[Dex]

Interesting fact: In 994 Regular Season games, Tim Duncan now has 3 triple-doubles.

In 170 Playoff Games, he has 4.

:toast to the greatest "PF" ever, especially when it matters most.

Damn, after watching this twice, I really wish we still had Stephen Jackson.

Post-Game.


He’s been the heart and soul of our program for a long time. He’s Tim Duncan, that’s what he does. He’s where it all begins. After all this time, we probably take him for granted.


I couldn’t make a shot so I figured I’d pass it and let somebody else make a shot. I wasn’t trying to do it. Just the flow of the game and the plays that were being called.


I’ve been doing it for 14 years now and it’s never happened. So it’s no time to start now. It’s not going to happen.

and people all thought he was washed up..

Notes on a scorecard: Let’s don’t give up on that Duncan guy, yet (http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2010/12/01/notes-on-a-scorecard-lets-dont-give-up-on-that-duncan-guy-yet/)

...But before we write the “old guy from the Virgin Islands” off just yet, we might consider his game Tuesday night as a statement he still has a little basketball left in him.


...It put a capper on one of the most memorable months in team history. The victory boosted San Antonio to a 14-1 November record and cemented their hold on the lead for the Southwest Division.

Duncan, 34, hasn’t been as big a part of that success as earlier in his career. But he still will play a vital role in what this team will accomplish this season.

Triple-double your pleasure: Duncan leads Spurs past Warriors (http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2010/12/01/duncan%e2%80%99s-triple-double-leads-spurs-past-warriors/)

...By the middle of the third quarter, the Triple Double Watch was officially in effect. Duncan’s last one came in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals against the Lakers, when he piled up 19 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a game the Spurs lost.

Duncan was unaware how close he was to duplicating that feat until he went to the bench with 2:34 left in the third quarter, one lonely assist shy. The Spurs were ahead 88-62 then, and with another game looming tonight against the Clippers in Los Angeles, Duncan figured both his night and triple-double bid were finished...

Has Bogans found the fountain of youth? Nope, just the Warriors' defense. Although Keiff scored just 15 points in a 118-98 win over the Warriors, the Spurs' centerpiece also added a fundamentally-sound 18 rebounds and 11 assists for his first triple-double since March 14, 2003.

So damn close to a Quad... that was one of the best nights of my life!

I picked 8 in my opinion best PF/C in last 20 years. So it'll be list: Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing and guy called Tim Duncan (or sth like that).

Then i sorted oldest player to reach Tripple-Double:
1. Karl Malone (last TD, he was 40.1, 35,2 - wow),
2. Charles Barkley (34.28)
3. Tim Duncan (34.21)
4. Hakeem Olajuwon (34.0)
5. Shaquille O'Neal (34.0)
6. Pat Ewing (33.2)
7. Kevin Garnett (30.2)
8. David Robinson (28.1)

*LOL at Kevin McHale (Reggie Miller's best PF ever) with 0 tripple-double in years 1986-1993. Don't know if he grabbed it in 1980-85 - no stats via basketball-reference.

Simply the best. It's been an honor to watch him all these years. :toast

San Antonio Spurs 118, Golden State Warriors 98: Who is Tim Duncan? Human after all (http://www.48minutesofhell.com/)

If the San Antonio Spurs’ season narrative has been about the transition of the team from Tim Duncan’s steady brilliance towards the speed and creativity of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, last night Tim Duncan interjected with a reminder his presence can still carry a couple chapters.

During the Spurs 118-98 win over the Golden State Warriors (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=301130009) Duncan found the fountain of youth — the Warriors defense — and rode it all the way back to 2003, recording his first regular season triple-double since March of that year.

While still struggling to find a rhythm with his shot (6-15, 15 points), there was Duncan grabbing 18 rebounds, blocking two shots, diving to the floor, dunking, and even attempting (and, in a sign of the times, missing) an alley-oop. And with the 11 assists, Duncan displayed his wonderful basketball IQ, still showcasing a game built off fundamentals, angles, and symmetry.

Symmetry is an important concept to remember. In FreeDarko Presents: The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac, Tim Duncan’s career numbers are compared to the Fibonacci sequence (http://www.freedarko.com/almanac/excerpts_duncan.html). But his career also fits symmetrically with another set of numbers, these forever tying him to another Spurs legend — David Robinson.
