are the spurs better without parker?

[bklynspursfan]

nico is a natural passer. racked up 5 assists in 8 minutes, took parker 18.



spurs were down by 9 when parker went out.

then with parker out the spurs tightened down defensively and outscored the bucks.

Spurs were neck and neck after the first with tp. He had 4 assists in what 7-8 mins? What happened in the 2nd?

I think the poll speaks for itself

The poll is old. I voted "no" at that time but now I'm on the fence. Sometimes I think "yes", other times I think "no way". With the players we have on the roster Tony is probably a must, but to me there's no doubt that the PG position is the one that needs to be upgraded the most for the Spurs to significantly improve their chances in the near future (and by near future I mean it should have already been done this past offseason).

parker left the game in the 3rd.

so in 18 minutes he shot 37.5% on 8 shots. had 5 assists, 2 turnovers. not worth what we're paying him this year or the next.

spurs were down by 9 when parker left. spurs looked much better without him. i'm not surprised.

somehow the people who still believe in tony never take his "defense" into account.

[gambit1990]

tony parker currently has a -0.3 VORP worst on the team

even murray, forbes, and nico have a -0.1.

[gambit1990]

tony is only ahead of murray, forbes, and nico when it comes to:
-defensive win shares
-win shares
-win shares per 48
-defensive box +/-
-box +/-

I know he left in the 3rd, but in the 2nd is when we lost control.

Either way, I know his defense is not great. We don't really have a defensive PG on our team anyway since Cojo left.

It's a shame bc if he had to earn his role, one would say he doesn't deserve it.
He's basically the worst player in the rotation and even guys outside of the rotation like Davis and Kyle, whose playing time is inconsistent, have been at least helpful to the team when they have played.

since you're big on +/- all of a sudden, wanna explain why tony is:

for the season, excluding tonight's game, tony has:
-the 9th best OBPM on the spurs (-1.5)
-the 13th best DBPM on the spurs (-2.6)
-the 12th best BPM on the spurs (-4.1)

To answer the OP, never have been, never will be.

spurs really needed parker's 1 for 8 shooting tonight

[gambit1990]

getting tony's contract off the books was my idea when y'all thought he was still an all star level player

[Clipper Nation]

Porker is now the third-best point guard on his own team. MVPatty and MurrayVP >>>>>>> Porker.

Forgot about Lapro, tbh.

It seems like the Spurs have problem...

[gambit1990]

parker shot 1 for 8 tonight and is averaging 2.75 assists over the past four games

If he keeps getting that few assists for the next 20 games, he might not lead the team anymore.

[SASdynasty!]

Lol at this chart. It has a 43% shooter who averages 6 turnovers a game as a great offensive player? Lol.

[gambit1990]

i'm hoping he doesn't play one more game for spurs.
