    He can't buy a jumpshot, so we're left with Chandler "Pump-Fake" Parsons.

    He does it when his man is 10 feet away from him.

    Basically makes me feel like he's about to turn it over every time he does that.

    Parsons needs his minutes cut. His shots haven't been falling and his defense is atrocious. He's also one of the biggest ballstoppers on this team.

    When defenders figure out that parsons shot is ****, he'll be worthless.

    Trade him.

    Doing those pumpfake every time is ruining his shoot rythem.
    We have to say Parsons' offseason was a failure

    They should trade Parsons for Shumpert right now. NY is looking to move him. Parsons suck. I always thought he's overrated...can't understand why McFail keep going to him multiple times at the end when you have Lin who is a better ball handler. Pretty lame coaching.

    and it's a continuos play like he doesn't even try it once or twice but lately every time he gets the ball. Usually that pump fake equals turnover or bad play. I was chatting while i was watching tonight's game and i commented every time he got the ball and sure enough it was a turnover or a bad play.

    Parsons should pump fake before he shoots his free throw. He's probably missing them because it's so unnatural for him to shoot with out pump faking once.

    He trusts Parsons more than he does Lin in end-game situations. Mchale straight up doesn't seem to trust Lin in crucial moments, and it's unwarranted when he's clearly your best playmaker AND shooter in the game.

    That being said, Shumpert is garbage.

    And i can't understand why Parsons shot the ball at the end of the game before the OT. That was such a bad shot he shot it inside and faded away. And still on over time he handle the ball instead of Lin and had some turnovers

    I'm glad I'm not the only one disappointed with Chandlers gam. I thought he was gonna improve from last season or at least get better on defense or his 3s less flat. None of those seem to have improve.

    Well that was Parsons main fault he pass the ball to Garcia after handling the ball and doing nothing with it.

    And Lin's fault coz he should have demanded the ball he was the only one hot. He has been the only one shooting well. Not Garcia, not Casspi, not even Pat especially not even Parsons. And Harden didn't play but hasn't shot that well either but ok

    Parsons is pump faking like crazy because he can't hit the bucket. Until he finds his shot, this is what he's going to do to create space to drive.

    Unfortunately, he's doing it WAY too much and McHale is still leaving him in the game.

    We can only hope that either Parsons finds his shot, or McHale changes his line ups so that he's in a more favorable position to drive.

    Not worried about Parsons shooting his back is probably still killing him.
