I didn't see anyone else post this.

Chris Ballard of Sports Illustrated penned a wide ranging piece on Tim Duncan after spending some time with the future Hall of Famer. The piece attempts to shed light on a man that even after all these years of playing the NBA is still very much an enigma.
Ballard leads us through Duncan’s feeling about getting that infamous “DNP-Old” game, his friendship with Steven Jackson, being comfortable in his own skin, and how he thinks he wouldn’t have lasted that long if he had been drafted by the Knicks.
But something else caught our eye in this piece. It was the fact that, not Duncan, but someone close to him says that he absolutely hates Kevin Garnett.
5 His Buddy KGYou have to respect Duncan, not because he hates Garnett. The majority of the league probably hates Garnett too. You have to respect because he consistently beat Garnett.
Just kidding, as this might count in his favor. In fact, Duncan hates Kevin Garnett. Hates him the way liberals hate Sean Hannity. This information comes from very reliable sources, who talk about how KG has made a career of trying to punk Duncan, baiting him and slapping him and whispering really weird smack into his ear. They talk about how funny this is, because the worst thing you can do as an opponent is piss off Duncan. Then, as Malik Rose says, “he f—— destroys you.” Duncan’s lifetime numbers versus Garnett’s teams, by the way: 19.4 points per game, 11.6 boards and a 44–17 record, including the postseason.
Duncan is diplomatic about the topic. Asked if perhaps all those years battling Garnett have softened his feelings for the man, led to a Magic-Larry type of kinship, Duncan leans back on the couch in his hotel room and grins. There is a pause. A longer pause. Finally he says, “Define kinship.”

KG vs Tim for the le would be an epic showdown.
sorry, I just found it. My bad...
Spurs vs. Celtics - The Feud
Spurs vs. Heat - will Lebron Smeagol snatch the ring from Greg Sauroman
Spurs vs. Pacers - The Apprentice Hill vs. The Master Popovich
all good headlines as long as Spurs make it
it will be bad news for the celtics
I'd love to face the celtics, not only because they are probably a better matchup than the heat, but because of the kg - td / pierce - manu / rondo - tp rivalries. that, and one of my best friends is a celtic fan, and giving him grief only 1-2 times a year isnt enough
Would love a Spurs/Celtics or Spurs/Pacers finals
Yup...all 5 games of it.
It will be epically boring.
...and short.
Would have been better when Bowen was still on the team. Duncan vs Garnett, Bowen vs Rayray. Damn.
A truly Hobbesian series: nasty, brutish, and short....and short.
I never got why people were always so amped about Allen, because Bowen was always the e-Ray-ser. But if you don't have a Bruce Bowen handy, I guess he looked a little better.
I loved watching Bowen piss Allen off. Watching Ray fake-limp back to the locker room after an intervew was the greatest.
Spurs in 6. The series would have far lower ratings than a Spurs-Heat Finals though.
I'll never understand why any fan gives a about ratings or why it's discussed.
I would welcome a Spurs vs. Celtics finals. I think we crush that match up.
I think some people base the value of their opinion on how many people agree with their opinion? My best guess...
do you agree? please agree!
The Spurs would annihilate the Celtics. Duncan throughout his career has been better than Garnett. No comparison.
