Do you mean, "this is how he plays when not playing on two bad ankles"? Because I'm farely certain Duncan has but one "look"
He played a great game out there today. I'm truly jealous.
This is what Tim Duncan looks like when not playing on two bad ankles.
Everyone likes to talk about how Stoudamire went berserk on us in '05 but conveniently forgets that Tim was severely hobbled but still put up decent numbers.
Take note.
That is all.

He started off kind of weak, but when he started demanding the ball in the second half, that was a good sign.
At first, I was disappointed in his play-I thought he wasn't aggressive and WAY too slow. But then he looked vintage in the second half. Stoudemire looked good too even though he had a bad game.
Spurs in 6. They already have HCA. Come on, the Jazz and Warriors totally ed up my bracket, I need San Antonio to come through so I don't look like a complete imbecile.
He as at least two.
1)Disinterested
2)Mildly disinterested
I thought Tim was hurt last year?
Timmy played like the champion he is today down the stretch especially. Demanding the ball either making it happen for himself or his teamates.
that was plantear fascitis
He struggled with plantar fasciitis last year but in '05 he had two bad ankle sprains entering the playoffs. I don't even think he could get off the ground.
Good point. Additionally this is what a true MVP should play like in the playoffs. Compare Tim's G1 performance today compared to Dirk's entire performance against Golden State. There is no comparison. If Nowitski is eventually given the MVP trophy this season it'll be the biggest joke in NBA history.
I must have a bad memory...
He was also pretty pissed off when that basketball hit him in the face.
Picture Duncan rolling on the floor, holding his ankle. He hurt it at the end of the Seattle game and the crowd was cheering his injury. He got up and killed them.
He was 3-9 in first half, missed some really easy shots, then he go going in the second half.
I think Spurs will be running the ball into Tim more than usula, if that's possible, and he will be taking it strong at Amare and Kurt. One defense on Amare is to get him in foul trouble.
I think I was at a GTG for that game...
That was the year of his Det. injury, when his ankle bent so far it made contact with the floor.
Agree. When you see Tim Duncan demanding the ball in the low post, you know for certain that he wants to help carry the team for a win.
I don't believe he is begging for the ball on that one.![]()
Yep, that one was nasty.
I need to come up with a response other than "yep".![]()
He started off weak because Thomas can play him prtty well. No Thomas, and he's going to kill Phoenix. Kill 'em.
I'll never get why D'Antoni doesn't play big this series. Marion/Amare/Thomas up front. It'll work better than praying the Spurs will miss buckets and all the rebounds fall nicely into the Suns laps.
Thomas runs a 20 minute mile, that's why.
Thomas is effective at defending Duncan. Way more than anyone else is.
Tim had a big series though i think he put up like 27 and 12 a game in that series, so even hobbled he still killed the Suns. Tim was awesome today he is still THE BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA!!
