Now you are learning something. He is also a better defender than Tony.
Tony Parker carried the Spurs from 2007 to 2014
Ive never seen fans disrespect their own legend so much like they do on this forum
Was it because he said Kobe is the MJ of their generation??
There's a difference between "rest" and eat like a pig (2014-2015) and rest but staying in shape.
No. We need energy off the bench. Tony would kill that 2nd unit.
It's because a decent number of posters on this forum aren't Spurs fans. They're easy to spot, they use the word " got" a lot and post 47 topics per day about how their random musings make them more knowledgeable than Popovich.
There's still a thread around here that talks about how terrible of a coach Pop is.
Thinking you're replying to a real poster.![]()
I seriously doubt it, but who knows. We used to have a pretty solid contingent of Pistons fans here when they were good.
Read up the "easy schedule" thread and you'll get your answer.
Even the Mav fan contingent wasn't that bad. The Lakers fan contingent that invaded this place in '08 brought down the quality by several notches.
You can tell by how he defended Tony he's from France. Narrow that down.
Yes. This is how Pop should be with TP. But look at the playoffs last season, they didn't bench him when he had defensive lapses. Every analyst was wondering why Pop chose to play TP more than Mills considering he was dealing with a nagging injury and he was playing awful. I was surprised Pop sat Parker so soon in the Pels game and down the stretch in the 4th quarter in favor of Mills. Finally.
Spurs are 52-9 and fine
why would you start parker off the bench ? to get rest ? this is as stupid as it possibly can be... let's shake up stuff in March and unbalance what the team is doing... great idea
Parker carried a bit more lately than he should have, he is slower right now than a couple of weeks ago but with Manu back, Tim being ok... just limit his minutes when possible on the low 25 like yesterday and shut it down on back to backs.
People giving rational thoughts in a trolling thread. Loose yourself a little and relax

uh oh Brazil talking logically, doesn't he realize that there is no place for truth nukes, on a thread where posters are busy trying to troll others?
Muahaha.. next year big 3 will be history.. it will be just Kwahi and LMAplha.. every one should realise that.
We could honestly be 60-1 and people on this forum would be asking for a roster change. The level of stupidity is off the charts. Thankfully we have Pop and RC behind the wheel and not these stable geniuses.
You should know that ElNono is never on the "pure" trolling, he is on the subtle business. This thread is made to look like a troll thread but the subtle part is that under theI want Parker doing well
it is to point out that Parker is struggling, increase a bit the hate level of the forum that has been quiet on him and prepare the ground for Manu's come back then he will have the "he is 200 y/o, back from injury and still better than Parker".... and it works nicely... you can see the fatass Porker posts popping up here and there.
El is the best Parker hater of this forum and it is not even close...![]()
Why is it stupid? stupid is letting him keep on banging and tearing down when we have like 5 games against OKC and the Thunder in about two weeks, followed by the playoffs.
It's been two seasons in a row where we gotta hear how "but Tony was clearly injured" when the playoffs come around. It would be nice for once that he isn't "injured" but well rested, etc.
I didn't even said to shut him down, just give him token minutes to keep his rhythm...
FWIW, Bobo is another guy that's showing signs of fatigue and could also use some rest, IMO.
That's too machiavellian
There are some subtleties in the OP, no doubt, but the concern is legit, tbh
How playing off the bench is gonna help on the banging and tearing part ? he will play what ? 3 mn less per game ? and in counterpart you take the risk to change the dynamic of a 52-9 ? You can rest him by limiting his minutes like yesterday and shut him down on back to backs.
why using the " " ? is this somebody else opinion not yours ? are you implying this is bull ala Kobe excuses and distance yourself from thoses stances ? why don't call a spade a spade ?
token minutes... translation: "we should use Andre Miller as a starter, patty off the bench and play Parker during garbage time"
he is already playing off the bench tho... not working much for him but maybe it would work for Parker... humm ok

Manu being close to return should be enough joy in your heart... but no, it's never enough... you are the equivalent of a scavenger smelling blood, ready to eat again on a dead body even though your stomach is already full... the Krew is following tho so good for ya brah
10-15 mins a game against weak compe ion, no back to backs... enough time to get some shots off, etc. No bruising, running through screens, etc.
Because Tony never said he was injured, and he went to play for France as soon as the season was over. If I have to decide based on what he did, he wasn't "injured", just burned out. But here plenty of peeps dropped the "injured" cop out. I don't want to hear cop outs again. Two playoffs in a row now.
He's a guy that might need to get shut down for a while. It's concerning, because unlike Parker, he's played about the same minutes as Tim and West this season, and he looks worn out.
IMO, Bobo really is somebody we can't afford to struggle, he's a huge part of the bench play.
I'm happier seeing Patty playing well, and making timely shots, in case we need another 2014 cameo from him. But, obviously, I rather have Tony healthy, tbh...
