Cousins/Davis Vs Duncan/Robinson and Wallace Brothers

[hitmantb]

Seriously amazing how little the Kings traded the #1 center in the NBA for!

Duncan/Robinson obviously had much higher peaks individually, however their peaks were very far apart, while Cousins/Davis are unquestionably the best player in their position today and their peaks basically sync up perfectly.

In term of raw talents they are so scary, a few trades for some 3d they have a real chance to upset the warriors if everyone is healthy.

[Chinook]

WTF? Neither NO player could touch either Spur. I'm not even sure these two last a year together.

[dabom]

I'm not even sure both of them equals peak Duncan. :lmao

[tbdog]

TD and DRob won a title in the second year together, and another 4 years later. They played for 6 years together. Cousins and AD haven't played a min together yet, and still need to make a run on the Nuggets to make the playoffs.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Are people starting to forget how bonkers Cousins is?

[Mr. Body]

Robinson or Duncan would destroy both of these guys together. Vintage Robinson was a freak and Davis isn't even close to Duncan in his prime.

[lilbthebasedgod]

Duncan Robinson easily.

Cousins and Davis are the two best today (Cousins > Davis) so its not THAT different but still.

[hater]

Oh yeah? So we shud just stop watching n hand them the trophy??

Decousins is Ron Artest level crazy

I dont see Whorenets getting anywhere this year but theyll b fun to watch and I will root for them and hope Im wrong and you are right. Id love to see this team wipe the floor with Eliancito , Ethiopian and Donkey

[Chucho]

There is NOTHING to fear about Cuzzy and FuckBrow. Maurbury and Francis 2.0, except extra stat padding in Today's NBA.

It will be an ineffectual move after all is said and done. Twin towers don't win in the L anymore and neither of them stretches the floor. Don't take it to the hoop, you can win slaughtering teams with jumpers in Today's NBA.

[dabom]

Twin Towers would dominate in today's league. They would have 3 point specialist with them too. :lol

I don't see a team with 2 great defenders to stop each player. :lol

League would get cucked with any top 5 player ever and top 20 player ever. :lol

[cd98]

Unlike Cousins, no body would ever trade a prime Duncan or Robinson. And Robinson and Tim, even on their worst teams, always made the playoffs when healthy. Davis and Cousins can't claim that.

[Proxy]

maybe in a perfect world, nawlins get the 8th seed, stay big, and give SA some film to build off of for the later rounds

I obviously agree that Tim/Dave were better, but people seem to be underrating Davis/Cousins here...they're gonna be a spectacle to behold. I'm actually excited to watch them play together, while not really having to feel threatened because the rest of the team sucks ass.

I think the Spurs would win vs. Pelicans but I think it would have upset potential. Holiday is better than Parker. And I'm not sure that Pau / LMA could handle Boogie and AD. And either of those players is athletic enough to pop out on LMA and neutralize him. Of course that's assuming they could all get on the same page by the end of the year. I'd rather the Spurs play any other team in the bottom 4 besides NO. It could come down to bench play which I think the Spurs have the advantage. But those guys on the NO starting 5 are young and capable of carrying a game.

It's not likely that these stat pairing thresholds will still be met once the touches between AD and Boogie have to be shared... IN fact, that's why Duncan and Robinson only accomplished the feat during Duncan's rookie season... while Duncan was technically still 'learning the ropes' and before Robinson fully conceded the reigns of the team to his younger teammate. There are only so many touches a front court can have before spacing issues become a problem for their offense (most teams need some form of balance between perimeter and post play)...

This type of lazy reporting by ESPN to not point out the contextual difference - as obvious as it may be - is one of the reasons why I can't take their journalism seriously.

It's also why I didn't care one bit for MVPau being added to the team if I am honest.
And the team after a period of adjustment has been playing very well without him. In fact start of the season they had some questionable losses, same as they did without Pau in the stretch he has been out. Frankly the team needs to update their guards (Tony is erratic to say the least and avoid that flame war)...

But heh.. Davis and Cousins should be fun to follow from afar.

[cjw]

Why is Dwight/Pau not part of comparison? Doesn't fit narrative?

[dabom]

:lol

[Phenomanul]

Still an "L"

[cd98]

833859531180560388 Tim and David played together and averaged 20 and 10, but don't we have to wait until Davis and Cousins play half a season together before we conclude they will average 20/10? I mean, just because they did it on separate teams doesn't mean they will do it together.

[skulls138]

Totally. Thats a laughable stat to say the LEAST!

Good point. Whether they're capable of doing it on the same team still remains to be seen.

[HarlemHeat37]

As I said downstairs when the trade occurred, I doubt they will even make the playoffs, this season..we'll see their true form, next year IMO..

[spursistan]

0-3 :lmao...the disrespect by new age NBA Fans is annoying.."Twin towers 2.0" are going watch the playoffs from their couches like you and me..

[apalisoc_9]

0-3 :lmao...the disrespect by new age NBA Fans is annoying.."Twin towers 2.0" are going watch the playoffs from their couches like you and me..

They have zero structure. They need a wing and a different PG from Holiday. Holiday just seems like a bad fith with two ball dominant Bigs.

[Thomas82]

Make that 0-3 for the new Twin Towers.....I mean Faux Towers. I guess the more things change the more they stay the same.

Can we call them Faulty Towers?

[Thomas82]

Can we call them Faulty Towers?

That works too.

[hitmantb]

To be fair, 99 Twin Towers started 6-8 and won the title, that was with one season playing together and a pre-season and way more practice and a big man friendly era.

I didn't expect them to be this bad however, hope they bounce back to make the playoffs, and at least bang up GSW a bit in round 1.

I point out that the twin towers fell in 2001. No matter what might have happened in the aftermath would America ever be the same. I don't think 2003 can be considered as D.Rob wasn't even close to his real self for anything other than the playoffs.

Cousins fucking sucks. He's not a winner. He'll never be a winner. Look at how well Sacto's been playing without that piece of shit fucking it up for them.

Fawlty Towers. But yes, great nickname.

That sense of entitlement is killing him.
