How can anyone trash Leonard when he's the only one who showed up???

The same way they bashed Parker when he carried scrubs in 2009-2014.

Me and RobDiaz have been trying to tell y'all losers that this is a fool's gold team. Delusional Spur fans trying to defend this ..

[bklynspursfan]

Totally disagree. Manu only is looked at as clutch because he's had so many opportunities. Most of the time he throws up a brick or an airball. Even when he does hit a GW, a lot of the time he missed the one in regulation, etc. Dude has had so many opportunities it's insane.

Nah man. Idk if you're talking about Manu in recent years, but mid 2000's? Manu was the guy you wanted with the ball in his hands.

I can find plenty of stuff to back that up too. He was that guy in his prime.

Preach my brotha

[Splits]

I'm try-hard got. Kawhi was the only one who showed up today, yet we still got beat because he is just not that good. He tried hard

It wasn't good enough

[Pocho La Pantera]

I appreciate you defending Parker, (tho probably a bit overboard) because the hate on him is re ed on this thread. So there's somewhat of a balance

But that comment is just foolish dude. Manu is one of the clutchest guys we've seen, and Kawhi has shown the ability to hit big shots many times.

This tbh

[rasuo214]

David Lee and Kawhi were the only ones to show up. The rest of the team went 15/56 (26.8%).

[SASdynasty!]

The hate for him on ST is re ed. But today? I'm not sure you could hate on him enough today. When your starting PG puts up zero on three attempts, you're ed. That's not just a poor performance. That's a whole new level of suckage.

Yet it's the same people telling him not to shoot. You can't have it both ways.

[sasaint]

Melo more balls than LMA!!!!

Like I posted earlier in this game thread,"Anybody want to re-think their position on a LMA for Melo trade?"

[703 Spurz]

Jesus Kawhi cannot lead this team to anything past a first round.

Lame ass, overhyped "superstar". He's a 2nd fiddle at best.

Parker 0 points in 31 minutes. The other four starters combine for 24 points. Leonard had 36. You're a jackass.

[SAGirl]

Doesn't matter. PATFO will stand pat. They like their hand.

Guard play will kill them. Of course we knew this even b4 the season started. Let's look up every TD 21 thread since the offseason for example ... lol.and Dijon is in the doghouse after his good Cavs game and making a second place showing on the rookie power rankings bc

[skulls138]

Melo more balls than LMA!!!!

Oh cmon now, its just one game. As theyve been saying, the Knicks have been choking. It was just their day, time to move on.

[TimDunkem]

Splits is literally the worst poster on this forum next to Avante.

[SpurPadre]

No hyperbole, this is the most alarming loss of the season against a bad team in turmoil. No penetration, no help for Kawhi, forcing him to make some bad decisions at times because no one else will step up to properly support him and an overall passivity with the team in general. It isn't just about needing to play better, this team needs an upgrade.

I mean he had 2 points on 1-4 last game but he had 12 assists that game. I know for a fact LMA cost him several assists, but yea. We needed more out of him and damn near everyone else.

There was a point a month or so ago where he would sense if they needed him to score more and he would deliver. Would've liked that today

[GSH]

We shoot 36%, 21% and 81%. Way off our standards and lose by 4 on the road against a team that was desperate for a win..

Oh well, sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you.

But other than that, Mr. Lincoln, how did you like the play?


I like you, Wildbill. But there's not enough lipstick for this pig. And it doesn't say much that the Knicks were desperate for a win, and the Spurs obviously didn't give a .

[RD2191]

Get em!

[BillMc]

[Leetonidas]

I disagree. Hes playing within the game and doing alot of little stuff which IMO will lead to better stuff.

Im ok with this loss. We cant win all of them and this was NYs day.

His defense has been solid but the problem is spurs need him to be kawhis #2 and he has been very underwhelming on that end

[SAGirl]

Parker 0 points in 31 minutes. The other for starters combine for 24 points. Leonard had 36. You're a jackass.

Even Kyle scored and drew fouls in 6 minutes.... Tony absent completely absent.

[TimDunkem]

Oh cmon now, its just one game. As theyve been saying, the Knicks have been choking. It was just their day, time to move on.

He's been passive and inconsistent most games all season now.

[TheDoctor]

Knicks' fan on Tony Parker:

It was actually sad to see Tony Parker at there...
I know his game slipped last year, but damn he has hit the age wall in a big way.

[sasaint]

Prime Manu was going to get a bucket or free throws or a bucket and 1 every time. Everybody knows this.
