Both sides have good points tbh. My 2 cents about the playoffs and against the only teams that are threats in the west (gsw, lac, houston)
1. Parker won't average 15 ppg (a ppg that a 3rd option usually has) against those teams. I just cant see it, his main threat, penetrating, is negated by Blake and Deandre. Rockets has Beverly on him. While against GSW, you cant hide him on anyone and you would want kawhi and lma to take more shots than usual against gsw, so for parker to have 15ppg considering the mouths to feed is very counter intuitive.
2. I agree that we dig ourselves into this hole by not addressing the PG issue. Also, I agree that Parker is the better starter not because of height and consistencyas if he is consistent but because Patty is the bench's main offense. Making him a starter and moving Parker to the 2nd unit will give us more problems, it is a "solution" to a "problem" (tp starting) that we do not have. Thus...
3. The more important issue here is Patty needs more/half mins with Parker. Especially against teams that will force us to score on pace with them.
4. Given all of that, I think our 3rd option needs to be more of a committee members. Here me out, this year's bench is way better than last year's so it is not crazy to think that this can work. So the main part of this committee will be DG who is having a career year, Parker and Mills. At least 2 of the three, imo, can be trusted to be consistent every night in the playoffs. The next tier will be David Lee who is way better than west or last yr diaw, and Manu this will obviously take the pressure off a 60 yr old Manu and an unproven Simmons to step up in May.
Tony usually graded out pretty well in the threads I made analyzing defense. Dude's able to follow a game plan and help the team contain a guy, which isn't as easy as it should be. He used to have a ton of defensive upside against elite PGs. Now he can just be pretty solid when it counts. That's fine when he's guarding Klay or Beverly or even JR Smith.
The biggest thing those groupings show is that Dedmon needs to be playing more. IMO he is going to be a higher priority to re-sign (I believe he can opt out and no doubt will) over Mills in the off season. I think he is going to prove to be a match up nightmare for the Warriors.
Dedmon needs to play himself more. He's insanely foul prone and I don't think he's in shape enough for 30mpg. But he's been the surprise of the season for us so far, no doubt.
Get cucked got
^bamazing ballhandling from TP... he has been dishing nicely lately.
Hopefully he's healthy when the playoffs come.
and the very next play, leonard was wide open again and Parker thought, ' this , he's too hot right now.." and decided to pass at the last minute only for the ball to be knocked out of boundsGet cucked got
Or he didn't see him cause there were a couple other teammates around him on that end of the court.
We saw Kawhi wide open, but the view/action on the court is different than sitting on your couch being a spectator
you being impressed by parker passing the ball transitionGet cucked got
I'm not sure why people have a hard time comprehending this fact.
It's been proven over the past 3 seasons that when Kawhi is running the offense then Patty is the best fit & that Patty is basically useless when his shot isn't falling.
If 2014 Finals doesn't show up against the Duds then the Spurs have little hope of winning the series outside of injuries.
This happens a LOT. If it was a rare thing I would probably agree with you, but for the past 2 and a half seasons, Parker has been "missing" Leonard when he's open.
And you are running with the notion that he does it purposely to pacify his ego or something?
I guess that's the part I find silly. Guys miss people all the time. It's part of the game.
I mean, how often does Kawhi miss guys cause he's a score first player? It's just how these guys are. It's got nothing to do with any ego's
Wrong... Parker's ego is out of control...he has shaded his own teammates in the past when they've been getting too much attention (except Duncan), he has passed up kawhi NUMEROUS times till Pop had to SCREAM at him to pass it to kawhi...he can't handle kawhi becoming the most beloved spur, and being the reason the spurs win
the excuses people make for parker... it's never ending.
Ah, I see. So taking that 1 gif that people love to use here and you're coming to that conclusion.
This is just ridiculous. I'd love to know who he' shaded in the past when they got too much attention.....
Kawhi missed people, Patty and others, but when the POINT GUARD(work with me here) continues to miss the same guy that's open over and over since for the past 2 seaons,, it comes a time in which the "he didn't see him" bull ass excuse needs to stop.
in save some for April/May
I sure hope the Spurs pay Paddy stats $15M to be the starting pg next season.
The Helmet crew is stone silent tonight
If House had a 10-11 game, the semen cloud would be thicker than Gambit's skull.
Too much hate for Tony here TBH. When healthy he's a difference maker... My only concern with him is him getting nags, pulling something, which due to mileage is a risk and has been a common occurrence. Healthy Tony thankfully is something else.
2 points total the past two games
And this is the problem with Tony and Manu now. They have a random good game or two, but are just too old.
They are way past their primes but still playing major minutes.
Maybe the NBA should do what the PGA did and start a senior circuit.
