Dime: Who’s Better: Chris Paul Or Tony Parker?

[Muser]

Manu is a much better flopper than Paul IMO, he disguises it much better whereas Paul tries too hard.




These came to mind, i've never seen Manu attempt a flop that bad.

I'd like to stress that i'm not saying Manu doesn't flop, just that Paul tries way too hard.

[sabar]

Um, no. Stop putting words in my mouth. The idea is that Nash actually attempts to play defense. Which is way better than what Parker does, which is absolutely nothing.

This thread has to have the most re ed posts I've seen all summer. Only culburn regularly running all his posts through a 1400's era thesaurus is more re ed. Do any of the re s in here even watch professional basketball?

1. CP3 > Parker
2. Parker plays defense
3. Nash sucks
4. Duncan is a 3-point specialist

You crappy trolls don't even have to reply as these are irrefutable facts. Go take some lessons from mouse for $2. The whole mavs fanbase could use some trolling lessons.

Parker is a way better defender than Nash. If what you were saying is true, Parker would have been traded a long time ago. Granted Parker isn't a stud defender, he plays defense.....like every single player who earned Popovich's trust.

Exactly. Thank you.

No way in Pop would have trusted a 20 years PG without him playing minimum defense.

Also, this "taking charges" argument is huge bull . First off, the Spurs defense is built on forcing low percentage shots while rarely (if ever) gambling by going for a turnover, since going for a turnover results in an easy shot more often than not.

But second, Nash takes a little under 1 charge a game. That's 1 charge in a 100 possession basketball game. Don't try to say that during the 47 point scoring bonanza Devin Harris was dropping on Nash, the 1-2 charges he successfully drew on Devin Harris made it a good defensive night.

Yes it does, unless you criticize Manu for doing it. If it's not OK for CP3 to do it, then it's not OK for Manu to do it.

Again you are not the authority on how fans should act or be. I can not criticize who I want and criticize who I want. and you can not do anything about it. But anywas I personally don't like it when Manu flops because usually it does not get called and the other player has a straight pathway to the basket. And believe me the refs have caught on adn don't call it, but for CP3 since he's an nba golden boy still gets to get a way with it.

[spursfan09]

I'm not even sure what I'm arguing about anymore lol.

Truth is

CP> TP

CP is a flippity flopper.

Manu is a flopper to, but not to the extreme of CP.

Truth be told

Yup, the refs hate the Spurs and want to screw them over every which way.......but love the rest of the NBA. My most humble apologies for forgetting that.

That's just leftover bitterness in ya from when the Mavs pounded your ass a few months back. You'll get over it,,,provided the Lakers don't go back-to-back on ya.

tee, hee.

drama queen thats not what I mean.

Anyway its hard to argue with someone like a phoenix sun fan who has nothing but biased hatred for the spurs.

[spursfan1000]

I would said Chris Paul and Tony Parker are about the same, but at leading a team Paul without a doubt, they are pretty average on defense (except Paul can better)

So you attempt to sidestep your insane argument by digging yourself deeper? Way to go.

How are they the same? Parker is a score first guard, while Paul is a pass first guard who manages to score more points on top getting 5 more assists per game. There isn't a legitimate reason to pick Parker over Paul in any cir stance.

It's even harder to argue with a Spurs homer who thinks that whenever the Spurs lose, the refs have something to do with it.

You're right, someone with the SN DUNCANownsKOBE must have nothing but biased hate for the Spurs.

I find it funny that he would claim that, even though you haven't actually bashed the Spurs at all in this topic.

Furthermore, I actually had 2-3 posts a page back about how much better of a defender Parker is than Nash.

True, Chris Paul does get more points for the simple fact that he is the team #1 option on offense. Parker has to share shots with Manu and Duncan last year ( half the season with Manu)

Parker attempted more shots per game than CP3 last year.

And? Paul still manages to get shots for his teammates and himself at the same time. If Paul wanted to, I'm sure he can score even more points if he didn't make the effort to get his teammates involved.
