Which player's absence would cause the Spurs to suffer more........?

A.Tony Parker
B.Manu Ginobili

wow I would say Ginobili , but it would be a tough call either way.

Ginobili...

..hands down.

My opinion is that Ginobili would be less effective without Parker's speed, quickness, and penetration. So I have to say Parker......

I think that is beneficial to a perimeter player like Barry and Bowen, but it doesn't benefit Ginobli in any way. Ginobli creates his own shots and penetration.

I'd say Ginobli hands down.

Can't put a price on heart...

Ginobili plays with far greater intensity!

He is San Antonio's spark-plug.

...just the other night Pop' was yellin' at Parker to " WAKE UP! " lol

Before I would have said Parker.

But you just can't dispute the offense that Ginobili is giving them. Reminds me of Vinny 'the microwave' Jhonson becuase he comes off the bench and heats up in an instant.

Manu is a much better player than Parker. Until Parker can score consistantly outside he's not going to be a premeire player.

When Parker plays well and contributes scoring and defense the Spurs are tough to beat. He just runs so cold sometimes he beats them by himself.

Looks as if I'm the only one who believes Parker makes a bigger difference.
It's really a tough call, but I just feel the Spurs would suffer much more in the long run without Parker rather than Ginobili. No doubt they both play an important role. No doubt, Manu, Tony, and Timmy combine to be the core......
