Congrats Tony!
I wonder why Tony isn't in any of the H-E-B commercials.
He only played like 17 minutes that game...
(I don't know where to post this so I guess I'll post it in here.)
In the last ten games, the Spurs are averaging 99.8 points per 48 minutes when Parker is on the court. When Parker is on the bench, the Spurs are averaging 72.5 points per 48 minutes.

When tony is on the court the team has a positive net difference scoring of + 6.2 pts per 48 minutes. it drops to + 1.6 when he's off the court.
for Tim, it's + 4 when he's on the court, + 5 when he's off.
for manu, + 5.4 when he's on, + 3.8 when he's off.
well, a lot of stats show that he has been our best player this year.
Congratulations to Tony. Just wondering, do they get any cash or like some certificate or small hardware for winning Player of the Week? I doubt they do, but I was just wondering.
