He'll be ok.
He needs to be shut down for AT LEAST a few games. The Spurs won't get anywhere with him playing at this level anyway. The biggest question is will Tim's pride allow it. From what I understand Timmy usually begrudgingly sits on the last leg of a 4 in 5, so what would he say to the possibility of sitting out a few games?
Either way, I'm worried, because whatever type of funk he's in, be it physical or just mid-season fatigue, he's letting it get to his head. His body language has been alarming the last few games and many of the TOs have been surprising.
I'd like him to take a 1-2 week rest tbh. It would do us good in the long run.
He still managed to play impressive D (minus the Arthur open jumpers). I'm worried, but not pressing the panic button yet.
Let him rest until the a week before the end of the season - so he's not completely stiff. The guy has no strength left. Rest him!
YEah, he looked bad in the last 3 games... But i will wait a little.
He was playing at an absolutely elite level for the first quarter of the season...regression to the mean was inevitable. It would be nice though to give him some rest...too bad the Spurs employ two corpses where bigs should be.
I think it's a little early to press the panic button here. Pop should give TD a game off and then we can see how he performs afterwards.
I think it's part physical, part offensive rhythm. He doesn't look as spry as he did earlier, but his defense is still decent. It's the offense that has fallen off a cliff in these last few games. Can't make chip shots in the lane, can't hit the J with any consistency, holding the ball too low too long and losing it in traffic etc.
Would love to see him rest vs Minny and go beast mode vs Mem.
Spurs played 5 games more than the Griz so far in the season. They're one of the leaders in games played so far. Duncan will get the rest, don't want to press the button just yet.
He defense was pretty damn good except for a few lapses. Also Memphis is probably the most physical team in the league. Their frontcourt literally pounds other players. I think Tim just had an off night putting the ball in the hoop
sit him out against minny get him ready for the grizz on wed imho
We next play Saturday and Wednesday vs Wolves and Grizz respectively. If he needs a rest we can give him the Minni game off, thats a 5 day rest.
He'll be fine. Non-issue
His defense still looks noticeably better than the past few years, though

Can't expect him to play prime basketball all year. He's clearly tired and a step slow, yet he was able to come up with big plays defensively other than the slow rotations to Arthur. He's fine.
timmy just like the other clowns on this team who has won a ring, gets a free pass for every mistake they made
when will ppl still living in the past and live in the present stop forgiving clowns who have done in the past now living on a reputation...
Rebounds were there. Protected the paint like a boss. Was up against the most physical frontline in the west. Not gna panic unless this carries for 2 more weeks
Given his general demeanor and body language, he's either pissed the team is losing or his knee is hurting.
I'd rest him 2-3 games when we have a run against poor teams.
And lol at "panic button" in January.
Goes to show how important a new big is in the summer.
If we get a big time PF who can play with Splitter (West, Millsap) we can reduce the load on Timmy and sit him more games.
Yes, he does get a free pass for everything he has done for this team. Go root for another team, got.
He hasn't been playing well but he was in foul trouble early. Maybe it through off his game.
