Spurs would have swept OKC without Parker tbh....

parker doesn't create. would love to see andre miler the next game.

^ our starting pg should be a distributor. lma and kawhi have to iso so much because tony doesn't help us get easy baskets.

no, he just holds the ball for 8 seconds at the top of the key and then decides to put up a shot with the shotclock winding down.

spurs got closest in the 4th without parker, with andre miller.

parker had 3 assists. that is not okay for a starting PG. one solution in the original post said that he should be a scorer off the bench. his focus should be to score. NOT to try to be chris paul/a game manager.

guess who had 3 assists tonight. to go along with 2 turnovers.

miller had one more assist than parker in 13 less minutes had been saying i'd start him over parker. miller also had 0 turnovers.

[HI-FI]

I wouldn't mind keeping Miller for next year.
Parker should've been gone awhile ago but he ain't going anywhere, not with Pops stranglehold on the team.

The Spurs need to add athleticism and youth. Miller did a great job and I don't think it was a coincidence that the team made a run with TP on the bench.

Conley is that kind of PG, tbh...

This thread is still a fail.

You can argue you have better player's out there, but they are not spurs players. I'm fine with PArker over miller. we didn't lose because westbrook hit another level. WE lost bc we couldn't hit shots and couldn't get boards.

[gambit1990]

was telling you guys...

tony parker dribbles the shot clock down... only to make a pass anyone else in the nba could probably make.

and i'd take miller over parker in the playoffs.

tbh, bottom line is parker is gonna have to step it up big time for us to have a chance. his style of play just isn't doing the trick.

if you actually watch games... the spurs go on runs when parker leaves the court. the lead doesn't get bigger after he's been put back in.

defenses know what to expect from tp... and even worse, he slows our tempo by dribbling long enough for the defense to settle.

This thread is still a fail.

This team goes as far as mvp Parker takes us.

^that shows how valuable your basketball take is

[gambit1990]

really hope parker doesn't get a contract extension... unless it's a sign & trade.

i'd say maybe bud would take him but i wouldn't be surprised if he got fired soon/this summer.

[dabom]

Even getting Tiago, they know Bud is the only untouchable there.

[gambit1990]

where all you parker defenders who were so quick to talk mad even though this is the only thread i've made about him? if you're one of those people and you're reading this: you.

whoever's in charge of bolding, i change my mind.

instead of me getting bolded... can you instead change the names of: cry havoc, jhfenton, picnroll, uneagles 2016, brazil, steeledl, nathan89, thegreatyacht... to: "soft, stinky pussy that hangs like sleeve of wizard"?

Last, most important game of the season.

Parker 6 points 3 assists. Pretty much says it all.

and 2 turnovers. got outplayed by a 40 year old who played 13 less minutes.

[gambit1990]

hopefully we trade him this summer so i won't have to keep bumping this next season

Based on the dropoff in BPM from regular season to post-season:

Might as well have all the data in one place.



Just look at the dropoff in every advanced metric from season(RS) to post-season(PS).

19.0 PER RS
16.9 PER PS

.147 WS/48 RS
.085 WS/48 PS

109 ORtg RS
103 ORtg PS

.550 TS% RS
.515 TS% PS

32.7% Assist Percentage RS
27.7% Assist Percentage PS

1.2 BPM RS
0.2 BPM PS

This season's choke:

16.2 PER RS
15.1 PER PS

.142 WS/48 RS
.099 WS/48 PS

108 ORtg RS
103 ORtg PS

.546 TS% RS
.499 TS% PS

29.1% Assist Percentage RS
32.8% Assist Percentage PS (wow, he actually improved at something in the playoffs for once!)

0.1 BPM RS
-0.5 BPM PS

Porker fans have never once come up with a response to these statistical truth bombs. Tony Tissot is one of the biggest choke artists ever. It's insane how much hate Manu gets for his turnovers, Kawhi for missing one free throw, etc. when they've had to put up with this got choking the entire postseason every year.

[Clipper Nation]

Kareem, Jordan, Shaq, and Lebron never had a cancer like Tony Parker holding them back from repeating. Parker has always choked in every repeat year.

2004 vs LA:

.594 TS% - Manu
.534 TS% - Duncan
.421 TS% - Enrique

And Pop's plan was to give Tony the most shot attempts:

19 FGA/g - Enrique
15 FGA/g - Duncan
10 FGA/g - Manu

2006 vs Dallas:

.640 TS% - Manu
.615 TS% - Duncan
.478 TS% - Enrique

Duncan and Manu were beasting against the Mavs. Tony was chucking and wilting, holding them back.

2013 vs Heat:

.583 TS% - Kawhi
.554 TS% - Duncan
.472 TS% - Enrique

14.6 FGA/g - Enrique
14.6 FGA/g - Duncan
11.4 FGA/g - Kawhi

Outplayed by Mario Chalmers in games 6 and 7. lol MVP candidate. When Tony is your #1 option, you're ed.

"But, but, Kawhi isn't a first option, guys!"

[gambit1990]

dat gambit poster is quite awful tbh...

the parker fans in this thread enjoy what you still can cause the more time goes by, the harder it'll be for you.

Why doesn't this gambit kid even like the spurs?

This thread asked "is the team better without Parker" The answer has been no.

You say, but Parker sucks.....different issue. Reading comprehension, son.
