Everything on this board is subjective, even your point. Maybe pop tells him, lay your ass down so the refs know you got fouled. Seems ridiculous but nobody on this board actually knows. It's all a ST problem.
OP a got.

DAT 3RD SCORER WITH A SOLID 4 POINTS LAST NIGHT.
Exactly, but his point is that Parker is still more reliable and a threat with the ball than Manu (at this stage of his career) and Patty Mills.
Tony had a terrible stat line last night, but he deferred to teammates, didn't force the issue and wasn't a complete liability on defense.
Now, we still need points from him - 10 to 15 a night - because otherwise that is another player the defense can ignore, but overall I was glad he took a backseat to Kawhi and LaMarcus. He can't go three quarters without scoring in the playoffs, though. He needs to find that happy middle ground.
Excuse me, but Patty isn't anywhere near a "natural" PG either. He has had just as many lapses of "selfish" play and "shot jacking" as Parker, but he has the benefit of playing most of his minutes with Manu. Manu, or even Kyle Anderson of late, has the burden of playing "PG" when on the floor with Patty.
Miller is at best a situational option for backup when Patty is getting lit up by his matchup. He is a much, much better distributor and creator than Patty or Tony, but his age won't allow him to have a bigger role.
that's what i want and i hope i get it. spurs 7-0 without parker this year.
No your "comes off as" is an ST problem.
Dont overstate my post.
you think this gets us through the playoffs ...
Sure thing.
I don't care who is on the floor if we win a championship. I just watch the games and realize Patty at point ain't gonna get it done alone. If Parker is injured right now and is out we are not going to win a championship IMO. I don't think this is the least bit unreasonable. I am also glad we have Patty to change the pace and energy of the game and hit those 3s.
its a team...
OP is one of the brightest minds on this forum
Definitely think Tony should be scoring more than 0 through 3 Q. It's a difficult balance bc he didn't have an advantageous matchup in any way. We have to remember Pop is still testing things and guys out and he took the ball from Tony to get more out of Kawhi. Tony had his moments and frankly he got into the paint and dished all night. The problem is that all the shooters were cold and Timmy guarded by Adams or Ibaka close to the paint were not conducive to him looking for shots in the paint. It was probably the kind of game that called for deferral.
I think what is clear is that Tony is the most likely guy to be a 3rd option but he can't be consistent at it. Danny slumping complicates matters and TD decline in the paint is also an alarm. The SL is a 2 man show with some roleplayers there. The most likely to be able to give you scoring and move the ball if options 1 and 2 are doubled and neutralized is Tony.

You overstated mine. It's all subjective period.
"I always try to find a happy balance between passing and scoring," Parker said. "Especially now with LaMarcus and Kawhi, sometimes I forget to be aggressive and look for my shot. I will try to do better and keep improving on that."
Um, that's because Kawhi was guarding Westbrook most of the game and down the stretch while Parker was hiding on Roberson. It's tough to guard Westbrook, he is high energy for 48 minutes and whoever takes that challenge gets a lot of credit. Parker was getting posted up by Westbrook when they had the mismatch. I get that he deferred but that's because he looked uncomfortable most of the game, when he misses shots he gets down on himself.
2 for 8 tonight
OP doubled down on his ty take.
how does anyone disagree with this? you let your best players feast.
OP doubled down on his ty take.Believing 87 points is going to be enough.
so parker being 2 for 8 as our third scorer will be enough?
"Just STAHP"
eat mid. you can hide as long as you want but this won't escape you.
Spurs beat the Worriers with LMAlpha as the first option. Predictable, tbh..
stfu and gtfo tbh. this isn't about kawhi vs lma. read the le of the thread you stupid piece of .
Just stating a fact .
first option LMAlpha, second Kiwi, third Parker
our first/second option is interchangeable. i have no problem with who outta the two takes over offensively, they are the spurs' best players.
you wanting parker to be relevant is on you.
