Pretty sure someone said he liked playing GS as well.

Perhaps the soreness occurred after the Laker game?

Splitter, one of the most overhyped players in ST history. He replaced the defensive cancer that is Dejuan Blair, and it made him look like some sort of anchor in fans' eyes. He set good picks and that's about all he could do.
Dude was a liability on both ends against Ibaka, Griffin, the Heat, etc
Teams were always 1 block away on a Splitter layup from going on a 10-0 run. I don't miss that injury plagued puss

I imagine the official beginning of the Boban era will require a playoff upset like the Splitter era did.

Shitter didn't earn Pop's trust b/c he was injured during training camp before his rookie season meanwhile Boban is in Blair's situation except he has to play behind West/Diaw instead of Bonner.:lol
Aside from suffering injuries leading up to his arrival at Spurs training camp, Shitter would suffer another injury which forced him to miss training camp. Throughout the season, he would be hobbled by injuries and was put through the traditional coach Pop rookie routine. You know, play one night, then sit the bench the next two games, then play five games in a row, etc. Shitter would go on to appear in 60 regular season games, logging just 12 minutes per game.

Shitter was a good compliment to Manu/Diaw meanwhile LMA only compliments the cancer that is Porker.:lol

That was b/c Terrance Jones:lol & Montrezl Harrell:lol were playing PF since D-Mo was injured along w/ Capela moving to center when Howard is out of the lineup. Josh Smith destroyed West when he was w/ the Clippers & LMA had a tough time against Capela until he grew a pair in the 2nd half of their most recent matchup.:lol

Re: Injury Report: Duncan Out Again Tomorrow Night vs Rockets
Fuck!! The other wheel is officially going. This is likely his last year and if he can't get it on track forget the title.. Not ever happening..
Especially troubling considering his minutes are so low.. He has hardly had to play of late..
-
Re: Injury Report: Duncan Out Again Tomorrow Night vs Rockets
Doesn't matter. The Spurs just skip a beat without him. - Spurs fans

Re: Injury Report: Duncan Out Again Tomorrow Night vs Rockets
Tim will be 40 by the time playoffs start. He's old. His knees take longer to recover. Any hint of soreness will cause Pop to rest Duncan. Duncan will be fine.

Re: Injury Report: Duncan Out Again Tomorrow Night vs Rockets
I hope TD is alright and that it is nothing too serious.
His leadership just cannot be replaced. He's everything to the Spurs. That's one reason why he's my favorite player of all time. Tim just being on the court, his mere presence just makes a big difference to how the team plays against the best teams in the NBA. He gives his teammates extra confidence and he's always there on the last line of defense.
Kawhi has got a long, long way to go to get anywhere near Tim's current leadership or prime Duncan as a player in general. Aldridge, I'm disgusted with after that Warriors game. Not sure if I even want to talk about him at this point.

Re: Injury Report: Duncan Out Again Tomorrow Night vs Rockets
Does anyone know what the issue with Tim is? There are varying degrees of knee issues.
But, I don't think this is really a surprise to anyone. The surprise is it hasn't come sooner. Tim has done everything he can to help transition the team away from him. It's just that...well, there's only 1 Tim. :lol
"If we'd just had Tim vs. ----" Think we might be hearing a lot of that for the next millenia or so :)

I'm going to have to find something else to do and not take the games seriously at that point. A completely different hobby or something as I don't think I'll be able to take watching that kind of stuff.

lol. That's exactly what I did in the 70's and 80's. We always had a decent regular season record..and always folded in the playoffs. As a Spurs fan, it was hard to watch. I took up playing ball. Maybe next time it'll be pool :lol
But, not quite yet :)

Re: Injury Report: Duncan Out Again Tomorrow Night vs Rockets
TD is old, this we know. With the Aldridge signing last summer, could you say you expected some of these? He's almost in Shaq-Celtics territory. But at least he can make it up the court.

Re: Injury Report: Duncan Out Again Tomorrow Night vs Rockets
We need an Alpha personality to replace Tim. Lamarcus aint it.
