One of the reasons why TP doesn't average more assist per game.A lot of people said that it's because our style of play but that's not true at all.
When Manu is the PG he gets assist easily.
I have no sympathy for Parker because he's the one that ed and moaned the loudest last year, claiming the roster needed upgrades. He basically carried the load last year and reminded everyone that he needed help. Now that he's gotten help, he's continued playing his selfish brand of ball-hogging offense, causing the rest of the team to suffer.
He can't have it both ways. He cannot complain about being tired and dead legged, yet continue to force his own offense, while failing to integrate the new weapons around him that could help relieve some of his offensive burden.

move manu to the starting pg and start parker at the 2. on defense tp can still guard the other pg.
Actually, Hill has been guarding the opposing PG (DWill, CP3)... I believe this is because Pop don't want to tax Tony on the defensive end...
Parker can't pass with his left hand, and he's just not a crafty passer in general. i think he sees him, but he doesn't have much in his arsenal in the way of passing ans so can't get him the ball.
This is just what the French do. Help you out at the beginning then and moan at you for the next 250 yrs.
To answer the OPs concern, Parker's still mad cause Eva told Blair she wanted to find out why they call him the "Beast".
Great post. You pretty much mirrored my thoughts on the situation.
Parker's shtick is getting old. With every passing second he shows more and more that things are all about him and he will sacrifice whatever to keep it that way. The timeline looks like this:
He has career stats last year carrying the team.
He gripes about needing help.
He plays for his national team even though he saw what happened to Manu.
He gets help through free agency and the draft.
He looks slow and tired because he didn't get enough rest in the offseason.
He whines about being tired and beat up even though it was self inflicted.
41 games into the season, he is still not using the help that he asked for.
It's like he is going in the opposite direction from a maturity standpoint. Instead of finding a way to integrate his teammates(you know, that help he was wanting) he plays the same old selfish Tonyball. He had better get over himself quick or this team is going nowhere.
Where's ducks? I'm surprised he hasn't come to TP's rescue yet.
I've noticed this time and again. Blair would be wide open, but TP would never deliver the ball. I'm chalking it up to TP not having the skills to pass the ball. These are same passes Manu makes every day to Blair.
Cop out. He makes tough passes to Duncan all the time. He also makes some pretty tough passes when passing out to jump shooters. Parker is doing what Parker wants to do...that is pretty much the long and short of it.
what do u known about french and even american history, do you only remember when the twin towers were destroyed by a man with a cutter?
ps: please dont talk about our country, you insult us!

Try to stay on the subject, people! (I wouldn't bring up any 9-11 references either, just bad taste.)
you right..if only others american people could do like you..
maybe TP doesnt want blair shine in order to have ian on the court and let him shine more than blair... no impossible i hope...i love the way blay play...
Eh, he just either has a lack of court vision, or he has trust issues. Any decent PG on this squad would be averaging double figure assists.
He's more of a shooting guard playing at the point...
I guess ST can count on you to "raise the bar"...
Why all the Parker hate?
If not for his plantar fasciitis he would be taking us to another level.
First, he is one of our best scorers and last year was virtually unstoppable going to the rim. When you can get points in the paint like him, you should be shooting and shooting often. Even if you are a point guard. Unfortunately, he doesn't have his burst of speed because of injuries. But we tend to win when he gets his points.
Second, he has never been a pass first point guard. Our offense is designed around him getting to the rim and putting pressure on the interior defense. He draws and kicks very well and is averaging a respectable amount of assists.
Third, Blair, although a nice rookie, is hardly a classic finisher in the lane. For every nice finish, he blows three or four dunks or easy shots. He also tends to get his shot blocked against bigger, longer defenders. That's not to say that he isn't effective in the paint. But if I have a choice between Parker and Blair shooting, I take Parker every time.
We need Parker's scoring. If he were 100% like last year, our team would be on par with the Cavs and the Lakers. He isn't the same player this year, unfortunately.
So if Parker isnt the same player as last year dont you think he should PASS it!
If blair was playing for the suns he'd probably be averaging 15 and 10 maybe even 18 and 10. parker is on a young decline too many national team blunders. for being an elite scorer he's doesn't have an ''elite'' PPG stat. His assists suck too, undersized shooting guard.....
TP just isn't a great passer. His assist come mainly off reactions to what he does or attempts to do offensively or PNRs with Duncan. Not so much from other players cutting to the basket. If his drives to the basket aren't successful, his whole game suffers. If he was a better, more confident passer, he'd have a handful of alley oops (or at least attempted alley oops) to Jefferson by now.
I completely agree... Some say it's ALL because of his injuries, and I hope it is... but even if it is just because of that, I don't see how that's a good excuse at all. Tony needs to get his together... I've been one of his biggest supporters from day 1, but this doesn't even seem like the same guy I've always been a huge fan of.
Really? lmao... Blair blows 3 or 4 for every 1?... wtf are you watching, and where did you take your math classes at?
Guy is shooting well over 50%, so how does that add up?
damm when duncan got this injury he did not get ripped
this year tp has new teamates and is trying to gain trust in each other
it takes time
when blair misses dunks it is hard to trust him
oh it took duncan 2 years to trust tp
where were those post then about duncan
tp needs to get mental right but pop has to help him
he seems to be ok with him
Manu posted in an interview he and pop are not getting along
nothing along that line from tp about pop
rj got blasted in the paper by pop for not telling the spurs fo about his back
maybe tp hide it
he knew spurs wished he did not play for france but did anyhow
but he was healthy
manu was hurt when he still played for his country
if spurs score near 100 the o is not the problem it would be turnovers,missed free throws, or d

i'm sure his reduced level of play is entirely due to his injury. given that, popovich needs to reduce his minutes. this is all on popovich.
