Nah. Patty too good.
Just 3 1/2 years ago.. this guy was a MVP candidate.
Now he's not even a top 50 PG.. ranking 59 in PER for PGs so far this year.
And this guy wants to play for the Spurs til he's 40? Parker might be the worst PG on the entire roster at 34 years old tbh..
So I ask the question, will he finish the season as the starting PG?
Nah. Patty too good.
Yes he will. He's been slow out of the gates the last 4-5 years it seems, this year is no different. He'll improve, and once Green gets back and the spacing improves, he can do more corner 3 shooting with Kawhi handling the rock more
He's just struggling to find his place on in the team. Plus we need Patty coming off the bench with the 2nd unit. The 2nd unit I feel is why we an will continue to win gms..
And way too early to start using PER. Isaiah Canaan and JJ Barea are both above Steph Curry.
Give it a couple months, numbers are just not going to reflect much this early imo
I can understand losing that burst to get to the paint. But his jump shot has zero lift and falls flat. Can't be the interior scorer he once was, Can't be the efficient mid range guy he once was. Never was an assist guy...Not the leader of the team....what exactly is here starting for?
Hopefully for the Spurs and him... no
Yea, Patty off the bench with that group is a great fit. With him Manu/Dedmon/Lee/Simmons (?) , that group is feisty, hustles, and is very scrappy . It's nice having a change of pace between the 2 units.
I really think once the spacing improves, Parker will do better. He can stand in the corner more, and he'll have more driving lanes. He's not hurting the team that much either. His shot is off, but he's getting good looks. Which again goes to what I said, he's a notorious slow starter to the season.
Didn't recognize you with that avatar
Does OP still want to blow it all up?
sup bra

Watch all games man, pretty epic stretches during crunch time moments. And of course that warriors rape.sup bra

If he does I fear we it will not be in the finals unless KL goes close to full Jordan. Or the rest of the West has significant injuries.
He was actually better to start the season the last couple of years. Hence the November Parker shtick.
I've hated on Parker the last couple of seasons but it's sad to see how much he's declined. I agree with you though that he will start all year. Bigger question is does the FO forget about loyalty and look to dump him in the offseason if he really is done.
If the Spurs continue to win with TP starting, I don't see Pop making changes. Especially if the bench unit is clicking at the same time.
This and his style of play just sucks more in the bench
TP is just a useless worm
even I can contribute more than him
Those threads are golden man. Keep it up
I recorded the warriors game, will watch this week for sure
have fun bro
The Spurs won't get far in the playoffs with Parker starting at PG. That's a fact.
I think he will if we keep "winning" (55-60 range) in spite of his vomit-inducing play. But this year he is going to have the best seats in the building for last 5 minutes of every close game. (he did for the last 10 of Heat's game
a ridiculous fall-off, probably even worse than Iverson's at this point..

Maybe all the Olympic stuff is catching up to him. I remember when he took the summer off, he came back looking a bit more spry. So having played in the summer this last summer could be a factor into his sluggish start. It happened with Manu too, whenever they took the summer off it was very noticable.
I just say give him 2-3 months , and allow Pop to rest him some more. The biggest thing is his shot isn't dropping, even his tear drop is off. That seems to me like he hasn't gotten his legs under him, which is very common for vets this early.
I don't see the FO dumping him either. His minutes will just decrease I'm guessing. The Spurs have always been loyal and dedicated. Unless TP suggests it, I don't see it happening
Been busy with work so far this season. Has Tony been as bad as his stats tell me?
5ppg, 3apg, 26%FG, 3.48PER, WOW!
Mills on the other hand
13ppg, 3apg, 51%FG, 59%3PTFG, 25.8PER
It's only been 4 games but what the ?
At least he's on a reasonable extension.
