Let's take it easy on Parker

I wouldn't even be concerned if Pop just benched him when he's playing like ass.

Unfortunately, as we saw last year, Pop won't do that because he doesn't have the guts to bench his 'star'.

Damn, I was hoping Enrique fans would be right when they said he would have a bounce back season.

He was randomly falling on the ground, getting blocked, not able to beat his man & missed floaters/mid range shots/FTs. His issue is basically he can't get into the paint b/c he has lost a couple of steps thus he has to take difficult shots & can't get into any type of groove. He doesn't seem to be limping & I'm assuming he hasn't lost his touch around the rim thus Pop should just take the ball out of his hand & make him a cutter ala Tony Allen.

Thanks for the info. Well, fortunately there's plenty of time for him to readjust his game and still be effective for us.

The last two NBA seasons and this Euro tournament, I think it's time to start contemplating the idea that Tony's decline is permanent and start planning accordingly. The thing with Tony is that he doesn't seem to have the kind of game to be an off ball player. He needs to start practicing more and more of the corner 3, imho.

There's really no point in bashing players that are on the team you pull for.

Can we talk about how passive Diaw looked? I know in FIBA the paint is more packed, but he didn't do against the garbage spanish 4s

He did get enough touches w/ Tony hero balling & Batum/De Colo being higher up in the food chain. It also did help that Gobert camps inside the restricted area thus Bobo couldn't work his magic in the paint.
