That's excuses man, excuses. I thought he told him to play his normal game. If not, he should've that's on both of them. Yes that's selfish!
Pop told Tony to play like that in the Dallas series. Selfish?

That's reality. Pop told Parker to score in that series.
that's horrible, you traded away our leading scorer for speedy and a "decent big"? Tony's worth alot more then that, he's only 24 and already one of the best players in the league and you wanna give him away for speedy?
For us to trade Parker, it would have to be a someone we'd never think we'd be able to get like Kobe, JOneal, Marion, Jamison, etc. if not you keep him but you don't trade for a 'decent big'? WTF? Parker for joel Przybilla
Then why wasn't he on the floor in the last seconds of games 4, and 7 to take the last shot if Pop had so much confidence in him and his shot?
Situational spots. Pop wanted better shooters on the floor. Why would Pop wait until those moments to yank him if he was so badly deviating from the game plan?
I wouldn't trade the dude, but he really needs to start playing in the playoffs like he did in the regular season and get everyone involved for the Spurs to go all the way.
There you go! in your own words
Tell that to his coach then.
What? I never claimed that TP was one of the best 3 point shooters on the team.
If I had connections to POP I would. I hope he's reading on this board!
They didn't need a three to win.
what point guard is aviable that the other team would trade for tp?
kidd-too old
ai- too injury prone and too old
kg= makes to much money
odom- not a point guard and he is a laker
k-martin- at ude problem
r jefferson- kidd is there no
j oneal- makes 18 million a year would not work
knick players= all make to much money
Who were the Spurs going to in that situation? TD. Mavs collapse on the paint and you need shooters for him to kick it out to.
Why'd Manu take that 3 in the final minute of regulation in Game 7?
Pop didn't pull TP at the last minute because he was deviating from the game plan. TP was doing exactly what Pop expected of him. Referring to TP as "selfish" because of that is quite misguided.
Pop wanted TP to score because the Mavs were giving the Spurs that all day long.
Finley would have been a good choice. My opinion misguided? I don't think so! If one takes bad shots when others are open I call that misguided. Face it, call it what it was, he was being a ball hog. That's not Spurs basketball. swing it to the open man no matter who it is, for that person to take the shot. That's why the Spurs are on the outside looking in! PERIOD!
rebounding is why they are fishing
That goes with playing small ball!
Ugh. He was a "ball hog" because Pop told him to be. Now how exactly is he a "selfish" player for doing what his coach asked of him?
Tony Parker was a significant reason why the Spurs pushed that series to 7 games.
Sparky, cmon dude, you have to admit Parker was shooting way too much, even if POP told him to do so, while others were wide open. Dallas was giving him shots because he was missing them. When they go in good, but when he misses four in a row without looking in another direction is another story. Am I the only one that that feels this way. Clue, that's not Spurs basketball, never has been. Is it poor shooting, or poor coaching to deivate from what one normally does? Bad shots lead to fast breaks going the other way!
No Tim Duncan was!
Clue: A player is not "selfish" or a "ball hog" when he does what his coach asks of him.
Tony Parker scoring is not a part of Spurs Basketball?
I can't believe that anyone would call out Parker for the way he played in these playoffs. He was great for the Spurs all the way through and would have been better if he hadn't been so beat up. He's found a consistent jumpshot that will only improve. Among true point guards, he's among the best scorers and maybe the most difficult guy to defend. Those things will only improve as his jump shot finds that consistency. He's 24 years old and he's played a crucial role in two championships with some monsterous playoff performances to his credit.
I'm also baffled by the thought that anyone would be satisfied with Speedy Claxton as a starting point guard in this city. The memories of one 4th Quarter somehow overcome any real rational thought -- it's funny how when Spurs fans swoon about Speedy, nobody ever mentions that it was Speedy's total ineffectiveness in Game 6 of the 2003 WCF that resulted in Steve Kerr seeing the floor at all in that game. I don't intend to throw Speedy Claxton under the bus; it would be great if there was some way for the Spurs to reacquire him. But the willingness of some to who want to cast Tony Parker aside in favor of Speedy Claxton is mind-boggling to me.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO GET IN RETURN FOR HIM?
spurs offseason is almost complete fire pop
trade tp
O.K. I guess we see things differently!
Parker position (PG) calls for him to create shots for his teammates, he's not a (SG)
When there's an open shot sure he's gonna score. I have no problems with him scoring points. but he should also be leading in assists every night out!
