Apparently this was reported on KSAT. I hope she's okay; she just had a baby last week or so.
Unfortunately it is true that he flew back to SA. :( I hope she's okay.
oh man that sucks.
sending you positive vibes, Mrs. PJ.
Oh geez. That doesn't sound great. I'll say prayers for her tonight. Maybe she's just exhausted with the new baby?
On that line, what happens if Amy Duncan goes into labor before this series is done? Anyone know?
Whatever Tim wants to do, is ok with me. Wife and child come first.
How old is his wife anyway, since he is 57, it seems odd to be having kids at this age, Larry Brown and Tony Randle, not withstanding.
:)
^Word up!
I hope PJ's wife gets better, whatever happened.
That's my feeling too. But I didn't know if they had some sort of contingency plan or anything. I just don't think I want to be around SA if it happens that he goes to be with her before a big game.
Spurs have won w/o TD, they can do it again.
Rasho would have 30-20 game.
I hope it's not too serious with PJ's wife or child. Good thoughts going their way.
You mean there is a chance that Amy could deliver soon?? How far along is she??
I hope it's not serious.... :(
I think I heard her due date is MONDAY. :wow :wowQuote:

At her age, I would guess that it may be her gall bladder. Soon after my wife delivered, she had a massive attack (Thought she was having a heart attack) and was rushed to the ER. I got the word on my cell as I was leaving Sinton and drove the next 2-1/2 hours with all sorts of stuff running around in my brain. The doctor said it is fairly common for pregnancy hormones to cause gall stones to form in women over 30.
eeeKkk!! Well, since it's her first let's hope for the old adage that they always come late. :pQuote:

1369, That is absolutely true. Gallbladder problems are abundant with pregnant women. So are deep vein thrombosis. :( Again, sending good thoughts to both PJ wife & Duncan's!!
EXACTLY, Spurswoman. Now there's even more incentive for Tim to dominate and try to close this out in five.

Get well soon to his wife.
man, prayers go out to PJ and his wifey and family... :(
I hope she is ok. Best wishes PJ and family.
Best wishes to Mrs. PJ, PJ and PJ Jr.!
I hope it turns out to be a false alarm.

PJ is being interviewed on Dan Patrick right now.
He did not comment of Spre telling KG that they should not hire him in Minn.
Sprewell is still an asshole, I see.
Why are they not talking about his wife???
He said Manu is not 100%, but should play.
He said Manu is always hurt because of his style of play, so it is nothing new. :)
He said Manu is so competitive that he is better in the 4th Q when the game in on the line, and that he is just so special.
He said that he was surprised that Jackson went back to LA. He sees no problem with him and Kobe being together though.

But seriously, I hope Mrs. C is okay. Can't help thinking as a woman who's gone through PPD, I hope he didn't leave her alone! I understand his needing to leave town, but I hope her mom or someone came and stayed with her because I could not handle being left alone with the baby after I had him.
i dont see why duncan would skip a finals game for the birth of his daughter, unless his wife is sick or has complications, i know he'd want to be there, but i dont think he'd want to let the team down and hopefully his wife would understand
God, I hope you never have kids. And if you do, hopefully they'll never find out that they're not as important as basketball.Quote:

ok your almightness
im being honest
1. the chance of her going into labor the night of a game is slim to none
2. duncan owes it to his teamates, most of whom are like family and a city of a million+
Duncan owes his wife, who is giving him a child. Like family and family are not the same.
And if she is due any time now, the odds are actually pretty good.
By saying this...you are wanting Tim to choose his team over his family.Quote:
i dont see why duncan would skip a finals game for the birth of his daughter, unless his wife is sick or has complications, i know he'd want to be there, but i dont think he'd want to let the team down and hopefully his wife would understand
he's not choosing anything, i wouldnt be mad if he missed the game, id understand but i would EXPECT him to play
his wife hopefully would understand and in the future he'll tell his daughter he was working, winning a fucking championship
He is choosing to be with his wife and child. You would expect him to choose a game over that?
Mookie your a complete moron.
If his child was being born, dont know what this has to do with PJ,
If he missed the game, I wouldn't think anything of it.
I wouldn't EXPECT him to be there.
He doesnt owe anything to THIS City, nor the team.
Family > Basketball
That simple.
Is Mookie the same moron that ripped up Glenn Robinson for not being at game 4 because his mother died???
"Sorry I wasn't there when you were born, sweetie, but Daddy was playing basketball."Quote:

i expect duncan to make the decision to rather watch his daughter be born later on tape than to leave a his TEAM hanging and all the fans hanging im not being an asshole i understand family, but how great would it be to fly back later that night after winning a game or possibly the championship and then see your daughter, talk about the greatest day of your life
daddy was working bringing joy to millions and making a fatassfucking pay check so that you and your grandchildren never haver to work a day in their lives
You obviously don't understand family at all.
dude...if you expect Tim Duncan to miss the birth of his first child for a basketball game...even the finals....you do not understand family. What you are saying is that an NBA Finals game is more important than the birth of your first child.
This guy should be banned just for this.
I'm down with Mookie on this one.
If there are medical complications, that's one thing; otherwise, the show must go on.
no glenn robinson could do what he wants, that was a death too, not a birth
ok yall are right im an orphan and ive been alone all my life
im sure some people see where i'm coming from
do any of yall remember your dad being at your birth?
he does owe this city and he does owe the team, i wouldnt scoff the guy if he missed the game, shit sorry he only gets $120,000,000 compensation
i EXPECT duncan to play and fly home after the game, god does he have to be there to catch the baby?
so then you also believe a game is more important than the birth of one's child.Quote:

Having family is not the same as appreciating them.
Why is there a debate over something that hasn't happened or may not happen at all? As far as Tim's baby goes, why not cross that bridge when we get to it? As for PJ, hopefully it's nothing too serious and that she will recover soon.
Wow. TWO people that put a game before your family. I think the rest of them have it covered, but I'm glad to see the majority see the forest through the trees. I actually didnt realize that Amy Duncan's pregnancy was ending so soon, and didn't even think about this possibility. As a Piston fan, I want Tim to be there through the end. To win a championship, you have to beat a team at it's best. On the other hand, I'm sure as much as a Title means to Duncan, a child means infinity more. Congrats to them.
What does he owe this city? And the members of the team would be the first to tell him to go be with his wife.Quote:
he does owe this city and he does owe the team
I don't think the child will know the difference.
Amy will.Quote:

Even if Duncan played what are the chances his mind would be on the game. Zero. Duncan's responsibility is to be with his wife. Just pray it isn't during an elimination game if she goes into labor.
sa is not paying duncan
the spurs are
Yes, Duncan would lose status in my eyes if he chose to play basketball over watching his child be born.Quote:

First off, STFU with the stupid Sean Hannity dig, just because your a flamin wacko lefty has nothing to do with this.
And to answer your dumbass question.
If He chose the game over his child and his wife???
Yeah, hed lose quite a bit in my eyes.

This is the finals. Duncan would play. Get over it.
t park why are you so enraged? nothing personal man
i didnt say anything political... and my original post, if you read it, was very understanding
i just think duncan is the kind of guy who want to play
Oy! They obviously didn't get out a calendar to plan the pregnancy around the playoffs, so I'm sure they've now planned for anything. Shit happens. I really don't know why we're talking about this when nothing has happened yet. This thread is about PJ and his wife and that's where our thoughts should be.
they get it from the PEOPLE, not the city.Quote:
ducks the spurs get their money from the city of san antonio
Whats your point.
Once again, he doesn't owe shit to the people of San Antonio.
Its a fuckin game, not life.

I can almost guarantee you she will not. Have you ever seen a woman in labor? :lolQuote:

But it's not very likely, and I for one would think it extremely odd if he chose to play instead.
I wouldn't call him that. But I would definitely think he had made the wrong decision. I can't imagine that she would feel a game is more important than the birth. She might say he should play, but I'd be willing to bet she'd be lying to make him happy (as women do for their men).Quote:

YES GAMES
ahead of life.
Thats why.
Yes you brought politics into it by doing your stupid ass jab at Sean Hannity.
So STFU and support Duncan when he does miss a game for his wife.
I just can't imagine that anyone would have a problem with Tim missing a basketball game -- any basketball game -- for the birth of his first child. Tim doesn't owe a damned thing to the city of San Antonio; he has amply paid most of us back by bringing such unprecedented joy over a basketball team. If you demand more than what Timmy has given, it's time to re-examine your priorities.
Timmy missed a "crucial" game in the 2002 playoffs when his father passed away, and everyone understood. Popovich told Tim then to do what was best for Tim and his family. Timmy came back for Game 5, but nobody on the Spurs roster or in the Spurs organization would have batted an eye if he had chosen to stay in St. Croix. He deserves the same consideration now, should the birth happen to coincide with a game.
It's a child, people; basketball is only a freakin' game!

I heard rumors that duncan played worse this year then last year
was duncan's mind was on his kid and wife
yes tpark from the residents not the government, way to further explain what i meant
anyway its cool but dam this is pretty heated
do not talk about the following things at the dinner table
religion
politics
if tim duncan should play in the finals if his wife goes into labor and just fly right home after the game on a private jet. or just skip the game
I'm sure they've discussed all this already. And whatever they've decided, I'm cool with it.
Honestly, my husband being there (which he was) was the least of my worries. I didn't want him comforting me, I wanted a fricking epidural. STAT!
I really don't think the residents of SA would think badly of him. I am one and I wouldn't.Quote:

If Tim is able to bring it through these finals, knowing what the impending birth of a child means - and then the exhausting aftermath, then I will be suprised. He is bound to be distracted and torn right now - forget about the labor; he's talking to his wife, she feels like crap (it's summer in SA - and she's probably + 40 - 50 lbs - and it HIS fault!), he wants to be there for her, and because of this 2-3-2 BS he's away for an entire week!
Major, major, major distraction. And don't talk to me about professionalism, or focussing on the job at hand - this is his family, his love, his first born we are talking about - hell, most of us are so obsessed with the Spurs right now we aren't doing OUR jobs - we're doing this!
in my case...you would be wrong.Quote:

Ditto
PEOPLE SIGN UP TO JOIN THE MILITARY THEY SHOULD HAVE thought about that when they did it. They might be over seas when if they got their wives or girlfriends pregnat. Everyone knows what makes kidds....
Damn those NBA players for having sex 9 months prior to the finals.

we'll see, youd think i was talking about roe vs wade or something, dam
$.02 - If it were, say, Ben or CBill facing the same decision, I'd expect them to put family ahead of the game, ahead of the team, and way ahead of my own petty wants as a fan.
That said, if TD actually has to make that choice, I'd like to see the game postponed (yah, like the NBA would let that happen :rolleyes ) ; if the Pistons are going to repeat, I'd want it to be against a full-strength Spurs team, and if they're not capable of taking the series with Duncan on the floor, then they shouldn't.
And health, healing and best wishes to Mrs. C.
Oh, and GO PISTONS!

of course its ok
i just thought tim would choose to play
Well maybe when you are married and having the birth of your first child you will think differently. It's just a personal decision, nothing for anyone to judge.Quote:
