J.A. Adande picked the Clippers to win. Of course he's going to perceive things that support his opinion.

Bench this SOB. I bet you Patty would say the total opposite. Why Pop continues to play this injured riddled defeatist major minutes is beyond me.

Patty believes he can win everytime he steps on the court and honestly, he is the reason this series isn't over at this point. And ironically, Parker is the reason this series isn't over yet.

Truer words have never been spoken regarding this series.

I wish I knew the ages of these Parker haters. I see two camps. On side are guys who channel their sexual frustration onto a successful attractive man. Then on the other are millennials who didn't watch games from before 2008 and didn't see how dominant prime Parker was.

If he's like this at 32, what's he gonna be like at 38 - when he gets to Manu and Timmy's age? He better be playing for vet's minimum by then after this grossly overpaid contract. And this poster is in her 50s - doesn't fit any of your categories - but his decline is PLAIN to see.

Spurs have two play makers both have been trash in this series. Mills isn't necessarily a better option even though he has a much better series compared to Parker. Unless Ginobili is playing [well] along side him then it would be Mills with Beli or Green. Green has been very good defensively but he's been the really bad in this series. Beli has been great but offensively but, defensively, there isn't really a place to hide him unless Barnes is playing.

I don't trust that unit to score consistently. Mills is an average, at best, play maker, Beli can create for himself and is a good passer but can't consistently create either. Alot of Duncan and Diaw operating out of the high post looking for someone to get open.

I know the posters complaining about the deal are just trolls, but let's just analyze this for a moment . If TP9 hits free agency at the end of next season, what do you think teams would offer him? $12-$15 million a year? LOL.

Tony can get a monster contract from a number of teams in free agency. And without Tony, the Spurs le window will close for the foreseeable future, and who knows if and when it would reopen. Don't the trolls like les? TP is the best point guard in the league, and even if they don't agree with that, he is easily the best point guard for the Spurs.

So tbh Tony is again being underpaid in a material respect, but it was nice to see the Spurs give him the max extension as a way of showing their faith in him and appreciation for him.

Tony Parker player fan blaming other guys for his chokejobs smh

-Tony was the one that went 7-23 in game 5 of the 2004 Lakers series. 7-18 in game 6. Took more shots than prime Timmy.
- the bed against the Mavs in 2006 while taking more shots than TD and Manu throughout the entire playoffs that year
-outplayed by Mario Chalmers in game 6 and 7 of the 2013 Finals

But, yeah, keep blaming Manu every time Frenchie decides to shoot the Spurs out of a championship.

Please...In that Lakers series he outscored Manu per par, scored over 20 a game in the Dallas series, and was our second leading scorer in the Heat series (over Manu again, who was 5th for the Spurs). But of course you don't want to look at the whole series, just select games...so here you go (from the same series BTW):

Manu Ginobili

In G5 against LA, Manu scored 8 points (half of Tony's) and had 3 turnovers. So that's supposed to be good or something?

In the 2006 Mavs series, Parker went for 27 in G5 and 24 in G7 to outscore Ginobili in both. So what is it? Individual games you care about or overall series production? I guess whichever matches your agenda.

G6 vs Miami - 9 PTS, 3 AST, 8 TOV for -21 (Manu's worst game of his career was in a Finals closeout game)...not only outplayed by Mario Chalmers...outplayed by literally everyone on the court because he was basically wearing a Miami jersey.

Do you not think we can just as easily pull out terrible Manu games?

[SASdynasty!]

Derek Fisher s all over Enrique, then. So do JJ Barea, Greivis Vasquez, and Leandro Barbosa.

Why are you listing career backup point guards?

Playoffs career:

Derek Fisher: 8.3 / 2.3 on 42%
JJ Barea: 8.1 / 3.5 on 44%
Greivis Vasquez: 6.5 / 3.0 on 44%
Leandro Barbosa: 11.4 / 2.3 on 46%

I was responding to the players on Tony's tier (aka starters) who he's knocked out of the playoffs multiple times each:

Playoff career:

Tony Parker: 18.6 / 5.2 on 46%
Jason Kidd: 12.9 / 8.0 on 39%
Steve Nash: 17.3 / 8.8 on 47%
Chris Paul: 20.7 / 9.6 on 48%

Ok so I learned Parker did not dominate bigger PG. Noted. He should take Judo then.

Parker is great, this "defeatist" at ude you talk about is why he's the most likely of the Big 3 to coach. Him and Boris. The first NBA head coaches to also contemporaneously coach Foreign National Teams.

[K...]

Alot of people are talking about Parker being somehow the least important of the big three despite playing similar minutes and having HOF production. Since no PG played alone 1-5 the whole "carried by teamates" idea is dumb. Duncan and shooters gave Parker space to drobble but they did not give him the speed.

Parker not passing? Who are the elite shooters who play with him who demand the ball? Green who can't dribble, Kawhi who gets scared of new things? Tiago soft hand?


Jeez, dude is not perfect. That's reserved for guys like Jordan and Duncan. Parker is probably on the outside of the top 100 all time but he's probably going to stay highly regarded despite the "advanced data agenda crew". Parker ran some of the all time most dominate offenses in the recent NBA. That's important. The fact that he was too small and weak to be a lock down defender is not important.
