Duncan playing on Tuesday?

[StoneBuddha]

Any news on Duncan? I'm out in California and thinking about getting tickets for the Warriors game. I'd really like to see Tim play if I'm going to get tickets.

[Dex]

So far, most reports have indicated he'll play.

He was questionable for Friday against the Jazz, but they held him out to stay on the safe side.

Given the four days between then and Tuesday, I'm pretty sure we should have our good ol' Timmy back.

[efrem1]

He should be back in action. The three-day layoff will help the others as well.

[exstatic]

He will have had 8 days off for a minor sprain if he plays Tuesday. I think he will.

This is from Jeff McDonald's column in the Express News Thursday, the day before the Jazz game.

"Even though Duncan returned to practice Thursday, Popovich would prefer to keep him out of harm's way for one more game. Under the current timetable, the Spurs expect to get their All-Star forward back Tuesday at Golden State, nine days after he sprained his ankle against Portland."

Its GS. Keep him out one more game.

Its GS. Keep him out one more game.
so what team does it have to be for us to bring Timmy back? I say if he's feeling up to it, bring him back. This whole getting used to playing without Tim just isn't good in the long run.

[JPB]

No, spurs are better without Duncan.

Discuss.

tony and manu can't keep this up forever and they've been pretty banged up the last couple of games. also, we can't have tim "feeling" his way through the rest of the season once he returns. the sooner the spurs would have him on the court, the better.

bring duncan back and set the team on cruise control in the next game. a loss to golden state, if it comes to it, isn't important. what is important is to ensure that duncan, along with tony and manu, is always in game shape.

Suit him up and use him as a just in case mode.

Duncan will abuse them...

Let's procrastinate for entertainment's sake. Just to milk the opportunity.

[703 Spurz]

Have 'em play half the game, maybe even a little less.

[Kobulingam]

I think Parker needs the rest more than Duncan does. Sit Parker and let Duncan decimate the GS Warriors.

we cant expect to keep winning without Duncan for very long,
all the players have to work double for the points.
We need Duncan back, if he is healthy i would like to see him back.
