You can use this thread to apologize to Tony Parker.

Only thing the team can do is hope their guys are enough. Would be nice for Manu to come back too. I disagree that Parker needs to be this guy every series. More consistent D and move even scoring for guys like Green, Manu, Lee and Pau would make a huge difference.

Absoultely - due to MEM hot shooting from game 3 on along with most role players putting up goose eggs, SA needed TP. Normally, you should not rely on TP so much to score. The bench needs to step up - it's the SA way.

Great game!! But he better be ready next series because Beverly is as tough as they get.

I'll eat my crow. Parker proved me way wrong and balled out this series. But unlike most of these gots on this board, I still cheer my ass off for him

[Cry Havoc]

The little helmet krew nowhere to be found tonight on SpursTalk.

I'll be honest -- I don't like TP, but, at the end of the day, I'm a fan of the team. He played fantastic.

Bad person played well

Bad poster

Analized well

Dabom is having a nice meltdown, but that little gambit is MIA. Probably crying into a comic book right now.

Hall of Fame veterans past their primes are still very often among the highest paid players on their teams.

And are often hated by their fans because of it; the Spurs were/are in desperate need of consistent offense from the guard position since Green/Manu/Mills aren't consistent, Murray is young, and Simmons just isn't the answer. Parker's contract has been a hindrance towards getting one while playing as bad as any of the other five guards. Glad he's producing in the playoffs and hope he continues; I said earlier in the year that all this team needed to get to another gear was MVParker, so if he keeps this up he'll more than earn that money.

Now if the rest of the team besides Kawhi could get it together that'd be great...

At least Beverly is easier to guard. I think Parker played good D (like 7 on a 0-10 scale) all things considered.

[Play Boban]

MVParker is our only chance tbh. Patty is not a point guard. I've said if all along tbh.

This ing fanbase has never appreciated the greatness of Tony Parker. Never.

Sorry, Tony

Do I need to apologize when I specifically called for a Tony Parker 2nd option team in a 5+ page thread?

I called him 2nd option in a 5+ page thread. You wanted him to be a bench guy. Don't act high now.

Great, unexpected series by HOTS. Dude deserves to bang every teammate's significant other tonight, no doubt about it.

Let's not get carried away though. You aren't always right. You've been dead wrong about Kawhi for example.

[DPG21920]

TP always has the most tough match ups. Conley, Westbrook, CP3, Curry, the list never ends for PG in the West/league.

Bev is an all world defender and it's going to be tough on TP. TP just bested Conley (in this game and did more than enough all series) which is crazy.

I mean, Conley was amazing this series, but he did his damage mostly against Mills and when Pop played slow footed bigs together.

The people who need to apologize know who they are.

How?

[Chris]

You know who you are.

And I'm always right. I said for the Spurs to have any kind of shot, they would need a 3rd player who is a CONSISTENT threat to score an efficient 20 points, and the only player still capable of that was Tony Parker. Guess what happens if Tony was injured in this series or parked on the bench (like some idiots wanted)?

And if Tony "Enriques" the next series, the Spurs are ed. Simple as that. House, Manu, Green can't do what he does. Tony is the 3rd option. That's all there is to it.

[FkLA]

How?

His "antiquated" style has helped him look better than anyone these playoffs outside of maybe LeBron, who has a pretty "antiquated" style himself.

Spurs would have been screwed this round without "Porker".

Where are all the haters now? They seem surprisingly absent in this thread considering they've littered their all over SpursTalk the last 6 months.

6 months? More like 6 years.
