Without Tim this team is vulnerable defensively regardless. Now if only the options included Prime Timmy ...
He got locked up by thabo.
injured my ass. Curry just got shut down by LDN while Kawhi shut down Klay. That was the reason the Spurs took over the series following Game 2.
Its still a top 10 team defensive team...they can really play elite defense specially with Dedmon-Green-Leonard all in the same floor.
He got injured trying to juck danny. I know.
Top 10 on defense is nowhere near enough unless the offense becomes more fluid and unpredictable. If they keep with the same offense as last year and this year so far they won't get past the second round (or even the first if they see Houston or Utah).
I'm trying to think of an elite player Ginosebleed outplayed in the playoffs... can't think of one. Only role players come to mind.
MVParker otoh has an impressive resume in the golden age of PG's..
Getting cucked by a one legged player.
lol deflecting
answer the first paragraph
O . CN going in raw.
Meanwhile, Manu's playoff resumé:
MVParker is Top 10 all time in NBA history in playoff points.... Top 5 in assists
best guard to ever wear a spurs uniform
Parker, because it fills a bigger need, but I don't think either would fully make up for our utter incompetence at the guard position.
The 1, 2 punch of having both prime Parker and Manu at the same time is what made us so good(outside of Tim, obvs).
Having one or the other would catapult the Spurs to favorites to win it all tbh. Either would provide a steady 18-20 PPG while creating shot opportunities for themselves/others that this team currently just can not do.
One of Parker or Ginobili would fully make up for whatever Guard need this team has...
Seriously..We're talking about guys that finished top 10 in MVP votings and were legit All-NBA players.
Pop just has to play Parker or Ginobili around 32-33 minutes, nothing silly like 29 or some .
Quite clowning your pants and start licking your wounds from that Newton tongue lashing! Parker has 3,385 points, 1,112 assists and 612 rebounds throughout his playoff career compared to Manu's 2,903 points, 772 assists and 820 rebounds. Do you really expect the smallest guy on the court to be grabbing rebounds?
Tony. PG is a huge need. The team is already stacked with wings (when Kawhi should be playing 40 minutes in the playoffs unless it's a blowout) and a very limited Manu (unless he goes Kirby with his shooting) is good enough for the bench. MVParker meantime can boost your points in the paint to compensate for Softdrige and Gasoft and this team has a lot of good shooters in the SL. LDN would spring back to life and Kawhi would get the chance to be set up for a change on occasion....
If he goes too much hero that's when you go to Kawhi and bring up Mills off the bench.
I just think the hole at PG is so huge right now and the team looks so much better when Tony is playing well, that you'd get more in this current team from MVParker.
You are liable to bang your head UNT style instead if you had prime Manu and still saw washed up Tony playing the PG spot in the playoffs and you know Pop would do it...
I didn't see Manu in his true prime though. That's a loss for me, maybe I'd change my tune if I had.
To tell you the truth either or and I would take it, both would benefit this team majorly right now.
I have a bias, so I voted and I'm not going to badmouth Tony to make my point. If Manu wouldn't be an option, I would certainly take prime Parker, tbh...
