Welcome back, Tim Duncan..

[Ice009]

I told ya all in the post game quotes from NJN that POP was letting TD know that he was not giving enough effort. It's Pops words that made TD start abusing ppl again.

Yes I do recall someone saying after that game that Pop's quote was directed at Tim Duncan.

Nice counter move by Duncan this game.

Last game Duncan tried to deploy his face up game against Gasol, either taking the jump shot or trying to use his jab step to create space to penetrate around him. Both were a lost cause due to Gasol's better lateral movement and length.

This game Duncan countered going to his post game with his back to the basket and was a lot more successful.This has gotten him out of the funk he's been in since the all-star break the past 3 games. Great game by Tim. Great past 3 games by Tim rather..

+1, I loved the moves today..he also used his left hand more often, Gasol was blocking him a lot when he forced it with the right..I loved how he actually used his strength against him, he can do that against The Big Ugly Racist any time he wants..

Let's face reality here...Tim Duncan is done. He's done.

Let's hope this reverse jinx continues.

I love how the three Lakers fans calling the game completely ignored how well he played and instead chose to whine about why the Lakers weren't up 50, getting every call, plus their usual slobbering over Gasol (to be fair, they did slobber over Ginobili as well). They seem to be cooling on Bryant some, to the point where they almost had the balls to call him out directly for not feeding Gasol the ball more.

If Duncan is relatively rested and healthy, is there a better big man in the game? I still think he's the choice. The season is grueling and if you're playing 4 in 5, I could see saying Howard or Gasol, but overall, when they're all at their best, are they better players than him? I don't see it (and I watch them all frequently).

great game by Tim ! Everything begins with him and will end with him.

Tim looking great. With a healthy big 3 and the supporting cast playing well this team can beat anyone.
