When Porker is making shots, he doesn't pass the ball which works in the opponent's favor since Kawhi will be standing in the corner like Ariza. (It's basically what Kirby did when he was playing w/ Snack)
Parker didn't take one shot during that sequence before he was benched. The run was sparked when Fathead came in.
But keep trying to spin that 8-12 for 16 points is somehow a detriment where 6 points on 3-10 shooting and 0-5 from 3 isn't.

Blah, blah, blah.
8-12 on 16 points will never be a mathematical detriment to a team. Parker was the most efficient guard on the floor (for both teams) tonight. Furthermore, I guess I'll have to do a screenshot breakdown to blow a hole in this stupid myth as well.
The fact is you and the helmets dislike Parker because you perceive he takes away touches from your favorite player (another myth), while Patty is a good little deferrer to Kawhi like Derek Fisher to Kobe (another myth that isn't true. Patty loves to look for his own shot).
Elite poster right here.
Exaclty. These knucklheads cant seem to grasp the very basic concept of basketball.. .Get the ball out of the best player hands.When Porker is making shots, he doesn't pass the ball which works in the opponent's favor since Kawhi doesn't touch the ball.
In two straight games, it has worked to perfect. Avergaing 15fga.
Its perfect because teams dont have to worry about scrambling in defense. The only two guys that offer that gravity is Aldridge and Leonard now...Defenses wont react with parker even if he goes 10-10..because who cares.
Paddy is playing like . It's just funny that Porker fans are trying to deflect the blame onto him because he can't bail out the $15 mill/yr hero PG.
Porker is the taller midget, I agree.
OKC basically went to that strategy after Gm 2 so Softridge would just be standing watching Porker pound the ball which ed up his rhythm.
But...but...but...Porker had a good game.
They were single covering LMA early in the series. They just started swarming him late in the series.OKC basically went to that strategy after Gm 2 so Softridge would just be standing watching Porker pound the ball which ed up his rhythm.

Blah blah blah.
The very basic concept of offensive gravity is to open up mul ude of openings in a basketball team caused by defensive reactions. It doesn't matter if mathematically he's shooting 8-12, because in truth he's never going to have that much volume. Defenses don't scramble and react with Parker, it's just a matter of fact now.
The result is defensive rest for opposing teams, less worry about Guarding Leonard, Aldridge etc.
Mills might be a terrible playmaker, but he knows his role. No way Leonard would have had 30fga against the cavs ( make no mistake he needed to) with Parker in the game.
And Apa is funny.
"I love HORNS! Best set in basketball!"
Poop and Parker quit making Kiwi stand in corner!
HORNS, by design, will always have the SF stand in the in' corner. And it's a set the point guard HAS to initiate. And to do that, guess what, he needs to dribble the basketball more than a few in' times. You guys also act like whoever is running PG when House is on the floor isn't "dribbling" the basketball, either. Your mistaken perception is that because Patty immediately dumps the ball off to Manu, this means there's ball movement. No. Manu "dribble, dribble, dribbles" too.
The only time Parker kills us is when he isn't penetrating and probing, and it's usually due to a stubbed toe or some other minor injury that knocks him down to 50% effectiveness. And I'm in favor of benching his ass in those situations. A HEALTHY Parker isn't a detriment at all.
I can't stop laughing.And Apa is funny.

Basketball isn't prurely based on Math and % It's a much more complex sport than that. Westbrook is almost shooting 39% but its pretty darn obvious the thunder would be far worse without him.
Again, teams dont react when Role players start shooting 8-12...Frankly they dont care. Role playing PGs arent good enough to twist a defense.
As much as I'd love to agree that Mills isn't a problem, he slowly has become one. His offense has been lacking lately and tonight was a perfect example of how awful his defense can be.
I'm at the point personally where I'd like to see him just become a utility player who comes in when the team needs some shooting or energy, and let Murray take the bulk of his minutes.
In Gm 1, he actually killed 'em w/ the pick & pop b/c Ibaka was leaving him open to hedge on Porker. In Gm 2, they made adjustments but weren't rotating off Porker when LMA posted up. In Gm 3, they decided to not even hedge on Porker & just go under the screen while also rotating off Porker to double LMA/Kawhi in the post.They were single covering LMA early in the series. They just started swarming him late in the series.
When Kanter was in the game, they were even switching but Porker wasn't able to punish him so he stayed in the game

Leonard had about the same FGA rate against the Nuggets, a game in which he scored a regulation career high on much better efficiency. So...
And yes they do "scramble" when he's penetrating and probing. Do I need to post 100 videos from this season alone?
Again, this all goes back to, "Gib Kiwi bawl moar for better PPG."
And when he's penetrating and probing, he's passing the ball to Kawhi, too? Because at the end of the 3rd quarter Parker has taken 12 shots and Kawhi 10...
Did you know what happen in the 3rd quarter? Spurs lost that quarter by a ton of points.
I wonder when you will admit that Kawhi takes less shots with Parker on the floor....
The only 40 point-game in Kawhi's career? ...Parker didn't play.
You got some Basketball IQ.In Gm 1, he actually killed 'em w/ the pick & pop b/c Ibaka was leaving him open to hedge on Porker. In Gm 2, they made adjustments but weren't rotating off Porker when LMA posted up.

Unlike some of this ing trolls up in here.
Horns is my favourite basketball set of all time, but against defenses that specifically gameplan to deny the ball from Players A, B it's still pretty suceptible to a normal pick and roll reset which has been the case for about 90% of the spurs horns or pinch post sets for the spurs.And Apa is funny.

And the spurs barely run it. Teams with Dominant SF's rely on less and less since it marginalizes their best players.
Anyway, between Parker and Mills...I take Murray.
In fact, the Spurs needed to defend a last possession against D-League Curry...I'd put Murray on defense over Parker and Mills, without doubts.
You dumb s need to quit referencing that stupid Cavs game.
Parker played in the Suns game. And Kawhi scored 38 points in only 32 minutes. And he was on that 30/60% streak WITH Parker on the floor.
Kawhi was ridiculously passive this game and it had nothing to do with Parker.
Patty sucked... second game in a row. When his shot is off he doesn't add anything else and he's a liability on defense...
