1. Jefferson
2. Bonner
3. Ginobili
4. Green

It's the same 5-7 posters that have been criticizing Parker, this season..most here acknowledge that he's having a good season..even myself, Apo and Fkla have been praising him, all year..
The number of posters that constantly bash him isn't any higher than the Manu haters, Green haters, etc..
Last year, sure, but I don't see it nowadays..
Yep, was going to edit my post to include him
F Bonner... The only Spur I continue to truly despise. I laugh when I hear fan favorite. Fans mention his worth from his famous OKC game so to speak to back him... I never remember him hitting a big shot late in a big game. His only shining light game where he hits some of course we lose it, 2011 Memphis game 1. Even the one time he is on we lose...
The problem i have with Danny Green is that he has displayed more and more his mental weakness.
Other years he could go 0-7 all game but nail 2 of 3 at the end.
Now a days if he misses his first 3 shots he never recovers, maybe the next game, but for that game you already know the guy is going 0-x, i think that is unforgettable for a NBA player getting 10 millionss year.
Just the same way i cannot forget Parker for showing up fat to the Spurs training camp, and not competing for 3 years now when you got that fat contract, yet you go every summer to play for france, if we compare Manu´s and Tim´s 32-33 years old season then Parker is just not on their level, i think i just have to understand that wheather Parker is not at that level is not only a debate, but a reality.
Boban doesn't get enough minutes to be criticized. He's the entertainment. When folks here got stupid and tried to make him into a threat in real minutes because of his numbers, that's when I said he's basically Frankenspur and isn't a legitimate basketball player in the NBA, not one who can use his size to his advantage as much as he should.
Manu isn't even top 5...True, I've erased him from my memory
1. Jefferson

Who's doing the protecting?
And as we all know, last year doesn't matter So I understand why it's surprising to you. Most of the "protection" Green gets from criticism comes from the fact that he's been getting it for YEARS now. The same exact criticism. For most of us we're well past the "we know" point. We know he can't dribble. We know he's not a play-maker. We know he's streaky on both sides of the court. We also know why he's been a Spurs' starter for a half-decade.
Every year, we have deal a seasonal flooding of people who are "realists" calling out Green's short-comings and arguing that he should be benched or traded. If you go into the trade archives, you'll see sooo many names of players randos wanted to move Green for. Evan Turner, Lance Stephenson, Josh Howard. Someone even wanted the Spurs to trade Green and bring over Adam Hanga. It's just boring at this point
Benching/trading Green for Simmons was this season's lowest. It's like people are basketball fans but don't actually watch basketball.
You seem to be easily confused these days. I hope you snap out of it.
Its Big Shot Rob, not Bob you stupid jackass.
You have got to be kidding...
Yes because we all know that benching Bonner is the only reason why the Spurs are contenders again
Rasho used to drive me nuts...good defender, but I've never seen a 7-footer who was more afraid to take a shot, and when he did it was weaker the Splitter's ty baby hook.
It's because those two are fluky players who take and make bad shots even when the D is good.
I hate Bonner. Just saying.
Pretty much the only Spur I criticize constantly. All the other guys have a bad night, and I'm still the first one to say they'll snap out of it. Guess I'm just a glass is half full kinda guy. Not with Bonner though...why that red-headed is still taking away a roster spot from the younger talent is head scratching. All I hear about him is he's a great locker room/practice guy. He better be the gotdamn GOAT at practice.....
meh, nobody said it was the ONLY reason. But upgrading from him to Splitter completely changed the makeup of our team, especially since it allowed Tim not to have to do everything on defense.Yes because we all know that benching Bonner is the only reason why the Spurs are contenders again
I don't know about all time on here, but DRob gets based plenty on here. . .Duncan's gotten plenty of ire too. I remember when I joined this hole, bunch of threads saying to trade/dump Duncan and blow the team up/rebuild. Calling Pop "Popa " all the time.
I almost never see any blame on Kawhi now (on the contrary, he gets excused the most, even the eyeroll-worthy Kobefan excuse, "He'd have more assists if people made all the shots after he passed them the ball") or on Mills. They would be 1 and 2 for "this year" imo, Kawhi by far being #1. He is our best player now obviously, but the "blame everyone else" is kinda annoying.
It makes complete sense to hate on Bonner for having obvious limitations that everyone but Pop could see, tbh.
Fair enough. The more experienced upstairs posters have convinced me re: Danny.
But how about "MVPatty?" Patty House seems as teflon as they come.
Somewhat.
Passes are given for teammates who whoop it up on the bench and appear to get along with the entire team.
And Green has taken a ton of because of obvious ball handling difficulties. You spend too much time in the sandbox with Thread.
