NBA efficiency is not just about scoring, it's about every statistical aspect of the game.
BTW, TP was also 8th in PER rankings when Rondo is 37th and Calderon 41st.
Just to be clear in this thread, for everyone who hasn't been paying attention.
It is portnoy1's contention that we lost the series to the Mavericks because Tony Parker doesn't know enough about running point to pass the ball to Michael Finley in a post-up.
So, the reason we lost to the Mavs is Parker. Finley was our go-to guy for the series. If we would have just given him the ball more, we would have won.

...
lol Finley
How can u guys even discuss with these guys? TP hate is still strong.
After all the guy did especially last year, taking the whole team on his shoulders and all...
this thread is still alive ?? wtf??
People are idiots.
If that's an absolute steal for the Spurs, why would any celticfan want to do that trade?
Oh, that's right 1=2 in your world.
SO your trade idea presumes Boston fans are insane, idiots, or both?![]()
I'd do the trade, but that would not happen so there is no point in even discussing it.
The reason Boston is having problems with Rondo is because he thinks he is a max player and they don't.
S.A. would have the same problem in a year and would have to pay him max money or lose him for nothing.
You people are really ing idiots wanting to trade Parker. He is one of the Top 3 PGs in the league. It's really pathetic.
just making up?
thats not the reason
...nope Parker was obviously our best player in the series. But in games 1,4 and 5 we needed a guy that could give us another 15-20pts, or at least change dallas' defensive scheme. Finley was the guy with the most abilities outside of Parker and Duncan. Mason and Bonner are just shooters
Gooden was still new and kinda got injured. Finley is a player that has alot of different aspects to his game that got lost when he came to the spurs. Here he is just a spot up 3pt shooter. However his abilities are 3's obvioiusly + off the dribble shooter, iso post up and coming of screen shooter. With the loss of Ginobili the spurs needed one guy that the defense had to respect or adjust to besides Duncan and Parker. Finley had 6-2 J.terry and 5-9 JJ Barea guarding him and he stands at 6-7, I think he deserved some touches in the post, especially if that is a decent part of his game. With your one of your big guns down ( Ginobili ) you have to bring out the best of the players you have instead of trying to do everything yourself. Even Jordan had to learn that, Once he did then came the emergence of scottie pippen. Jordan Would score and his new found legit sidekick Pippen would take of everything else in the meantime. 1 - Jordan score 2 - Pippen run the point, rebound, defend and work off of michael.

And the only one with the ability to score 18 points and still be -20 for the game.
the +/- system dictates how your team does when your on the floor. Tim duncan can play all 24 minutes of the a first half and have 20pts, but if the other team is up by 15 then his +/- might be well under.
