How the mighty have fallen. I remember your schtick years ago used to be all pro-Tony.
Good to have you back, Sequ.
Is Tony retiring too? He is averaging 12 ppg, 4-5 assists, -0 steals and is only putting up good numbers after 5 days of rest. What is going on with him? After watching the first half against Indiana, I was really disappointed at the way he was running the offense. It was terrible. Also, Indiana did not respect his jump shot and he kept passing open shots only to penetrate and coming up empty and then finally twisting his ankle or hurting his little toe.. WTF?. He seems to be averaging good numbers from the three point line but is passing open numerous attempts only to run his own offense whatever that is...
He missed the game last night and the oldest man in the NBA Andre Miller ran the offense like a Champ even without Manu and Tim there. I saw a championship team last night.

I think he is done...maybe Pop sits him out a month but Pop needs to pull the trigger on someone else if he starts this crap again...
thanks hf!
Tony retire...he will get paid like $14MM next season. He will not leave that on the table. But that is way more money than a second unit PG is worth. So the question is what will PATFO do.
This should be Tony's last year as a starter but if he can get some off days and split his minutes with Miller we've still got a shot at the NBA Finals
Tonys terrible contract will have him with us for a while more tbh
He had a stretch where he didn't look broken but after that was all downhill. Injuries killed his confidence probably. Hope he can get his together before playoffs because he was looking good couple of months earlier
He's a lot smarter than he used to be, but his body is betraying him. Sucks, tbh
The dude wants to play 20 seasons even if it means cuckin' the franchise like Kirby, I just hope his achilles completely blows up when he plays for France & is forced to retire like Nash.
TP ain't right. That's for sure. Maybe he needs to take PTO and go over to Germany and get that Orthokine treatment where they draw his blood, spin it, reintroduce it to energize him for his osteoarthritis.
This would work for me. But he does need to sit for at least a couple of weeks right now. Problem is, the upcoming schedule is a bear so he will likely play. Probably won't play well, though.
I don't take too much from Miller's performance last night - he knew the team we were playing extremely well, and with all the iso's for Kawhi and Leonard the Spurs sets are unnecessary, but I fear that he will get exposed in short order if we try to start him against the better teams we have upcoming. Think Manu's first game back and then the second one.
Against Minnesota? That further bolsters your argument all right
Him and Pop carried the Spurs on their backs from 2007 to 2014
You cant expect him to do it forever
Parker's only 33, he's got at least another 5-7 years depending on how long he wants to stay, Pop ain't cutting his ass (look at Bonner). You think he's declining now, just imagine what he'll look like in 2019 still starting...
Parker will be 35 by next years playoffs
I don't think he is playing his best. Coasting...let's hope he can turn it on and have something in his tank for when it really matters.
ZERO championship banners when Porky led the team in Win-Shares.![]()
Pop has always been a ride with my guys kinda guy (see Manu 2013 & Parker 2014). But with Kawhis growth and then landing our first true big FA in LA, does he now owe it to those two guys to do what's best for the team in the playoffs? Or will he still stick with Manu and TP if they are clearly struggling in a series even to the detriment of the team?
I love it when people that didn't watch the spurs repeat they hear other people say. Way to go Frankie
5-7 years?He doesn't look like he has 5-7 months left
Parker will spend the rest of his NBA years putting up pedestrian efforts. He's set. No need to keep pounding a rock he's broken through 4 times already.
I hope the Spurs don't offer him another contract after the current end
He's coasting and he has been given the green light to coast.
He just needs to keep healthy come playoff time. Spurs will need him to win the championship.
Miller (39 years old) was brought in so Spurs can have an additional point guard so Tony can rest.
That stretch was a short period right before the All Star reserves were announced, I believe.
He has good games here and there, but for sure age is catching up with him. Maybe some rest here and there and limited minutes can help him out.
