Another Milestone for Tim Duncan

[FromWayDowntown]

This is a minor point and it probably should just be brought up in another thread, but . . .

barring injury, by making an appearance in Games 1 and 2 of the 2010 WCSF against Phoenix, Tim Duncan, who has presently appeared in 166 playoff games, will move into the Top 20 All-Time in playoff games.

In the Dallas series, he passed Larry Bird (164) and Bill Russell (165). By appearing in Game 1 of the Suns series, Timmy will tie Sam Perkins at 167. By appearing in Game 2, he'll tie Michael Cooper for 20th all-time at 168. By appearing in the first 3 games of the WCSF, he'll move into an 18th place tie with Kevin McHale and Dennis Rodman.

With some good fortune in the next few weeks, he could approach Michael Jordan's career figure of 179 playoff games (15th all-time).

Only 3 active players have appeared in more playoff games: Shaquille O'Neal (208), Derek Fisher (181), and Kobe Bryant (180).

it would be nice to calculate the effectiveness rate of all those dividing their # of playoff games by games won and by rings taken.

Tim Duncan has 105 wins in 166 games, one of the best W/L records of all time in the playoffs. Jordan was 119-60 for example. Russell is about the same as Tim. I have calculated these numbersa before if someone wants to search this forum for them.

I wonder where Tim ranks of the win list? he must be getting close to the top 10.

After game 3 of the Phoenix series in 2008, Duncan was 94-47, and amazing 2/3 percentage that was slightly better than Jordan. Since then, he has dropped off. But maybe the revival starts now?

Tony Parker already has played 128 PO games and will soon be (only) 28... scary
