Let us also not forget RJ's momentous contribution to tonight's win, a veritable Pippen to his Jordan, behold: 11 points, 3 assists, and 5 rebounds, all in just 32 minutes.
This season is a lock.

Okay, now that stat is even more manufactured than Chris Paul's "consecutive games with a steal".Quote:

Marcus Camby (35 years old) did it a couple weeks ago (Jan. 20th vs. Bulls) with 25 rebounds.Quote:

I didn't "manufacture" that stat LOL, it's true..
Basketball-reference has games that go back until 86-87..in that time, there have been 12 instances of 33+ year olds getting 27 rebounds or more(including Duncan)..Duncan is the only one to do it in under 38 minutes..
It's funny how that works...all of Duncan's averages over the past five years are starting to bare themselves out, only this year he's doing it in 32-33 mpg. He's settling into: (roughly) 19 ppg, 11 rpg, 3.1 apg, 1.9 bpg, 50-53%, 70-75%.
With Parker out, Pop needs to not overwork Duncan (or Ginobili). Jefferson should be able to handle significantly more minutes and will have to, with Hill playing the point exclusively and Mason likely playing the majority of his minutes at the point as well. With Finley not yet back and Hairston with the Toros, the Spurs are down to five perimeter players. This means small ball is likely out the window for the time being.
That was impressive but why is Duncan shooting so bad lately?
I didn't watch the game, did the Beast play most of his minutes while Duncan was out?Quote:

Granted, he's facing a lot less double teams these days, but nonetheless, his career percentage is .509%. His best years were: .549% in 07-08 and .546% in 06-07. Aside from those two seasons, his next best is .513% in 02-03.Quote:

If my notes are correct, tonight was Duncan's 20th 20-20 game in the regular season. He has 10 in the Playoffs.

I didn't watch the game, but I'm glad the Spurs won on Duncan's career night.
Haven't come forum for a long time, I'm so happy about this...I also noticed that Duncan did not even mention it in the post-game interview.
Heaven forbid a good performance be celebrated...Quote:

duncan wanted to remind blair that he's not the only one on the team that can get a 20-20 game.
