Last night's game from Parker was an example of how he needs to be that 3rd scorer

[pgardn]

You forgot to mention him only taking 2 shots and deferring (4 dimes), which is what you re s want from him.

You also forgot to mention crew favorites Danny, Patty House, and Manure going a combined 0 for in' 11 for 0 points.

Dont destroy their hatred for Parker.

Never mind, they won't understand the post

[RD2191]

he did allow around 15 on the other side tho. Good guy Tony.

These morons probably think I'm some great Parker fan, yet no one has criticized Parker more than me over years. , I started my Tony Parker is Not Clutch thread when these guys were probably still Parker fans.

I just see no alternative. Tonight's game is the "Committee" idea in practice, and we see the ty results. Danny Green can't score. "MVPatty" is a good game once every 5 games type of player, more inconsistent than Tony. Manu is a huge a wildcard. And Timmy isn't going to go 5-6 in a half very often.

It's Parker or bust. I don't like it, but I've come to accept it.

Spurs don't really need a consistent, designated 3rd option, tbh..

Kawhi and Aldridge are good enough to carry the load as a 1-2 punch..the peripheral scorers can be anybody else depending on the climate of the game, nobody is good enough to stand out as a 3rd guy..

Against every team in the league other than the Warriors, I agree. But my analysis really only considers Golden State. LMA's playoff history is still a worry, and Kawhi is not going to equalize Steph's production. So I ask, where's that scoring going to come from? Tony is the only consistent double-digit scorer on this team other than Leonard and LMA.

The "committee" idea requires too many moving parts, meaning 5-8 guys all need to play above par at the same time, which is why having 3 (or 4) consistent options you can count on works much better in the post-season, since role players are typically inconsistent.

I agree with you in theory that Parker being a reliable 3rd option would obviously make things a lot easier, we have seen how great the Spurs can look when Tony's penetration is getting deep and his J is going down..however, it's been evident since the calendar turned to 2016 that he's way too inconsistent, and as we have seen all season, his defense gets exploited against any competent offensive player..

The first Warriors game was troubling, as they clearly made it a purpose to attack him(and Patty), all night..I suspect there wasn't any game planning or strategy from Pop and the Spurs for that game, so I'll reserve judgment for March 19th..

[gambit1990]

patty should be starting.

[Robz4000]

3rd option is by committee imo.

[Robz4000]

Against the Dubs it'll prolly have to be Manu or Diaw tho for the Spurs to have any shot.

You have been playing in the basement for too long. You ask them who is going to take Parker's spot and they have no answer because there is not an answer. I don't like him that much either but we must have him.

Patty, Manu, who takes the bigger minutes at point? It's obvious. We may not like it but it's obvious.

Parker.

You have not a clue.

You want Patty to fail quite obviously.

Can we trade Parker for Joseph?

What about Parker for George Hill?

I'd do it

[ElNono]

can we get Paul George back?

[DPG21920]

We saw tonight (and lately) that this is a defensive team and TP can't be counted on to consistently be the 3rd guy. They will have to win with defense. The offense is generating some damn good looks - just have to hope DG/TP/Bench can score enough.

LMA/Kawhi are obviously going to have the burden, but they are still creating for everyone.

Parker mentally checks out like wide receiver not getting the ball thrown is way. He says the right things, but he just comes off unhappy if he ain't getting his.

Play Patty starting point for the rest of the season and into the playoffs. Then you will see.

You want to play a 2 at point guard and then judge stupid?
gfy

He comes off as...

This is part of the problem with this board.

When Parker falls down trying to draw a foul and grabs his round head leaving us to defend 4 on 5, that's a problem. When he comes off as... that's an ST problem...
