Had one brace on. There was a segment where TNT zoomed in on Duncan and highlighted the fact that he was't getting any lift when jumping off of the braced leg. I'm hoping it was the layoff and not anything more......
Does Tim really look that bad or is it just posters exagerrating because they are anxious over the team's record? I haven't watched a Spurs game yet this season. Does he have the double braces on again?

He looks like right now, to put it bluntly.
He's just not athletic as we all know, coupled with not being in game shape and adjusting to the new team and the new brace. Tim won't be Tim for another couple weeks, minimum.
Non knee-sue
He SUCKS
seriously just get rid of it, he didnt play with it last season, why this season though? its not like he got hit with anything last season and offseason....either some has happened he hasnt told us yet....
Looks like ? really I wouldnt go that far I mean if your jus looking at last night or what?

ORB per 36 minutes
DRB per 36 minutes
TRB per 36 minutes

DRB%
TRB%
Steals %
Offensive rating
lowest TO per game
lowest fouls per game
lowest TOs per 36 minutes
he looks fine to me. same as last year. but maybe the brace is subconsiously affecting his jump/run.
anyway, this team has moved on from depending on Duncan to be 90%+
if we really want to go far the other big 2 and aquisitions need to step up
Duncan is fine, I don't believe in everybody's overreactions..
People seem to not realize that he didn't have any basketball action until preseason, and even that was limited..it's gonna take him a while, as you can clearly see by the fact that he's been trying the same one move for like 90% of the time so far..
Last night, he started switching it up in the 2nd half, and had immediate success..hopefully tonight he continues to mix it up, rather than just putting his head down and driving..
Tim Duncan was limping for a bit but now watching a replay of the game, I think he actually just got hit in the junk . . .
Ha! LoL. Yep, looks like Duncan sucks.
Realistically all we could expect from Duncan is the defensive presence and once in a while help in the offense.
As long as the rest of the team are playing well we got a shot
Timmeh just looks out of shape. He's not getting any lift in his shot. I think it'll take another month before he gets his mojo back.
Meaningless 4 games into the season
The sky is falling....
That would even make Superman limp.
I wouldnt go so far as to say he sucks...I would say the team is playing like and it doesnt seem many players are in shape...We have had too high of expectations out of the gate...Lets give it time...its only four games.
Let's see...
He hasn't been able to jump any higher than a piece of white toast since 2005 but that hasn't stopped him from going ALL-NBA and ALL-NBA D his entire career.
It's not him, it's the pieces around the big 3 and the rush to integrate them. They'll look great against bad teams and struggle against the good ones until it clicks...and when it does...well you've been warned, they're on a drive for 5!
Agree 100%.
Seems to happen to him a lot. From February 1999:
As far as the brace goes...Duncan went through several over the summer trying to find what was going to work best for him. He said it doesn't bother him but I think there is a learning curve playing with it. Everyday activities over the summer aren't the same as playing. I think he'll be okay with it, obviously he needs it or he wouldn't be wearing it.
He started his summer routine a month later than he usually does, we're seeing that on the court now. I'm not concerned, he and Pop said he'd be starting slow. The goal is for Duncan to stay as fresh and healthy as possible through the grind of the season so he can rise for the Playoffs. I believe we'll see his game improve over the next several weeks as his conditioning improves. I'd rather he start slow and end strong rather than what we saw last season where he started strong and faded.
to me he's the same old tim i mean he wasnt dunking last year like Kg or anything, hes quietly putting numbers up like always and playing defense, people are just thinking he looks bad because the team is out of sync
Duncan needs to substantially improve his mobility, if the Spurs want a shot at the le.
Right now, he just looks slow.
Did a lot of you spend the entire Summer watching videos of Tim from 1998 to 2005?..he hasn't been mobile and athletic for years now..the reason everybody is noticing more is because our overall team is worse..
KG looks the same so far this year, the difference is the help around him..
Ur an idiot.......
