Biggest offseason move= Tony Parker

[greens]

Duncan has taken plenty of grief for losses on this board. In game blogs, in threads. He's been called soft, a pussy, it's been said he's rich, bored, and doesn't care anymore. I'm pretty sure there have been "trade him while he still has some value" threads. Duncan is the foundation of this team but he has taken his share of hits for losses on SpursTalk.

Yeah, I know that Timmy gets a lot of blame from the media and such. But even after some of his worst games against NO, I didn't see a single "Trade Timmy" thread.

I did watch him get a ton of the blame when he was playing on two bum ankles in the 2005 Finals from the media.

I'm just saying that it seems on this particular forum, if there is a loss, it's usually either blamed on Tony or Manu. The both of them pretty much get the most flask on this forum.

Like I KNEW that if the Spurs lost to the Lakers in this series, there would be like three or four "Trade Manu" threads. And there are even more now, I think.

Either way, REAL Spurs fans do not demand to trade any of the core four players. That's distasteful.

I wouldn't trade Tony but he does have to make better decisions and adapt when the opposition takes things away from him. That's where the assists thing comes in. He dribbles the shot clock away a lot, and if Tony needs to work on something besides his shooting which is coming along great I think, it's his decision making after he gets to the 15 sec spot on the shot clock. He needs to know when to give it up and not just waltz around and turn the ball over or pick up his dribble with no out. But the fact is that Tony is a mismatch no matter who lines up against him, he just has to need to recognize how much more he can do with what he has, and one of those things is finding open guys when the 5 guys on the other team are chasing him around.

Agreed, but the open guys need to make shots when he dishes them the ball.

With an healthy manu, our BIG 3 is not far from being the greatest Big 3 ever

No way. Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy. Or Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor.

No. Not just no no!!!!!

[ducks]

Naturally it was Tony's fault. It's funny how that always is the case. Manu scores like 3 points in games 1 and 2 and yet it's Tony who's at fault.

[romain.star]

No. Not just no no!!!!!

well... let me rephrase my sentence: our big 3 is one of the greatest big 3 ever. Is that ok with you now?

[Brutalis]

TP+Bowen+2009 1st for LeBron? We have better odds teaching him how to hit a jumper.

Nah.. I like TP. He does his job.

[MannyIsGod]

the assist. is the most unappreciated part of the game.

No , but its hard to get them when your teammates can't make ing shots.

Man, Spurs fans, I'm not reading anymore of this thread.

Spoiled ing es.

[stxspurs]

there you go....everyone wants 3's....if we learned one thing this season its this...PO games are won in the paint, not from the arc.we got alley-oop after alley-oop performed on us like ive never seen before..get another big man who doesnt choke like fab,horry,kurt,bonner, and start from downlow before you even think about the 3's...go spurs go

i agree...i said i didnt like this when we won the hornet series(living and dying by the 3) and everyone got on my case and ......like i said it came back to bite us in the ass.

I guess this needs to be posted:

Tony Parker is not part of the problem.

No way. Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy. Or Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor.

OK, the first makes sense, but #2? Wilt/West/Baylor never won together. I'd take Bird/McHale/Parish over Wilt/West/Baylor any day.

I'm still in shock at how many people forget what it was like to not have a backcourt that could put points up. Then again, everyone has also forgotten the days of Chucky Brown and Antonio Daniels guarding the Kobe's and TMac's of the league too.

How many of these mofos were Spurs fans back then?

[Spurtacus]

Parker needs to keep doing what he's doing. Three championships with him. I'm not going to complain. If you guys think Parker needs to pass the ball more, then we need to bring in athletic guys for him to pass to. Also, being able to knock down wide open shots would help too.

Nash - Stoudemire
Deron - Boozer
Paul - Chandler
Parker - ???

Parker - Mahinmi
