That's what im sayin, give him the ing ball.
He doesn't shoot that much.
I think Manu has eveolved into the better scorer and his play ought to be recognized as the legit. 2nd option. Parker will eventually become a 20 a night guy, but manu could easily average that now, give manu the damn ball.

i had a feeling this thread would be more appealin to argentinian posters
what does tp being from france have to do with anything?
tp is currently shooting 57%
TP is damn good.
You guys remember what he did in the play offs, he was on fire.
Manu. I'm still high on his Olympic performance and highlight reel dunks and passes, slump or no slump. The man is a stud and must become the obvious second option here. Tony needs to focus on passing the rock and getting into the paint.
What is up with all these Manu vs Tony threads? You guys realize that they are both on the same team, and play different positions and therefore don't have to compete for minutes right?
As for the second option, there's not going to be a consistent, one way answer to that question. The simple answer is that NEITHER are consistent enough to be considered for that role day in and day out. It all depends on which of them is having a better game that night, and Pop calling a play for him.
hightlight reel dunks are nice but they do not win games
^^^ I agree.... this will also depend on the matchup problems that the opposing team will pose.
I agree ,
that's what i was thinking.
Whats up with this, manu vs tony, manu vs frenchie stuff?
They are both Spurs, and they are both on their way to another NBA Championship.
I remember someone saying how the NBA is an individual game, and i totally agree.
Football, hockey, baseball, they all are sports where the fans only care about the team winning, but in the NBA, we view everything individually.
Tony and Manu are on the same team.
Even if one is better than the other, who cares.
the frenchie was a joke but seriously i think we ought to make manu the number two option and that is beacause Tony ought to be a passing guard who creates and can score, not a Stephon Marbury type guard that scores but passes, uh, not so much. He needs to be a stronger playmaker but has never averaged 6 assists, something the spurs need to work on
TP and Manu should've been traded for Vince Carter.

Both have shown the ability to take over games.
Both are inconsistent.
Neither has taken the 2nd scoring option le decisively, however much the fans that favor either player would argue to the contrary.
Don't fool yourselves, Manu fans; though he has had streaks of brilliance, he is not a franchise player. If he was, he would have continued to average 20 ppg.
He hasn't.
And its not the fault of the offense, I don't want to hear that. He is a well rounded player, who COULD average 20 a game, but if he did we would not be more successful than we are now.
Same with Parker.
Our team is successful right now because we have scoring options. Whichever are playing well that night, and whichever he defense allows, we use; Duncan is the only part of the offense that we (realistically) cannot do without on a regular basis.
I am serious.
Duncan + Carter = Dynasty.
Duncan + Manu + Parker = 0fer vs. Seattle, not good enought to beat Toronto, and 4 and out vs. the Lakers.
Unload em.
Duncan and Carter is not better than Duncan and Manu + Tony.
you're saying you would rather have Carter than Manu & Tony?
Yes.
Carter = Allstar + Shoes + Apparel
Manu/Parker = Inconsistent + Time Warner + Taco Cabana
Definitely.
another classic re ed Sequ comment.
Sequ you are the ball buster supreme.
My compliments
This is really a stupid thread agreed. TD is the franchise player here. We dont need a consistent second scorer. come on there are a few guys on this team that can get us 20 points a night. TPark can do it. Manu can do it. Bowen has done it before. Brown has been bringing it. Even Rose can get us 20 a night. So why worry?
I dont really care about a second 20 point scorer. Id rather have 3 to 4 other 12 - 15 point scorers. I think this season will be something like this cause we are passing the ball really well as compared to previous years.
Oh btw, TD hasnt reached 20 points in the past 2 games and it has like never happened so doesnt that mean that we will lose? Hardly cause everyone can step up on any given night. Dont think we will have many nights when everyone is ice cold.
thank you
