Lets take a look at elimination games in the 05 and 07 playoffs - the years the Spurs won rings. By elimination, this means the last game of the series in which a team got eliminated.

2007 NBA Finals - Game 4

Duncan: 12-14-3 on 4-15 FG, 4-10 FT
FMVParker: 24-7-1 on 10-14 FG, 2-5 FT
Ginobili: 27-5-3 on 8-19 FG, 8-11 FT

2007 NBA WCF - Game 5

Duncan: 21-7-3 on 7-14 FG
Parker: 21-5-5 on 7-13 FG

2007 NBA WCSF - Game 6

Duncan: 24-13-1 9blk on 11-19 FG
Ginobili: 33-11-6 4stl on 11-17 FG
Parker: 30-2-6 on 11-27 FG

2007 NBA 1stRd - Game 5
Duncan: 23-12-5 on 10-19 FG
Finley: 26-4-1 on 9-14 FG, 8-9 3PT

Duncan was carried offensively. He was never the leading scorer in any of the elimination games during the 2007 playoffs. This is supposed to be one of his "the man" rings that Spurfan uses to put over Kobe, with him averaging 22-12-3 for the 07 playoffs - basically a Pau Gasol type line with an extra shot or two. But when Kobe averages 29-7-6 and 27-6-5 in the 01 and 02 playoffs, that is not as good as Duncan's 07 ring because he wasn't the man? Stupidity, but that discussion is for another thread. Duncan did not carry the team but I don't blame him, it's a tough thing to do. Parker and Manu had their moments in th elimination games. Duncan just sat back in the Finals in 07 and shot bricks but luckily Parker had it going not just in the elimination game, but all series long.

2005 NBA Finals - Game 7

Duncan: 25-11-3 on 10-27 FG
Ginobili: 23-5-4 on 8-13 FG


2005 NBA WCF - Game 5
Duncan: 31-15-4 on 14-24 FG
Ginobili: 19-8-6 on 6-15 FG

2005 NBA WCSF - Game 6
Duncan: 26-9-5 on 6-21 FG, 14-17 FT (Not going to cry about FTA like the other got did)
Parker: 14-2-3 on 6-13 FG
Ginobili: 13-6-7 on 3-6 FG

2005 NBA 1stRd - Game 5
Duncan: 18-11-5 on 8-15 FG
Parker: 21-3-7 on 9-17 FG
Ginobili: 18-9-4 on 4-9 FG

Finally! He had one game where he was clearly the best in an elimination game during the 2005 Playoffs. Funny how in Game 7 in the Finals he shot 10-27 and grabbed 4 less rebounds than Kobe did in his game 7. How can a post player shoot 10-27? 6-21 FG in another one, 6-21? Duncan did not fully carry his team inthr elimination game for this year, except once. Ginobili and Parker remained efficient while Duncan was building a brickhouse at times. 24-12-3 playoff average. Great numbers, but not all-time great for sure. Keep in mind he shot 46 FG% as a Center/Power Forward. Weak "the man" ring I say.

although this would be incredibly awful reasoning, this is great troll job material

lol gnsf mad

[HarlemHeat37]

Oh God, how did this reach 5 pages?..

[Clipper Nation]

Kobe's still working on ring #3. Sidekick rings don't count, brah.

In that case, he's still working on ring #1, tbh....

CWEBB & Pierce knew better.

tee, hee.

What does that mean, tbh?..

What does that mean, tbh?..

It means if CWEBB would have listened to Adelman, and if Pierce had listened to Rivers it wouldn't be 5-4 Kobe and you wouldn't be asking God how this got to 5 pages.

Ohhh, clever..

Boiled down:::

Kobe: 5

the tired old bag Duncan: 4

Holy , you feeling OK Thread? Your parrot is weak - he didn't reply to each and every one of those individually? Christ man, get yourself to a doctor - there's clearly something wrong with you...

I could just cry.

[Banzai]

Duncan doesn't win any rings without TP and Gino, Lebron doesn't win a ring without Wade and Bosh, Kobe doesn't win a ring without Shaq, Pau... can be used all around.

[midnightpulp]

You do know that Duncan shot 10-27 and grabbed 4 less rebounds than Kobe in his Finals Game 7.

lol 10-27 for a big man. Lol less rebounds than a guard.

You're pretty stupid, aren't you?

Their respective rebound percentages for those games:

Kobe: 17.3

Duncan: 17.5

You do realize rebounding can be greatly affected by pace/missed shots?

The Pistons and Spurs combined for 60 made FGs on 142 total shots.

The Lakers and Celtics combined for 56 made FGs on 154 total shots.

Meaning there were 16 more available rebounds in the Lakers/Celtics game than there were in the Spurs/Pistons game (and that's not counting missed second FTs, which the Lakers/Celtics game had more of, as well).

Also worth mentioning is Duncan was the leading rebounder on his team. Kobe wasn't.

Thanks for playing.

Duncan also had one more dime than Kirby in his ty Game 7.

Even when the two players suck in a similar situation, Duncan manages to suck a little bit less, coming out on top, as usual when we compare the two players individually.

[Halberto]

what a lame troll attempt

I wonder why he chose just 05 and 07? Probably because its the only years he could use.

People should always remember game 5 of the 2003 finals where TD almost got a QUADRUPLE F---ING DOUBLE on the road with the series tied 2-2.

doesn't get much more clutch than that

[Killakobe81]

Mid getting sucked in thought you turned the page on this chapter homey? Oh Deuce bring you out ofbid retirement?

[midnightpulp]

...

[midnightpulp]

Oh, and Deuce's favorite stat:

TS%

Kirby: .394 (against Paul Pierce. Don't even bring up Tony Allen, Laker gots. He played 5 minutes).

Duncan: .422 (against the best defensive front line of the decade).

See, this is why I'm retiring from the Kobe vs. Duncan debate. It's far too easy to annihilate Kirby fanboys, and I have a counter to every conceivable argument they can come up with. Not because I necessarily have encyclopedic knowledge of this debate, but because Duncan's obvious superiority over Kirby makes it too easy. I do commend Kirby fans for sticking with that ship as it sinks, though. Your dedication is truly remarkable.

But feel free to cite the 5 rings (team accomplishment). Satch Sanders has 8 of 'em.

He couldn't find a 6-24|Duncan|an NBA le isosceles triangle.
tee, hee.

lol 10-27 for a big man. Lol less rebounds than a guard.

Kobe wasn't being guarded by a duo of some of the best post defense in NBA history

lol cherry picking one game where Kobe had more rebounds when Duncan was going up against one of the most vaunted post defenses of all-time.

[Leetonidas]

and you can say whatever you want, but when the Spurs needed buckets in Game 7 in the second half, Duncan took over and went to work, meanwhile Kobe is getting his ass bailed out by his teammates while you cling on to his rebounds


he helped in other ways besides scoring

lol 6-24 in Game 7
lol "next jordan"
lol rapist

Actually it was in the closeout game, not in Game 5, making it more impressive

lol gnsf mad

if this wasn't a butthurt response thread to ambchang I would be inclined to agree, but this argument is old and tired
