I've rarely seen one player cost his team the game down the stretch in the Finals like that. It has to be killing him. You could tell that Pop and his teammates were shocked at what he did out there.

The Spurs floor spacing in crunch time these past two games was a joke. I'm sure that Parker's injury played into that, being that he was having great difficulty getting to his spots late in the game.

Parker was clearly not 100% these last few games. If he was, there would be no Game 7. He was even more of a defensive liability than he usually is. They were defending Lebron in the middle high screen and roll by running Parker at him as soon as he moved inside of the wing, and instead of getting to his spot, Parker would just throw a shoulder into the freight train that is Lebron James, get bounced out of the way, and put Leonard in a terrible position of having to choose between Lebron up high or letting the screener blow past him backside. It worked all night long. They were getting many of their most important buckets off of that play or in the resulting breakdown in defensive rotations on the backside of the play, leaving wide open looks for Heat shooters.

Some of his turnovers this series were Mayo-esque.
