Danny green taking shots at tony ?

[LongtimeSpursFan]

I have no problem with Parker taking those shots. New Orleans was okay with giving those up. My problem is the fact that he played pathetic defense that made scrubs look like superstars.

Anthony Davis led all scorers with 31
points. Are you suggesting we take Duncan and Baynes out as well?

[manufan10]

Brazil beat me to it.

leonard got torched by evans last night
tp d was not the only spur that was bad
spurs needed splitter last night

why did leonard not have a steal?

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Leonard barely touched the ball, just Diaw/Duncan over and over again, watching Parker dribble, dribble. The Spurs' offense runs much better through Leonard, it's no contest. They share the ball much better igniting the team on both sides of the court, Leonard breaks down the defense and shares the ball with his team.

I'm not sure if Parker/Leonard can coexist with each other, Parker's style of play is just too selfish, it worked when we didn't have anybody else on the roster, but now we do.

Spurs with Parker at the helm hero balling=1st round exit
Spurs with Leonard at the helm=Championship.

The only world that TP and Kawhi can't exist is in the heads of Spurs fans that post in Spurstalk. Both players are valuable assets to a team that has made reached the WCF and NBA Finals last three years. Stop making up.

Parker is a scrub PG. The dude only ever really sets up Timmy.

[KL2]

Except for the fact that Kawhi had 14 shot attempts.

Over the span of 38 minutes. A couple of those shot attempts were desperation shots after Parker was dribbling, dribbling, dribbling late into the clock stalling our offense.

Leonard didn't touch the ball until around 6 mins into the 1st quarter, 6 mins into the 4th quarter, he simply isn't touching the ball.


This is what I like to call false ball movement, Parker is only really playing among 2 guys, Duncan/Diaw, everyone else gets zoned out. The ball looks like it's moving but it's not, they're not playing as a team at all. This is the type of bball that has lead to early playoff exits time and time again.

Did Evans have to play defense last night? Why not expose whoever is guarding Leonard and tire them out? Leonard was forced to play 38 mins of defense.

And Leonard got torched because his help defenders are terrible, Parker/Duncan/Bellinelli can't guard the pick and roll at all lol, these Parker fans blaming Leonard for Parker's mistakes smh.

Which early playoff exits are you referring to? In 2006, Spurs/Mavs should have been the WCF and only wasn't because of stupid seeding rules. The 2009-2010 teams had little defensive talent other than Duncan. In 2011 the Spurs got destroyed inside, hardly Parker's fault. In every other season of Parker's career the Spurs have at least made the WCF.

If Pop truly didn't want Parker playing this way, he would change the system or bench Parker. You think Pop isn't in charge? So the fact that the Spurs keep playing a certain way means that Pop wants it that way. Then it becomes your opinion vs Pop's, and sorry, you're not a HoF coach.

[SpurPadre]

If he is taking shots at TP, then he better expect this again:



Good thing Danny isn't married, though.

Leonard has been crowned the man, he showed on numerous games he can take the ball everytime he ing wants and creates his own shot but you blame Parker to not give the ball in the 1st quarter ? dumb Parker shot 4/5 in 1st quarter and you add 3 assists but yeah we lost because of Parker offense in the 1st ?

For the 4th quarter your comment is at best showing you don't watch games. He checked in the 4th with 8 mn to go, you gonna blame Parker for that too ? or are you whinning your boy did not have a FGA between 8 and 6 over 2/3 possessions ? then he took 3 shots and missed them all

[RD2191]

Op don't be ridiculous, we know Parker takes the shots on the this team.

No. Are you suggesting Anthony Davis is a scrub?

[dabom]

Of course danny taking shots at enrique. Anyone blind to this is a ing re .

[Seventyniner]

Just another player fan. Sadly this is becoming par for the course.

The entire team has been devastating on offense since that magic Feb. 26 date. 112.4 ORtg for the Spurs, 2nd place Golden State 109.8. Trying to act like the offense would be even better if Parker fed Kawhi the ball more often is naive.

[SpurPadre]

Op don't be ridiculous, we know Parker takes the shots on the this team.

Nah, the only shots TP takes are shots at players' wives, tbh.

[FkLA]

Except for the fact that Kawhi had 14 shot attempts.

4-5 of those were in the couple of minutes Enrique wasn't on the floor with him. Another couple just looked like forced shots on drives, trying to involve himself. Raw FGAs is an overly simplistic way to look at it. We're obviously talking about calling plays for him, feeding him in his sweet spots. That's been deteriorating over the past couple of games and so has the Spurs' dominance.

Tony shot 11-17 and had 6 assists.

Pop has always asked Tony to be aggressive. When Tony is playing outside of what Pop has asked, he gets scolded. There are certainly times when Tony kills the flow of the offense by being too aggressive but it's naive to think Tony is entirely free to dictate his role in the offense. I understand this is obvious to most Spurs fans, save for those being deliberately obtuse regarding Tony's role. I don't think Green's comments were a shot at anyone. I think he was just regurgitating what he had heard from Pop.

Kawhi's game has been a little more "hero ball" than Tony's, mostly because his game requires a clear-out. That being said, I have no problem with Kawhi's ISO's. It sometimes kills the ball movement, but it's part of the learning process. He will learn when and when not to take over - same as Manu, Tony and Tim. But he needs reps right now to improve. The learning process is give and take (from a wins/system perspective), and it comes with the territory with young players.

Is it a coincidence that the Spurs looked like a juggernaut for most of the winning streak except the two first halves 'MVParker' decided to show up (vs Hou, @ NO)? I don't care how efficient he was honestly. The best the team has looked all season, by far, has been when he has been a role player. He's still the team's best ballhandler so ideally he'd just focus on running the team but I realize that's too much to ask from a player like him consistently...so I'd settle for just quiet, single digit scoring performances like he's had for most of the winning streak. Anything but 'MVParker', since anytime he feels he has it going on it becomes a game of dribble dribble dribble or a two-man game with Timmy while the shooters/Kawhi suffer.

And I'm not saying Pop is free of blame. He was stupid enough to play Belli over Green in the biggest game of the regular season, so obviously he has his faults too.

'MVParker' has it going on and the shooters get 1 3PT FGA all game with him on the floor. Kawhi gets 1-2 FGAs per quarter with him on the floor.

but Rique put up good raw stats tho

No.

No. Are you suggesting Anthony Davis is a scrub?

[Mr Bones]

The Spurs finish the season with an 11-1 run, beating Golden State, Houston (2x), Memphis, and Dallas, and all some of you can do is continue arguing about who your favorite/least favorite players are. Isn't that the definition of a Player Fan??

[dabom]

Shut up got.

Shut up got.

Good comeback.
