That's probably true for every player in the playoffs. I don't know if people don't watch other players enough or just expect to much, but in these 2007 playoff Parker has been pretty consistent. (I'm not talking about last year when he was hurt - or the prior years when he was so young) Players are going to always have an off night now and again, but they aren't machines. Parker and Oberto have probably been the most consistent players in thisSpurs postseason.So far he hasn't been very good in most of his NBA playoff appearences. In all of them he has had some spectacular games, but he has also had some horrible ones in every playoff as well. I would like to see him breakout in the playoffs more instead of just playing very good on many nights and poor on others. He is capable of more offensive productiveness in the playoffs, and I hope to see it from him for the rest of this playoffs, and in the future.

I am not talking about consistency in the sense of how many games the player is or isn't horrible. It's more a combination of stats and general observation. Tony's averages/numbers usually drop in efficiency in the playoffs by a reasonable amount, something that can't happen. He may be good on D, and consistent from game to game, but he doesn't have enough awesome games to merit the horrible games he has had. The statistics show the inconsistency, even if by the naked eye it looks like Parker is the least inconsistent on the Spurs. Consistent to me is also about having some great games, minimal horrible games, and playing at a level matching or exceeding your regular season. That's just comes with observing statistics, not only watching the games and going by if the player made timely shots etc....
My inconsistent label for Tony more pertains to his drop in efficiency and playoff productiveness when comparing to his regular season. I am not trying to say he isn't playing good defense, or that no other player isn't consistent or inconsistent. Just that Parker is capable of playing better (or at least was in some of his previous playoff runs). I do think this is Parker's best playoffs to date.....
So, in your eyes, what were his horrible games this post season that are numbering more than his great games?
Like I said, he hasn't really done poorly this playoffs, just statistically he is weaker than his regular season. Same goes with Manu, but Parker a little more so. Parker may have been more consistent than Manu this playoffs however, and he does play more minutes.
But I was speaking more in the past playoffs like 03, 04, sometimes 05, and less so in 06 considering his health.
I do expect more than he has showed this playoffs, but I am pleased with his D. Manu I am also dissapointed with for the most part too. Duncan and Oberto seem to be the biggest playoff performers relative to their regular season contributions.
If anyone should be traded it's Ginobili. I think we can get some quality players for him this offseason.
20/7 isn't really statistically weaker than his regular season. He's had some bad turnover games and his FG% isn't incredible - but he's still had a statistically solid postseason so far. I'm take 20/7 and good D without complaint.
If you look at the top players in the league, they all have had bad nights in the post season - Duncan, LeBron, Billups, Manu, on and on. I just think, for whatever reason, people think Parker (and most Spurs players) should be robots.
You guys are ridiculous.
At least wait until after we've taken home Trophy #4 before we run our best players out of town. And isn't winning the le the whole point?
Yeah, let's trade away the little guy who makes a bunch of hustle plays every night. Brilliant idea, guys.

yeah, that tony parker really sucks.
How many championships does Steve Nash have in his possession? On the other hand, how many rings does Tony Parker have? Tony over Steve
For that matter, how many rings does Jason Kidd have? Steve Francis? Jason Terry? You can put just about any point guard on there and Tony Parker sports more rings then all of them put together.
iF HE GETS A BETTER DEAL, GO FOR THE $
That said, the Spurs better start building around TP if they don't
when TD Retires, the spurs can look for a finals apperance 5-10
years afer TD Leaves, unless the Boston Curse comes to SA
Retaad
No need to fabricate arguments in TP's behalf, he answered it himself with his performance tonite.
See Elnono this was a great trade Parker thread
Me posting 6 years ago, supporting future Spurs cornerstone like it should have been.No need to fabricate arguments in TP's behalf, he answered it himself with his performance tonite.
Quality bump considering this was written just before #4 and Finals MVP
This thread actually is proof positive of why you need to sell high. The praise DWill received here (including timvp "top five player before long" crofl) just goes to show that getting fat and lazy is just around the corner, tbh
Come on, don't be too hard on Manu.
I wanted to trade TP .
But now is not Hill .
Now , even backup PG is not ...

Not clutch tbh. Should've picked up Fisher when we had the chance.
