    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).
    Was that the reason why Parker didn't get benched in the Clippers series?

    IIRC Mills was shooting great and still Parker played a lot of minutes, looking like a until the last game.

    I am putting the whole thing on Pop TBH. Is he getting soft?
    It's the loyalty thing that kills him and the team. Pop said that Manu/Parker have earned those minutes/FGAs but it seems like he doesn't realize how much those two players have aged.

    The season can't start soon enough when kids are hating on Spurs players. We need some rivalries abrewing with Durbeta and GSW crew, Clippers, and whoever else.
    I don't get it, tbh... the only Spurs player that deserves and truly earned this kind of hate is Matt Bonner.... the rest, you can criticize here or there, but hate? come on...

    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 .
    You truly are a special type of stupid or re ed. I hope you don't use such stupid, skewed logic in your everyday life.

    For the last time (for stupid), the Big 3 are old and aren't impact players anymore. None of them are/were last season and beyond. Tony doesn't decide the rotations, minutes or any of the on-court matters, Popovich the coach does. He supposedly had a hand with Manu and Tim on PERSONNEL DECISIONS.

    None of that matters, cause Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge were the two best and important players, but underperformed when it mattered most. THE BLAME SHOULD FALL ON THE SHOULDERS OF KAWHI, LAMARCUS & POPOVICH.

    Imagine how stupid DaDumbass' argument would be if he rooted for OKC or Golden State.

    "That POS Roberson/Bogut (Tony) cost us the series against Golden State/Cleveland, they didn't magically play over their head. Nah, it isn't Durant-Westbrook-Donovan/Curry-Thompson-Green-Kerr's fault even though they are the best players and the actual decision maker."

    "No, I'm going to be stupid and blame the ing role player only."

    There is a big difference between hate and criticism.

    I've said before that I don't hate Parker. What I hate is Parker not being willing to accept a role, to adapt his game...

    Also, I find it very stupid that people call me hater when I just post "he has been a Net negative player in the last two postseasons"

    Unlike, most Parker stans in this thread who called Kawhi re ed at every chance, I never called Parker, Porker/choker/whatver

    Tell me why I'm "hating on him."

    Gregg Popovich is your answer, friend. He (stupidly) decide to play Tony over Corey Joseph and Patty Mills. Tony wasn't either good or heathly enough to play in that series, but Pop just keep trotting him out there.

    The players have pride and aren't going to admit when they shouldn't play. The coach needs to be flexible enough to know when that time has come. Pop has in the past but for whatever reason was unwilling to make that needed move.

    Tony got destroyed by Paul and the team lost with his piss poor play.

    Like Paker has accepted to be a role player in playoffs...

    Don't be naive.

    If they aren't "productive," which they still are but you are too dumb to notice, why do you continually place blame on the "unproductive" PG? Is it becauee you are too insecure to place blame on your man crushes?

    Probably so....

    You're done cause you can't make a substantive argument. Your IQ is too low.

    Go huddle up with your boyfriends and have another bukkake session to that picture of Kawhi and Patty. Maybe it'll inspire to have a valid thought.

    Maybe because that move would destroy Parker's ego-I-mean-pride. If it's true that tells me a lot about the player

    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.
    ▪Manu is still a better playmaker than 90% of the league
    ▪Everybody loses speed & has to figure out a way to still be productive. Has his game aged gracefully? Probably not as much as Timmy's, but whose has?
    ▪Not his fault that he's aged & can't compete with the younger, faster, elite guards anymore.. it's part of life
    ▪Coulda/woulda.. it wasn't meant to be, & that's not Tony's fault at all

    How can anyone truly hate Matt Bonner? I've said many times, you wanna hate TP, Bonner, Manu coming off the bench, etc...it's all on Pop right? He's the decision maker imo. Duncan the foundation. We've won 5 (should have been 6-8) championships in San Antonio ing Texas and all you es want to hate TP, Bonner, Manu, Drunk Coyote, Att Center fans, etc...? I love my team, spent countless hours and thousands of dollars watching them. But I hate this ing fan Base. This is like the West Virginia of America...infer as you will

    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.

    Why are you trying to psycho analyze a person you don't know? Tony isn't some fragile child or insecure teenager.

    He has been benched before, for George Hill matter of fact, and I'm sure he is smart enough to know that his time as a starter is coming to an end.

    I really was hoping they would find that candidate this offseason, but that didn't happen. They need to pray he holds up (as a starter) one last season and then they can send him to the bench.

    And the fact that Tony is so polarizing within our own fanbase gives some credence to the article. We all have an idea in our minds of what point guard is "supposed" to do and Parker has never fit that mold. So when he fails or performs poorly, it feels magnified because he doesn't ever reach the "expectations" we have set for him. Or something like that.....

    He also is just a flawed athlete and person (who has been in the same place for 15 years), but we all are, and for whatever reason people want to crucify him for that. And constantly pick apart his missteps and failures.

    Note: My thoughts are not in order so please don't feel like I'm attacking you, ElNono or SAGirl. My responses to y'all are the third and fourth paragraph. Not the first two.

    Why are you assuming that "a person you don't know" isn't insecure/doesn't have a fragile ego?...

    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".
    Proceed to on Parker every time you mention him, but you use this quote to say "I ain't hating"

    He is a guy that was put through the ringer, cursed at and was the coach's "whipping boy" when he first arrived to the NBA, so I'm sure at 34 years old he can handle being benched. It has happened in the past and he handled it fine.

    Plus, he is just old while becoming less and less productive, so it would stand to reason that he'd eventually move to the bench. Unless you are an all-time great (Kobe, O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, Pippen, Nowitzki, etc.) you rarily get to age and continue to start.

    Like OP says every fan has a perception of a Spurs player. But "I ain't hatting on him", I critize him.

    Hatting on a player it's about insulting him, being disrespectful toward him, wishing him the worst...I never posted about Parker in that way.

    When he was too young like in 2003 or really injured like in 2014, I'm not sure how he would react now. However, I doutb he will be moved into a bench role in the next two seasons.

    Unless he tells Pop. Or RC gets Pop a nice bottle of wine and doesn't give it to him until Pop agrees.

    Tony got a max extension after he was and everyone said it was a bad idea.

    He was even back then. People almost forget just cause we rang.
