Anybody else worried about Tim vs. Shaq

That last game has me a little worried about Duncan. He seems to lose all aggression when it comes to playing against Snack.

It's ok if you think I'm being a pussy, but I think Manu better bring his "A" game because I think we'll need it.

Anybody else feel this way?

[honestfool84]

no.

no +1
at least not officially

Not worried in the least. Duncan, and the Spurs, will be fine. What happened in the regular season means nothing. This is a different game, a game Duncan thrives on.

I think everyone noticed how Duncan was playing, but he was playing like that against other teams as well. It wasn't the hippo. Obviously, Snaq's size would bother anyone, but it shouldn't be enough to win a series.

I ain't skeered.


You pussy!

No, ones over the hill, ones been consistant his whole career.

You put two and two together

80% of the time, teams that win the season series win the playoff series as well

No Duncan's stats against Shaq led teams are great and he will not be on Timmy that much. When he is on Tim likely in the 4th qtr, Tim has to be aggressive take it to him and just be Tim.

I doubt that stat very much as the Spurs themselves in their run of titles have beat Teams that beat them in the Reg season numerous times. They got whacked 2-0 by the Cavs last year in the season, how did the finals turn out???

I concur! :D

Yes. Duncan never beat Shaq in the playoffs without Robinson by his side. (Although there's only one sample to draw from.)

This is a bad matchup for the Spurs IMO. Win this one and it's just a countdown to corkage time. :toast

Nothing that happens from here on out is taking Tim out of the top 10 ever in my view. One of my issues with Shaq is he is now bouncing all over the place late in his career. This is his 4th team and i bet he plays for 5 before it is all over. The Heat were in the gutter so he got traded to a contender, put in a great situation. Duncan i doubt will ever leave SA, he sure as hell is never playing for 4 teams in his career.

I thought I saw on BSPN where Duncan vs. Snaq in the PO's was 11-14 in favor of Snaq, Looks fairly even.

I'm not worried. Timmy will be Timmy when the time comes.
