Did anyone ever say Amare surpassed Dirk (whoever did has mental problems)?
Right now Dirk is the best PF in the league, overall though Duncan is better. If Dallas merely makes the playoffs he's an MVP candidate.
WHat's picking on? What about David West, Brad Miller and Andrew Bogut, are they a foot shorter than him also?

Rasheed Wallace is overlooked on all of these. If he had a different mentality, he would probably Rival Duncan as best PF of all time.
The Green Ranger was cooler than the White Ranger.
Great. Everybody is en led to an opinion.
Offensively, sure. But defensively Dampier is taking care of the other team's big, and grabbing rebounds and manning the paint as best as he can. That takes a toll and I sincerely think Dirk can't really do it. If Dirk had to do that too, I doubt he would look as good as he does.
1.Tim
2.Othee
3. Duncan
4. Tie : Dirk, Booze, KG, Scalabrine
That's because Damp is a premier interior defender. Dirk isn't. Does Duncan take long jumpshots for the Spurs? No, because that's his weakness. He has them like every other player ever.
Actually, he does, and he hits a pretty good amount (not necessarily as high as Dirk, however). That said, Duncan prefers to post for obvious reasons (commanding a double-team, and-1 plays, etc).
I'll say TD's most glaring weakness is his free throw shooting. He's been very inconsistent on that aspect.
If I had Duncan and Dirk on my team, I know which one I'd want taking 15ft.+ jumpers and which one I'd want in the pain.
If I had to pick between Duncan and Dirk on my team I know which one I would have... and it's Duncan hands down, no questions asked.
good for you.
Dirk is playing at a higher level right now than any other pf.
Why are so many people getting their panties in a twist over who;s playing better "right now"
Let's just acknowledge that
1. Duncan is better than Dirk. No one is saying he isn;t so calm down Spurfan.
2. Dirk is playing at a high level right now, carrying a ty team on his back
Now let's all hold hands and be friends again.
faawk you dim tuncan is teh best!
Dirk is playing better offensive ball than Tim right now. Nobody with a brain can/should argue that.
Do you really mean Dampier???
He can only give you oe good game out of 5 or 6. no one say Dirk is better or close to KG, TD defensively. But he did try his best to help Mavs offensively and defensively. I am sure lots of stars would have give up this team, but Dirk did carry mavs on his back.
I disagree. But whatever floats your boat.![]()
He might actually play better offensive ball overall too. But the game is played on both ends of the floor, right now or at any time. And when you consider both ends of the floor, I think TD tops any PF, right now.
I think this is what this thread really meant. Nobody can argue with Tim's overall career.
I'm actually not worked up about this at all. And I do think Dirk is playing at a high level. I don't think he's playing at a higher level than what TD is playing right now, but I think he's definitely playing at a high level.
How many times do you have to say that till you think you get your point across?
As many times as people reply with a different point from the one I'm making.
Now, why do you care how many times I say it?
He does, but Dirk is not a terrible defender by any means. He will never be All-NBA Defense or whatever, but he does a good job on any non-elite PF. The scouting report needs to be updated.
