this is more of a problem than people are willing to admit... or they just aren't smart enough to realize.
we cannot afford the person who has the ball the most being so ineffective.
Tony has been down the road too many times. He approaches it now like a union worker. Time to make the doughnuts... I've made the doughnuts (and then ate them).
Remember this:
That's gone.

Thing is...Parker was playing some of the best basketball I've seen from him, right before the all-star break. His shooting percentage was way up, and he was shooting jumpers consistently.
What happened after the all-star break? You don't go from playing great, to being too old to play...in one month. I honestly believe something else is going on here.
Whether Pop asked him to tone it down to get LMA into the game, whether he had an injury. Remember him sitting one game with an injury, and Andre started and played great...then Parker didn't want to sit again after that, and came back next game and played great. Something else is going on here. That...or he's found a good bookie to bet against the Spurs with.
parker doesn't want his role minimized further tbh.
he's never gotten the love td or manu did.
and now kawhi and la are the stars.
if his role gets smaller, he has to worry about getting dropped... by a chinese shoe company.
And eliminate Chris Paul from the playoffs...that is until the Spurs went another direction and minimized Parker's role.
By the way, good luck with CP3 getting out of the second round this year! I'm starting to think he may never make a Conference Finals in his career. And that with a stacked team and championship coach. It's sad, really.

idk if there was ever any truth to that parker for cp3 trade a few years ago... but if we had had cp3... we would've repeated already tbh.

parker is still really goodthe spurs need him
Another trend seen with Parker in seasons 2nd half and especially this past month.....
Often when he does pass the ball, he waits until the shot clock is below 5. Still takes a couple dribbles, fakes a drive and shot and dumps it off hot potato style to an unsuspecting Spur. Who then has to grab the hot potato and chuck it up before the shot clock goes off.
Parker: "see see I passed it!".
tony will make his first pass of the possession with around 14 seconds left on the shot clock... a few seconds later, he will get the ball back and then do this:

Cot damn, I didn't realize Wall has been THIS ty since the half-way mark of the season.
Kevin Johnson was basically a rich-man's Porker & he got phased out by the Suns when he lost his speed/quickness in his early 30s. The Suns had the luxury to do so b/c they had Kidd/Nash.
Isiah Thomas also knew when to call it quits despite being 32 since he had nothing to prove by trying to comeback from an achilles injury. Let's just hope Tony's achilles pops this upcoming summer, it's been begging to be let out. (I believe the Spurs will get an injury exception & Ty Lawson needs to be saved!)

Great point! Isiah Thomas knew when to call it quits, Tony Parker doesn't. If he is the starting point guard next season, the spurs will suffer the next few years. How anyone can watch last year's playoffs, this entire season and those 4 warriors games and think the Spurs are going to beat them in a 7 game series with Tony Parker and Danny Green? Parker is useless. Danny parties too much. Pop wants to trot Parker out there until he is 40 years old for goodness sakes. They don't have a contingency plan for developing a young pg to take Tony's spot. Sad.

Wizards fans think most of their players phased out Wittman and are trying to get him fired..probably accurateCot damn, I didn't realize Wall has been THIS ty since the half-way mark of the season.

6 points on 3-9 shooting, plus 4 assists tonight. amazing performance.
Kiwi with 13pts on 4-10 shooting
Spurs won't see Curry if they can't get past OKC. Tony is being guarded by Farmar and Munford. He'll have a harder time against Westbrook and Foye.Kiwi with 13pts on 4-10 shooting
Should have taken Lawson and tried to develop him like I said tbh. Being next to cancers drained all his talent but he was a 15/9 player on terrible teams with no spacing. There isn't gonna be a market for PGs this offseason that are remotely attainable for the Spurs.
sloppy play; turns it over and then looks around for the call instead of getting back on defense. we're in trouble when he's not facing d league point guards in the 2nd round. at least patty is finding his groove.
Bunch of fatties complaining about a top NBA point guard
one thing that bothers me about parker is that... even though he's lost a step, he still needs to use his quickness more. that's when he's most valuable to us. his quickness allows him to score easier and breaks down opponents defense.
i hate how he walks the ball up the court like it's a pet dog with three legs. he lets the defense settle, get in position, get comfortable.
what i'd like to see from parker:
-be quick more often
-hold the ball less
-cut to the basket when he doesn't have the ball
i'd rather him get more shots up than him be our game manager.
parker should have a good series. we'll see what happens.
He wasn't playing like an All Star at any point this season
He was hustling on D and picking his spots, and had a few games where it looked like he found that extra step or five he's been missing the last three years. Now he's regressed a bit as well all knew he would, mostly on the defensive end, imo. Not much we can do about it, I thought we were done beating this dead horse tbh
shoot the damn floater, Tony
