Parker and Kawhi is the 2nd best pairing on the team this season.

With a +/- 2 points higher than House/Leonard.

How will the helmet crew spin this one? Maybe they'll reference the Clippers series again

I'm also not surprised at the Parker/Danny pairing being so good this season. Parker has been creating a lot of nice looks for Danny through penetration/probing, which is reflected in Danny's resurgent 3 point shooting percentage this season. This is something else the Microwave can't do, which is why the Mills/Green pairing ranks so low.

Like this:

"Of the 51.1 PPG the pair is scoring, Kawhi should be scoring 60 and Parker should be scoring 1.1."

In b4 Porker freezes Kawhi.
In b4 Matt Barnes / Andre Roberson.

dabom will reply with a one liner like that:

no, kawhi/mvpatty is better than kawhi/fatenriqueporker

[Chinook]

Just think about how much better it would be if Parker would actually pass the ball to him.

Also, Danny's in four of the top six pairs, seems like he's having a bigger effect than everyone else. I also find it funny that Pau and Parker is the other duo, since that was supposed to be the weakpoint of the SL.

HOTS making system players better per par

[RD2191]

OP is a got.

[dabom]

Parker has some of the most negative lineups on the team. Why do you think real plus/minus has him ranked as a negative player.

Patty Mills is just the way better player this year. That's not an opinion.

[GSH]

That's not an opinion.

Don't sell yourself short. It's not much of an opinion, but it still counts.

Mills has been great against second units, no doubt.

I am. Parker is a better PG than Mills. If Mills isn't hot, he's a serious detriment to the team. Tony can manage a game without scoring and can still collapse defenses. Patty can only do that on hard closeouts.

[dabom]

Tony cannot even beat defenses anymore stupid s.

Kawhi/Parker > Kawhi/Mills

sorry bro this is what it is even if it hurts your feelings

[$pursDynasty]

Wow and Tony is every other starter's best pairing except L-Train whose best pairing is Verde, while three of House's four best pairings are with Manu, JSimms and D.Lee (Kiwi being the other). I am starting to think this Parker bashing is more about insecure Kingslayer fans not thinking that he will get enough shine/credit if Tony is on the floor too. I like the KingSlayer and I have no doubt if you ask any of the starters who they prefer at point they will say Parker because when he is on, he serves them points on a silver platter. The Spurs are a league leader in assists but often it feels like they get shorted on them in the box scores. I will concede that when Patty is in the game more closely resembles the beautiful game era, the ball moves a lot but that is NOT who the Spurs are any more because that is not how the Spurs best two players and play the game. Penetrating Parker is better for them and Verde and Pau than beautiful game, now the other style might in fact and in fact probably is better for the bench mob because we don't have any players that can easily go iso by themselves in that group.

Paddy Microwave House is great against the Spencer Dinwiddies and CJ Watsons of the NBA

Odd criteria to use to differentiate Tony and Patty, considering that Patty could never beat defenses. I love Patty but he's a very limited offensive player.

Every good NBA coach in the league recognizes how valuable spacing is.

Meanwhile the helmet krew has never played a game of basketball in their lives beyond pick-up, so of course their usual retort is to ISO for Kawhi on 99.8% of possessions. Makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
