It's been alluded to a couple of different times already, tbh. If you can't tell that there's chemistry issues with the team from watching them play lately, then ing bro, go get your eyes checked asap.

Did you have truth pie for dessert?

By whom?

[SupremeGuy]

By whom?

Danny mentioned it, and then the players had a player's only meeting...

[ChumpDumper]

Danny mentioned it, and then the players had a player's only meeting...

So no one actually said anything about Parker or actual locker room issues.

OK.

Wasn't going to reply to this, but i'll bite... If you're going to post box score stats, some context should be also made available, unless of course, you have an agenda or something.....

McCallum's made 10FG's Breakdown:

1st FG- Came off a P&R while Splitter was guarding him, and he drove past him
2nd FG- Drove by Parker, scored over TD
3rd FG- Came off a fast break after a Duncan miss
4th FG- Parker not in the game. TO lead to a fast break basket past Patty
5th FG- Parker not in the game. Got by Patty and hit jumper over Duncan
6th FG- Parker not in the game. Got by Patty, and lay in over Splitter
7th FG- Parker got around screen, and Ray hit a contested jump shot over TP
8th FG- Fast break basket off missed FG over Parker and Boris
9th FG- Shot clock winding down, great defense by Parker, Ray had no choice but to throw up a prayer, it went in.
10thFG- Garbage time. Parker not in, drove by Cojo

I could probably go back and see how many the 7 misses came were off Parker but it's not worth it. Your agenda is pretty sad if you are reverting to McCallums box score stats and insinuating Parker failed defensively. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and highlighted 4 of them that came with Parker playing defense, but even 2 of those, were very well defended by Parker, and it seemed the 2nd one was by design where we like to funnel wings into the paint where TD/Splitter are.

All this is readily available on NBA.com/stats

Video box scores are awesome.... You can see every made FG, every missed, assist, turnover, etc.... Helps to refute the garbage threads like this.

Try being objective, man. I saw the game. He's statistically a bottom 5 defender in the league for a reason and it's no coincidence McCallum nearly doubled his career high against him. He sucks at 'fighting' through screens and his 'contests' are weak. CoJo came in for one defensive possession in the 4th when McCallum was getting anything he wanted vs Rique--just that one possession made it obvious that McCallum wasn't very good he was just exploiting a terrible defender in Rique.

[FkLA]

Your argument basically consists of:

'Yeah, he's a bottom 5 defender in the entire league and his opponents score on him at will but he tries.'

[bklynspursfan]

You basically ignored the argument. I'm not disagreeing his defense hasnt been subpar the last few seasons, but if you think his closeouts were weak last night, there's no point in discussing anything. The video proof if there.. I am simply discussing his effort and defense from last night

[KL2]

OP is exaggerating , c'mon, McCallum isn't that bad

His closeouts are weak by default, like Bonner, Belli etc. guy just doesn't have the physical ability, even when they look good they're bad. Same thing happened to him against ORL against Payton, dude was tearing him up.

Plus when a player is penetrating as much as McCallum it means he's sucking in the defense, breaking it down, so if he passes out and they continue to move the ball, he won't get the assist. Constant penetrations that suck in the defense also lead to rebounding, more high % put back shots cause they're around the paint, a discombobulated defense etc.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I doubt there were even 5 people on this board who heard of Ray McCallum before this game
