People here thought I was crazy calling me all sorts of names when I said I thought the extension was a mistake. Im still hoping im wrong though.
Did TP even play today?

Chris Paul had 17 assists tonight. How many did Tony have? 3.
It's stunning how terribly the front office did on Parker's extension. Stunning.
How they don't just wait is mind boggling.
This is the same miserly team that penny pinched and strong armed in negotiations with almost everybody. Stephen Jacks round one.. David Robinson until he finally had to threaten going to New York. They refused to pay Scola. They try to squeeze Baynes. Parker's first big contract. George Hill on his rookie deal, James Anderson too.
But they lost their minds on the extension.
They did make him a Spur for life though honestly. I guess that was their mission? If so he is here for the long run and will retire a Spur like he should. Was the contract bad? Maybe looking at it RIGHT NOW, but honestly hindsight 20/20 going into the season.
If he can figure out he's a role player, maybe he can be useful...
Not a fair comparison, man. Paul actually has talent(phenomenal court vision for example). Parker's just a run-of-the-mill scoring point that heavily relied on his quickness in his prime. Never was a creative passer or all that great in running a ream's offense(except for the 2013 season which is looking like an aberration now)
Reminds me of the 2007 offseason. Spurs stay the same and all the contenders making moves to get better. Still ridiculous they chose not to use the MLE.
btw you complained Manu being overpaid in the 2012-2013 season, now are you going to say the same with your idol Enrique?. I hopes so..
TheGreatYacht, hater and the rest of the Tony Parker defense force are all posters. These people are so warped with their obsession with Tony that they think everyone criticizing Parker are Manu fans(ridiculous, I know) As a result, their only counter to the Tony Parker criticism is bashing Manu...which makes no sense since Manu's been pretty damn good this year and last year.
he looks bad and even hurt out there. I am not sure more playing time will fix that. it's sad. If seedings become more and more important, Pop needs to decide to start playing Cojo and Mills more. I am not confident on Parker to fix his game anytime soon.
Enrique off the bench? Cojo starter maybe? Enrique's ty D won't be an issue when he's going to guard the PG second unit of the enemy..
I don't want Frenchie to up the Patty/Manu chemistry. I'd rather Parker just not play right now. The Tony Parker defense force keeps using the injured excuse. If that's the case, he should take a few more weeks off before he sinks this team out of the playoffs.
Yeah, at this point I'd rather he milk that mild asscheek strain the whole year. It's a minor, day-to-day injury but if he wants to continue to use it to mask his decline I'd be more than happy to go along with it.
Yeah I forgot about that, trade Enrique.. oh wait nobody is going to pay that contract![]()
Mills, Manu, Kawhi, Duncan and Diaw starters (good ball movement)
Enrique,Cojo/Belinelli, Green, Splitter, Baynes off the bench? I know Enrique and Belinelli can't play at the same time so in that case Cojo and Belinelli as PG and SG respectively..

Nah if it was up to me I'd do:
Cojo/Green/Kawhi/Duncan/Splitter
Manu/Patty/Beli/Diaw/Baynes
Limit Beli's minutes by playing Kawhi 35-40 mpg. He's young, hungry and has sat out half the season. Let Enrique sulk while he nurses his mild asscheek strain.
"if it was up to me"

it'll be up to Cantinflas dead body before it's up to you got![]()
No . Doesn't mean I'm necessarily wrong though.
I think you see Enrique's decline too. Don't think you are in denial like some other posters. You just have to maintain your schtick which I understand.![]()
never denied Parker is struggling to get to 100% tbh
He's currently at 60%. I, like most true spursfans hope he can get to 90% at least for us to have a chance in . If Tony does not get to even 80% we'll get bounced in round 1 or 2. if you think that's "schtick" then go ahead and think so![]()
Spurs should trade Parker asap, he's on the decline, especially defensively.
He's never been that good to begin with tbh, he's always been outplayed or matched by opposing PG's with less help. Parker is a system player.
Ball movment on the O aside Even Parker fans should have a concern that he has become a huge liability on the defensive end. Spurs just dont have the quik intimidating shot blockes on the roster to compisate for the penetration from whom parker is guarding. Parker just looks all around bad out there.
That's why it's amazing that these fools continue to root against Tony. They're rooting for an early exit and are too stupid to realize it.
