    I'm not certain that Duncan is hurting. It could be a midseason lull that he has always gone through. Being older, his lulls are going to be more prominent since he's not young enough to retain an elite level without the pedal to the metal. Besides, he rebounded well this game, blocked shots, was able to hold his ground against Gasol and defend Randolph for long stretches of time. When he's REALLY hurting, that wouldn't be possible.

    Maybe his knee is hurting ..... but it doesn't really add up. To me it looks like his jumper is off, he's missing chip shots around the rim and his passing decisions are iffy. I think this next week at home will really be helpful, especially the two days off between Minnesota and Memphis. If his slump extends another week, then I'd probably agree it's time to be worried.

    He did appear to be gimpy tonight. I know I'm not the only one to notice, the Memphis announcers did too.

    He was going against the best frontline in the NBA and the best defense in the league, give him some credit, he played very well on the defensive end minus the two Arthur jumpers. I don't think it's time to work

    That missed dunk over Gasol, the flat jumpers, and that sequence where he was blocked twice by Gasol all showed his lack of lift, not to mention the general increases gimpiness while running the court. His post play has also reverted to 2011 form. I think I've seen him shoot a jump hook maybe twice in the last 5 or so games.

    Timmy also destroyed this front line in the last two meetings for what it's worth.

    Tim will be okay but i agree he needs some rest. tomorrow against the TWolves would be a prime time to rest him. Then he doesn't have to play again til Wednesday against the Grizzlies again.

    It's a concern but he's not the only one who is playing bad. Parker, Manu and Green had some bad lapses throughout the game. Parker singlehandlely lost that 4th qtr lead.

    from here on, it doesnt matter if he ac ulates empty stats, another ring, dpoy awards or whatever individual awards is not going to bump him up in the top10 players ever to play the game; even if he doesnt ring home wont even change anything...

    dude should just retire immediately now, so pop can hang up his boots....cause CHANGE needs to come sooner then later....

    After 15 seasons people are still worried about Duncan after 3 games.

    I'm basing my concern based on precedence. We all get that you're too cool to be worried about anything in January, but given Timmy 's past knee issues, I feel that the concern here is warranted.

    He'll bounce back against Memphis after having 2 days off. We remember how well he responded last time he had 2 days off and faced Memphis right? (not to say it's the Grizz, but 2 days off have proven to do him well)

    Last night, TD talked about how he's just in a scoring slump. And then talked about how it's January and how it's the dog days of the season blah blah blah. In other words, I think he's fine. Typical regular season slump we've seen him have every season of his career.

    I don't blame anyone for worrying about TD but judging by his comments and how Pop hasn't done anything to limit his minutes, I think it's safe to say his recent slump isn't as a result of injury.

    If anything his resurgence this season has to have taught everyone at least one thing...don't ever, ever doubt Tim Duncan.

    Thanks for the info, timvp. I didn't start this thread to bash Timmy , I was just concerned . This is good news.

    His feet may have left the ground on maybe two of them. Flat footed blocks aren't exactly a guage of a player's health. Glad to see he looks sharper though.

    Since when has Tim Duncan ever gotten off the ground? Dude hasn't been able to jump much since like 2000. He's missing a lot of chip shots man, I don't think that's because of his knees, he's just in a slump (which he even said). Trust in Timmy.

    Tim seems to have sporadic total mental blanks from a lack of concentraton and intensity. Probably bored. And he's developed this attraction for risky long passes. The risk and excitement overcome his boredom.
