Hey!
I'm not sure if weak minded is the right word. He just tends to react badly to really physical play in my opinion.
Actually I was gonna say mental midget but went with the latter.
Honestly, there is no nice way to put it. Parker has some bad tendencies. He's good at what he does but when he gets Ddup and has no way out he turns to . His bad games are atrocious to watch. He'll make the worst decisions I've ever seen.
I come away with two positives from this exciting and exasperating game...
When breaks down the Spurs are heady and can scramble to make something out of it. That tenacity and fight and perseverance is vital for a championship team.
You can't always get lucky but you can play hard... (and smart cough)
The other.... is that... in a battle of attrition, the Spurs will win.
If both teams go cold I have faith the Spurs will be the first team to score.
It's so opposite of how we won in the past, but it's also similar.
Instead of us making that final stop though, it's like we have that one last offensive flurry to win.
Uhhh... remember when we had a 2-0 lead going into LA, I forget which year 2004?
Parker was amazing the first 2 games...
And then the Zen Master ordered the Lackers to pack the paint and the Jordan rules were employed on Parker.
4 straight losses.
love the tp hate in the last few posts, keep it up fellas
Manu and Timmy have their bad tendencies too..
Manu was throwing those lazy obvious passes... ones where he just sort of goes through the motion instead of really delivering the ball, and they were getting deflected and stolen. I cursed out loud several times.
He had back to back stupid turn overs in one sequence.
And then Timmy has those days where he doesn't shoot the ball he just sort of flicks up some nasty trash and then hops around looking for a call instead of getting back on D.
Yet the Spurs found a way to win despite themselves.
I never said that those tendencies didn't lead to horrific losses. It was semantics more than anything tbh.
It's the same strategy the Grizzlies used last year. Parker still can't beat it.
Spurs faced a huge mountain tonight and overcame.
Not getting calls all night. Terrible execution in the entire second half...bobbling passes, missing shots, getting stripped and blocked, turning the ball over. They literally had nothing going for them. On top of that, they lost their maestro when Parker went down.
When Boston made it over the hump and took the lead in the last three minutes, a lot of teams would've folded. Instead, the Spurs scrapped just enough to turn a game that very well should have been an L into a W. Reminded me of some of the hard-nosed battles we saw from the Spurs teams of old.
Blowouts are great, but they don't come often in the playoffs. Sometimes, I think it's better for the Spurs to have to deal with a little adversity and learn how to thrive on it.
Yeah a guy who's won finals game got scared.
Where do you clowns crawl out from?
I'm actually surprised that we won this considering it's the second game of a back-to-back. I prefer it to be a lot easier, but the Cs are the hottest team in the league and they're playing elite defense at the moment.
Oh hey, haven't seen you in ages.
Still a Parker nut hugger eh?
Yeah, I'm on board with that. Though the Spurs' defense couldn't have been much worse on the last two possessions. Allen was so wide open on his three there isn't really an adverb to describe it. Then having the ball in Paul Pierce's hands on a mismatch with a chance to win the game is just playing with fire.I come away with two positives from this exciting and exasperating game...
