Making Eva Smile; Parker pours in 55 for Spurs

Tony Parker scored a career-high 55 points in Wednesday's double overtime win over the T'Wolves. Parker connected on 22 of 36 field goal attempts and added 10 assists. The Spurs entered the game winless, losing their first three games this season and without Manu Ginobili. Parker has played some shooting guard this season in effort to generate more offense with Roger Mason Jr. getting minutes at the point. Wolfman/Head Coach Gregg Popovich will need to work miracles to keep the Spurs in the playoff picture this season. Michael Finley has been the third option offensively--Gasp! The Spurs would greatly benefit from a trade, perhaps swapping draft picks for an experienced swingman. Chicago Bulls F Andres Nocioni and Clippers G Cuttino Mobley could be on the move by mid-season, and would fit in nicely with the Spurs. Parker's performance was a surprise, but his offensive explosions may continue during Ginobili's absence.
