tony in playoff choke mode
behind Patty and Miller for a few weeks to rest? With Patty finding his rhythm, Andre doing a solid job, and Manu's return around the corner, we're going to need Tony in tip top shape for the season's stretch run.
This is probably as good a time as any to do it, tbh...

Should Butler get Manu's minutes? Spurs been winning without Manu
oh, and he needs the rest tbh
Not even trolling, I'm actually highlighting how we're going to need Parker at a decent level if we want to do anything... He's been just pretty darned terrible lately, especially defensively...
But I think fatigue has to play a part in that, he's played over the summer, and he was already kinda gassed at the end of the season last year...
No. Not unless Mills, Miller, and Green are all injured.
When Manu comes back just flat out don't play him for the easier games. Especially if we fall further behind GS
Haha terrible? Didn't he just lead us in scoring for like 4 games in a row and is still like the best shooting PG in the league?
Yeah, he's been pretty terrible, slow footed... I'm glad Kawhi has picked it up since coming back, but we need a healthy Tony in about a month and a half, we can't have Clippers Tony again...
Has parker ever benefitted from rest? He got time off last year and didn't help. Took summer off in 2014 and it didn't help. I'd rather let him play out of the funk and stay in shape
Check that...Parker is still the best shooting player among all PGs, SGs, and SFs in the league. Terrible...you guys probably have the worst possible takes imaginable. I'm not even sure how you could dream up a worse take than that.
What do you want him to do? Not only be the best shooting non-big in the league, but also lead the league in scoring and assists? I mean, what exactly do you want out of the guy?
Better field goal % than any PG in the league...how is that difficult to understand? Are you guys really this slow?
We know how good Tony can be, that's all we want. I'm not even saying he sucks, but he clearly is nowhere near the level we need him to be. Tonight getting yanked 2 minutes into the game was the latest example.
I don't want to hear again that "he was injured" during another playoff run... he needs to rest before he hurts himself...
He's in a slump and not playing as well as he was in November and December
This is actually a legit point.
Maybe shave minutes not entire games.
We tried that with Tim and he looked like when he came back. No straight up DNPs. However, Pop should lower his minutes to rest him a little and let Kawhi/LMA/Patty lead the Spurs during this stretch. Rest Parker when the Spurs secure the 2 seed.
If slump means slow on D, he has got that. He is not moving his feet quickly at all.
The guy's in his 15th season and has changed his game from being a volume scorer to the best shooting non-big in the league. I can't imagine the amount of criticism you guys would have if he wasn't literally leading all backcourt players in shooting.
Nope Tony stays in the starting line-up but patty gets more mins plus in the line-up in the remaining mins in the 4th quarter...
Patty must be paired with a ball handler, not just Green out there with him.
I'm all for benching that fatass.
What? He didn't change his game from November to February. Same thing happened last season. He's just burned out.
I'm hoping that Pop is throwing Miller into the fire now so he can give Tony some extended rest before the playoffs.
This thread actually legitimizes Tony's importance to the team. If I thought he flat out sucked, I would want him to get injured not rested...
suggested it four weeks ago.
OP with the goods.
