Spurs: Duncan really hasnt had that many "great" games relative to other greats...

[spurraider21]

SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN!!!!

Ive proven my point, I think. The fact remains Duncan hasnt had many great games relative to the others.

I consider le clinching games to be the greatest of them all tbh

No, Duncan is boring during the regular season so Spurs fans want to throw out regular season games when comparing to other players (who arent boring during the regular season).

It aint their fault Duncan cant light it up on a nightly basis!

Duncan prevents the other team from lighting it up on a nightly basis. Something Barkley never did since he was a midget big man and one of the laziest defenders in NBA history.

The only thing I want to see out of Duncan during the regular season is for him to emerge from it healthy and ready to play when it matters most.

Duncan coasts and rests in the regular season, tbh.... maybe if your boy Barkley had saved his energy for the playoffs, he would have rang instead of being a career choke artist

Shaq and Hakeem were able to do it in the regular season, playoffs and win championships.

Duncan didnt.

[ambchang]

Ive answered this like five times already.

You need to get over it. YOu can still like Duncan if you want.

No you haven't. You said Jordan had more good big man games than Duncan, but is now changi your tune to having more 40/10 games. Which really doesn't say a whole lot.

But Shaq and Hakeem did! Whats Duncan's excuse now?

How come Duncan couldnt do what they did?

So far, Duncan's excuses include:

1) Pace
2) respective point guard (my fav)
3) Duncan doesnt care
4) He plays defense so he doesnt have energy for points/rebounds
5) Deflect to other DSF thread.

What else ya got?

lmao 7 pages of text later and finally we get to the crux of OP's assertions - "duncan is boring"

at least he hasn't baited any spur fans into using the rings argument yet

[ambchang]

Shaq and Hakeem were able to do it in the regular season, playoffs and win championships.

Duncan didnt.

But both Hakeem and shaq had more regular season games than Duncan. Which directly contradicts with you throw out playoff games because Duncan played in more of those (which has been proven to be false)

Not really. The original point of the thread was looking at how many "great games" each player has had.

It didnt turn into a "boring" thing until midnight INSISTED that reg season shouldnt count!! Since Duncan has such few big regular season games, throw everyone else's out too!!

Too funny! Maybe we should throw out Stockton's assist record since so many were in the regular season.

[midnightpulp]

Shaq and Hakeem were able to do it in the regular season, playoffs and win championships.

Duncan didnt.

Do what?

Duncan has more 25-15-3blk 50% shooting games than every big man not named Hakeem or Shaq since 1986.

What's your argument exactly? That Duncan isn't as good as those two? Even if he isn't (and many think he's not), he's still a superior player to Chuck. And that is the source of your ass pain.

I didnt say "throw out playoff games". ALL of my queries include both playoffs and regular season (since they should both count when looking at how many great games a player had).

btw - Duncan played in a lot more playoff games than both Barkley and Garnett.

Deal with it.

Shaq was one of the laziest superstars of all time with a notoriously bad work ethic, really just a poor example of an all-year hard worker

Hmmm, I wonder why. Could it be because he was perhaps better?

Not than them combined, and guess what, in Barkley and KG's combined 250 playoff games to Duncan's 193, they never once achieved a "great game" of 25-15-5a-3blks.

Duncan has done it 7 times. Most all-time since '86.

Take off the "playoff" filter, pussy:

1 Shaquille O'Neal C 34
2 Hakeem Olajuwon* C 32
3 Tim Duncan F 24

Duncan gets the bronze again!!

[midnightpulp]

Let's pop up the scoring to 30 points.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/...5&order_by=pts

Duncan doubles up Hakeem + 1, and has 5 times as many of those "great games" as Shaq.

Spin for me some more.

I hate to go for the cheap burn, but I understand why DSF focuses so much on the regular season. It's the only time the Suns were any good.

Im not "focusing" on either. MY queries include both.

Yours dont.

Youre trying to HIDE Duncan's career of "meh" games!! You cant blame the media for calling him boring when the majority of the time he was so unextraordinary.

Let's be fair, they were a good playoff team until they met the Spurs....

He averages 20 points and 10 rebounds for his career. Explain to me how that is "meh".

Here ya go:

meh
Web definitions
"Meh" is an interjection, often an expression of apathy, indifference, or boredom.

Duncan: The king of "meh"!!

ALWAYS fun to show up and bring truth to the masses. I really should do something more productive.

Okay you didn't answer my question. How is 20 and 10 an "expression of boredom"?
