His vision is not below average. You are being ridiculous and foolishly harsh because you are an argie

Bruh, TP has been playing lately but his vision has always been trash.

[spursistan]

Saying it was a bad time to take him out since the Spurs could've pushed the lead to 25+.

Is Pop doing this on purpose, tbh? a redhot Kawhi 1:24 left in half (15 minutes rest coming) gets yanked having only 1 foul..I'm truly disgusted by this micromanaging old fart..

[DAF86]

There's no excuse. But where you went too far is saying his vision sucks. That is just stupid Argie hate. He took his time, it was a long cross court pass and ya, he should have done it sooner.

Manu might have tossed it into the stands. Just different players. But just because he missed one guy does not mean his vision sucks

Are you happy with "below average vision for a hall of fame point guard"?

P/S: You have been here long enough to know that I'm not a Parker hater.

[spurraider21]

So, does this mean Facilitator Parker tonight?

4 FGA, 7 Assists, 1 Turnover...

[FkLA]

Isn't that what HOTS was doing?

Yeah, he did actually.

If he consistently plays like he did this first half I'll be thrilled. When he looks spry, more times than not he uses it to get his. That's what I have problem with. I hope he has turned into a team player overnight but I have my doubts considering the fact that he has a history of putting on his hero cape during games, tbh.

[Spurtacular]

It's almost worth the Spurs drop a game, just to see you "remember" that you bet the other way.

I thought about betting on the raptors to cover... then i thought it; raptors in SA are trash.


On a side note, was at small d was a pick. Eastern Conference is that ty. Could be ecf finalists; but not even favored vs the lowly mavs.

Also, best thing so far tonight:

Fathead - 0 mins

[objective]

You know it's a good game for Parker when he scores on a fast break.

I remember the games the last two years of him pulling up on breaks that used to be easy scores, teardrops vanished into memory.

Tony Parker just moved into #63 in NBA history in minutes played, passing Latrell Sprewell with 35,271 career minutes.







Jordan Howenstine ‏@AirlessJordan

Kawhi Leonard's 5 three-pointers in the first half are the second most he's ever had in a half. Had 6 in the second at Memphis 12/3/15.







Jordan Howenstine ‏@AirlessJordan

Tony Parker now has more made field goals in the NBA than Julius Erving. Parker passes Dr. J for #58 all time with his 7,238th basket.







Jordan Howenstine ‏@AirlessJordan

LaMarcus Aldridge now has 12 three-pointers this season (12-25), second most he's ever had in a season in his career. High is 37 in 2014-15.

4 FGA, 7 Assists, 1 Turnover...

That would be amazing if he can contain his inner-hero consistently.

[Chinook]

Kawhi and LMA playing the way we all dreamed they would tonight.

Kawhi taking threes and shots at the rim combined with LMA showing some grit inside is doing wonders. It also helps that Tony is able to get almost anything he wants.

[RD2191]

Can't around in the 3rd like we usually do.

[Robz4000]

Is Pop doing this on purpose, tbh? a redhot Kawhi 1:24 left in half (15 minutes rest coming) gets yanked having only 1 foul..I'm truly disgusted by this micromanaging old fart..

At least the rest of his decisions tonight have been spot on.

[DPG21920]

Bruh, TP has been playing lately but his vision has always been trash.

No bruh - it hasn't. I'm not claiming he's Nash, but his vision has never been even close to below average.

[FkLA]

He has almost every night. People fail to realize that while he's a scoring PG more (and one of the best ever finishers) the system is what limits his assists. Not his vision or selfishness. He was always leading the league (or close to it) in hockey assists.

He plays like a PG all the time - PG's dont play the same every game but they are responsible for actually running an offense and creating which TP has always done at a very high level.

He's not a Nash/CP that just handles all the time until they find an assist though.

What a ty post.

I can dig this.

[DAF86]

Well, I don't know about you but I don't know of many PGs that wouldn't have hit Kawhi within 0.5 seconds there. If you don't accept that Parker's vision has always been below average for a hall of famer PG then you're being a homer suckup, tbh.

[BillMc]

Might as well not even root for your own team.

It's called analysis my friends, and looking at the team/numbers/matchups and saying the team won't win it all doesn't make them bad fans; the fact they'll be rooting their asses off with the rest of you means they care just as much.

Sadly, I don't see much analysis, Rob. Except for Chinook and DPG and a few others such as yourself, analysis left this site with Bruno and TiMvp, What I see is "Porker" and "Kawhi isn't clutch" and "Pop and RC suck" and a struggling young player is a "Fathead." I see defeatists who rant because their team isn't an overwhelming favorite.

As far as rooting, making a game thread calling your team "paper tigers" in the le isn't rooting. It's covering all your bases in case of a loss. It'd be like going to a home game and holding up a sign that says "Spurs are Crap!" just in case they lose.

Okay, my diaper is full. Anger is not my MO.

Time to take the meds...

[spurs10]

Good half ..with energy! Let's make it 48!

No - I'm not happy with that . He's not below average!

[FkLA]

That's why I say his vision sucks. Maybe I should have said "his vision is below average" to don't hurt people's feelings but the fact remains, a good passer hits the star player on a hot shooting streak in less than a second.

Manu would've seen that pass 5 seconds before Enrique did, that's for sure.

[RD2191]

No bruh - it hasn't. I'm not claiming he's Nash, but his vision has never been even close to below average.

TBH
