Will Tim play like Tim on Thursday?

[dbreiden83080]

It has been really hard for me to watch him struggle like this all year. Clearly he is more hurt this year than he ever was last year. This damn injury has taken away all of his explosiveness to the rim and the lift on his shots. I still have to believe that he will step it up against Dallas and give us an old 25 and 15 game. Maybe it is just wishful thinking on my part but if he can't do it then i don't see it happening come playoff time.

Playoffs are still a ways away. I don't think this injury will completely heal, but he should get a lil of his explosiveness back before the playoffs.

Don't know about a big game Thursday. Howard is hurt, so that should weaken their interior defense, but then again he just played the Knicks and didn't have a great offensive game.

Finally, a fresh topic to discuss!

We fucking pummeled the Knicks by almost thirty, he didn't need to step up for us tonight.

He was four for nine, that's not bad at all, he just didn't take a lot of shots, I think an almost thirty point win margin is enough...

give it a rest.

I think it is becoming a legitimate concern. I did some calculating- and unless I totally goofed, these numbers may surprise some people.

For the month of February: FG%

Tim: 39%
Nazr: 54%
Rasho: 64%

At least this week Tim gets the extra day off and that usually helps.

replace tim with rasho in the lineup :blah :spin

I think besides his nagging injuries he is less motivated. Don't mistake this for him not wanting to win but i got the feeling early in the season that had this sense about him. I believe that with all of his accomplishments he pretty much has done everthying at least twice and human nature takes over. Now my gut feeling tells me he gets up for the games against teams that actually matter. I have no doubt we will see an active Tim Duncan in the playoffs and on Thursday.

That is called Razr :lol It can't be stopped :nope :flipoff
