BECAUSE Duncan would have taken Dalembert one on one and go to the rack with his post moves.Quote:

Agreed, he was the only one who got things working for from all over the court.Quote:

The issue I have is that Spurs only go to TD when they can't hit their jumpers and initiate the flow via their guards. They have it ass-backwards. They need to dump it into TD and let him create.
I know this is only regular season but the Spurs are becoming too much like the MAvs....living and dying by 3's. Mavs have to do this because they have no low-post dominant player but the Spurs have TD down in the paint? WHy waste his talent until its very tight and the game is on the line?
Hopefully this game got Manu back on track. He was clearly the reason we started the season so well.
yeah, I hope he rides off this too, in his shooting confidence with that splint. You could argue that the game up until the 4th quarter was looking like another episode of the New York Knicks game.. so yeah, he definitely helps get the W easier for us.Quote:

I hear a b.j. in your future :toast
Personally I thought they played good defense.
There was good effort, the third quarter they just couldn't buy a basket.
This was one of their better efforts in the past couple weeks.

No, never mind, till we win it this year :toast
The defense was..... average. We did hold them down except for the third quarter, but we should have dominated this team on both ends.Quote:

If not, we would have been looking at another loss.
Duncan did have a steady game. He was getting double and triple teamed the whole game. So, to have only one TO was good. He was great on the boards and seemed to turn up the defense in the fourth when we made our run. It was not a glaring dominating performance and most fans would not have noticed his great play throughout the game. But this was a typical Duncan type effort. He puts in the work and quietly makes a difference in the game. The last few games, when the whole team has been struggling, Duncan remains steady. Gotta love him!Quote:

Unimpressive win. But a win is a win.

They held them to 19 while not being able to make a shot.Quote:

Holding any team below 20 in a quarter is good D.
Sorry they didnt hold em to 11 :lol
