"Start Paddy" Krew :lmao

[SupremeGuy]

patty scored the same amount of points as parker. on two less shots. mills had three more rebounds. parker had four more assists but also had three more turnovers. patty had two more steals and one less foul.

The simple truth.

[hater]

Patty is a turs who plays well vs dleaguers. What's new?

[SASdynasty!]

MVPatty would have dropped 60 as a starter against Boobie Farmar.

Lol, Patty's been in the league 7 years and his playoff high is 18 points.

[K...]

Parker had six assists, mills 2. There you go box score info...I say start Parker.

Lmao the only sadder than Parker stans loving Farmar, patty stans who love garbage time minutes.

[gilmor]

U guys are delirious to about Parker.

Did you see how deplorable Steph Curry is in the win against the Rockets..

That's the Grade A little .. you guys should about..

[gambit1990]

our offense needs to be shifted.

parker with the ball gives us less of an advantage than kawhi with the ball.

i start patty in part because he holds on to the ball less than parker, meaning the ball would be in the hands of kawhi more. where it belongs.

the offense needs to be ran through kawhi.

tbh, i would even start manu. but i've been thinking about saving him for the finals... but actually maybe save him for playing golden state.

[gambit1990]

Who cares about last playoffs?

Parker has come out of the gate strong.

Why

[TheGreatYacht]

Mills:
20 minutes, 1-5 shooting, 2pts, 2ast

Parker:
24 minutes, 1-8 shooting, 2pts, 7ast

[DeRozan m8]

We have no back court lol

[midnightpulp]

Mills:
20 minutes, 1-5 shooting, 2pts, 2ast

Parker:
24 minutes, 1-8 shooting, 2pts, 7ast

And outplayed by X. Munford

[gambit1990]

Mills:
20 minutes, 1-5 shooting, 2pts, 2ast

Parker:
24 minutes, 1-8 shooting, 2pts, 7ast

patty played less, shot better and had two less turnovers. and what doesn't show up in the boxscore is how much less patty holds the ball than parker.

Now we're using context

Both were , and this team is going nowhere with BOTH PGs playing like this. We can get away with it against arguably the worst playoff team in history, but the Thunder will be a rude awakening if Parker and Mills continue trending downward.

PG scoring is not as important in an offensive scheme whose second intention is to slow the game down. I have the warriors in 5, but as evidenced with Last years cavs vs. Warriors series before Lebron run out of gas on the offensive end, you need comep ive perimter defender and guys that can score and playmake in the post.

[LakerHater]

in Patty kept gettin posted up on, BAD!

It was always very important for the Spurs in the 4-down Duncan-era (a slow paced, post up oriented offense). We don't beat the Lakers in '03 without Parker's scoring. And when he did struggle in that '03 run, the Spurs looked like , until Steve Kerr (a PG) and Speedy Claxton (a PG) came in and had good games. The next season, the Spurs looked primed for a repeat, but as soon as Phil adjusted and cut off Parker's penetration, the Lakers went onto backdoor sweep.

The only way to mitigate the lack of PG scoring on this Spurs team is with good 3 point shooting and/or another wing penetrator. The former has been for 2 months, and we lack the latter outside the occasional throwback game from Manu.

Munford is 6'3". Livingston is going to eat Patty alive (if we get that far).

[DAF86]

That Manu, Green, Kawhi, Boris, LA line-up to end the game is something I would like to see more. I thik it cothi come in very handy against the Warriors.

[DAF86]

Munford is 6'3". Livingston is going to eat Patty alive (if we get that far).

And Tony isn't?

This is one of the reasons why I would like to see more of Manu at PG, tbh.

Manu would have to guard Livingston while Patty checks Barbosa.

[TheGreatYacht]

Harrison Barnes and Klay couldn't score on Parker down low this season, tbh.

Manu would probably intentionally foul them

Yeah. I think this run is going to come down to what Manu has left in the tank. We need a dynamic backcourt/wing scorer BADLY.

Manu should get a lot of minutes at a PG in that potential series, hopefully. Livingston has made mince meat of Patty all season, and we obviously know Parker won't do against Wardell.

I say try the regular rotation in game 1, and if they get destroyed, start Manu at PG and split the backup PGs minutes among Patty, Parker, and Andre Miller.

The big differene with those team from this team is that they have a legit top 3 player in the world that can score of off ball movements, isos and Pick and roll. The dynamics offensively is very different, even the post entry passes are significantly different.

Parker was needed to score in some of the games in that era, specially before manu broke out in 04 because Duncan was really the only option. Manu was still part of the comittee offensively.

It's a different dynamic offensively.

[midnightpulp]

Barbosa has gone off on Patty, as well.

Pop brought in K-Mart and Miller to give him some flexibility for these matchup situations, so he needs to get creative.
