His O was OK tonight, not his D though..
There's nothing he can do about the defense, he's a 33-year old, 6-foot tall PG, nothing is going to change that..it's up to the coach to make adjustments in scenarios where he's being exploited..
However, he picked his spots and ran the offense well..my only complaint is that he didn't attack Kanter on the switches, but that will probably come with increased confidence, chemistry and rhythm as the season progresses IMO..
If he plays his role like he did tonight, he's going to have a nice bounce-back season IMO..

All those years of carrying the team and chronically injured players on his back have finally taken a toll and the 3rd greatest Spur in history, tbh
Yup.
I thought he hesitated on a couple wide open jumpers after movement though. Can't hesitate on open Jumpers.
Needs to make sure he still has offensive gravity otherwise Kawhi and LMA are going to be easier to defend,
Gotta take wide open shots.
I saw some good stuff from role player tony in the first quarter but the other teams aren't idiots. Tony is going to be attacked all year. All the nba players know tony parker is close to being done.
He needs to gtfo or fake another injury so he can ride the bench.
Lets see how Tony does against scrubbier teams coming up before we make any bold declarations after game 1. We have a very manageable schedule for the next 16 or so games, should probably go 16-0 looking at it.
I mean you live with the Thunder running their offense through Dion Waiters, same with the Warriors/ Barnes, Clippers/Jamal, Cavs/JR tbh...
This.
Agree, I thought Parker did a good enough job on offense to win. Blame Parker getting destroyed on Pop than Parker. Manu should of closed out the game tonight.
Tough to blame him for the defense, since he didn't lose his man or make the incorrect decision..he was just too small and doesn't have the lateral quickness..nothing he can do about that..
It's on the coach to make adjustments, but it's game 1 of the regular season, can't really expect Pop to care, at all(nor should he)..
1 man can only do so much for so many years. He's a hero just for continuing to go out there every night after everything he's done for his teammates. I don't blame his teammates, some guys just break easily.
That's why I always blame Pop before this washed-out player. But Tony definitely saying stuff to the staff to keep playing major minutes. I expect Patty mills minutes in the fourth to go up as the season goes along or we gonna lose again this year in the
playoffs.
s other people's wifes and gets called a hero.
Tony is greater than which of these: Gervin, Robinson, Duncan, Manu?
Not every team has WB to attack TP. It's not on him that WB played on of his best games. He was at the right spots but WB is like freaking Lebron for PGs.
I was happy with him overall and he actuall got to the rim a decent amount.
Parker s
There's NO reason to meltdown over this loss. Admittedly didn't watch the game due to the World Series, but we were up by 7 on the road against a le contender late in the 4th and Kawhi had the best regular season game of his career. I assume LMA's presence is spacing the floor for him to work? And Westbrook goes off on every one. Only way to stop him is hope he chucks himself out of rhythm, as he sometimes does. Not even worried about LMA's performance. He's a career 45% shooter against Ibaka.
He's a parker stan but he sounds decent so we don't need to go there.
Pop obviously didn't care too much..the Thunder started Roberson, one of the worst offensive players in the NBA, yet he had Parker on Westbrook, rather than hiding him..
I'd rather have patty down the stretch playing pesky annoying defense than Parker playing traffic cone D. Pops to chicken to bench Tony. Doesn't want to hurt his feelings
It was a good game, the result was better than expected IMO, despite having minimal chemistry..realistically, it should have been a 10+ point loss if Kawhi hadn't went into God mode on both ends..
I don't blame thie loss on T P, but please spare me this BS. He was never asked to carry an offensive load AND guard an MVP.
if he took the jumpers you'd say "lol porker jump shots"
Come on, now. Don't be ridiculous. Let's not start counting Euro stats
