Is It Just Me Or Has Duncan Played Like Sh1t?

[dbreiden83080]

Uh yeah, 30 and 18 in game 1, 22 and 21 in game 3, 29 and 17 last game

He has totally sucked.

[dbreiden83080]

So what's the point already? By Duncan's standard's it hasn't been his best for reasons pointed out. The attention from defense, he's tired, his team isn't pulling enough weight.

It's a team game, a team win or loss. Duncan has been more than carrying his share. Why call him out?

Exactly, he played great against the Suns, he was just OK against NO, had a tough series but he has played very well against LA. FG% down a bit but he has done his part, we all know Manu is the main reason we are in this hole.

Tell ya what- you can have Boozer for him if that's how you really feel.

[JoeChalupa]

Duncan has been pretty consistent as far as I'm concerned.

[Thomas82]

It is just you. He has been by far the best Spur in the post-season (though he layed and egg in the Hornets series).
Ginobili on the other hand, has been probably the least productive of the Big Three.

I don't think he layed an egg in that series. Other than him playing with a fever, the Hornets were bent on not letting him get off.

[Thomas82]

Nobody said defending les was easy. For the Spurs, it's been impossible to this point.

Yeah, it's hard playing with a bullseye on your chest like the Spurs are this year. Having the le of "Champion" is like being rich and having a lot of money. Once you get it, it's even harder to keep it because everybody is trying to take it from you.

[atxrocker]

Had they taken care of business in game 5 vs New Orleans and won that in 6, gotten some time off between then and the western finals, things would be different, but oh well.

even in defeat, i see spurs fans are still not humble.

[GrandeDavid]

I've teased this before in other threads, but how come no one is pointing out how poorly Duncan has been playing relative to what we have come to expect out of our franchise player in the playoffs?


I haven't seen Duncan dominate a single game yet in this post season.

And what is up with all the missed layups and putbacks and bunnies in the paint?

I don't know, but that missing the bunnies is costing us games. Tonight, he rises.









Question.

[GrandeDavid]

Game 1 versus the Suns was back in April. Stay current.

You guys pile on Ginobili and Parker and Finley and Horry and Bowen, but why is Duncan absolved?

Numbers don't lie:

Duncan is posting playoff lows in FG%, FT%, Assists, Blocks and Points per game.

I don't appreciate the name calling. Learn some Popd@mn respect for those that have done more for this Forum than you will probably contribute to this world.

He's feeling the cricks and energy drain of being over 30, bro. He's been pounding the paint and boards for well over a decade now, including Wake.

[Anti.Hero]

His post game has greatly diminished. He settles for these weak fade-away hooks or whatever that bull is that he is throwing up more and more.

[Anti.Hero]

Yeah, it's hard playing with a bullseye on your chest like the Spurs are this year. Having the le of "Champion" is like being rich and having a lot of money. Once you get it, it's even harder to keep it because everybody is trying to take it from you.

Actually, once you have lots of money it is easy to make even more money assuming you are not a moron.

[Zero Point Four]

I don't know about Duncan's playoffs numbers in comparison.

But I can tell you that he still makes a very dramatic impact on a Lakers fan.

[JoeChalupa]

I've never seen so many damn flip-floppers as the Spurs fans are. One day Tim is the man, the next he plays like . Yeah, I'm sure we all are perfect every day.

[Thomas82]

Actually, once you have lots of money it is easy to make even more money assuming you are not a moron.

Yeah, that's true, but there will still be somebody there to try to take it from you in some form or fashion.

[Bob Lanier]

What the are meaningless points? All points are important in sports where the score is kept. Also, Tim has been excellent in this series. He's more than done his part for the Spurs. It's the other players that have come up short in this series.

I mean that in order for a big man to be dominant he's either got to be drawing 10 or 12 free throws every night or force the other team's defense to collapse so he can create for his teammates. Duncan's doing neither - he's just forcing up shots, and when he's defended by Gasol he's not hitting a very high percentage of them.

It's like the Spurs' defense on Kobe Bryant.

[Ghost Writer]

I like what I am seeing from Duncan tonight. He has that crispness to his game. Maybe no practice and facing elimination has brought out the best in Duncan.

[timmydidit]

lame thread. Duncan has been the most consistent in this series.. get outta here with your dumb

[tlongII]

Duncan has been playing great. He's just not getting enough help.

[Ghost Writer]

Thanks for jinxing it, jerks.

Now Timmy is missing everything in the 2nd half.

[MONTENEGRINO]

In 4 games vs. Lakers:
27,5 ppg and 18,5 rpg
I'd say HE COULDN'T BE WORSE THAN THAT...

[Ghost Writer]

Are you guys watching the same playoffs as I am?

Compare his playoff averages this year vs. his career playoff averages.

Wake the fvck up.

I've never seen Duncan miss so many point-blank shots.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

Timmy's shot goes Ice Cold in the 4th Q all series. I wonder what the % is for his 4th Q shooting because it's gotta be gawd awful.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

I've never seen Duncan miss so many point-blank shots.

it's brick after brick after brick.... I just don't get it. Even easy shots are off the side of the rim.

[UCantHandleTheTruth]

Duncan has had an underwhelming playoff aside from that huge game 1 against the Suns, whether the Spurs homers want to admit it or not.

There's no excuse for him not destroying a euro choker like Pau Gasoft. He has also had a bunch of 4th quarter no shows. You guys would be all over KG for playing the way Duncan is.

Nice turnover, right on cue, by Duncan.

[UCantHandleTheTruth]

Duncan doing a big time gag job at the line. He also allowed the biggest board of the game go to that soft Euro Gasol.

Meanwhile, KG was 6-6 at the line with the game on the line last night.
