Tony`s jump shot can be frustrating, no doubt. However, on ESPN 2K5 I can make him pop the three on a consistent basis.
and that's why it's important for tp to run, run, run and beat the D down the floor vs the superior defensive teams.....just needs to pace himself and save a little for the 4th...
i agree with what your saying jimbo about attacking the paint, and tony and manu are two of the best, but how many do you need when you got TD down low? a pg with a shooters touch combined with TD would be unstoppable. if not for barry's subpar D most of the year and of course beno playing steady, i think Pop would have given brent much more minutes at the point. if tony can develop a consistant 3pt shot for when they back off of him and clog the paint and get on TD, our Spurs will be unbeatable.

Zak, if you have a 2 and a 3 to shoot the three, that is sufficient.
But I am not totally sold that TP can not shoot the J. He can hit them in bunches and the more his confidence grows, the better he will be.
very true, and we know bruce can be money from the corner, but manu is a penetrator as well...although he can get hot from outside.
Exactly.
1. He's young still.
2.If he'd gone to college, he'd only be a senior
3. and if he'd taken 6 years to graduate, he'd be a sop re
4. I think he's working on his D. (after-hours lonely footwork?)
5. But he can drive the paint (how long before he's slowed by age or injury) 6. He's still one of the top 5 (or ten)
7. He uses up a lot of energy (on Eva?)
8. He only follows Pop's directions.
9. He promised he'd work on it. Besides, he's a PG, not a SG.
10. Lighten up, he's TP and can do no wrong.
Gervin took hundreds of shots every day in practice, even after he was acclaimed one of the best shooters ever. Sometimes when success comes too early and too easily, a player tends to quit thinking about improvement and stagnates. If he'd complement his current skills with an adequate outside shot and short pull-up jumper, he'd have a chance to be GREAT instead of GOOD.
"for tp to run, run, run and beat the D down the floor"
That's a transition game, and Tony/Spurs won't do it if Pop say not to. Pop prefers 19th century set-piece battles, where he's lines his Big Tim-Gun and ramrods it with forced-entry passes, hoping the powder is dry.
The whole Spurs-can't-shoot-straight criticism would be less admissable if the Spurs were a league-leading in offensive rebounds to match their rebound-generation "skills".
I still find way too many plays where the Spurs are caught in no man's land : not crashing the basket to get rebounds, nor back on defense, just sorta spectating the shot as if the play was over with the jumpshot launched.
well this thread, even if the questions brought are clearly justified, is a bit sad...
i wonder how hard his J % in such specific cases hurt the team...
for me a player who is that young has to keep improving every year... guess what? Tony is better than last year. Was he even close to go the ASG last year? nope
and what about this year?
for every player you can point out a thing he has to improve... but overall?
Tony is a way better defender than he ever was... and he's for me a TRUE PG...
you want him to turn into a Wade or LBJ type of PG... sorry for me these aren't PG.
There are 5different positions in a bball team, and each of them is supposed to bring something different to make the team win.
yes he lacks accuracy on his J... where are the threads about him improving some areas of his game with all the bunch of statistics that comes w/ it...
and btw you have no idea of how inconsistent he was when he was playing in France... he has done such a tremendous growth in the way he plays and how much he wants to win that i'm still amazed...
you want him to be the best PG ever? well sorry he may not be....
but he has definitely enough talent and things to bring to the team to help the spurs to get another ring... and believe me, he wants to get better and that's why he'll keep improving year after year...
Being an Eagles fan, Brewski is an utmost expert on teams dissapearing down the stretch.he has a tendency disappear down the stretch
Brewski hates him, where is he when Parker has a good game??
BTW speaking of that, Parker nailed CLUTCH jumpshots in the 4th quarter sunday,
no comment on that?
I'll say it one more time. If Parker can manage to get through the playoffs without disappearing on us, I'll get off his back. I'm not talking about one game here or there. Everbody has bad games. I'm talking about that mental wall he always seems to hit that makes him disappear for games at a time.
that's true but believe me... its not even close to what it used to be when he was here in france... he just played for fun like a kid who has fun playing bball not really caring about who wins at the end... he has obviously done some improvement in this area even if its not perfect its more a physical/mental problem than only a mental one as it was...
HIS JUMPER WAS WORKING TONIGHT
Lets hope he can keep it up. I won't be holding my breath.HIS JUMPER WAS WORKING TONIGHT
sonics is a good team
I would rather see him do it against good teams then say the cavs
Make sure you keep those rose collored glasses cleaned.
I rember tp hitting the game winner in person a year ago in phoenix
