lol U mad?
How does being the "lone enforcer" for about 300 fewer minutes weaken the ankle tissue, doctor?
If your ankle is weakened it is much more likely to turn on another player's foot.
Shove that medical fact up your ass, head.

Where did you get your doctor's degree at?
Common sense would tell you if you had any brains.

Tim turned his ankle by stepping on somebody's foot. Something that is quite common in basketball and a fluke injury.
Next.
Well, it's not a surprise you made up a university after making up all this other .
If I'm so full of then why is your ass all sore and blistered about my
un-medically supported opinion, huh? Why spend all this time trying to refute it?
You're the one who melted down a few posts back tbh.I spent no time at all trying tbh.Why spend all this time trying to refute it?
It was self-refuting because you posted it.![]()
Most of us have watched how the extra wear and tear on Tim Duncan in the past 4 years has taken its toll. It's because he has no help in the paint; this is plainly obvious. Finley, Bonner, Jefferson, Blair... they all have been used as power forwards next to Timmy and they all suck at defense.
This isn't just about a rolled ankle, it is a symptom of a larger problem.
yeah, but he had it easy until 2003 when Dave retired, so those years he got to slack off on defense cancel out the last 4.
Common sense.
Not common sense.
It would have been easier for Tim to carry the load back then when he was young and invincible. Asking him to do it in his 30's and at this stage in his career is the back-breaker.
They stumbled down the stretch though after that LA game, going into next season with a near 60 win team being the same will not work! They had bad interior D and relied on threes, that formula never works in the playoffs! Grizz got in the lane at will, eventually you will face a team like that in the playoffs whether first or WCF and it would be the same result.
The way Dallas was playing we would not have beaten them anyways this year, the team was not made up for a deep run and those who know the game knew it all along.
Pop and RC have both addressed the fact that they are looking for help in the post. I got the feeling, from RC especially, that we probably won't be seeing Tim and Tiago playing together very much because they're both playing the 5. There's no reason to think we can't improve going into next year. Standing pat is unlikely.
i still blame RJ more than anyone mentioned in this thread
Here's a link to the full interview:
Q&A with Manu Ginobili
http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...manu-ginobili/
No team that gives as big a role to as bad a player as Bonner has any shot at winning a championship. Accept it now, peons. Popovich has thrown it all away for that red haired bas .
lol Common Sense University medical degree
True.
Yet...only a few can see this...and apparently Pop never will...and if Pop ever does...or Bonner manages to somehow get in Pop's doghouse...
Pop will just find another mancrush....
Gee...can anyone be worse than....FINLEY>BONNER>________??????
And that's the difference between Parker and Manu.
Manu is our heart.
Thats right, fight till the absolute finish!
Chump, you need your own forum section.
Scrolling through ur redundant, antagonistic bull on a daily basis is ing ridiculous.
Everyday, i spend half my time on here scrolling through your drivel.
that is a waste of my time, esp. on a iphone, where i do most of my posting/reading.
and i have a lot less time to waste on a forum than you, quite apparently.
the least you can do is not needlessly post in a single line format so that it makes scrolling through your incessant whining a little easier.
thank you.
as for what Manu is saying. had he played the first game of the series against Memphis (and i hated that Manu basically had no say in that decision), we'd have won. no way Memphis comes back from 0-2 deficit. i think we would've beat OKC for sure. the Mavs would have been a toss up. it's usually pretty close with them. we weren't beating Miami though. that 30 point loss in Miami and the one against LA in SA told me the team wasn't championship material. Spurs defense just wasn't where it needed to be + they struggled to score easy post baskets.
the latter is something that hopefully Splitter can provide next year. Duncan struggled to score in the post against LA this year and at crucial times against Memphis as well. he's just not that reliable a scorer anymore. maybe next year he comes in with a better mid range game, but at this point in his career i doubt it. the Spurs aren't ever going to get the Duncan of old back. no franchise player on this team anymore.
a couple things that might compensate for that: Splitter showing that he can score in the post consistently enough so that essentially we'd have two solid low post threats in Duncan and Splitter. maybe he and Duncan both put up 13-14ppg. i don't think that scenario is a stretch. maybe closer to reality is Splitter putting up 10 ppg and Duncan staying at where he was this year.
one thing i hope to see next year behind RJ being traded is RJ developing some semblance of a post game (like Shawn Marion). with his body and size it's ridiculous that he hasn't, but RJ has made fortunes just on athleticism. he added a jumpshot last year. maybe next year he comes in with a post game. it'd be nice, but probably wishful thinking.
i've kind of lost a little hope on Blair. not sure if he's got the mentality or maturity to reach his potential. i think he'll be one of those guys that just never reaching his potential. i've got nothing to go by, just a feeling. but if he can come in next year much better, never no what can happen (but i said this this year, so i'm not relying on him).
good thing is the Spurs have got a lot of solid young talent. the core is old but Splitter/Blair/JA/Hill can all theoretically improve a lot ON PAPER. plus there's still this year's draft pick. whether they take small steps, no steps, or giant leaps next year we won't know til next year. one thing for sure is there's still that possibility so not all hope is lost.
Don't get any of those tears on your precious iPhone, .
