This is on Pop. He has to get the ball in Kawhi's hands when it counts. No more ing around...And get Mike Conley's agent on the phone....
Yep. Agree completely. Parker has said all the right things, but his play says otherwise. He still believes he should be the go to guy.
Parker said he wants to play 20 years in the league.
Meaning we have five more seasons to enjoy this guy.
This would be a good article last year
this year he hasn't been over participative or detrimental at all
that last play last game he gave the ball to aldrige, who refused to post up Kancer on the bonus, gave the ball back to porker at 10 seconds, so he took the open midranger..
Parker leads the team in assists and has been taking very few shots in playoffs. Author probably never seen a spurs game before until Tuesday night.
It would help if Kawhi would stop passing back to him with 5 seconds on the shot clock because Kawhi isn't a creator, and often finds himself with the ball in one hand and the thumb on his other hand stuck up his ass. PArker missed shots and opportunities, but he gave the ball up on at least on of those, and The New Face Of The Franchise didn't want to have anything to do with trying to win the game for us. Hot potato...take the ball back please.
well he's the starting pg so it's the least he could doonly averaging 5.6 in the 2016 playoffs so far.
Like Westbrook has to be himself. Parker has to be himself.
Forget the media, magazines and newspapers. Go do your thing Tony.
Good thing Parker is smart enough not to listen to this rubbish. He will be himself.

END OF 4TH QUARTER
Kawhi needs to be taking the clutch shots now. It's his time.
Already said it a few times in diff threads, but on that last meaningful play at least, there wasn't much time. OKC denied Leonard the ball, so Parker got a pretty good look at a shot he's made a living off of.
Considering Parker has been hitting shots the last few games, I don't think it's that bad. The only other thing that could've happened is once Lamarcus saw Kawhi couldn't get free, maybe back down Kanter instead of going out to the 3 point line, in no mans land. But he was so off that game, maybe he didn't want the shot.
Great post. Some other poster posted a printout of each play indicating Parker taking the shot but that particularly play show how the spurs tried to run a two plays for Kawhi and neither worked. Parker was forced to take the shot. BTW. Parkers shot wasn't a bad look either. Just didn't go in.
I don't know, it's not like Parker took 20 shots. And as others have already pointed out, on the last possession, he tried to set up a play that would or could have led to a shot for either Aldridge or Kawhi. It didn't work out, so he took the shot himself. It was a decent enough look, I just wish that the Spurs in general would be sharper and quicker in getting into their plays. Too often the shot clock is down to 10 seconds before they have done anything promising with the possession.
No, no, no, we must stick with the narrative that Parker is to blame. Gotta put up the play-by-play with no context of shot clock, players on the floor, et cetera to help emphasis that he lost the game!
Parker is to blame for everything wrong with the Spurs, not Timmy/Manu being too old, David West being too small or Kyle Anderson being too ty. Nope, not any of those things because it's all Parker's fault.
What a pathetic video
So Russ didn't up on defense by allowing a wide open layup and its supposed to be an amazing play?
He's known to ball-watch so I guess by his standards it is lol.. I mean, remember this? (watch Westbrook)What a pathetic video
So Russ didn't up on defense by allowing a wide open layup and its supposed to be an amazing play?
I haven't seen the Spurs run that with LMA yet, so it was interesting. It's usually Timmy throwing it to Manu on the back cut.
OKC wants Parker to be a scorer rather than a facilitator. Look at every game besides game 1. He was scoring more and it benefited the Thunder because he wasn't breaking down the defense or driving and kicking out to Danny or Kawhi.
When Aldridge got the ball, Parker sets a screen on WB, Kawhi pops to the 3pt line and gets the ball. Not rocket science
Durant was Guarding Parker.... Probably for that reason, so he could switch off if that happened. You can tell the backup plan was a screen by Duncan to get Adams on Parker, as he immediately runs over when the play falls apart.
You can say it's not rocket science, but I would bet OKC would have switched and had Durant switch to Kawhi. So I don't see how he could've gotten a better shot than Parker did, creating space against Adams like he did. Kawhi again in the 4th, seemed tired.
That shot was a contested 2 pter. The shot OKC wanted over everything else. There was no second denial by russ. Kawhi was coming out top, and Parker faked the pass to him and took off, he knew what he wanted to do before the play ever developed. This is why he does very little for long stretches of time on offense. He has little developmental skills or patience.
Kawhi should have got that ball, LMA set him up twice to get it. Everyone knew it should go to Kawhi, even Parker. When you're purposely going against the gameplan foe your own wishes, you're detrimental to the team. A pg like that has never been successful. Only play making pgs have been, or playing next to a play making sg. Time to replace him, if you want to keep the team chemistry right. You can't expect your superstars to be humble and enforce a team mindset when your player past his prime won't let go.
Kawhi should have been more vocal about it as well. He needs to tell Tony his place tbh. If he can't, he isn't ready to lead. We will see what Kawhi made of tonight. I expect a strong game.
