Parker is very capable today, Steve needs to do and prove something tomorrow, otherwise, he will be outplayed again by an (actually many) inferior PGs.
Parker plays in spurts. And he has the luxury to be able to do that because Tim Duncan takes care of business 99.9% of the time. Steve is expected to be 'on' all the time.. and Yao can't be expected to shoulder the load just yet.
Strange, I could have sworn Clutch sometimes started game threads before the actual day of the game. I was wrong, I guess.
If we get a real point guard and let Francis play shooting guard, he still can be "ON" all the time and other players in the team can play better too.
Parker is awesome. He isn't rated very high..... BUT HE IS ONLY LIKE 21 years old. And he is already running a team. But he's got Tim Duncan. So Yeah. Francis is better. But he better not let this kid get too confident...
