Parker isn't a cancer, but I think his impressive scoring ability in the paint can inflate in our minds how much he helps his team. In my opinion, he's a distant third in value to the Spurs, behind Duncan and Ginobili. If they had Ginobili to start the season instead of Parker, there's no way they would have gotten off to that horrendous start.
???????? Tonight will be a good chance for T-Mac to focus all attention on his body parts and subtle grimaces. I predict he will be well enough to play, but hurt enough to make heroic any number of minutes he plays. I further predict: second quarter, T-Mac gets a boo boo; we all hold our breaths; T-Mac goes to the bench/locker room for a while; comes back heroically; jacks shots with reckless abandon in fourth quarter because we are behind; we lose because we're trying to play with an 80% T-Mac but he's only a 60% T-Mac; T-Mac says in his own mind to Rox players and fans "See how much you need me to be like Goldilocks' porridge juuuuuust right?"
Can we please ban people like this? I mean, people like him are a cancer to this forum. Rockets by 5 tonight. Lets do it!
its actually good that they got parker and manu back because they have chemistry problems now with mason and hill and besides parker and manu are playing limited minutes so that makes the issue worse for the young players. As for the rockets, they are doing pretty well top of division top 4 in the west by subing different players in and out every game and haven't see once the big 3 click together yet.
