Right, but you can't say someone sucks in the playoffs when there's only 30 guys in the history of the NBA that have one of these.

I think we can safely say he will probably suck (or politely, "ineffective") in the upcoming playoffs. I hope not. I just want him to be healthy and stay under control. But even with a healthy Parker, the Spurs might have the worst backcourt in the Western Conference playoffs.

It's more about free throw differential (or if no differential, then free throw percentage). If you want to find the unifying factor in the Spurs losses, start there.

Gasol played 18 minutes and what Blazer could match him defensively? Pop is really underplaying him. I am fine with him coming off the bench but he has to get more minutes. Pau is also good from the FT line and would have been an asset there as well. There is no reason to play him so little esp with LMA rusty as a nail.

They always mean in the present. He's just not the same anymore. No shame, everybody ages.

Agreed. He's still the beast and readiest PG the Spurs have.

we need him last night...he is better suited with the slower unit with Aldridge out there...but mills is much better suited with the faster unit with ball movement...same goes with green

Parker being there wouldn't have made Aldridge and Green hit open jump shots

Parker has a way of spoon feeding LMA the ball where he likes it.

[Spurtacular]

Yea, the Spurs maybe could've used an extra role player with the big guns turning in sub par performances.

[Canyonero]

Thank god he came back and the Ws returned.

Wrong thread...this one is for home losses against lottery teams, not road losses against playoff teams.

so you're saying you can count on parker when we're home against lottery teams... but not on the road, against playoff teams.

Porker on the road against a playoff team...

I'm saying without Parker we can't even win at home against lottery teams, tbh
