Is Tony Parker still the best PG on the Spurs' roster, tbh?

[Malik Hairston]

We don't get past the 1st round without him.
Honest to God you are some sort of invertebrate.
Watch the GD game. For once. Metrics...

Ok, chief..you can keep going with your cliches and unquantifiable observations, it's all good, tbh..

[Nathan89]

Kings might take him off our hands. Let Denver be a third team and we could make something work.

[spurtech09]

parker is still a decent back up

[timtonymanu]

Nope.

[horsielove]

Parker's mediocre playoffs didn't affect the Spurs last year, tbh..

Well actually, tbh, it did affect them. They played better team basketball.

[Johnny RIngo]

parker is still a decent back up

$45 million's pretty damn expensive for a backup point

Any person with the lest bit of scientific sense realizes that modeling the outcome of something with as many variables as sporting contests is pure folly. It can help to identify certain trends, but...

I trust my eyes. I will leave the math modeling to simple phenomena.

Yes.
I believe we would not made it out of the first round last year without Parker.
You obviously think he made no difference in that series.
Its all opinion, I will stick with mine.

Talks about scientific sense, tells Malik I'll just use my eyes and not present stats...

Wow, I have no more words...

You have no more words because you don't understand that modeling complex events with math is stupid.

Anyone who understands the science of math modeling, statistics, and probability knows what I am typing.
Distortion of events using stats is very common. Bending numbers to suit your prejudices is foolish.
If you like lying to yourself it's ok with me.

The only stat that matters is not a number. It's W or L.

leave tony alone



Parker is done...And when he retires, please GTFO of this site..

Mainstream big 3 fans..annoying as fuxk.

[Nathan89]

Tp doesn't pass the eye test. Even Miller called on him to be aggressive. Which is commentator talk meaning he sucks and should try harder not to suck.

leonard did not slow rose done tonight

I didn't say he didn't make a difference in the Mavs series, though..

I said he had a mediocre playoff run..

adjective
adjective: mediocre
of only moderate quality; not very good.

Having a few good performances doesn't negate the superior amount of average/below average/poor performances..

Your statistics argument is a reach, but regardless, your eyes are biased towards Parker, so I can't trust them..

There will be no back to back without Parker.
Do you disagree?

If so, what PG takes over while Tony no longer plays?

Actually, Reggie(one of the least knowledgeable analysts of all-time) pulled out the "still injured" card for Parker, which is even worse..

Even the best analysts in basketball(Zach Lowe for example) use some form of statistics. It's re ed to summarily dismiss all of them in favor of like "the W's the only thing that counts"

The playoff run BEGAN with what series?

enrique fans on here are embarrassing.

The playoff run ends after 1 series?

Statistics are a descriptor of what went on.
So you just read box scores and you got it?

Dont be stupid.

[midnightpulp]

Pgardn does have somewhat of a point. I've long said that Parker is now a "matchup PG" at this stage in career. Against some teams (like last year's Dallas, the Clippers, Golden State etc) who feature smaller point guards, he's a great asset to have. But against bigger and more athletic PGs, like Westbrook and even a broken down Derrick Rose, he struggles. Makes sense that he would have a tough time against longer point guards, since his offense is so jumper-centric these days.
