or more like it was a blowout since midway through the 3rd quarter. we pretty much didn't need him tonight at all, tbqh.
There is NO WAY we're going anywhere in the playoffs with Tim playing at the level he's played since returning. Does anyone know if it's still a problem? The other day against the Mavs was the slowest I've ever seen Tim and today he finishes with 5 points and 5 rebounds. I'm thinking he's still injured.

that is why he should have kepted playing
5 turnovers tonight wtf
I guess tp needs to get him a dunk to get him going early next game
Tim is still hurting a bit, no doubt.
But if this team can get healthy, get Tim back to full strength, get Manu feeling good and back on the court, and Gooden gets healthy and integrates into the system we can beat the Lakers and get back to the Finals. You got to feel pretty in good about that.
A lot of ifs but Gooden brings us closer than we have been since that jackass in Memphis gave Pau away to the Lakers.
Tim usually looks bored against bad teams, which explains tonight. He also lets Joey take him out of games he refs, which explains Dallas.
It's unfortunate, but Tim just doesn't bring it every night. It has nothing to do with injury.
The team does not have playmakers when Duncan's on the floor, so less easy shots. Team needs Manu.
They actually weren't even posting Tim up in the first Q. Not even looking for him. It was just a ton of drive and kick jump shots, which explains why the Wiz kept it close for a bit.
he's got a nagging injury. keep him rested.
we have no need for him and an early game against a pretty good team on sunday.
He's fine.
Yep he is!
TD is human and he will be looking to breakout from his last three subpar games.
I think the tendonosis is an issue, I think it's here to stay. It's going to be a matter of severity on any given night. He just can't get the kind of rest it needs to heal fully during the season.
I do think he'll be able to play through it. And he'll rise when we need him to, he always does. Ankles, PF, he's shown us that nothing will keep him down in April.
Duncan is coming off an injury, that's all you have to know..the injury was knee-related, so it's obviously affecting his lift and movement..he needs a little more time to get back to the level he was playing at before the injury, which was dominance..
the mistakes tonight were all rust-related..
another thing about Duncan is that he has a lot of games where he makes his defender look good, even when he's healthy, by using some of his stupid moves that lead to getting blocked..it's like he gets bored..we've discussed this many times here..
he'll be fine when it matters..
On a purely selfish note, I'm so glad I saw the Clippers game.
Duncan's injury will probably last the rest of the season. He just has to play through it, but don't overplay him, unless it's in the playoffs and you need to give him big minutes. He'll be fine.
I think a great test will be on Sunday. He's going to have to go all out. We'll see.
hope td's ok with his knee
The Spurs are starting to remind me somewhat of Hakeem's Rockets post-championship years. A slow whittling away of ability and constantly pestered by injuries.
you'll wear out Parker if you rest Timmy (and he'll get rusty), these guys are holding on by the slimmest of margins until Ginobili comes back.
Hopefully Manu is back by the Minnesota game
Come on man aren't you going a bit overboard here?
Panic Mode?
Have you ever compared Duncan's numbers in the playoffs vs his regular season numbers?
Don't worry
He'll average 10 pts and 10 rbds in the playoffs
Yes, TD was looking sluggish and hesitant on offense. He seemed to have a lot less bounce than usual, which isn't much to begin with.
He just wasn't motivated to play against a crappy team
For only playing 18 minutes, 5 pts and 5 rebounds isn't horrible. There is nothing wrong with Tim. A game against the Wizards in March isn't nearly as important as a game in May.
