He is literally averaging those exact numbers. Even when Parker perfectly fulfills expectations, it's not enough.
Blowing his load early per par, tbh.

You completely missed his point...
He only played what ? 4 games against those... duh...
stupid...at your who cares.. such a dumb ass biased all the time
Its not just this year, homer. He's sucked against them for a while. At some point you just have to accept that he isn't good enough anymore.He only played what ? 4 games against those... duh...
stupid...
The problem with Tony is his skillset, it just doesn't match the needs of this team at his position. It would be awesome if we got a young stud PG that could get buckets in bunches, but a steady defensive minded PG that hits the open three (ala Beverly or old Dallas Kidd) would be just as good. Unfortunately, that's not Tony's game.
you gave a back handed compliment about one game this year saying he sucked against opponents that matter this year and now this is not just this year ? really dude ?
At some point you just have to read and understand what peope are saying... I'm saying he is not good enough anymore since last euro... go figure. Now he is what we have and the best option we have out there better root for him doing good. Last 5-10 games untill yesterday he has been very solid... not sure what it is so hard to say that... If he could keep up that would huge for Spurs...but but dude will suck again later
I see you, gambit.
Absolutely wrecking Rique apologists.
Well he has a point... The main issue is Parker's consistency.
House over his last 5 games:
5.8ppg on .343 shooting
Gambit is such a . Good bench players will typically have "star" level net ratings because they're playing against scrubs. I mean, the Microwave has a higher net rating than Kawhi. Guess we should find a way for House to take some of his minutes, too.
Good to see Parker have another good game after stinking it up against Charlotte, and it was against a lengthy Bucks team. Sucks he didn't get a bit more burn tonight, especially with Manu and Patty sucking.
And trust me, I don't like "relying" on Parker one bit as this team's lynchpin. But we have no choice. This team doesn't have a true PG other than him. The helmet crew needs to get it through their very thick skulls that Patty can't run the offense like Parker. He's a shooting guard who likes to move off ball, so forcing Patty into that role because of some hate boner for Parker will only affect Patty's game in the long run, as well. So they get their wish and Patty starts with Green, Kawhi, LMA, and Gasol. Where's the penetration gonna come from? Where's the guard playmaking gonna come from? Who's gonna run the pick-and-roll with LMA/Gasol and create corner 3 shots for Green? Patty can't really do that. He dribbles the ball up, passes it off to Manu, and does his Reggie Miller off-ball thing.
If you could start a 30 year old Manu beside him, I'd be all for it. But that isn't happening, so it's Parker or bust. Again.
Or we play both players together more time.
At least Kawhi looks more aggresive on offense with Mills on the floor than Parker. Also, even if Mills sucks he knows his role, he won't take more shots than Kawhi in a game.
On other hand, in the last games, Parker...
After a loss like this, we should realize that in order to win it's better that Kawhi takes the shots instead of looking his teammates missing everything.
^my goodness.
Should we do the maths?
Remember those stats where Kawhi USG% and shots were higher with Mills on the floor than Parker?
Basically, Kawhi with Parker on the court is a role player, just take the 3 or a fast-break, Parker plays P&Rs with the bigs or penetrates looking for his own shots or dish to a corner 3.
But some people here love the freeze-Kawhi-for-whole-quarters offense. Good luck in playoffs with that.

Do the maths. But also, your analysis of TP's game is just way off. TP generates more good looks for teammates than anyone else on the team and it's not close.
But we have two main scorers. Parker runs P&Rs with only one of them.
What happens with the other with Parker on the floor?.
What does Parker generate for Kawhi? A 3-point shot? Something else?
Kawhi being relegated as spot-up shooter in all Parker minutes...I would say that's an issue.
Oh boy.
Kawhi was leading the league in PPP on P&Rs, he excels on creating his own shot in those situations.
How many times we see Kawhi in P&Rs while Parker's on the floor?
It's pathetic that the leading scorer on a team must wait to the coach sits the old starting point guard to get touches...
That happens only with Parker.
FYI - for 2-man lineups for SA, Kawhi/TP has the second highest +/- per game of all 2-man units. Number one is Tp/Green. TP Kawhi works pretty darn well. TP creates better looks than anyone on the team and it's not really close tbh.

And AGAIN. Why you don't answer me? What's looks Kawhi gets with Parker on the floor? 3's? Something else?
Can he run a pick and roll while Parker is there?
Kawhi is underused on offense with Parker.
If you think that the Spurs offense of the first quarters in last 7 games can translate into playoffs success, you're so naive.
because winning a championship depends on how you've played 5 regular season gamesHouse over his last 5 games:
5.8ppg on .343 shooting
you skipped this part of the post you're referencing:
Kawhi gets plenty of touches with Parker on the floor. Force-feeding him Kobe level usage WON'T help the team like you think it would. Kawhi isn't Lebron James. He can't run an offense. So you take Parker out for Mills and there goes the only guy who can really run the offense. In the past, Parker's "tunnel vision" was mitigated by TD and Manu, both excellent playmakers who could run the offense. Kawhi isn't a very good playmaker. You're just going to have to accept that fact.
Furthermore, when House subs in for Parker the overall net rating of the starters drops from +10 to to +1.0. So yeah, House doesn't make that that unit better. But I guess he "gibs Kiwi ball moar" so it's all good in your eyes.
I prefer to maximize our odds of winning that le, and the best way to do that is keeping Parker's minutes and touches the same and hope he finds a gear. House got his shot last season against OKC and was terrible. You and the helmet crew need to shut the up about him being a "starter" (his flame out in last season's playoffs should've humbled you all). He's an inconsistent microwave player good for sparking a run from the bench. Not a starting PG.because winning a championship depends on how you've played 5 regular season games

And only a re would suggest starting Fathead/Manu, as well.
Give up your crusade.
