Tim Duncan
Duncan played well against the Clippers offensively. He had a few problems defensively against the pick-and-rolls and rebounding-wise, but overall it was another good game for the superstar.
GRADE: 89
DECEMBER: 86.8
SEASON: 87.3
Bruce Bowen
In 31 minutes, Bowen did a good job on both ends of the court. He hit 3-of-8 shots (2-for-5 downtown) and limited Corey Maggette to 4-of-12 shooting.
GRADE: 88
DECEMBER: 85.4
SEASON: 84.8
Rasho Nesterovic
Nesterovic pulled down six rebounds and blocked two shots in 27 minutes of playing time. His offense was sub par again, but at least he’s been bringing some effort lately.
GRADE: 87
DECEMBER: 79.8
SEASON: 82.5
Manu Ginobili
Ginobili only played 25 minutes as he was coming off a strained neck that forced him to sit out a game. Despite the limited minutes, he still filled the stat sheet with nine points, four rebounds and four assists.
GRADE: 88
DECEMBER: 86.9
SEASON: 88.1
Tony Parker
Parker is making a late push for an All-Star bid. Over the last couple weeks, it’d be hard to find a point guard who is playing better. Against the Clippers, Parker finished 7-for-12 from the field on his way to 21 points and 11 assists.
GRADE: 94
DECEMBER: 90.2
SEASON: 86.4
Brent Barry
Coming off the bench, Barry played the most minutes (27) he has in that role since November 26th. He responded with 12 points, five rebounds and two assists.
GRADE: 88
DECEMBER: 78.3
SEASON: 81.8
Robert Horry
Horry had been playing very well of late, but didn’t have it against the Clippers. He missed all three of his shots in his 17 minutes of play and looked sluggish at times.
GRADE: 79
DECEMBER: 87.2
SEASON: 83.6
Malik Rose
With Horry struggling a little bit, Rose stepped in and filled the role admirably. He was ultra aggressive as he fought around the basket for points and rebounds.
GRADE: 88
DECEMBER: 84.8
SEASON: 85.3
Beno Udrih
Another solid game for the Slovenian wiz kid. He finished with seven points, two assists and no turnovers in 13 minutes of playing time. How do the Spurs find these guys?
GRADE: 89
DECEMBER: 87.1
SEASON: 83.8
Devin Brown
While he didn’t get much playing time after Popovich was ejected, Brown played adequately in the minutes he received in the first half and garbage time.
GRADE: 83
