i respect the spurs as a team and both teams look quite even
i stated my honest opinion on duncan... not b/c of a loss tonight but b/c i truly think his legacy is overrated

pistons will win game 6 b/c we're gonna feed horry some kryptonite

and it's funny how you just came in here and changed the subject of how Duncan is overrated (some shit about his legacy, which is what?), got your arse handed to you on a silver platter and is now changing to another subject because you can't argue the first one.
And it's even funnier how you are going to get your ass chewed on this one too because the Spurs (along with most of this board) had the utmost respect for the Pistons and understood that the first two games were not normal games for the Pistons.

Duncan overrated??? Hun take a good look in your own back yard. Overrated is that chest thumping RasheedNONguaranteed that has yet to show his questionable talents in this series.

I fundamentally disagree with the idea that Timmy is overrated -- he's clearly one of the top 3-5 players in the NBA (if only because he's lifted his team to 3 Finals).

Timmy has also been a big-time performer in the tightest moments of Finals games in other years. He has been dominant in each of the Spurs title-clinching games, including his duel with Sprewell in 1999 and his near quad in 2003.

So, those who wish to point to 1 game and claim that he's an overrated player, we'll see . . . If one game can undo 8 years of greatness and clutch play in big situations, will you admit that the legacy is intact if Timmy has a great performance in Game 6?

I have no idea why people are so hellbent on tearing Timmy down.

HOLY SHIT!!

Tim Outrebounded And Outscored Both Ben And Rasheed COMBINED!!!!!!

HOLY SHIT!!

:owned :owned :owned


What a fucking moronic thread :stfu :idiot

Also did you not hear what Popovich was saying in an interview? He said Tim's ankles still get sore in the fourth quarter, and going in to overtime probably made them worse. His ankles probably were hurting pretty bad, thats why he missed the tip in.

Overrated by what standards would be a good question. If a Pistons fan were to go strictly by what gets said around here after any Spurs loss they might think that Duncan was already overrated and that he somehow stumbled his way into two MVP's while being the softest PF in the league.

Calling Duncan overrated, especially for how little respect he gets some times, is silly. With that said, the dude choked pretty hard in the fourth on his FT's. I don't really blame him for the missed put back since he hasn't had his usual lift for a while now.

Absolutely agree. Not overrated, but one of his weaknesses (FT shooting) is glaring and can tend to overshadow all of his otherwise great talent. And believe me his bad FT shooting drives me crazy!!

I just wish this guy was a little more consistent from the charity stripe...

He was just aweful at the stripe. Is he usually like that? I've never understood how players can be so bad at free throws. Horry saved him from being the goat.

Horry ripped your heart out and left it next to the 5 empty Milwaukee's Beast cans in front of you last night.

I wish TD was a little better at the FT line too...and at the 3 point line, a better shot blocker, a little taller, quicker, able to leap tall buildings, faster than a speeding bullet. Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird...a plane...it's TIMMY!

Damn, I guess I'll just have to settle for him being better than the entire frontcourt of Detroit.

Disappointing as that may be...

He is inconsistent. He went 15-15 in Game 3 against Phx...then 3-12 in Game 4. If he starts to miss, IMO, he tends to overanalyze.

Yes, always...and once he bricks front rim one time, that's where his shots will be hitting all night.

Your old lady drank the rest of my Milwaukee so I had to switch to Altes.

those are the same people that were saying how tim saved david's ass and now tim can't have a legacy without winning one w/out david. well this will be three rings and probably 3mvps, because w/out his consistency we would not be in this position...so to all the pistons who saw fit to finger the san antonio fans and media....i got a finger for you after game six....my index finger...oh ya you can still use your finger, you'll just have to use your index finger as well because you'll be number two....

ok, thanks. But what if I only have one finger? That could pose a problem.

Too late.. I sent her to the neighbors.

I wouldn't say he's overated but i think people are overating his performance last night. Whoever the guy doing the interview said something about his breaking out tonight. If Kobe has about as many points as FGA against Bowen, even though he's not as good as a percantage guy being a perimeter player as duncan, he's ridiculed as being shut down. If this was KG all of you guys would be on him for his poor scoring night. Last nights game was one big shot by Horry away from making a good night a crappy night for Duncan's numbers.

ROBERT HORRY PROTECTED TIM DUNCAN'S LEGACY TONIGHT NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS. I've never seen such a "superstar" or "arguably the best PF in the history of the nba" choke that much. He doesn't deserve to put his hands up and he should be on his knees giving horry some major dome because without rob right now the pistons would be up 3-2 and sportscenter would be talking about duncan choking and how he couldnt lead "HIS" team to victory.

But other then that... great win by the spurs although I do think the pistons outplayed them tonight... Horry was a phenom
i can honestly say that was the greatest playoff performance i've ever seen... yes even more than any jordan moments
and the thing i like is that horry didnt run back dancing or throwing his hands up because hes not cocky liek that
but if it was wade or some1 else they woulda been going crazy and i'd be hating on them right now but as much as that loss hurt... I have the utmost respect for robert horry
he seriously was superman tonight and he is the reason tim duncans legacy will still be great and why tim is not public enemy number 1 right now

Tim Duncan is the most UNDERRATED player in the NBA. You talk about a choke job on Timmy, well, what about the choke job on your entire team?

...you're saying that the Pistons are not that great.

Duncan had a couple bad games in a very hostile environment on his way to a third title (with Finals MVP awards) and playing against a freakishly athletic Pistons defense.

Losing last night doesn't mean the series was lost at all. "You're supposed to win at home". Pistons haven't won in San Antonio in over 8 years. He also had 26 points and 19 rebounds last night.

By the end of his career, Timmy could possibly be considered the G.O.A.T. We will just have to wait and see though. :spin

#1. This thread was started by a Piston's fan.
#2. It was after a Piston's loss.



No need to comment on this ridiculous thread. You'd have to be an idiot to take this guy seriously. You've all been had.

Just have to look at that game last night. Whenever Duncan was out of game, the lead would shrink in a big hurry. Can't shoot free throws. What can you do about it. Shaq can't shoot very well either but nobody will remember that in 25 yrs.----just his rings and his big play.
