unless parker develops some arc in his shot he might lose his starting job.
Thanks ManuMania
I was refering to the fact that Parker showed heart and grit in the double OT example. He scored something like 22 points in the first game and 32 in the second after playing a combined 99 minutes in 2 nights.

The offseason is a fun time too.
Wait until the deadline for signing FAs get near. That's when Jimbo es up the forum
To your boy Beno?
Parker will not join duncan and manu in the all-star game... there are too many big name guards in the west and parker doesn't do enough to seperate himself from them.
No argument here! Parker ruled in those games!

Parker also ruled in both of our playoff OT games...
Parker also made the winning defensive play in that game 5.
Pop credited Parker with starting the defensive stand that altered the course of the game(defensively) in game 7...
He did not credit Bruce or Manu for it...he credited Parker for it.
Prior to this season Parker has had a pretty good shot...this season he took high PCT shots(at the request of Pop) and his J and 3 suffered for it...he still hit some big threes for us...
Parker is a stud, coaches love him...he's tough, he plays hard nosed defense..he can score and for a 22 year old PG he is very consistent...the only thing he lacks is experience...
Parker will make the AS game because coaches are going to put him there...
There are some analysts(these guys aren't fantasy basketball experts so Brewski probably doesn't care what they think) that think Parker is going to be one of the greatest PG's in NBA history by the time his career his over...
I think they are right...
I mean how many 22 year old PG's have been in the All Star Game?
The All Star Games and All NBA and All NBA defensive teams will start next season...he should have been at least 3rd team all NBA Defense this season...
And Parker was the guy that had to take on the regular season MVP and last years playoff MVP, in these playoffs.
And he'll start the All Star Game when ever France votes him in...he's got an easier path to the All Star Game than Manu, who has to get through Kobe and TMac...the only guy totally ahead of Parker in the West is Nash. If Nash has an average season coaches are going to bump Parker over him...in a heartbeat.
but he doesnt step up in big games......Pop credited Parker with starting the defensive stand that altered the course of the game(defensively) in game 7...
He also had the basket to cut the score down to 7 and spark the run that got the Spurs ahead for good BTW.
Wouldn't want to overlook that.
I honestly think Popovich had to credit Parker with something. I mean he took most of his primary duties from him and assigned them to other players (Ginobili/Barry and Bowen). That can really kill a player's confidence. I think Popovich was just doing his job as a coach and keeping Parker's spirits up.

yeah I can see that since tp played so great d in game
I think timvp pointed out that tp gave up like 2 points in game 7 late in the fourth and that was with 10 seconds left
The only thing I know about is Spurs vs. Wizards in North Carolina on Oct. 13.
Chicks that follow Tony only because he's cute who think they know Basketball are not allowed to participate in this debate.15 year olds who think they know Basketball are not allowed to participate in this debate.
end of discussion.
end of discussion.
BUMP.
Still waiting for Brewski's response..........
Nah, 2005 was Manu's breakout year. He took his game to the next level this season.
2006--I expect Parker to take over.
his team won the nba championship 2 times
The annual "Tony Parker will be an All-Star this season" thread?
Or is this the annual, "Is this the season Tony Parker will become the best PG in the game?"
Happens every year.
No the coaches won't do that. What has Parker done that would make the coaches be ready to pounce all over him if Nash shows signs of slowing?
As far as PGs in the west better than Parker, I would throw The Baron on that list as well. Maybe Mike Bibby, too.
Even if Tony Parker doesn't make the all-star team, who gives a . The all-star starters are selected by popularity, and there's not much you can do when China is the home of half the people in the world. The coaches pick the rest of the players, but that doesn't mean that the best players will always be chosen. I'd take a championship ring and its memories over an all-star game any day.
agreed
allen may be in the east next year
nash will be a year older also
spurs do not need allstars at every postion
Based on your list, as far as PG's go in the West, Parker's only compe ion is Nash and Baron. Nash I will admit had a great season last season and can clearly be chosen over Parker. However, Baron Davis.....did you watch that OT game last season where Parker went shot for shot with Davis? I think Parker has shown that he can keep up with the likes of guys like Nash and Davis.
And don't even get me started on Bibby. That dude is softer than Charman's toliet paper. Did you see his major choke job in the first round?
because when he has a game like he did tonight on the road against a rival
The fact that Tony's scoring and assits are up from previous years.
BaronDiddy & MiniMe do play better & are more deserving for the Allstar spot, do they ?
