I finally understand the hatred.....

[YGWHI]

Anyway, we shouldn't hate Parker because of he's aging bad. He can't do anything about it.

But we can criticize him because he isn't willing to accept a new role, to be a cog in the machine, sacrificing his high status in order to win.

There are players who are willing to sacrifice everything for the team, Parker never was one of them. Like Lowe said, Pop felt that Manu's selflessness "might accept the bench role more readly than Parker".

Your comment runs in direct contrast to the facts and actual situation. Inaccurate statements like that are exactly why no one takes y'all Kawhi fanboys serious.

Keyword is that Manu might have accepted more readily, not that Tony would be completely against the idea. He did come off the bench during George Hill's last season in San Antonio, after all.

If you think that Parker taking and missing crucial shots in the last two playoffs has nothing to do with his personality and his inexplicable need to be the Hero...

They are only 3 pass first point guards in the NBA today which are Paul,Rubio,Rondo. Outside of those 3 you won't find a pass first point guard. Over 90 percent of point guards today are basically undersized SGs.

Also, talking about "facts" I said he has been a Net negative player in the last two postseason, his stats show it. I would call those stats "facts".

Since he can't compete against West Conference elite guards in playoffs, anymore...I'd call it a "fact" too.

But sure, it's all about "fans boys"

Exactly.

Props to your last couple of posts, sir



Funny thing is, Parker stans can't see beyond "OMG THEY HATE PARKER, IN KAWHI FANS"....when its nothing personal what so ever....

Or maybe the best player (you and the "Krews" infatuation) was too ing passive. So, a 38 year old center and an over-the-hill PG had to try to win the game(s).

Maybe Kawhi can find some of that '14 Finals magic more often and y'all can stop finding other people to blame.

You can't say this...when Parker's lack of court vision and passing skills make a 39 years old Manu our best playmaker.

Since he lost his speed he isn't the scorer he was, he isn't a true playmaker, nor a shooter, he can't adapt his game to his declining physical condition.

He can play good early in the regular season but he's aging bad and his game sucks in the playoffs, he can't compete against younger, faster, elite guards anymore.

And just for the record, put Nash along prime-Tim instead of Amar'e, and tell me how many rings that "loser" would have won.

This is probably the truth, he was great, but age robbed him of his elite speed and stamina, and having lost that, the other parts of his game are not enough to keep him elite. But whatever, these Tony vs. the World threads are getting old (Manu, Mills, etc).

The best one can hope for is like ElNono said, that he has a good season in his adjusted role. I wish for the same for Manu TBH, who at 39 is approaching the same done level, despite all the Manu fanboys here being the banner bearers for the anti-Tony parade.

I am in the camp that rather hopes for the continued development and improvement of our youth, and that these two stay healthy. I know ppl like to pit them against each other, but they might be around the same at this point and should not be guys that need to be carrying the team. Both are paid a hefty sum, and will make us go bonkers at Pop when they are still overplayed, so whatever. It's best to hope they have a good season and enjoy the show.

I am putting the whole thing on Pop TBH. Is he getting soft?

All of it, man. Parker played the least amount of minutes, scored the least amount of points and took the least amount of shots per game since his rookie season. He is old, limited and not that good anymore but the team losing in the playoffs isn't an indictment of him.

The blame mostly falls on the shoulders of Popovich, Leonard and Aldridge. Parker, Ginobili and (last season) Duncan are too old to make a significant impact, but y'all are either too stupid or too afraid to place appropriate blame.

Same reason y''all run to head Stephen Jackson for quotes or cry about an old ass PG being " ty, TOSB or POS."

Which is hilarious in actual real world context because Parker is infinitely more succesul in his field than all of us.

"But, but, but he got old, is ty now and played poor a bunch of times in a long storied career."

Brah. He can tell Pop to bench his ass at any time you stupid . He didn't. He IS the sole reason for us losing these past 2 years.

You have a stupid ing imagination of how works.

I gave Pop a pass bc truly Timmy fell off a cliff and that caught Pop offguard. When your second best big in a playoff series is Dworst bc Tim is hurt, Spurs weren't going far anyways. And now I kind of hope Manu doesn't go the same way as Tim bc it would be a shame for Pop to over-rely on these guys and then get faced with a situation he can't adjust to bc some of his key guys are missing/injured not 100%. Thus, why I said it's best to just hope everyone is healthy.

After that, yea it's all on Pop.

I don't hate Parker. Also, I didn't have any issue with him being the "scoring leader" -like SASDynasty loves to point out at every chance- when he was in his prime.

But I hated to see Parker taking the ball from Patty's hands in the Clippers series when Mills was shooting great... I hated to see Parker taking those shots in game 5 against OKC when he was the guard who would find and create for his main scorers

You are just stupid and "imagine how things work." No one on this ing message board or in any fanbase "knows how it works."

We aren't there making the decisions and deciding who plays when. That is the coach's decision, idiot. The same coach that ran the offense through your crush Kawhi and Aldridge. The same two players that underperformed during the end of the OKC series and caused us to lose.

The same coach that benched Tony on numerous occasions in the regular season, but couldn't do so against OKC. Since your other man crush, Patty Mills, is absolute on defense and wasn't making his shots (the only thing he is good at).

No, but please remind me about how I "imagine " about all of this. When you idiots literally act like pseudo sports therapists making up motivations, emotions and relationships for a bunch of athletes y'all have never met.

Oh, I forgot. GOT, GOT, GOT.....

Tony is part of the Big three. Did you not read the Manu article on how they all 3 and Pop decide on the big . Tony can tell Pop to bench his ass. He has that much power you stupid .

OP has made the best troll thread since "Duncan refused to go to olypics " storm. Congrats on baiting the 4 or 5 dumb ass kids who don't remember how much we talked about PArker last year.

Yep...Because Kawhi has to hit Parker's in the stomach to take the ball, right?

Or you don't remember Pop calling Parker out against OKC in the regular season because he didn't want to pass the ball to Kawhi?

Kawhi was the most efficient scorer in game 5 OKC series, why in the a vet point guard who is way past his prime would'nt create for his main scorer in the game instead of looking for his own shot?
