Enrique..

I haven't seen TP play this terrible since the mid 2000s. He's regressed badly from 2013.

Tonight at halftime: 22pts, 4ast, 9-12 shooting

... Btw OP is a got.

Good 1st half in the 5th game of the season, hopefully he continues to play well in the 2nd half, I like seeing TP play well, obviously..

[ElNono]

Hopefully a turnaround point for him, tbh.... we all miss MVParker, IMO.

Did he really have 22pts at the half? Only 6pts in the 2nd half?

Not only were 22 of his points in the first half, so were 4 of his 5 turnovers for the game. Yes, in the second half he only took 6 shots - and only one of those was in the fourth. He made the only one he took in the fourth. He missed four and made one in the third. So his 6 point scoring for the second half was on two made baskets and two made free throws. When TP left in the third quarter, it was still a two point game, just as it had been at the end of the half. It was at that point that N.O. went on a run to increase their lead to ten by the end of the quarter. When TP came back in the fourth, he only took one shot, which he made, but none of the first squad made a dent in the 10 point lead that the Pels had built after Tony sat in the third.

Tony playing dominant ball is fine, but only if he averages more than 30 ppg to offset the stagnancy he brings into the offense. I think Manu would be a better pg at this stage than Parker

He IS a better PG than Parker. One of the reasons we were so dominant in last year's playoffs was Manu ran the offense for large portions of each game. It's the regular season though. We don't need Manu breaking down before the playoffs so I'm ok with him having a more reduced role in order to save him for another post-season run.

Horrible start of the season for TP. The On/Off numbers are bad...like 2014-2015 Kobe levels of negative impact right now. Maybe Joseph should be the starting point guard for now:

+20.6 - Tiago
+16.5 - Timmy
+15.1 - Belinelli
+13.1 - Manu
+7.9 - Kawhi
+7.9 - Joseph
-1.0 - Baynes
-6.6 - Bonner
-8.5 - Boris
-20.1 - Errors
-22.0 - Green
-27.8 - Parker

In addition to Enrique, Green and Boris need to get their head out of their asses.

The first four didn't play against the Rockets, that explains the +-

What happened to Parker's defense? He played well offensively but was getting scored on like crazy by practically everyone as he was last year, without Green/Leonard defending PG's idk where this team would be. He was an elite defender a few years ago too, for like a year lol, still remember him holding Irving to like 0 points that one game. Even against big men he would do a great job at fronting them, holding his position the best he could, making shots difficult.

He's probably one of the worst defensive PG's in the entire NBA, really masked by the Spurs' defenders.
