Dude he looked like Tony of old considering the injury.
Hhhmmmm......it definitely was late in the game before he really got it going. Before that, GSW fans had to be glad he was relatively quiet. I think he's a bit slowed down by the calf, but nothing too serious I'm thinking. He certainly found another gear late....

Tony has got a huge compe ive heart and should get more recognition for how tough he is. He's as tough as AI or Kobe, he's definitely playing banged up.
Tony did look like he was only 80-85% tonight. His outstanding stats are a credit to how hard he worked out there.
The trolling on this site has reached an epidemic when people troll a thread because the thread starter trolls too much... even though the current thread is not a trolling thread at all. smh
Tony basically said the same thing in his post game interview. He said he was really "hurting" and "slow." Even went on to say he felt like a "50 year old man," so he was indeed just fighting through it.
He looked slow in the 1st half but really got it going in the second. I don't know how much of that is 'feeling healthy' and how much of it is just playing through the pain to will the Spurs to a win. Major props for his performance tonight. He did look much better in the end.
What Tony said after the game was that it took until the second half for the leg to get warmed up enough that it wasn't hurting him too much. I heard him say virtually the exact same thing a few weeks ago about some other injury.
If that is the case, he should be warming up about an hour before game time, or the trainers should be doing something more to ease that knot in his leg before the game starts.
I think you can count on Curry having an injection prior to the next game, so Tony is going to need to be at his best.
The problem with having much time between series is that although it allows Tony time to rest and recover, down time seems to get Manu and Duncan out of their rhythm, so it really hurts some players while helping others.
@ ElNono bashing
Unless I missed an hidden agenda (like duncan and manu have the excuse to be old, what is parker excuse ?) which is always a possibility with the pope of the CoM, it sounds like a very legit thread and I agree with OP about his concern.
Some two cents. I think Pop limited his minutes more than usual and gave him some long rest stretches (parker played 34 mn). it helps that Cory played well but it could be also because parker is indeed banged up. For me Parker was trying to manage his game, in O he run less around 3 screens through baseline and he was looking more his team mates. He was aggressive but more selective which is not a bad thing at all, he chose when to explode. To sum up he played like a vet out there, that was a very clever game by Parker considering he is not 100%. Once again here his JS is key, when he shoots it well he is more assertive and he doesn't try to do it all by himself.
We need to finish that asap to get a bit of rest and give time to the ping pong ball to disappear. One thing is clear he won't be 100% for the whole PO, he needs to fight through it, there is no other way around. Spurs need to hide as much as possible in D, the more energy he spends there the worst look our offense.
to Parker for his very solid game and
Parker looked horrible most of this series but has been playing progressively better. I think the concern is understood but given how much cleaner and more effective at finishing yesterday, I'd say his health is improving not declining. Looks like if Memphis wins that series it actually might be a blessing because it will allow us to come back to SA and get TP extra days of R&R to get close to 100% for Grind City.
TP is not 25 anymore

I believe that's the Calfmaster 3000
Frankly, the Spur I was more worried about was Duncan. After the first quarter he didn't look like he could walk well, much less play well.
And today, he was even limping on the way to the plane.
Same. This was why blowing game four was crucial. Five games in eight days, with two overtimes thrown in, have clearly taken a toll (I told all those who were rest obsessed and backed Pop's every move this season that, once the grind of the playoffs kicked in, all the micromanaging wouldn't matter) and now they're either going to have one-two days before the start of the WCF, which will probably go every other day. It was already going to be difficult offensively against the Grizzlies defense to begin with and this will only exacerbate matters.
Wow you guys worry more about the players health than they do.
lol god your a whiny little brat
Lots of people in this neighborhood bleed silver and black. That pretty much says it all.
