Is it gonna be the "The Tim Duncan Show"

[The Tim Duncan show]

Or is he past his prime....i know he is putting up great numbers, but can he carry the team...

[xtremesteven33]

not like he used to....sad to say

I wish we still had the old timmy, who wasnt afraid of getting his shot blocked, i think his fall on the little athleticism he had came when he hurt his ankle in 2005 in detroit, he was never the same after that, before he use two have some dunks or highlights, but he became conservative after that, not jumping, may be has a fear of stepping on someones foot again and spraining his ankle, just my opinion, i might be wrong....

If his teammates are unable to pass him the ball with a Udonis Haslem fronting him, then no, its going to be the spurs being blown out show night in and night out.

If he can get the ball 50% of the possessions hes meant to, we still lose by 10.

This might not be pretty. Good. All you people complaining when we're fully and healthy and winning championships can officially eat shit.

[xtremesteven33]

ur right. he doesnt jump not cause he cannot, but because i think he holds back ALOT!!!

even in playoff games, Duncan plays not to get hurt. its sad cause he does have amazing footwork and speed for a big guy but if it wasnt for his past injuries that have put this cautiousness in him he would still be dominating.

Honestly no one on our team can pass the ball in the Fucking post, the only person who showed some balls was tolliver in the last game....

Yep Timmy is like that, he just cant phase somethings out his head, how he is still intemidated by shaq( Just my opnion), well who would'nt be.... i think the guy can still finsih at the rim if he wanted two, just two years ago he was a beast, he is only 32...come on...

Tim Duncan intimidated by Shaq????!!!!

other way around bro, Shaq is intimidadted by Duncan.

Without TP and Manu, Duncan will put up nice numbers, but they won't necessarely translate in wins

calling duncan228 in, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4...

[naico]

If people think TD is going to get his points easier, now that he's the main focus on the offensive end, there mistaking. It's going to be an easy decision double teaming him, now that parker and Manu aren't there.

:lol

For me, Duncan is not past his prime, there's no way he's intimidated by Shaq, and it's been the "Tim Duncan Show" since he first stepped on the court. His impact on this team and the game can never be completely accounted for in stats. Whether he scores 3 or 30 he'll do everything he can to try to get the win.

It couldn't be any worse than Magic Johnson's show was. Or the reruns of the Golden Girls that Spurs games are now resembling.

Duncan is obviously past his prime..he's still a top 5 player in the NBA, but he's no longer the best player in the league like he was in 2003, 2004 and 2005..if we had Duncan from those years, he could absolutely carry this team to the playoffs without Manu and Tony..but he's 32, what do you expect? every legend starts declining once they get older..

it doesn't mean that Tim can't still carry us for a stretch now though..still a dominant player..but this isn't an average supporting cast, this is a bad supporting cast he'll be working with..tough for a 32-year old..

[WildcardManu]

The Duncan Show from now until Tp and Manu return.

[TDfan2007]

He should dominate. But he's going to have to put up about 25 shots a game for us to even have a chance.

[Bender]

how many practices did the team have since the Miami game?

Not being the best player in the league means your past your prime? So players like Pau Gasol, Yao Ming or Baron Davis will never get to their prime because there will always be somebody better?

I agree 100% with this post.

huh? Duncan WAS the best player in the NBA during his prime, NOW he isn't..that means he declined..it wasn't because other players got better..a prime Duncan is better than anybody else in the NBA right now IMO..

btw, LOL @ Duncan being intimidated by Shaq..that's why he completely dominated him last year in the playoffs and in the first game this year..
