what does parker do? bail out KL
I find it laughable too. You would assume a real FMVP wouldn't have to rely on so many others to be considered - the man... role player
why? Spurs won. KL just needs to get it together before WCF or he will be exposed.
average less assists than draymond & lowry in the 2016 nba playoffs.
play 13 more minutes than andre miller in an elimination game while getting one less assist and having two more turnovers than a 40 year old pg.
He's going to Sizzler!
average 9.8 points, 4.8 assists, 2.3 turnovers against a stacked memphis team
and today against serbia:
Parker's final performance in Paris likely wasn't the one he envisioned. He finished with 10 points on 1-of-11 shooting and added six assists.
earlier this year in the trade deadline thread i proposed tp, green, bonner for dragic, whiteside, mcroberts, and gerald green... and people on this forum hated it
Eat cap space (pun intended)
Be a top-3 scorer on the team and lead the team in assists like he has his whole career.
Wohoo! Andre Miller! The man who scored 2 points on 33% shooting and had 4 assists in garbage time! Amazing!
he's the starting pg you dumbass, leading the team in assists is literally the least he can do.
parker got benched with 7 minutes left to go in the third and never returned. the spurs looked a lot better in the second half than the first. go watch it, miller controls the tempo, has great court vision.
parker fans stills using "he leads the team in assists"
if we're so lucky to have a different starting pg next year... guess what? he'll lead the team in assists too.
and you can cite those numbers... but even then andre miller outplayed tp. in an elimination game. embarrassing.
So now scoring 1/3 the points on worse shooting is playing better? Got it.
Let's see him do it for 15 years in a row...and lead the team in scoring for a bunch of them.parker fans stills using "he leads the team in assists"

Parker was already on a sharp decline in 2014. He was a bum these last 2 playoffs. Do people still think scoring is enough to offset his lack of playmaking/defense? He is a liability especially vs championship caliber teams that can easily take advantage. He has no 3 point shot, he can't do his tear drop anymore, and jumper is shot when you really need it. He also doesn't get to the free throw line anymore.
Does anyone still ing defend him?
andre miller shot 1/3... but had 2 more rebounds, 1 more assist, and 2 less turnovers than parker. parker played for 23 minutes. miller? 9.
tp was also -9 that game, miller was +9.
and some stuff doesn't show up in the boxscore, stuff i previously mentioned: miller's control of tempo & court vision.
i don't need that from our next starting pg. i just need him to be better than tony parker is at the present moment.

Bails Spurs out of only elimination game with 32 points
2/4/3/0/0 on 33% shooting
Amazing garbage-time stats in a blowout loss. If this is the type of thing you're looking for, then you're right: Parker's not your guy.
No 3 point shot? You do realize he shot 43% last year and 42% this year from 3 right?Parker was already on a sharp decline in 2014. He was a bum these last 2 playoffs.

You know that Steph Curry has never shot better than 45% from 3 right?
He shot 0% in the clippers series....
I'm not here to argue with porker slurpers.
