He means I couldn't stop Langston Galloway so there's no way in I can stop Chris Paul.

Wow, the "Tony vs. Kawhi" ST battles have really replaced the old "Tony vs. Manu" arguments. Time keeps spinning on...

this is a thousand times more forced though. and perpetuated by like 1-2 guys

Enrique looks fat tbh

tony parker, on chris paul:
-how do you tire him out?
"attack"

...i'm not optimistic about his defense in this series

[will_spurs]

I want to see a transfer of le to believe him.

Finals MVP. Happened last year in case you didn't notice.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Meh, Frenchie McWonderbutt is not on the floor for his defense, tbh.

tony parker, on chris paul:
"you can't stop him, you just gotta make things difficult, he's gonna get his. just try to tire him out."

"attack"

He's right though. Playing defense is a lot more tiring than offense. By attacking a specific match-up, you force certain players to defend and it tires them out even faster if they aren't used to defend. Some people here don't seem to notice (and this is obviously not limited to this example) that Parker runs the loop on pretty much every play. Chasing Parker at full speed, keeping up with his cuts and fighting through screen after screen is going to make any player really tired by the end of the night. Which in turn is most probably why CP0 ends up choking in the clutch with poor decision making.

One of the tiest takes ever.

Let me get this straight. When tony runs right out the gym he tires his opponents? Must have a high defensive rating or something.

For what its worth CP3 (who is considered a good defender) has the same career defensive rating as Parker (both 104). Also not much separation this season with CP3 at 105 and Parker at 107, especially with him playing hobbled.

Not to ruin it too much but he probably leads his team in defensive rating. Have you seen that team defensively. No one really besides him. Parker is hiding with 4 great defenders for their positions.

Kawhi
Green
Tiago
Duncan

Some context for you. I'm pretty sure he would have a WAY better rating than Tony if they switched places.

[Silver&Black]

Did this just say that Chris Paul probably leads his team in defensive rating? No one really besides him? Okay......

Guess he has never heard of Deandre Jordan. You know the guy who can only dunk, can't make a FT, and is only on the floor because he's a defensive monster. The same guy who leads the league in Rebounds per game, Defensive win shares, is 4th in blocks per game, and is a DPOY candidate. Seems easy to miss that guy...

I don't have the defensive ratings in front of me.....but I'll stop posting forever if CP3 is ahead of DeAndre Jordan in defensive rating.

Also, is there one PG in the NBA who leads their team in defensive rating?

[ElNono]

Common sense dictates Tony should be hidden on Barnes/Hedo, and save his energy for the offense, tbh

The only problem is that it makes too much sense, and I can see Doc running Barnes through some screens to simply have Tony chase him around. He's a good 3 point shooter, so simply running from top to bottom through a couple of screens can be effective and open up a shot for him if Tony isn't right on his ass. The obvious solution to that is switching or zone, but that opens a brand new can of worms, mismatches on the floor, etc.

At that point, there's nowhere to hide. Red also gets almost all his shots from pin downs. So might aswell put him on Paul and hope he can fight through the screens.

Didn't you see that other thread....we're putting TP on Jordan.

Lol poor dabom! He is in full re ed mode again!

MVParker destroying the player fans and their Kawhi shtick

Wow 5 people in front of CP3 and one doesn't actually play.

People in front of CP3 - Lester Hudson DeAndre Jordan Ekpe Udoh Glen Davis Spencer Hawes

People in front of Tony Kawhi Leonard Tim Duncan Kyle Anderson Danny Green Austin Daye Jeff Ayres Tiago Splitter JaMychal Green Manu Ginobili Aron Baynes Cory Joseph Patrick Mills Boris Diaw Marco Belinelli Reggie Williams Matt Bonner



That's the whole ing san antonio roster and more.

[Silver&Black]

What I was trying to imply is that you are a ing for thinking that a PG leads a team in defensive rating. I'm not 100% on this....but I'd be willing to bet that there are exactly 0 PGs in the NBA that lead their team in that category.

[will_spurs]

"Trying to imply" flies way over his head. I guess he never checked Blake Griffin's DRtg either...

[Spur|n|Austin]

Lol poor dabom! He is in full re ed mode again!

He's Autistic, have some decency!

[wildchild]

but parker does not like Kawhi and has such a big ego

But you know this is the worst he can say, right?

After he talked about Danny's 3's in the 2013 Finals, Green never hit one in the next games.

After he talked about Kawhi's team this season, Kawhi rarely touched the ball in the first half in the next 3 games.

Everytime Tony says something about his teammates he kills their games. He doesn't do this on purpose but...talk only about Ayres and Beli, Tony. PLEASE!
