Around the NBA - 2017 Round 2 Playoffs

Eh Curry had just as many shit games as he did good games in the 15 finals.
Regular season MVP, only to lose finals MVP to a bench player.
Parker doesn't get that kind of respect no, but Pop wouldn't allow Parker to go 2-15 in one game from three.
Think he'd either get benched after the 3rd brick, or the TV would pan to Pop going full WWE on Parker with a chair and telling him to go back to France.

Couple years ago Parker did get the the attention from defenses a #1 option on offense deserves though.

 

Yeah and in 2013, Tony Parker was an all star who averaged 20.3 ppg, 7.6 apg and had a PER of 23.0.

He'll turn 35 next week and isn't nearly the same player he was 4 years ago. This year, he averaged 10.1 ppg, 4.5 apg with a PER = 13.0.

But, he was having a good post season. So, losing him definitely hurts, even if he's not the player he once was.

Manu had a bit of a turn back the clock game the other night, but he's also gone scoreless five times in 11 play off games. The guy is almost 40 and looks like he's only good for one decent game per series.

Even if SAS gets past HOU, I really don't think they stand a chance against GWS. The Warriors just have too many weapons. They can have two, or even three, of their top players have an off night, and still beat you. The Spurs need to have Kawhi healthy and playing at his best to even take one game against the Warriors.

Yeah, four years ago Curry was a worse defender and Parker was a better offensive player. Four years is a long time.

 

Are they chanting "Fuck you Oubre"?

 

Something like that

 

Actually he make 1/4 as much a Joakim Noah, Joakim Noah.

Avery Bradley is one of my favorites in the NBA. I've had dreams about us getting him.

 

Are you dreams wet?

 

Bradley would be so nice on our team

 

Bradley is going to get PAID this off season. If his shoulder problems are behind him then he will be worth the contract he gets.

 

He is still under $8M contract for next season.

 

I thought he had a PO

 

Spotrac, Basketball Insiders and basketball-reference all list him as under contract (no player option) for 2017-18.

He doesn't. Going to get close to a max or even max in 2018 though. Boston will have both him and IT expiring that year, and they will probably draft a guard this season so I guess he (or IT) could go.

 

I don't know if you or "The Ringer" are aware of this, but Avery Bradley was not a free agent last year.

GS will be paying the piper in this summer, and Boston will the year after.

 

...Choke Harden hasn't even attempted a shot yet (about 3 mins into 2 qtr) LOL!

 

Watching at gym, I'm not saying he's on something. I'm saying he's playing like he's on something. It's incredible.

 

1-2 FG, 5 points and 5 TOV @ the half. Total no show.

Spurs missing Kawhi and Tony Parker, but up 19 on the road.

This is the difference between a Mike D'Antoni coached team and a Gregg Popovich coached team.

Honestly it is beyond me that Chandler Parsons isn't mentioned first whenever over paid players are brought up.
