Good! Thanks..... heard some pretty lame 'vendetta' talk before the game attributed to Blair. Maybe it was overblown.
LMAO @ unashamed sucking up to EL NONO the moderator, hoping one day that I will be black and wondering if that means I'll automatically feel more well-endowed.

I'm not a mod, tbh... that's and old and false rumor...
One of the rare times Parker and Ginobili both played well simultaneously. Going to need more of that.
n 2 deep
Pretty much need him to stay like this to beat OKC and even have a chance against the Heat.
Parker had a great game 7, but until today's game, he probably deserved a D grade for the series, tbh..
Spurs don't need Tony to be as dominant as he was in today's game, but they need him to at least score efficiently and constant penetration to open up for everybody else..
Depends on expectation ... hater were saying bench him we don't even need him and suddenly Parker has to play great because surprise, ball movement and 3 ball doesn't work anymore in the playoff.Parker had a great game 7, but until today's game, he probably deserved a D grade for the series, tbh..
Game 1, best player with Duncan
Game 2, good first half, didn't try to shoot in the 3rd quarter and it was a blowout already when he came back in the fourth
Game 3, incredible first half, did nothing in second half but without his first it could have been a blowout too
Game 4, bad game but was clutch at the end
Game 5, good but not great, clutch at the end
Game 6 same as game 5
Game 7, the only great game maybe, what was the difference ? getting calls and probably not having Belinelli destroy the lead Parker had build in first quarter every time.
+1 I agree with you. An without TP and his incredible first half, game 7 was another story ...

In the post-game comments, virtually every star and both coaches referred to Tony's dominance in this game and that he was "fantastic", or words like that, and that was from the Mavs.
So obviously the opponents respect the man more than some of the alleged Spurs fans do. Remarkable to me.
He will NOT be able to play at this level in every game, thought, and any rational observer knows that. If he did, he would be the greatest point guard of all time, and he is never going to be that.
Manu's energy and focus was, to me, the biggest difference in how well everyone played in this game. Dirk noted that Tony had huge first quarters against them in virtually every home game. The thing that was different this time, imo, was that we didn't throw away the lead that we got from that strong first quarter. Manu noted that one difference for him in last night's game was that he didn't 'fall in love with' the three pointer, and that he didn't have so many turnovers. That kind of focus and discipline makes it very hard for the other team to tee off on one player like they do sometimes with Parker.

Parker made a lot of great individual plays.
When Tony is on like that, we're hard to beat.
If his previous games weren't great, the last was.
Pop strategy "When nothing works...Tony Hero to the rescue!" worked.
Tony said after the game "They tried switches and different stuff to get us out of our game, and they worked. The first three or four games, we had a hard time playing Spurs basketball, and finally Pop just decided to let me go, let me be aggressive, and just see what happened; it worked out pretty well."
I like this from Grantland.
"This league is still about players making shots, and Parker remains one of the most creative and unique scoring threats around. At first glance, his ability to get layups seems ridiculous; after all, he’s only 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds. But Parker remains the craftiest attacker in the league. The combination of his speed, his craftiness, and his on-ball decision-making is a match made in restricted-area heaven. And that spin move. Magnifique."

If a team deliberately dare one of the big 3 to beat them, you let guys do their stuff and live with the results tbh
at one point if Manu, Tim or TP can break a defense efficiently it will be just a matter of time this will open game for the others
I don't think during these POs run opponents will just watch how nice the Spurs ball movement is
Ridiculous during that stretch where he was knocking those midrange jumpers one after another...
Man on a mission tonight tbqh.
