Duncan: "Tomorrow when that ball goes up well all be ready"

[deibero]

Timmy took all the team to dinner after the game: "We know the opportunity we let slip through our fingers. We're not going to dwell on that." "We just want to get to the game ... We like our chances."

Anyways, Listen to your leader people and stop with calling your team done. I said it in many threads, the spurs figured something out with Diaw in Game 5, and it carried for a good portion of Game 6. If we clean up some stupid mistakes and execute better down the stretch instead of running isos we should win by double digits.

[EVAY]

Yessssssssssssss!

[BatManu20]

What's he supposed to say, "This thing's over. We're done."..?

[SenorSpur]

That's my boy TD! That, my friends, is what a true leader says and does. Hell, Tim came out of the box in Game 6 demonstration a level of determination and will that was undeniable. I expect the same from him on Thursday.

[Pocket Hippo]

:ihit It isn't over yet!! :ihit

[deibero]

What's he supposed to say, "This thing's over. We're done."..?

have you seen the crazy shit manu has been saying since last night???

from today: "We've been through a lot of stuff, nothing like this."
"We can't be crying about what happened yesterday. ... Life goes on."
"Still down. After a blow like that, it's not easy to get back up."

SO YEAH, GOOD TO HEAR DUNCAN IS FINE!

[The Reckoning]

Duncan to Kawhi

series = over

[MannyIsGod]

Oh man - the quotes coming out of the Spurs today have made me feel much better about our chances.

[timtonymanu]

It's too bad he was let down by virtually all of his teammates and coach except Kawhi and Diaw, but he will be ready.

[timtonymanu]

If one team can bounce back from that, it's the Spurs. They didn't come this far to become mentally fragile.

[Robz4000]

Count on Tim Duncan tbh. Guy is God.

[Mr Bones]

Take note, fair weather fans, drama queens, and those calling for people to be fired/traded/etc, of the difference between Tim Duncan and yourselves.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Oh man - the quotes coming out of the Spurs today have made me feel much better about our chances.

Manu still sounding depressed to all heck though.

[davidbowie]

we are going to blow them out by 25+

i truly believe this

all big three will show up

t mac will get a bucket

all these feeling right now will be a distant memory

[deibero]

NOW LISTEN TO TP:
"If you told us we'd be tied 3-3 with chance to win a title, we'd sign it. We just have to be positive and forget Game 6."
"It's a great challenge. We know we can beat them here."
Parker said last night’s loss is no different from a blowout. Said these players aren’t affected by a loss like that.
"if you're not ready tomorrow you're going to regret it for the next 10-15 years."

[rogues]

:lol false hope..

[Salty]

:lol false hope..

:lol front running faggot :lol

[Spursmania]

:lol false hope..

Honestly, if you guys can't beat our old gimpy team with the big three you have-EPIC FAIL:lol
I like our chances. Miami celebrating like they won the ship already. Keep on telling yourselves it's over and you've already won.

[phxspurfan]

"if you're not ready tomorrow you're going to regret it for the next 10-15 years."

That part is very true. I hope all of the Spurs that are playing tomorrow see that. Regardless of the bullshit that went on during game 6, the Spurs still have a shot on Thursday. To throw it all away would make them all regret it later.

Sounds like a lot of nervous bravado around here. It goes with out saying(but I'll say it anyway), a Spurs loss Thursday would be devastating. Might have to blow the team up.

[urunobili]

Oh man - the quotes coming out of the Spurs today have made me feel much better about our chances.

couldn't have said it better. We won't go down without a fight :ihit

[Keepin' it real]

I found this quote from Tim to be more interesting, in regard to the team dinner: "...guys exchanged whatever thoughts they had"

I took that to mean Tim told Manu, Tony and Pop, "I just went for 30 and 17, and you all fucked it up."

[CitizenDwayne]

Sounds like a lot of nervous bravado around here. It goes with out saying(but I'll say it anyway), a Spurs loss Thursday would be devastating. Might have to blow the team up.

Yep. Blow the team up after a Finals loss. Sounds right. Thank you for your insight.

[SA210]

Was Pop at this dinner?

Way to go Tim, we all know Pop robbed you last night. Go get your ring.

I have no doubt that Duncan shows up in Game 7 and gives everything he's got.

However, I doubt that Parker, Manu, Pop, etc. will do the same.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Tim proving how much of a legend he is! We all love Parker, and through the years we've loved Manu and Pop too, but Duncan has always been the face of the franchise, hell he is the franchise! Regardless of what happens, this will not ruin the lasting image we have of Duncan. We will always remember him as the legend he is. Anyone who doesn't trust Duncan isn't a true Spurs fan. Compared to Duncan, screw Parker, Manu, and Pop. Duncan has always been our man and will always be! In Duncan we trust! I believe now! GO SPURS GO!!!

[boobie4three]

Yep. Blow the team up after a Finals loss. Sounds right. Thank you for your insight.
The fact that they couldn't finish Tuesday and a loss tomorrow would just prove what everyone suspects. Your Big Three are well past their prime and don't have the stamina to git'r done. Now they could prove me wrong and indeed prevail, but as of this moment, I'll bet the farm on Miami.

How fucking stupid can you be? The core of our team (less Manu) is pretty much locked up for the next two years. Spurs aren't blowing anything up.

This is what the finals are all about. The best team to win 4 out of 7. This is where our true colors will show!!! GSG!!!

[SpursDynasty21]

Please win, Spurs!

[tesseractive]

I have no doubt that Duncan shows up in Game 7 and gives everything he's got.

However, I doubt that Parker, Manu, Pop, etc. will do the same.
Manu sounds like he might be done.

I think Pop will be ok, and I think Tony will show up to play. Kawhi seems utterly unfazed by anything. I really, really hope Danny has one more game in him too, because a few more clutch long balls would make a world of difference.

[TDfan2007]

Timmy will give it everything he has and play well. I'm more worried about Manu and Parker

[look_at_g_shred]

What's funny is that Miami has no way of beating us unless we beat ourselves, or give them the game a la last night.

[Agloco]

What's he supposed to say, "This thing's over. We're done."..?

As long as he doesn't believe that in his heart we're good.

Boobie4free -- what a clown post you made. Spurs are fractions of inches from taking out Miami and you liken that to Nero fiddling while Rome is burning?

Lebron showed great respect to the Spurs and their excellence after the win last night and sounded like Tim Duncan more than Lebron James. I suggest you show appropriate respect too.

[SpursDynasty21]

The Spurs have to make their shots, limit turnovers, and play solid defense.

[elbamba]

:lol false hope..

Were you one of the fans that left the game early only to not be allowed in when they came back?

[gameFACE]

No link, no cred.....

[TheyCallMePro]

I really thought Tim and Tony sounded confident today. And Manu acknowledged last night that the team didn't play particularly well and can play much better.

This team is VERY mature. Danny Green is going to be looking for redemption. Kawhi is a stoic. He's not going to be fazed. You could see that in OT last night where he nearly won it for us.

After listening to Tim and Tony and Manu from last night, I really do feel were going to win tomorrow guys. Remember, the Heat havn't won 2 straight in 7 straight games. We've got this. I FEEL IT.

[AntiChrist]

Sounds like a lot of nervous bravado around here. It goes with out saying(but I'll say it anyway), a Spurs loss Thursday would be devastating. Might have to blow the team up.

Basketball Gods gave it to the Spurs.
They threw it away.

Basketball Gods take note.

What they say is soooo irrelevant.

[elmanutres]

Like what shaq says, If the general doesnt panic, the troops wont panic

[ducks]

tp said they had dinners and talked about their most dissapointing games they palyed in
they are so ready

[TheGoldStandard]

Duncan will show up, Tony will show up.. my hope is that Manu either doesn't make it on that bus or he comes to score not pass the ball. He's a turnover machine when he thinks he has someone open and they never are. Everyone else will fall in line when the guys hit the floor, Danny and Kawhi will be ready to go when they get the ball in there hands. Short leash on Manu though, turnovers start happening and we gotta go Gary Neal/Diaw something.. anything else. Let's just hope that Pop doesn't manage minutes in this game, can't afford to be sitting anyone for any amount of time unless its 30 seconds from the 1st to 2nd, and 3rd to 4th

[mercos]

The Spurs are professionals. They don't dwell on bad games. The only concern going forward is fatigue. Game 7 will be the third game in five nights. However, Miami expended even more energy than San Antonio in game 6 in order to make that comeback. LBJ and Dwyane Wade are both roughly the same age as Parker. Wade's knee was also swollen. I expect two champions to duke it out on Thursday and leave everything on the court. Should be a great game.

First of all, it's Boobie4three, but maybe you just pronounce it free. Some do you know. Secondly, the Nero analogy was in reference to the general attitude here that everything is hunky dory with the Spurs and Tuesday's letdown was just an anomaly. I'm betting the Spurs players themselves aren't living in such a dreamworld. They knew full well they HAD to finish off the Heat last night. They COULD'NT let them get off the mat, but that's what they did, and consequently, there won't be any celebration in Spurville Thursday night.:(

[TampaDude]

What's funny is that Miami has no way of beating us unless we beat ourselves, or give them the game a la last night.

^ this, tbh

I expect the Spurs to come out and DOMINATE Game 7. Timmy wants his 5th ring, and NOBODY is gonna stop him from getting it! :hat

[MannyIsGod]

Manu still sounding depressed to all heck though.

Yeah but whats he going to do? Play worse?

[Poolboy5623]

Why are they going out for dinner at 1-2am? ...and going by previous dinners and their photos, Id guess Parker wasn't even there:(

[UZER]

Yeah but whats he going to do? Play worse?

:lol I would think not, but I wouldn't be surprised with this Manu.

[UZER]

Hopefully they give him a few post touches in the 2nd half tomorrow, tbh:lol..

[crc21209]

Hopefully they give him a few post touches in the 2nd half tomorrow, tbh:lol..

This. After the first half he had, he should've gotten the ball in the post at least 5 times at the beginning of the 3rd qtr. They should've gone to him when nothing else was going right...

[SpurYank]

I expected no less from TD. As with a handfu lof Spurs fans who post here, it is what all of us who have faith in our Spurs want to hear. The majority, the hating cry babies, are probably thinking "Oh sure, it's easy to say."

[SpurPadre]

What's he supposed to say, "This thing's over. We're done."..?

Well, that's what Manu basically said after the game. I hope TD slapped him around and brought him to his senses at that dinner.

[FkLA]

Rumor has it that Ginobili was not invited to the dinner.

[Poolboy5623]

Well, that's what Manu basically said after the game. I hope TD slapped him around and brought him to his senses at that dinner.

Actually, I just hope Ginobili plays 10-15min in game 7..and Diaw plays the rest.

[SpurPadre]

Rumor has it that Ginobili was not invited to the dinner.

Link to this rumor?

[spurtech09]

I have a feeling the spurs are going to run Miami heat over...yes spurs had a chance Tuesday but I can see the spurs playing like crazy with anger.....knowing the spurs there not going to lose 2 in a row.....

[tmtcsc]

We are going to win Game 7 tomorrow because we are the better team. We've been the better team all through this series. I'm looking forward to the game. Last night's game sucked to high hell and I was pissed off and sad all night. But the sun came up and I realized we still had another chance. Right now, Miami is thanking their lucky stars there is a game 7. We're looking to finish this thing on top. Fuck the Heat.

[easjer]

I just said it elsewhere. Yeah, the stats show . . . blah blah, heartbreaking defeat . . . blah blah, how do they come back, fatigue, etc etc. I know.

But Tim Duncan tasted defeat at the Finals level last night. If you think he doesn't want to wash that taste out with champagne while hugging the LOB, you're insane. Timmy D is going to show up in a big, big way. I can't guarantee his shots will fall, or that ball movement will happen or that the refs won't screw them over or that the building won't collapse from the irony of Heat fans chanting 'refs suck' . . . but I can guarantee that Tim Duncan will play his motherfucking heart out because he wants it bad.

[Horry Hipcheck]

The fact that they couldn't finish Tuesday and a loss tomorrow would just prove what everyone suspects. Your Big Three are well past their prime and don't have the stamina to git'r done. Now they could prove me wrong and indeed prevail, but as of this moment, I'll bet the farm on Miami.

An aging core centered around 37 year old Duncan gets unceremoniously bounced from the 2012 playoffs after flirting with invincibility, after posting the league's best record in 2011, after two down years, after taking their 2007 title defense to the WCF against eventual champion Lakers, after winning the 2007 title against Lebron's hapless Cavs, after a monstrous 2006 series against eventual champion Dallas where Duncan played out of his mind in Game 7, after defeating defending champion Detroit for the 2005 title, after a tough loss on a once-in-a-lifetime shot from Fisher and the eventual champion Lakers, after winning the 2003 title. After 9 years of that, and years of being written off as incapable of competing, after the youthful Thunder took the Western throne, they're about to play Game 7 of the Finals against the Heat. Your suggestion holds no water, please leave, thanks for your contributions.

Lmao... So what? Spurs, whether old or not, are still better than your team will ever be, gimpy legs and all. Last time i checked, They are currently in the finals, game 7. Now go back to your scrub team. Face palm...

[HemisfairArena]

This is why I love Tim Duncan. Best to ever play the game IMO> He was over the game and moving on quicker than 99% of the posters on here. Man up, shut up and play is his message.

[angelbelow]

Duncan needs this. He can't go home empty-handed to an empty bed with sheets that are encrusted with another mans semen.

He deserves better.

[DawgMilkX]

If everyone shows up the Spurs will win without a doubt. Even after Lebron had a big 4th QTR he still almost gave the game away with 2TO's and the Spurs went up because of them. If we get 1 Rebound Spurs win or make 1 more FT Spurs win. This with only Duncan and Leonard showing up 2 play. Still don't know why they went away from Duncan in the 2nd half. I have a good feeling Spurs win game 7. Everyone is doubting them again and thats when they really show up. They were counted out this whole Playoffs so to top it off with a Game 7 win on the Road would be icing on the cake. They know this is probably the last chance and I expect Manu to actually show up for the Spurs this game. Just gotta Believe! GO SPURS GO!!!!!!:lobt2:

[Yuixafun]

Man I caught this interview... and the words sound good, but man Duncan seemed so thin and frail, like he was caved in.


And Parker looked like he aged 10 years.

You werent wrong

You were ALMOST right TBH


Damn .... I was celebrating .... and then :cry

[Chinook]

To me, this was like Game 5 against Memphis (there's only been one of those, so you all know what I mean). The Spurs managed to come back at the last second and steal it in overtime, but even they knew they weren't really a threat to win the series. Just because a team has a deflating loss does not put them at a huge disadvantage for the next game. The Spurs showed that they could dominate a "motivated" Miami, and they saw every little adjustment Spoelstra could possibly make to slow them down. Now, Pop can make his last adjustments.

I expect Duncan to have another good game, he didn't seem too tired, so I don't think the tank is empty yet. It wouldn't surprise me to see him get a triple-double, since Miami knows they can't stop him one-on-one anymore. So long as Pop makes sure the shooters are ready, it should be fine.

The biggest concerns are making sure Parker's good to go and that someone steps up from beyond the three-point line other than Green. If Danny is the only player the Heat chose not to double off of, then the other guys have to make them pay. A Game 3--like performance from Neal or a Game 5--like performance from Ginobili could be the difference.

TP needs to drive more. If LeBron is on him he needs to give the ball up and run him through screens.

[ElNono]

Well, you said the Lakers would be playing tomorrow... in absolute levels of fail, you lead by a wide margin,tbh...

[Chinook]

TP needs to drive more. If LeBron is on him he needs to give the ball up and run him through screens.

That forces switches, which isn't a bad thing. To be honest, I have no idea why the Spurs go iso when Lebron is on Parker. If anything, doing a PnR with Duncan then forces a trap with Bosh and James on Tony, which takes away any rim protection at all.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Good post, except the fact that the Pistons won the title in 2004, not the Lakers.

Good catch, didn't even notice.

[Proxy]

I have no doubt that Duncan shows up in Game 7 and gives everything he's got.

However, I doubt that Parker, Manu, Pop, etc. will do the same.

Jeez man... if we lived in your pessimistic world, Spurs would be drafting Sam Bowie every year. Parker, Manu, and Pop will show up.

[rascal]

Well, you said the Lakers would be playing tomorrow... in absolute levels of fail, you lead by a wide margin,tbh...

Absolutely not. Without Kobe I said the spurs would sweep them.

fear not Spurs fans!! The heat simply did us a favor and rescheduled the championship celebration on thursday!!

no but seriously fuck those guys, i want the face of every heat fan to squirm and cover their mouths and leave early like they were in game 6. we will win in their house, AND DAMMIT THE 2013 CHAMPIONSHIP BANNER WILL RISE AT THE AT&T CENTER

I feel like dead man walking already so I don't think I'll be as nervous as last night.

Don't underestimate the "last chance" factor the big three will have tomorrow. Also Miami is treating game 6 as if they won the whole damn thing. Not saying the spurs will win, but folks are crowning the heat way too early.

Nut up!

Told ya'll motherfuckers our team is riled up for Game 7. I won't be surprised if they're already pissed off at the moment.

believe in what we have, and what we can give, were gonna give it everything we have and bring the best--regardless of what some may see--heat fans are lame--all they can do is leave halfway and return halfway, not real. Duncan is the greatest of all time, so to shall he be always--win or lose hes incredibly awesome and nobody can take that away from him---EVER.

Few Notes: Spurs are 4-0 after a loss, and the way the series has gone it's got a trend, nobody has won 2 games in a row and you would think Miami is the most pressured to win because their the ones who have to win back to back, but the spurs know this is their time to finish it "You delay my prize; once it's not gonna happen again!" I can see Duncan extremely motivated for game 7--as for other stats--leave it on the table... bring it all for it all, whatever happens we stand united.... and always know were not HEAT BANDWAGONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thank you.

[baseline bum]

Yeah but whats he going to do? Play worse?

Remember when we thought that after Game 4?

[HI-FI]

great read. Duncan is a special type of player/competitor/leader. I love his quotes about putting their feelings out in the open. They probably drank a lot but I imagine it was a therapeutic time. It definitely gives me more resolve.

[Seefourdc]

Manu's spirit is totally defeated. That's the reason the spurs will lose tomorrow. Manu is the only person who can create dribble penetration when Parker is being guarded by James. In quarters 3 and 4 when Duncan has no legs left and Parker is guarded by Bron there are no legit scoring options. The Heat just leaving a man on Green makes him useless on the offensive end because he can only do one thing. I just hope it will be a good game at this point because the Spurs scorers are beat down and tired.

[sventhedog]

how about tmac. lol.

[Trifecta]

What's funny is that Miami has no way of beating us unless we beat ourselves, or give them the game a la last night.

Word!!!!

[BackHome]

Hell we going to win just look at the Heat vs Ind..every game was a win-loose-win-loose etc....the same for us except we beat there ass the first game so they won last night we will win tomm..

+ The Heat went seven with Ind and they did the same thing win-loss-win-loss.etc.........

I guess Manny now knows why I said he played ok in Game 4 :lol

tbh, I don't even know where's the absolute bottom these days... those 8 TOs certainly looked like it.

I just hope he doesn't end the season with an absolute massive epic shitfest... because Pop will play him, and I want the Spurs to pull the upset.

If his spirit is totally defeated he is not a strong minded player and mentally weak with a game 7 coming up! I refuse to believe he checked out and is mentally defeated, if that is true he is scared and soft mentally! PERIOD! I hope thats not the case as he is known to me as a Olympic champ and NBA champ and rose to the occasion alot!

This made me :lol

[milkyway21]

Duncan, Kawhi, TP, Diaw after his operation, Manu & Splitter being healthy is already a plus - thing giving us hope.

[beallionaire]

Kobe has finished off the spurs many times.


dont know why you're even bothering with Kobe tbh

[ElNono]

Kobe has finished off the spurs many times.

I read that the Spurs practice was like a morgue yesterday so I'm not buying these quotes.

As someone near death as well, how do you stave off the Grim Reaper each and every morning tlong?

[Bill_Brasky]

TD in the press conference handled it very well. He's keeping his mental edge. He won't let this thing slip away. We need the others to follow.

[rascal]

Yup...and as it turns out, I was wrong about that. The Spurs will win Game 7, though, just like you predicted. Unless, of course, they lose...then we're both wrong. Oh, well.

I went back and saw you originally said the Spurs in 5. If I go back and look I will probably see the Spurs in 4 somewhere from you. I take it that you think the Spurs will win everytime they take the court.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

What's he supposed to say, "This thing's over. We're done."..?

He will be ready. The Spurs have been superb thus far this season playoffs coming back from losses.

Alot of you guys already have this was the one that got away. There is still ONE MORE GAME TO BE PLAYED. And Duncan and Co., believe me are going to play it.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

The Captain is righting the ship for the championship. Yes...

Every day is a blessing my friend.
