Parkers original cover with him and forcing Melo to rotate off Kawhi who's in the corner to help out on Aldridge.
Manu slides up higher on the left wing pulling his man Affalo with him while Kawhi slides up the right wing holding his hands up for the ball.
Parker slides up the wing a bit pulling Brooks further away from the basket and passes to Manu who is now above the circle pulling Affalo to the top of the paint.
Same time Galloway rushes out to cover Kawhi and Aldridge has Melo pinned on his back on the left block still with Brooks on Parker.
Aldridge slides above Melo hooking and pinning him while Parker makes the easy drive past Brooks into a wide open lane for a layup.
Only someone like dumbom can miss that not being the easiest, best play. Parker isolated on Brooks and dumbom wants him to not take advantage of the situation. Good thing Parker, Manu and Aldridge aren't as dumb as the short bus krew.

Not sure that 2016-Parker's iso has higher probability than Kawhi attacking the rim against an small defender like Galloway without rim protection.
Watch the replay. It wasn't even close.
If Leonard was not happy would not have resigned
Did you watch the game, I remember the possession pretty well. Parker saw Kawhi and passed the ball. Sorry if that doesn't fit your narrative.
Funnier ? that or people like you acting like they never played basketball before ?
This is not a ing easy pass, dat would have been a slow dumb lob pass ready to be intercepted
Parker was really good, the ball went in the hole...except the last shot. But again, Iso-Parker in more than two possessions in clutch time over Kawhi/LMA mismatches isn't a truly sustainable way
I watched every single Spurs game this season, if miss one watch it the next day on LP, also, I rewatched entire games or quarters, especially the 2nd half in Washington/Houston...I remember the play very well, too.
