Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
Against the Nuggets on Tuesday night, Tim Duncan totaled 31 points, 18 rebounds, six assists and five blocks. The last time Tim Duncan matched those numbers during a regular season game was ......
Never :wow
At 36 years of age, Duncan is doing things he's never done before. Amazing.
Duncan has only matched those numbers twice in his career and both times happened during the 2003 playoffs: Game 1 of the Finals and Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

<3 Timmy. I'm gonna enjoy the FUCK out of his last few years! :flag:

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
Tim is really getting better with age. He wasn't this dominant in 2008-2011.

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
all due to dedication, diet and fundamentals imo

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
Maybe playing next to another skilled seven footer had something to do with it? It's ridiculous Pop waited this long to try the TD/TS frontcourt. We could be so much further along by now and TD wouldn't have wasted so much energy trying to cover for Blair.

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
MVP tbh
Losing 4 of 5 in December sucks but I think the worst is over schedule-wise.

Case in point, TD trying to carry Rasho/Nazr then played better playing with Oberto

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
Spurs 0-1 when Timmy scores 30+, tbh

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition

Lost in the setback was a milestone night for Duncan. The forward from Wake Forest eclipsed the 23,000-point mark for his career with two free throws with 9 minutes left in the third quarter.
He joined Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA history who went to colleges that were in the Atlantic Coast Conference to score at least 23,000 points.
Is that not the most ridiculous way to qualify this milestone? Nice one ESPN/Associated Press.

Fixed.

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
Tim Duncan was simply amazing tonight. Too bad his performance tonight will go unnoticed by the casual NBA fan because the Spurs lost so most people won't notice his stat line because of that. But damn, he was a beast tonight....:toast

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
there is not even a note on nba.com
If that was an old Jordan or any other old star it would be all over the site

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
Incredible. Good to be a fan right now.

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
Proud of TD and the Spurs. Time to sleep in the River City for a week and enjoy some home time. Go Spurs Go!!!

Now they will get some rest and practice time - the latter being is the main reason why Pop has not brought back Kawhi yet

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
Only 6 players ever had a 31-18-6-5 line or better (well, since the 85-86 season at least) and they are: D-Rob (x2), Shaq (x2), Duncan, Parish, Garnett and Barkley. A player can't scrub his way into that kind of line...

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
:king
His confidence in the post is back at a high level. I remember the past few season he had to settle for that outside shot cause he'd be getting blocked down there. The way he was putting it down last night was beautiful :cry
:worthy:

Well Kobe is always on front page no matter how much he scores

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
how many other players in the history of the nba were stomping ground at that age like he is now?

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
"His confidence in the post is back at a high level. "
His HEALTH is back at a high level.
and on a fricking road B2B.

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
I still don't know how this is possible. It's incredible to watch. We've seen the evolution of his game (extended further and further from the basket offensively), but his ability to still score inside, rebound and defend is just amazing. I really, really hope we get one last big playoff run for this group.

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
Let's see: Incredible stats in a loss. So this is what it's like to be a Lakers fan. Not sure I like it.

That he can still be such a complete two-way player at this age (health permitting) is really great.

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
I don't have any numbers to back me up, but this basically confirms that what really puts us over the top is the play of our role players. Tim and Tony have been pretty consistent this year, but the common theme in our losses seems to be poor shooting nights from the likes of Green & Neal.

Re: Stat of the Day - Tim Duncan Edition
Tim's health is better. It's really an easy explanation.

31 points on 25 shots from Duncan ain't exactly shooting the lights out, nor is 13 points on 12 shots for Parker.
