Where have you been? The knee problems aren't "all of a sudden" and if you can't see that his knees are gimpy, then you obviously don't watch many Spurs games.
Have you watched any of the games lately, believe what you want but You are getting 0% from Timmy now. I dont buy the knee problems all of a sudden. Excuses plain & simple. Duncan plays soft, he has no athletism in his body. I would not even be having this thought if he should just a glimpse or heart or fight in his game but he doesnt. And that bothers me. Minutes can be up just as much as he gets now, like Ginobli.
I am a big fan of Tim Duncan, but a bigger fan of the Spurs.

Agreed Bowen should be in starting lineup, when and if he lucky enough to come in the game, there really is no one to sethim up for his shot. We know he is not the best dribbler in the game so he cant slash to the basket, or create is own shot. So Starting has worked in the past.
This is just stupid. He's averaging 19 and 10 over the last month.
I think Pop is just making a choice between what he (not me) considers today as an average defender with no offense skills (Bowen) and a below average defender with good offense skills (Finley). Regarding Hill he seems Pop won't trust a young player for the PO.
by sudden i mean last 2 weeks. And like i stated earlier believe what you want!! truth is in the play... i dont care if i had sore knees or not i would be out on the floor getting more than 6 pts in a game. I have played ball and played with twisted ankles, sore knee and produced more. What all it comes down to is if you have HEART, FIGHT. Last night he should none and that bothered me and should bother spurs fans.
Now back to BB!!! Anyone
And what choices is he making when he plays Udoka and Vaughn?
I still don't get how any Spurs fan can think that Duncan doesn't have heart. It's Duncan's heart, Duncan's fight, that have brought four Championships home.
Don't worry duncan228, the guy isn't a Spurs fan.
Then it makes sense. Thanks Kori.
Last two weeks
Points 17.9
Assists 2.6
Rebounds 9.6
Blocks 1.1
Next?
No, I don't think he's even given up on Bowen's D. I think he's just making a choice of offense over defense. I just think that he's decided to let this team try to win with offense (huge mistake in my opinion). That's the same reason Bonner starts and why they'd pick up a guy like Gooden.
(I feel like I'm repeating myself... I typed nearly the same thing last night in the other thread(s) about Bowen. Sorry.)
I agree, but someone at News4 told me that Bruce is finished and has not done anything for us this year and isn't even capable of doing anything for us this year and that he's the same as Finley in regards to Defense.
You'd think his track record is long enough to go back and evaluate the poor results when he tries to overthink the situation.
That person is stupid. Of course, the coach of the Spurs seems to agree with him...I agree, but someone at News4 told me that Bruce is finished and has not done anything for us this year and isn't even capable of doing anything for us this year and that he's the same as Finley in regards to Defense.
and he's playing at 70%, let's hope he'll be > 85% for the playoffs.
That person is the Producer at News4
If that's the case then Pop is insane, tell me what does Fin bring at the offensive end that Bowen doesn't? the only thing they can both do is to hit the wide open jumper.
Bowen needs PT asap. I hate seeing this mad chemist approach by Pop. I understand why he is doing up, but try something else this late in the season.
Why not pick our playoff team right now, play that rotation from now on and stick with it...fail or not cuz right now our players are not in rhythm. I don't see them getting into a good one with this rotation experiaments.
TOugh position to be in right now. I feel for our team.
He doesn't trust Hill for the POs he likes vets ! He tried Mase at the point and even a stubborn Pop realized it failed, with this logic he injected JV cauz the guy knows the playbook and thats it.
As for Udoka, when you consider Bowen finished (Pop not me), hairston not at nba level, manu injuries, what are your other options ?
I bet bruce Bowen could'nt even guard The "Ice Man" right now. Tim could gaurd Greg ostertag right now.
Im just venting some steam here!!! I am sure SPURS should have their act together play 2nd round of playoffs
I have said this before and the fans agree, Bruce bowen should thank the Spurs for whatever success he has had, cause if it wasnt for the SPURS he would be the most famous Basketball coach out of cal state Fullerton.
Pop or Bruce ?
Bruce was already one of the best defenders in the league in Miami. I'm sure he would have had a long NBA career, even if he didn't come to the Spurs. He was a big part of the le years, and he took paycuts twice to help keep this team intact in the last few years. Have some respect.
I'll let you pick!!
I respect the those who deserve respect its not given its earned. I respect his character and his passion for the game. He is the model of (what a leader should be) of what it means to work hard and make your dreams come true. But as a basketball player when he he's on the floor you are playin 4 on 5 and thats a fact.
And as a fan you have the right to make that opinion. And he has never been offered top money to play for Miami or the Spurs.
