It's not low standards he's talking about. Rose is just flat-out much better and is a mismatch for every PG in the league pretty much.
Parker had one ty game in a long time. It was bound to happen at some point.
Now Richard Jefferson on the other hand ....

tbh, you have to wonder how TP would have played if the ASG was next weekend...
Somewhat agreed but that doesn't mean TP played well. I don't care who he's playing, he's better than he was tonight & it's just one game, but he played bad and Rose played well. Bashing him for it is dumb, but stating the facts is not. Just seems like there are polar opposites with spur fan: hate TP or over protect TP.
Not whining. And I expected him to offset Rose somewhat, not to match him basket for basket. He didnt come close to offsetting him somewhat much less completely. Rose completely dominated the matchup. If Parker even somewhat offsets Rose, Spurs likely win this game.
Being outplayed by Rose is one thing, L.J., but it shouldn't have been to the degree that it was, especially with Rose coming off a 41-minute outing yesterday and Parker rested.
I don't buy the excuse about Chicago's defense. Parker missed a lot of shots he usually makes. His teardrops weren't going in. Forgive me, but I have more faith in Tony than to think any defense in the league can hold him to 5-of-16 when he's feeling good. Dude just missed shots and played poorly. That's it. He doesn't need qualifiers and excuses made for him. It's not like he took a bunch of off-balance 22-footers with a hand in his face. He missed the same type of shots he makes every game.
Obviously. Parker sucked tonight. Rose wasn't even as good as Rose usually is and he still destroyed Parker. Repeat, TP was pretty much garbage.
The only opinion in this thread I'm disagreeing with is the one that Parker should have been expected to offset Rose. That's cray.
Please don't talk like that
And Jefferson is a piece of , and is irrelevant out on the court. We already know and expect this. You cant place a loss on an irrelevant piece of .
He had 11 points, 9 assists, and 6 boards. I'm not ready to throw him under the bus just yet. He missed some shots. It happens. Rose got his numbers. It happens. Pretty unfair to make this loss about a head2head matchup between Tony and Rose.
Perhaps but not as bad as Bon Bon got abused by Taj Gibson tonight.
Matty was having darrell arthur flashbacks from the playoffs last year.
The fact that Pop force fed him minutes in the clutch is what made him relevant...
Fine. I think being within 10 pts of Rose should've been a reasonable expectation. Sorry, I don't think it can be overlooked that Rose did play 41 minutes yesterday. He should've been more fatigued than Parker.
There's no disagreement. Parker didn't get the job done. He had chances to and didn't
Again, my only bone of contention is the take that coming into the game Parker should have been expected to offset Rose. Rose against Spurs defense vs. Parker against Bulls defense shouldn't have to be equal for S.A. to win the game.
Tis all I'm saying, tbh.
God d*mmit every time I have a take, others have already fleshed it out two times over.
Basically, yes Parker needed to score more but he was going against tha effing MVP for goodness sake. Derick Rose is an amazing amazing player.
That being said the bulls suck A.H. offensively, joakim noah's jumpshot rotates horizontally, for crying out loud.
If spurs had to deal with this team In the playoffs, I would point to an obvious silver lining of us probably outscoring this feeble offensive team if we have a healthy splitter,.and especially a healthy manu.
The momentum of the game shifted the SECOND Parker went to the bench. The bulls continued to be an awesome defensive team, while the spurs were their regular jump shooting selves--WITH NO PLAYMAKER!
For yet another silver lining,.mavs lost tonight too, so it's a wash.
Spurfans memory seems to be pretty short. Didn't Parker just lead the Spurs to an 8-1 RRT record?
One game later he is on the cross again.
Would you disagree with the opinion that Parker shouldve come close to offsetting Roses production?
tbh Im starting to think your a closet CoP member .
tbh, you kind of expect players to relax after winning the All Star Skills Challenge
He had a sub par game...nothing more and nothing less. Seriously, sbc...your takes have really gone to since you left the Wire.
This game was lost in the trenches.
Parker is fine.
He should have been closer than he was tonight.
CoP calls me CoM, CoM calls me CoP. I'm either both or neither, tbh.
I go out of my way to pick holes in timvp'sposts sometimes....but either timvp has changed or most of you have lost touch with reality, cuz you guys are smoking crack if you been watching this team and expected Parker to go toe to toe with Rose.
It wasn't Tony's best game, but not coming up with loose balls, giving up way to many offensive rebounds, and the bulls shooters getting hot in the 4th were more pivotal in the Spurs losing.
It was just an off game, alright but tonight definitely proved once and for all one fact some Spurs fans have forgotten this year: Manu IS flat out our team's best player, our best big game player and has been our best player for the past 5 years going forward. Yes, the team has played well without Manu for most of the season but it's a small sample size and it doesn't mean jack in the playoffs. If we are to win the le this year, it will be with a healthy Manu winning the NBA Finals MVP, just as he rightfully deserved to have in the '05 Finals.
