I still don't think he gets all the praise he deserves for being this great.

TIMMYYYYY!!!!!!!

Please don't wear him out again..

Too bad Timmy sent Dirk packing last April again.

[sandman]

A quick look at what other big men averaged at age 34:

Hakeem = 17/10
Shaq = 17/7
DRob = 18/10
Ewing = 22/11 (this one surprised me, that he stayed at this level into his mid-30's, then crashed over a two year span)
Garnett = turned 34 at the end of last season, finished at 14/7

Considering that Duncan finished last year at 18/10 (very much DRob types of numbers) and was a 19.5/11 guy for the 5 years before that, it's not hard to imagine that he would be 20/10 guy this year. His game is not built for the over-the-cliff drop off that Shaq and Garnett took. His numbers seem like they will take more of a Ewing path.

Yep. He's still THAT nigga.

For real, nigga?

[NRHector]

Pop needs to be wise in managing Tim's minutes, he did get a lot of rest tonight and it paid off so if this is what is going to take for Timmy to play like tonight I'm all for it

Agreed. And after he's done soaking in NFL history, he should head over to Springfield to the NBA hall of fame.

[urunobili]

all day baby, all day...

[smrattler]

Tmmy has looked healthy and youthful every opening night for a while now. If only this was a lockout-shortened season...

[iminol]

Nobody noticed his FG percente? 10/12 is faking hilorious.

:lmao that nigga looms doing work on the innocent greynamed spurfan.

[TJastal]

I could probably shoot 10/12 against Josh McRoberts. Just sayin'..

[badfish22]

But Timmy did do some work today against the Pacers.

[TinTin]

I think someone else pointed this out too in the game thread about how duncan was selectively going in the post and balancing his mid range game. Now if splitter can join him then it is going to help a lot on his wear and tear

:huddle:

[crc21209]

TD was simply amazing tonight...I thought he was old and washed up media?

[duhoh]

i'd like to see that kinda night against a good team.

still has it though :tu

[Silver&Black]

TD is a beast........still.

[peskypesky]

it's just amazing what that guy can still do. after all that mileage? the long runs into the playoffs year after year after year. the dude still goes out there and racks up the points, the boards, the assists and the blocks and almost makes it look easy. i am just in awe.

[pawe]

Timmy doin work as usual.

[TD 21]

When he's healthy and rested, he's still the best big man in the game. If only the Spurs could somehow get him to the playoffs near the form he begins the season in.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Tim.

MutherFUCKING.

Duncan.

GOAT--all there really is to say. "Washed up" my ass.

Too bad Dirk has 'nothing to show for it', but this might be the year he gets to meet David Hasselhof and all those years of horrible, humiliating, failure after failure will be worth it for Herr Nowinski!!

He punched that ticket 5 years ago. I want him to be more of a legend/icon when he retires. Still underrated.

[ezau]

Greatest player of this decade. Goatpuff TD

[blkroadrunners]

Very, very efficient game for Duncan. He's still doing what he does best.

[Frenchise player]

He schooled Hibbert pretty bad in the low post and his mid range jumper looked fantastic. It's pretty clear that Pop is limiting his offensive touches so this is probably the most he could have scored.

[buttsR4rebounding]

Is the reason you must troll here is because there isn't a Mavs Board worth a pot to piss in?

[sa_butta]

I'm afraid he's just too damn old...he has lost a step...

Sleepers beware...Duncan is still Duncan!!!

[Josepatches_]

He played too many minutes... Save it for the playoff please.


First game of the season and it wasn't easy.We aren't that good to save players for the playoffs in October.

[TwelveGs210]

Agreed. And after he's done soaking in NFL history, he should head over to Springfield to the NBA hall of fame.

LMFAO @ that..owned

[z0sa]

Tim looked as good last night as I've seen him in 2 years. His willingness to shoot jumpers is an important step he's seemingly taken to save his body, which is fantastic. Let Beast and Splitter get beat up in the paint til later in the season.

Agreed. It's the natural evolution of his game. Grant Hill did it, McDyess did it, now Duncan looks to be doing it as well, except he doesn't NEED to because of injury, he is just a smart player who knows how to contribute in a big way, and use the least amount of energy in doing so. AWESOME. I feel honored to grow up and have watched the careers of the two greatest Spurs of all time, David Robinson, and now Tim Duncan. Not to mention, when it's all said and done, the best PG, and SG of Spurs history as well, no disrespect to Ice. Awesome start.

[hater]

yup dude is still our MVP

without him and Spurs get completely demolished

Let's just hope he lasts all season and playoffs

[phxspurfan]

Yessir. My almost all Spurs + Brook Lopez fantasy team is killing again this year. Highly unlikely win just like last year...Duncan Park/Ginobili this year will be solid...

[Kent_in_Atlanta]

May have lost a step, but he's still one of the best big men in the NBA. GM survey dropped him to 3rd this year at the PF position, behind Gasol & Dirk. They also ranked him at Center, and GM's said Duncan is the 2nd best Center in the league.

That means, that while he's no longer at his peak, he's still one of the top 4 big men in the NBA according to GM's.

I think he wore down a bit in the playoffs. That's why he took off even more weight over the summer. Pop wasn't able to limit Duncan's minutes in the second half of the season last year as much as he wanted to. Having Splitter here this year should help Pop stick to his plan this time, keeping Duncan fresher for the playoffs.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD is great. Always love to see him play

[spurspokesman]

Please don't wear him out again..

Can you say that again with a megaphone.

[dav4463]

I think his ticket has already been punched a long time ago.

I wish the rest of the fans in this league could see Tim on a daily basis. They would understand what Spurs fans understand. Everything goes through Tim. Even on a bad night, he is still a leader who does all the little things to give the Spurs a chance to win. He is the best basketball player I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of basketball. He is just a winner. I'm glad he's not flashy. I'm glad I don't have to watch him do commercials all the time. I'm just glad I get to watch him play basketball. Thanks Tim!

Duncan is good. He's not Kobe the Bean Bryant. Bryant has been spectacular since his second year in the League (Duncan's rookie year) up until this very day.

Tim has always looked good to start. I don't know if his jumper is him consciously going to it more often now or if it's part of the new offense Pop is running where I think he's letting the players let it fly if they're open. The offense (and defense) looked very D'antoni-ish.

I think Tim was forced to play 4/5 for several years while there were sub-standard 5's on the team, or playing 4/5 with other players who could do the same (Dice, and to a certain extent Bonner).

With Splitter in the wings, I thing Duncan is trying to return to his natural position, even if it means temporarily conceding the 2003 arrangement with Rose ahem Blair filling the paint for stretches. This may be good news as far as protecting Tim from injuries from opponents in the paint, but it does mean more movement, which may result in more aerobic wear-and-tear. Just my 2c.

Only one NBA player in age of Tim Duncan or older has got stat line like (at least of each category): 23 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 steals.



Who was it? Uh oh, David Robinson, anybody know that dude? In 2001 (he was 35 then) he did 25 points, 7 blocks, 4 steals and 12 rebounds. Number three of the list of age is Pat Ewing.



According to basketball-refence.com I discovered somenthing incredible. Absolutly brilliant domince of universal. Well, the guy called Hakeem Olajuwon did such a stat line (like above) 59(!) times! Sorry, but it's sick. For comparision second on list is Admiral (24 times), Shaq (7), TD (6), KG hau hau (4 times) or Karl Malone (2).
