No. It's not just you. The Tony choke factor is alive and well.
Could they have tried to get the basketball closer to the basket instead of Tony taking a horrible shot from 20 feet??? Is it just me or does anyone else think Tony has a choke factor? He disappears! He has a great game against GS, then non-existant against Port! I don't want this kid taking a shot when the game is on the line in the playoffs. They should of driven to the hole or anything else besides that. Not to mention when when Okur tapped in the rebound AGAIN, tony and bruce are sitting there watching it happen again. Common sense would tell you "watch out for Okur".

have you ever heard of fatigue???
The whole team is inconsistent, but Tony is one of the worst. Tonight his stats looked OK, but he lost the game at FT line and by not driving in crunch time, and he had his bemused/bored look on his face. He really should never take up poker.
Yeah because Manu hit a clutch shot to send it into overtime.
Not when I was 22 years old.
So you were a better athlete than Tony at 22?
Just validates my point. If you're too tired, let someone else take the shot.
Give TP a break, he's played his ass off last few games. This is 3rd back to back game.
Damn straight. Manu was hitting his shots late in the game. Why not give the rock to him?
he should never shoot a jumpshot late in games..or ever for that matter. his game is around the basket. dont get lazy tony. take it to the hole...thats what you do with Eva, why not do it in the game?

Didn't you just see Manu miss the last shot of the game? Or did you run to the computer after Parker missed a J?
The team came out flat(tired) and the quick whistles didn't do much for any rhythm. Utah wanted it more and had the energy.
I hear ya but Parker obviously wasn't feeling it tonight. Manu looked a uva lot better (late in the game) than that last shot indicated.

he pretty much scored on every play before the last shot.

Manu had 21 pts on 7 shots
Parker had 17 pts on 18 shots
Who do you want to shoot game winner???????
Comon, Manu missing the shot at the buzzer when he had 1 sec to shoot is not the same as TP dribbling the ball for 9 secs and shooting a la Francis.
Coaching 101. With the game on the line, high percentage shots. No excuses.
This thread is comic relief at it's finest after a tough loss...
Who the cares who missed what!!!! the TEAM lost!!!! LETS NOT START THE MANU VS TONY AGAIN!!! Seriously TimVP, don't tell you're going to start arguing this ?? Have some sense man, Parker played a good game today, whoever says otherwise doesn't know .
Tony missed two shots down the stretch in a meaningless game against the Jazz.
Get over it. Whipe the blood from your mangina and sack up.
Yeah, so? Manu missed. He got the last shot. WTF are you complaining about?
Damn, Parker gets blamed for taking shots, not taking shots and even if someone else misses shots, it's Parker's fault.
I'm just trying to figure out how Parker choked in this game when he didn't even take the last shot.
Calm down.
when you are 7-18, you are not the hot hand.
TP should have dribble penetrated and dished out to a better shooter tonight.
Poor play selection.
Jim covered it. Look, our team will be better off if they all know who the man is for a last second situation. Manu should have been the initiator for the offense on every possession inside of two minutes, and should be for any close game in the future.Manu had 21 pts on 7 shots
Parker had 17 pts on 18 shots
Who do you want to shoot game winner???????
But Pop's also blown games in the past by going to Tim when he's 6-21 or like that, so expecting him to realize Manu's efficiency at the offensive end on nights like tonight is a lost cause.
The only excuse I see the Tony apologists coming up with is that he was tired. If he was that tired, it just makes his decision on our second to last possession look even worse, because he should have deferred to someone else having a better game.
