then you really need to call him out for settling jumpers instead which is his enigma
Without him, we wouldnt have been close in the 1st half. His 2nd half slump was to be expected, he looked somewhat gassed by the time the 4th came around. All in all, a GREAT year for TP. The Spurs wouldnt have gotten as far as they did without him....
The bright side to losses is reading gems like these.
tbh, as I already pointed out, personally, all this streak/WCF stuff was awesome and already way more than I expected, simply because I came into this season with low expectations. Tony should get his props for carrying the team all season long (schtick aside, I think I've made that abundantly clear). But I also think going forward, if anybody is entertaining the idea of "building around Parker", I'm just not sold on that. I think the Spurs can be really good with him, but not the contender-type. So what you do?
So, you couldn't tell he lost his legs?
Cool throw away line
Bull , I had predicted all along that it was going to be a dogfight between many different teams with each having more or less an equal chance to win it. While spur fan was proclaiming they were #1 and a lock, I was the voice of reason saying that they were just as good as a handful of other teams and that the odds would be against them.Great logic. First of all, you weren't right about the Spurs. Not only did you not give them a chance to get to the WCF, you scoffed the idea of TP finishing top 5 in MVP voting.
Secondly, let's say you were right about something and I was wrong, being right about a singular thing doesn't mean you aren't an idiot
I predicted the Thunder in 6 before the series started. I said that the lack of defense and over reliance on young, unproven role players would bite them in the end. That's when Green and Neal the bed. I knew more about your own team than you did and that is why you are buttmad.
Anyone could have seen this coming from a mile away. DMC also gets credit for co-authoring The Prediction.
I saw it a little maybe but even he said that wasn't really a factor.
I've seen this as the final attempt at a ring. I honestly haven't given any thought to what could be next. As of right this second, I think the days of the Spurs being a legit contender are over.
And for the record, Pop was right. This Spurs team wasn't going to win with defense. If they were going to win, it was going to be with offense. And the offense actually held up throughout. Unfortunately, the Spurs ran into an offense that was even more unstoppable.
Wrong. Before the season you wrote the Spurs off. Totally. You relentlessly dogged them. Even when they were hot you didn't say they were wcf contenders. You also bagged on TP all year saying he wasn't an MVP candidate.
One would wonder if they'll be able to lure any sort of talent soon. Then you start wondering how they get into the lottery without scewing the integrity of the team. And theen you just hope and pray for a franchise changer. Hopefully rebuild will not be as painful. Im so damn nostalgic now, I really want a final ring for Timmy :'(
But it was fun to watch.
This was my favorite Spurs season since probably 2005.
I dont get why its such a sin saying that Parker's best play this season wasn't in this series. He played an amazing game 2 and first half of game 6, but for 4 games and a half he didn't play amazing or god mode as some put it, nor great. He played ok most of the times, and sometimes average.
Players are judged based on their past performances, and expectations are measured against them. There are threads after games evaluating performances and in those Parker got a C's and C- if i remember correctly with an A+ for game 2, and a B for game 1? Some players on the team faired better in this series ( based on expectations) then Tony, by your standards.
Its not like this series was easily winnable, everyone should have played beyond their heads for Spurs to have a chance. Saying Parker didnt help us win the series, really isnt saying much, there is 11 more guys on the roster who didnt help in that respect. There are some who helped us loose, and Parker isnt among them, and its not even close.
Irrelevant, the spurs were a different team at the beginning of the year. That was before the emergence of Green, Duncan found a 2nd wind, and the midseason acquisitions of Jackson and Diaw who proved critical.
As a matter of fact, I came upstairs after Dallas beat yall that first game with Jackson and gave props. I said that ya'll were the real deal, but that it would be tough as it was anyone's to win this year. If the mods would take Tyson off all ignore you can view all of my predictions out in the open. GNSF called me everything in the book for it and I simply bookmarked some of the threads for future lulz and bumped them tonight.
And I was right for scoffing the notion of Tony Parker for MVP. He is the reason you are so buttmad, here arguing in a thread making fun of him. He wasn't ever going to lead a team to a championship, he was never that good no matter how hot he was at the time. You jumped at the hype like all the others, and got burned for it.
You pride yourself on being a smart guy, and you can't handle it when you are wrong or get criticized. Everyone here from myself, to Jag, Kori, Timvp and others have criticized you here tonight. You were just flat wrong, on a lot of points.
He finished top 5 in MVP voting
Wrong about Parker
^He choked it tonight too and showed what he was really made of. Tyson was right about the Spurs AND right about Parker, even more right than some idiot analysts who gave him their mvp votes.
Also thanks a lot for being such a ty harrassing poster that they are considering shutting down the site
Good job, dip .
You scoffed me when I said he would finish top 5 in MVP voting. He did. You were wrong. You can't stand it and many people tonight have criticized you for being an idiot, so just man up and admit it.
Throwaway line, stupid opinion, whatever it is you're just making an idiot of yourself now and you are a smart enough guy despite your poor predictions to know better that what you just said is NOT true.Also thanks a lot for being such a ty harrassing poster that they are considering shutting down the site
Good job, dip .
It was undeserved, TP proved his worth here tonight. Solid player, but not an MVP caliber player by any means. Analysts make mistakes and sometimes bring ty opinions to the table, even smart guys like you isn't that right DPG.
MS getting laughed at now by several people
What kind of an honest opinion can one formulate before the start of the season? I took my time, watched a half season of basketball, and made the most accurate predictions thus far of any other fan on the site that I know of outside of DMC. I predicted pretty much every series thus far, except for memphis and LAC.
The spurs flaming out right about now was so painfully obvious to anyone who knows basketball, including the site owners. It wasn't a surprise to anyone except dpg and others who are really really shocked and buttmad right now. You all scoffed DMC and called him a dumbass but now that the shoe is on the other foot you guys owe him an apology.
So you were dishonest.
