I know the sample is too small

Theo Ratliff ranked 2nd in BLKP48M this season so far. And I recall some one mentioned Ratliff's BLKP48M stats in the summer when Spurs signed him so it is good to see him keep it up.

[TIMMYD!]

Has Dwight Howard lost his touch? He's just below Tim.

[SA210]

It's an emabarassment that Tim is #38, and it's his pure laziness and him not being hungry anymore. Save me the excuses about his knees and ankles.

He should still be top 5 easily.

:wtf

I hope you're not serious.

Two facts to put the numbers in context.

First, when you use the "qualified" filter to eliminate those not playing enough minutes to eventually qualify at the end of the year, Tim is 12th on the list.

Second, for his career, Tim averages 3.06 blocks per 48M. He is currently averaging 2.67 per 48. Hardly a dramatic decrease.

Simple trivia question : when was the last time Timmy was top 5?

However, it is also fair to say that Duncan's interior defense at this point just isn't what it used to be, regardless of the block numbers.

[HarlemHeat37]

Obviously it isn't what it used to be, he's getting old..he's still a very good interior defender though, as he's shown the last few games..it's a lot different defending when you're alone, compared to when you have guys like Hill, Bogans, McDyess, and Ratliff around you, as opposed to Mason and Finley..Duncan can no longer carry a defense, obviously..

I don't think SA210 can make a logical thought if Bruce Bowen's name isn't involved..

Let me guess, if Bowen was still playing for the Spurs somehow Duncan would be #1 at blocks?

i wish duncan would start using HGH

And he should be higher.

That's my point.

[Mel_13]

And he should be higher.

So you actually believe Duncan doesn't try hard enough.

:rolleyes

[SA210]

Yes. He has spurts, but gets lazy a lot.

[Blackjack]

Duncan's a bum; hopefully Gadzuric takes it easy on him..

[Mel_13]

Yes. He has spurts, but gets lazy a lot.

How much pleasure/entertainment can you get from watching your favorite team if you believe the franchise player is dogging it? Seems kind of masochistic to me.
