[polandprzem]

With Gino playmaking and Hill taking PG responsibilieties with Mase breaking some point in the past and with spurs offense where you do not need a real point guard I thinik we can take the risk and sit parker here and there

One thing that Elliott mentioned last night during the broadcast: He said Tony had commented that his plantar fasciitis has "gotten better over the last month".

Sean had the same reaction I did, as in "how long have you been dealing with this?" If this is an injury that has plagued Tony all season, then it's easy to explain his dip in production.

However, Tony has definitely been regaining his step in the past month or so, and hopefully that's a good sign of things to come. As others have said, plantar fasciitis can vary from person to person, and maybe he'll actually be able to handle it without missing significant time.

As he showed last night, he's still capable of putting up big games. Now he just needs to bring that more consistently.
