Game Grades: Bucks at Spurs (1/10/17)

[DeRozan m8]

Knew this was coming. Thanks for trying, but you are going to have to go to summer school if you want to advance to the next grade.

Someones cut at his fave players grade lmao

[tbdog]

That was a hard game to give up. We are on Dubs tail and we let that one go. We were clearly the better team and got some great looks, Leonard, Greenx4, and Bertans got it halfway down. To lose, at home. Ouch. The tape will show that they got to the hoop and finished far to easily. Pack it up, move ahead, next game.

you turned your whole grades around Parker... it's a shame you cannot refrain yourself from spoiling the game grades that have been great untill now with your dirty agenda tbh

Wait, did I not grade the rest of the team or something? I gave everyone the grade that I saw fit. You may enjoy your hero freezing out Kawhi but I don't. Like apa said, switch Enrique with Westbrook and Kawhi with Durant, and that sequence in the 2nd Quarter turns into a national story. To make matters worse, Enrique is a washed up scrub. Atleast Westbrook is an in his prime, Top 10 player.

But somehow it's supposed to be ok if Enrique does it bc he's French or bc he's supposedly a Spurs legend.

Well, Parker was not the problem in this game. He played well enough and when he took shots in the second quarter, he made them, so what difference does it make if Kawhi is making the basket or Tony, so long as it goes in (unless you are a player fan and not a Spurs fan, in which case, dumb things matter). The problem in this game, was that the Spurs could not get a player on Beasley that could defend him other than Kawhi and Pop thought it necessary to stick Kawhi on J. Parker, initially, and then the point guard for some inexplicable reason. Kawhi should have been on Beasley until J. Parker showed that Green, Simmons, and Betrans could not guard him either.

When did I blame him? There were two players with worse grades than him. I said Enrique had a somewhat decent game and his grade reflects that, imho.

Step your game up. You're my dude and I know you can do better. Don't fall into the trap.

Sucks that the Rique apologists have ruined the thread but I do it for the ST familia, not them.

Pobrecito. And you accuse dpg of whining.

Stop it. You're not a good talker. Too feminine.

Parker grade and writeup is a bit harsh. As others have said it sad to see you cant keep your parker agenda out of your grades.

I will say that I didnt like that he made a few shots and then started forcing it. He has come along way from what he used to do, but he still needs to get better at taking what is given too him. He was doing really well for a few possesions and kept trying to force it inside when nothing was there instead of involgint teammates. A C+ or B- would possibly be fair for his game.

Outside of that run at the end of the 2nd quarter he was pretty good. One bad run doesn't turn the grade into a D in my opinion.

You and the hooked on phonics krew continue to be preoccupied with my sexuality.

Ofcourse one stretch can deserve a massive blow on the grade specially since the spurs were on the way to winning comfortably in the second until parker started to force shots again.

Its all about context.

Naah, there is no context related to Tony that can explain Beastley going rage like that. And of course, not even Brogdon was on him when that guy hit those flukish 3 pt shots. It is what it is, TP played more than good enough for us to win that game, if everything else were at least on par.

FkLa serious question, have you not seen the times when Pop demands the ball go to Kiwi, I sure have and you know what it goes to him, yet by your theory Tony can "ignore" Kiwi for entire quarters without consequence. Pop will call a timeout after one defensive lapse but by your theory he will allow the offense to be sabotaged repeatedly, doesn't sound like any Spurs team I can remember.

Pop played Kawhi less minutes than KD in last playoffs, Spus were outplayed when Kawhi was on the bench.

Pop insisted to pair Boris and West against Kanter-Adams/ Kanter-Ibaka instead of playing LMA more minutes.

Pop didn't make a move until the last game of OKC series when it was too late.

Pop couldn't do anything against double high-screens Doc's strategy, they killed the Spurs in that play every game of the series.

Pop played an injured Parker when Patty was so hot against Clips.

Yeah...Pop didn't call a TO last game when Parker didn't look for Kawhi in two whole quarters, he should...But he has made bigger mistakes, right?

If we read last game-grades, guys lowered Kawhi's grades when he was forcing it...But then someone gave Parker a low grade for the same reason...their fans get mad.

Kawhi scored 26 points against Boston shooting .52% 100% FT, 6 asts. He had a few TOs and get a...C. I don't remember Brazil, DPG and the rest of guys saying that was a low grade even when Kawhi was the best player on the court and the main reason for Spurs win like Brad Stevens said.

For ST standards it's fine to give Kawhi low grades but not to Parker. Good to know it.

[pookenstein]

Maybe because it was an average game for Kiwis standard nowadays. He's been so good that games like Boston are what is expected from Leonard.

Parker on the other hand is portrayed as a total scrub by you and the rest of the Anti-TP krew, yet he gets a below average grade for a 14/7 statline.

I wouldn't give a C to the player who was the best player of a game the Spurs won.

And you wouldn't give F to the player who didn't create plays for the best scorer on the court, forced it, and took more shots than him in a game that the Spurs lost.

That's fine. So why the scandal with the rest of guys?

Grades are so personal views, personal narratives.

I didn't call that guy 'a Kawhi's hater' for a low grade...I thanked him for his time and just said that I didn't share his grading criteria.

But the rest of the guys here overreacted calling everyone who didn't think like them about Parker...Parker haters Anti Parker.

For the record, like I've said a million times, I DON'T hate Parker. I used to LOVE him. But he's not the player he was, he can't contribute in playoffs, he has been net negative in the last two. And I don't want him on my team anymore, at least not in a starting point guard role.

There is a big difference between 'don't like' and 'hate'.

[GSH]

Fk FkLA.

[YGWHI]

This is stupid, but you know that. If you watched the game, did TP take bad shots at the expense of feeding Kawhi? No, but you know that.

I will say that I didnt like that he made a few shots and then started forcing it.

Yes, he did.

Did TP set up others with good looks? Yes

But those good looks were for other player not named Kawhi and they missed those shots. A good look for a role player isn't the same that a Kawhi's shot.
Kawhi was on fire, why Parker couldn't create for the hot hand instead of trying with the other guys or looking for his own shot? Why Parker waited until the stretch to share the ball with him?

The Spurs wouldn't have needed a desperate 3 shot at the end of the game if our defense would have worked but also...if the only main scorer in LMA's absence would have taken more FGAs than just 16.
But it was hard for Kawhi to get a FGA when the starting point guard was looking for himself.

[spurraider21]

to be fair FkLA is conditioned to hate when parker plays well since that cost him money last year ...

for some reason, after 11 consecutive seasons of shooting over 48%, this dude thought it was a good idea to bet he'd shoot lower than 45

Atleast Westbrook is an in his prime, Top 10 player.

But somehow it's supposed to be ok if Enrique does it bc he's French or bc he's supposedly a Spurs legend.

you are an idiot tbh...

You called out people to turn your thread into a Parker thread when you whole game grades are just about that... your whole agenda was there starting at the 3rd sentence of your essay. Now your comeback is meh I also grades other people try consistency and stop logic fallacies.

your game grade is trash because of that. Even the biggest haters did game threads free of agenda but you could not. if you consider parker was the biggest story of this game and somehow the culprit of this loss like your grades suggest it probably means as usual you did not watch the game and this has nothing to with bc he is legend or French...

again it's a pity and I hope you will refrain yourself next time

issue there is not about parker grade tbh... as you said grades are personnal and we are all biased. issue is turning a whole thread into Porker, Enrique, Fat etc... to fit an agenda trying to be funny and failing.

oh boy, you don't seem to be overwhelmed by reading comprehension and intelligence. DPG and myself are not arguing about grade, we all expected them to be low because of OP but that's an entire other issue. I honestly don't give a about OP C+, I just find pitiful turning game grade thread on an entire parker sucks agenda thread. That's the whole point. Try to focus
