Best Spur - Year-By-Year Since Drafting Timmy?

[T_L_P]

Who've you got?

I didn't get to see Duncan's first five years (98-02), but I'd imagine all of those seasons with the slight exception of 98 are Tim (statistically they are).

For me the rest go something like:

03 - Duncan
04 - Duncan
05 - Duncan (Manu was 1b to him in the Playoffs)
06 - Duncan
07 - Duncan
08 - Manu
09 - Duncan
10 - Duncan
11 - Manu
12 - Parker
13 - Parker/Duncan
14 - Kawhi
15 - Duncan

What do you think it is?

Him and Timmy shared the limelight in 2014. Winning 5 was a letdown, is what you're saying? Parker didn't show up against the clips, nor did Manu. Only one was Timmy. Case closed.

[SASdynasty!]

Yah he inflated his stats by scoring 32 in G7 against the Mavs to keep our season alive.

[TheGreatYacht]

I have no problem with Kawhi being the 2nd option to Timmy, it's what where he's best suited at. 2014 was more of a team effort, tbh. Kawhi gets most of the credit that Finals for checking Lebron, even though he nearly averaged a triple double on 58%, while the team always gets brushed off for their part as a whole in neutralizing the others. It's no coincidence that PATFO went all out in recruiting a true alpha in Aldridge. Pop must've had second thoughts about his comments on Kawhi being the "Big One" and "future of the franchise" after seeing him struggle to pass out of double teams and being unable to do anything against a washed up Barnes.

Yes, both Parker and Ginobili were awful that series. Can't expect them to put the team on their backs after they spent the whole year adjusting to differing to Kawhi first. It completely killed the concept of team ball, which was what that roster was intended to do. This year we have a lot more people who can get their own shot :tu

[San Antonio Slayer]

Manu should've been given finals MVP in 2005

[Richie]

2015 was unquestionably Duncan

[Richie]

Also Kawhi may have won Finals MVP but was definitely not the best Spur for the year, it was almost certainly Parker from '12-'14. Second Team All NBA each year.

[100%duncan]

2009: Manu
2010:Parker
2011:manu
2012: parker
2014 and 2015: Kawhi. Lol people saying tons of shit last I checked spurs were a .500 team both these years when Kawhi went down.

[skin27]

1998 to 2010 = Duncan2011 = manu2012 = parker2013 = Duncan( all NBA first team)2014 = kawhi/team effort2015 = Duncan

Pretty accurate save for '14 Duncan and Leonard are so MVPs and '11 Parker and Manu were co MVPs

Well, if you're going by that, why isn't it Tim for 2013? All-NBA and All-Defensive First Team.

I agree with nearly everything you wrote. But 2008 was absolutely Manu's year. His efficiency that year, if I'm not mistaken was literally comparable to Kobe's and I'm too lazy to look but he may have been MORE efficient than Kobe that year and he won MVP (even though Paul should have clearly won it). I believe this is when Duncan began burning out a bit from his decade of carrying so much and Manu was just stellar this year. Also, 2009 was solely Parker's year. To me this was his first "great" year from start to finish. He was the best performing Spur. But agree with everything else.

[bic50]

For me its been tim. But Kawhis play through march though was really impressive. One of the major reasons why the spurs looked like the team that won the title and the scariest team heading into the playoffs.

[TimmyDuncan21]

Duncan every year....

even last year

1998 - Timmy/DRob

2015 - Timmy

Yeah, pretty much this, though you could make Tony a co-MVP in 14' and Kawhi a co-MVP in 15'

[TimmyDuncan21]

How average would parker be without Duncan?

you guys talk about Parker like hes always elite....

:bobo

[AFMadison]

Manu should've been given finals MVP in 2005

Manu was a close second, but I agree with Duncan earning FMVP.

[Johnny RIngo]

Manu was a close second, but I agree with Duncan earning FMVP.

Manu was probably our best player throughout the entire playoffs. He deserved the Finals MVP. If Duncan wasn't hobbled with that injury, his overall performance would have been much better though.

[T_L_P]

Manu was probably our best player throughout the entire playoffs. He deserved the Finals MVP. If Duncan wasn't hobbled with that injury, his overall performance would have been much better though.

Duncan deserved it too.

He was being defended by arguably the best defensive player of his era and a hound in Rasheed. Brown said he spent 90% of his time figuring out how to stop Duncan, and he still had an effective series. His play late in game 7 won us the series, and he had to hold down the paint on his own most of the time.

Manu's performance was off the chain though. Crazy efficient.

Duncan is one of the few players in NBA history that can play through an injury and still have a considerable impact on the game(can't say the same for Tony unfortunately). Winning a title while having to put up with ankle problems in '05. Dominating the Mavs in '06 while having to deal with plantar fasciitis. But I still think Ginobili should have been MVP in 2005. It was Manu's best playoffs, by far. Duncan was much better in '03(obviously) and '07.

[sexinthatsx]

If thi sis playoffs based, I'm surprised no one mentioned Robert Horry for 2005

Oh right. Can't say the same for Tony. Because apparently Duncan leading the team in scoring while injured in the 2005 Finals on 42% shooting is so much better than Tony leading the team in scoring while injured in the 2014 Finals on 48% shooting. I guess Duncan had "impact" and Parker didn't. Lol.

The Spurs signing Aldridge has nothing to do with Kawhi's performance against the Clippers. Last summer, before the playoffs series, before all season, the Spurs didn't extend Kawhi contract just to make space for FA's. They needed to build for the future and that's why they wanted top free agents, not for Kawhi, it was for aging Big 3 and Tim possible retirement next season.

"Being unable to do anything against a washed up Barnes?" What a clown. Anything? 20.3ppg 7.4rpg in the series.

That's a good point

Kawhi averaged 25ppg the 1st half of the series 20.3ppg throughout series, was getting double teamed, and scored his career high on barnes. But apparently to TheGreatClown kawhi couldn't do anything. Smh.
