really hoping hachimura scores 40 points and the wizards win by 20+. maybe PATFO should’ve traded up
Very symbolic of how Tony carried the team for a decade. Can you imagine a Spurs team with Parker losing 6 in a row? Good thing Dejonte is back this season.

They actually did lose 6 in a row in 2011.
Who cares about facts? Let them have their narrative... The same Parker that was benched for speedy Claxton because he couldn't cut it in the finals
It's funny that you mentioned those Finals after I just watched Game 1 last night. That series is impossible to forget.
I still think Spurs have the personnel to win. Just stubborn Pop with insisting on Mills/Forbes/Beli.
lol true true
Mills should get the most minutes out of those three because he is playing well by his standards. But your overall point is so true. There is a good team in here but the starting lineup is a failure, and I mainly blame LMA and DD, and then Pop for not making adjustments when they are needed. The data is in Pop. Sample size isn’t small. Start Caroll. Something. Anything. Throw a dart on the wall. .
My bad...7
Lol benched. You realize there is such a thing as second string players right? It’s not like Claxton ever started in a game and it’s not like he ever played more minutes than Parker in a game. And obviously he didn’t even come close to his production.
2003 NBA Finals:
Parker - 14/4/3
Claxton - 6/2/1
I will admit that Claxton was almost half as productive as Parker those Finals.

Clearly it's a sign from the basketball gods that Porker wasn't good enough to warrant a jersey retirement.
It is pathetic that he ended his career on the Hornets while the other Spur legends(David, Tim, Manu) all retired on the team that drafted them. And all because Tony didn't want to come off the bench.
And he was wrong too, his career was indeed over.
Ya, I still can't believe he didn't take a mentor role with the Spurs at the end of the bench. He opted to join an East lottery team for a guaranteed rotation spot, only to ultimately get benched as the Hornets made their final attempt at a playoff run
There's also always going to be the possibility that he's the reason Kawhi killed the Spurs.
Lol, those guys were never 3rd stringers (especially to scrub PGs like Mills & Murray). I can understand Tim never going to the bench (even when he was pathetic in the playoffs his last season).
Even with the Hornets, Tony averaged 10/4/2 on 46% (on 17 MPG).
Manu couldn’t put up those numbers in any of his last 3 seasons with the Spurs, and played more minutes every time. But for some strange reason Pop wanted to put Tony on the end of the bench (or send him down to the D/G League again).
Stephen Jackson still hates that manwe called him Enrique for a reason
“I don’t have a reason to talk to Tony Parker and I don’t want to talk to Tony Parker,” Jackson said. “My beef with Tony Parker is a basketball beef. I didn’t like the teammate he was. Tony would look me off on purpose. I don’t want to disrespect him as a man but I had a problem with him on the court.”
I remember the OKC game that Jackson got mad at Parker for being selfish: 2012 G6. He was mad because Parker had 29 points.Stephen Jackson still hates that man
What everyone forgets is that Parker also had 12 assists. The second-most on the team was 2. Jackson had 1.
