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:
Tim is really getting better with age. He wasn't this dominant in 2008-2011.
timmy's gonna have a piss test, timmy's gonna have a piss test!
all due to dedication, diet and fundamentals imo
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.
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 ObertoQuote:

gotta love td, cant take these vintage td performances for granted
Is that not the most ridiculous way to qualify this milestone? Nice one ESPN/Associated Press.Quote:
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.
Fixed.Quote:

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
Incredible. Good to be a fan right now.
Proud of TD and the Spurs. Time to sleep in the River City for a week and enjoy some home time. Go Spurs Go!!!
absolutely ... whats with "Kobe scores 35 in loss to xxx"?Quote:

: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 scoresQuote:

His HEALTH is back at a high level.
and on a fricking road B2B.
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.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:
