    Parker looks like he is 45 years old out there. God-awful on both ends.

    No. We're both wrong. Parker sucks ass, as does the Committee.

    I'll take the L on Porker. Just step up and take the L on the Committee, bro. It won't hurt.

    I just said the third leading scorer will be by committee. I'm correct.

    You said we NEED Tony to be the turd option for us to win. You're wrong.

    I've also said it doesn't matter who steps up as the 3rd. I backed Tony because he was having a solid season until the last month or so.

    My point is that we NEED a SINGLE player as that 3rd option. Go back through NBA history, look at the stats on le teams, and you'll see there's typically a 3rd guy who averages 12 to 20 points. I don't think you understand how valuable it is for a team, from a psychology standpoint, to know they have a 3rd reliable scorer that can carry some load when the top 2 guys are off. You watched the Spurs employ this method for 4 le runs. Even that '03 team. It was Tim, Tony, Stephen Jackson. Here's where you bring up Speedy Claxton, but we lose to the Lakers if not for Tony. He also had a pretty good overall playoff run for being a 20 year old second year player.

    3rd guy by "committee" has never worked aside from 2014 Spurs (where the whole team was a committee). Someone in that locker needs to ball up and tell LMA and Kawhi, "I got this if you guys need it." Not this, uh, well tonight it's Manu, then it's Tim, then it's Patty. Like I always say, that whack-a-mole (credit DMC for that description) philosophy requires too many moving parts to be consistent.

    The Spurs are still by committee. Whether they win or lose.

    Letting Tony chuck is and never was the solution brah.

    And that's why the offense is so inconsistent. When you don't know who is going to be the 3rd guy any given night, it's about impossible to design an offensive gameplan. Think about peak big 3 Spurs. They knew that if Tim and Tony were facing pressure via doubles or packing the paint, they could run some Manu sets to open things back up. Or run Tony sets (when Tony was the 3rd).

    They can't do that anymore. If LMA and Kawhi are pressured, it's basically whack-a-mole time.

    Brah did you not see Tony last playoffs? And you TRIPLED DOWN this year on him. I'm glad you admitted you were wrong. I'm going to drop the "turd option" nick.

    How many times do I have to repeat myself? I don't care if it's Tony, Tim, Manu, Patty, or Uwe Blab. It just has to be someone.

    Last playoffs were irrelevant to how Tony was playing from November-January. He looked good, averaging about 14 points on 51% shooting, so I thought he was back, and figured he was just injured last playoffs. Guess he wasn't. Fallen off a cliff. Now we're back to where we started. LMA and Kawhi doing everything on offense while the role players can't hit the in' barn.

    Your Tony hatred is again blinding you. You thought me backing Tony=me being a fanboy. I just backed him because he was the only consistent double-digit scorer on the team aside from the Big 2. I'd LOVE it to be Manu or Tim, but I have my doubts they can perform at their age. So we're left with whack-a-mole. Sorry, bud, that philosophy isn't going to work. Like I said, we need someone to text LMA and Kawhi and say, "I got you."

    And you keep saying the committee. At least I recognize every player on this team is offensive garbage aside from the top 2.

    Oh well, when I collect 200.00, I'll rub in how in' ludicrous supporting a 3rd guy by committee idea was.

    Retort? I'm just emphasizing that I'm right. Committee idea is flawed. Yes, I was wrong about Tony, but I'm right about whack-a-mole. Ain't gonna work.

    I guess I disagree, because I think a former big gun has one left in him, so now, I suppose, I'm backing Manu.

    Or maybe Boris will come out of nowhere. But I do think that 3rd guy has to be a perimeter player to relieve all the pressure Kawhi will get.

    He plays mostly with the bench and doesn't take away from LMA and Kawhi and can hit the triple if he wants.

    I think Pop might start him. Maybe not in game 1 of that potential series, but if the Spurs get blown out, I think he starts Boris game 2 and on.

    Also, Boris can conceivably punish the Warriors with his passing when they swarm, like he did to Miami, who employed a similar swarm defense. Green and Patty will need to hit those looks that Boris generates, though.

    Boris is going to be the third option agaunst the warriors. Its pretty evident. When he started, he was the third option.

    Hopefully that fatass can recover in time..

    I think Tim is always gonna start. You have to understand that there is too much synergy that gets lost playing other players out of their position.
