It's amazing how we can be a TEAM with this roster.That's why TD is the only MVP of this team,maybe the only real MVP of the NBA

Indeed. But I am afraid we play TD too much, clearly out of necessity. Pray that TD keeps his health when Manu and Tony return.

That block on Brooks was fucking SWEET!!!

TD was +14 tonight

if TD were play the whole 4 quarter against the Bucks We were winning them too

As long as Duncan stays healthy he can keep us in the hunt even with a rag-tag supporting cast until Manu and Parker get back. Never under-estimate Duncan and his desire to win.

I would give him 2 or more weks to rest when TP and Manu return but obviously we can't do it if we want to be in the playoffs because he is the San Antonio Spurs

This is why you treasure every game you watch when he plays cause your seeing a legend play every night.

I agree, but TD could sure use another running partner on the frontline. From his occasional demeanor, I almost get the sense that he's somewhat frustrated having to carry the load.

I see that too. And I'm frustrated for him, and for us as fans. I'd like to see him gather more rings before he's done and he needs help to do that. But he will continue to give it his all regardless of the circumstances. It bothers me when I see Duncan's name and the words "loser" and "quitter" in the same sentence. He's never given us reason to think he gives anything less than his all every night. And his all is usually pretty damn good. :)

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan is one of the biggest competitors in the NBA..he's as competitive as anybody..he obviously gets frustrated by mistakes, and that's what we'll have to get used to with the young players and inexperienced players..that doesn't excuse him though, as he has made some serious mistakes as well..

it would have been interesting to see if Pop had brought Tim in the game earlier vs. Milwaukee..

It's these types of games where I feel for TD. Going against Yao on both ends is no picnic. In previous seasons, the Spurs had either D-Rob, Rasho or some other big with some size to handle the bigger 5's in the NBA. Thereby, Duncan was afforded the luxury of conserving his energy and fouls for the other end.

As Tim has gotten older, his frontline support has gotten progressively worse. Oberto and KT are virtually useless in a game like this - KT especially. He looks like Horry did last seasons.

Shame on the FO for this. I wonder if TD be better off with a guy like Watkins at his side?

The rebounds are only one part of the story. There's more to it.

From the Express-News:


Tim Duncan had a dominating defensive effort down the stretch as he seemingly willed the Spurs to a come-from-behind 77-75 victory over the Houston Rockets. The Spurs never led in the second half until the final minute of the game.

What matters tonight is the win.

Duncan's play at the end gave us a win that few thought we'd get.

I'm not thrilled with his rebounding numbers, my only guess is that with trying to cover the offense we're missing from Manu and now Parker, maybe he's trying to stay out of foul trouble so he can stay on the court.

BTW, what the hell was Bruce doing on that play? Landry picked off Hill and Bruce was trapped in no-man's land (see the first couple of caps). If Brooks had scored, it would have been mostly Bruce's fault.

Yeah, I just watched the replay. Looks like Bowen shifted over to double TMac but then lost sight of the switch he had to make. That Landry pick was the mother of all moving picks. Bowen looked around trying to find where Hill was :lol

Thankfully Brooks didn't take that jumper and instead took it all the way to the rim.

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, the moving pick was brutal. But no way they were going to make that call in that situation in favor of a rookie. Maybe if Landry had decapitated him.

[SpurSupremacist]

Duncan won them the game and all, but why has Duncan been so poor on the glass the past 2 games? At around 7', with the minutes he plays, you can have 5 rebounds basically fall into your lap. Reason I ask is, dishnetwork is still at odds with the NBA over league pass and I couldn't see the past 2 games.

With no Tony and no Manu, Tim has to carry a lot more weight on the offensive end. The more energy he has to expend on scoring, the less he has for defense and defensive rebounds. And the more shots he takes, the less chance he has of getting offensive rebounds.

He's only human, so if he has to up his scoring from 19pts a game to 29pts a game, you can't expect him to be pulling down his typical number of boards.

I don't necessarily agree with that, particularly the comment of shooting so he can't get the offensive rebound. When you shoot from the post, you have a great chance of getting the offensive rebound, because you know where the shot is likely to come off at. I agree expending more energy on offense will hurt his total, but 5 rebounds 2 nights in a row? 5...

Also, didn't Bogut have like 8 offensive rebounds last game?

[Blackjack]

Some of the lack of rebounding is on Tim, but you've also got to consider that with no Tony or Manu he's playing in a lot more traffic.

Teams are able to really concentrate on taking away Tim's offensive boards, and defensively he's had to concentrate more on blocking out (allowing the wings to board) in an attempt to gang-rebound as a team to make up for there lack of quality rebounders on the front-line.

There's a rhythym to rebounding like anything else, which Duncan seems to have lost the last couple of games, but don't expect it to last all that long.

What can you really say about Tim Duncan that hasn’t already been said? He provides the leadership on this team. He is the center of the program. The confidence he shows and put in these guys creates an environment where they can succeed. He pumps them up and encourages them. That confidence shows up in the results.

Solution: Trade Tony Parker for Andris Biedrins + Kelenna Azubuike ( I checked, the salaries do match up nicely)

Biedrins and Duncan would be a great rebounding frontline, and you add in Azubuike and no more would teams be outrebounding us or getting so many second chance points. =)

That is an absolutely gorgeous wallpaper d228. I was at the movies listening to the game in the car and when Tim gets that block I started jumping up and down and people thought I was losing my mind, but it was worth it.

TD is one of the greats. Night in and night out he comes to play and he comes to win. That's all there is to it. He just wins and I hope we can help him win a few more rings because I NEED him to win more than Shaq.

Do that trade but also Ginobili for Camby. With a Duncan/Camby/Biedrins/Oberto/KT starting 5, we would grab 100% of the available rebounds.

Well,I'm not sure if we can win another tittle in 2009 only with the big3.Last year we have a lot of problems in the playoffs and this year could be even more difficult.
IMO we could have more chances if we trade Parker for 1 PG and one good center.I say Tony because we can get better players for Tony than for Manu.
