Derozan better than Manu and tony

[dabom]

Detrash vs Manu.

[K...]

Parker was never been a first option he was just a side kick of Timmy.

we're talking offense only here. Parker was def a first option during his peak and duncan's post peak.

Nope..he was just a good system player..look at him now in Charlotte and last year..lol

[MannyIsGod]

So Tim Duncan was the 2nd option? I always thought the "better" player was the 1st option.

Um, yes.

I've had it with you new Spurs fans. Its ok if you don't know but don't act like you do.

[DAF86]

He's not a Spurs fan, tbh. He's a DeRozan fan. He even said it himself.

[Arcadian]

Better than 2017-18 Manu and Parker? Obviously.

[skin27]

Better than 2017-18 Manu and Parker? Obviously.

Even better in their primes..Tony and manu have Timmy in their primes that’s why they won championships as a sidekicks of Duncan..

think of this..what if you put 2008 manu in Toronto, can Toronto win a championship with manu or tony as their 1 option?

[TheGreatYacht]

Nope..he was just a good system player..look at him now in Charlotte and last year..lol

He's about to turn 37 and is on his 18th season you pinoy trannie.

37 year old duncan got into all nba first team.. don’t bing the age excuse got

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I think demar will better than manu and tony stats wise...manu and tony won championships because they had Timmy on their side..but I think demar is a better player than the two..

let see what demar can do as the season continues..

It doesn't look like you've been around for long -

Tony and Many were never asked to drop big numbers. The Spurs didn't play super-star basketball, but team basketball so it was very common to get 4-5 players on double digit every night. But make no mistake, Tony and Manu could have easily drop 30 pts a game had they been asked to do so. They had such quality in them.

I also take issue to your comment that they won because Timmy was there. I could say the opposite was true as well

So, no - you are blinded by the new lights but time will put people in their rightful place.

I'm mesmerized by those who want to rewrite history or haven't watched the Spurs in the last 20 years and just come and make up stuff

FYI I followed the spurs since 2003.. parker and manu benefited on duncan’s Presence.. they are both Duncan’s sidekick..

manu had the chance to score and carry the team in 2010-2011 season but he failed to average 20pts a game and loss to the 8 seed grizzlies in the playoffs..

[John B]

yup!! I’m thinking about this one too..what if manu played in Toronto or other teams? Can he carry a team on his shoulders?

umm yup. Manu led the Argetinia to Olympic Gold much more than Raptors in the weaker east.

Nah..olympics is different in nba.. mills also carried australia to olympic gold medal match,so it means mills can also carry the spurs to the nba finals?

You mean the series vs Grizz when Manu played with a broken arm?

even if you are trying to troll you are not very good at this newbie

No no excuse my friend..manu can’t carry an nba team as the go to guy..

Not fully disagreeing with you but your reasons are pathetic

lol listing a series where he had a broken arm and the rest of the team was trash

a prime Manu with the stacked Toronto rosted in the east easily makes the East Finals

a prime Parker has a good chance at NBA finals

But go ahead and list more horrible reasons to back up your claim

i brought up that series because that was the year pop started to limit Duncan’s minutes and gave manu the green light to carry the team as the primary option..

manu was the primary option that season..

but what happen? First round exit..

[John B]

Nah..olympics is different in nba.. mills also carried australia to olympic gold medal match,so it means mills can also carry the spurs to the nba finals?

When did Australia Basketball Team play olympic gold? Their basketball team best showing is Quarterfinals and has zero olympic medals. Now you’re just trolling.

NBA is different from olympics though..

that year the spurs loss to the grizzlies in a sweep

if you watch them 4 games, especially 1st half performance duncan was getting his anytime he touch the ball, then 2nd halves all his touches dried up due to hero ball enrique

[diego]

I dont know which is more stupid.. comparing a 29 year old to a retired player and a 36 year old who plays a different position, basing your argument on a 3 game sample size, or pretending that tim was the same player throughout his 19 year career....

Oh and btw, the 2011 Spurs had the best record in the west, one win less than the bulls, more than any raptors team ever, and would have beat the grizzlies with a healthy manu, he could have, should have, and wanted to play that game 1, that loss is on pop

One of TP's many playoff failures.

[TDMVPDPOY]

hero ball enrique is the worse thing to ever happen to the spurs... imo they shouldve looked for a pass first pg or get that to be a facilitator more then trying to look for his own points hero ball...

in the event had the spurs had a jumping jack center something like jordan/capela who loves to catch lobs or deep in the key for easy 2pt dunks...enrique would never fully utilized them...oh wait, the spurs had dedmon and they failed with him
