Parker: Pass The ing Ball

[George Gervin's Afro]

PS. Every single freaking player on the Spurs roster, outside of Tim Duncan, has ed up more than once in this series. Why does everyone call out Parker?

Because he is the point guard who has the ball in his hands almost 90% of the time when he is in the game. Most people have a problem with his decision making (because he has the ball in his hands the majority of the time) myself included. As we all are aware these games come down to one or two possessions each game so it is imperitive Tony make good decisions. I am a born and raised San Antonian and love the Spurs but if you score 27 points but give away 5 possesions in tight game consistently people notice. I don't like to criticize someone without specific examples and I gave mine when he almost single handidly allowed the Mavs back in the game at the end of the 3rd qtr. Look we all want to win but EVERY possession is huge and we cannot afford to just force shots because we want to be aggressive.

There are two things I hope for when we play:

I hope Tim Duncan hits 60% of his foul shots every game
I hope TP does not give to many possessions away..

Spurs fans are classic. The Mavs aren't leaving anyone on the perimeter to help when Parker has the ball. Who is he supposed to pass it to? It's not like he's driving and he's missing wide open shooters on the perimeter.

If you want to say Tony needs to sack up and stop talking about how injured he is, I could see where you're coming from. But to say he's not passing enough shows you don't understand the defense the Mavs are playing.

I disagree here. Please go back to your TIVO and watch the Spurs ball movement when Tony is taking a breather, in particular in the 4th quarter. Passing and sharing the ball is an essential part of basketball, and it keeps all the TEAM involved.
