Nobody agrees with me?
I love Timmy as much as the next Spurs fan but tonight was just not his night. It seemed that as soon as the 4th quarter came around, he literally missed every single one of his shot attempts; including those in overtime. This really bothered me. Perhaps he was tired. Maybe we should have put in Splitter for a bit to relieve Timmeh. But if this team is expecting to go anywhere, players like Timmy are gonna have to make these shots in crunch time; regardless of the situation.
Just think: If even ONE of those shots Timmy attempted in the 4th went in, we'd be up 3-1 in this series and that jackass Mark Jackson would be scratching his head on how the he screwed things up again. God I hate Mark Jackson.

Pop played him the last 15 minutes of the game. He was tired
duncan was fukin garbage on iso. he was done in the 4th. its game 4 and he is already giving out.
We blew that game in a perfect storm of bad shooting, poor officiating, and turnovers.
Duncan was horrible, -23 tonight, but that's because usually he was the only big in. Pop playing Neal over Splitter was just horrible and ruined Duncan.
Bogut was pretty agressive with him in the post. Plus he's old.
I still trust him with the ball at any point in the game.
Bogut played him well 2nd half.
Duncan is pretty average on ISO's at this point of his career combine that we the fact that he's playing against Bogut... Looking back at today's game, He forced a lot of shots and hoged the ball way to much.
The reality is that, this team is way to scared to try new things. Sure you see it in the regular season but in the post-season, we're still trying to win championships with our big 3. I hate to admit it, but it's not going to work.
We've to blame pop for this. Gassing him out battling alone.
In the last half of the 4th quarter, the Spurs had one layup attempt, by Gary Neal, which went in. Tired teams shouldn't shoot jumpers, and it's all the Spurs did.
It's harder to shoot layups when you have 4 guards in. I still can't believe Pop took Splitter out early in the 4 and put Neal in. One of his dumbest decisions in his career.
Game, set and match. Partially.
Quick turnaround between Game 3 & 4 finally caught up with Duncan. I thought Pop would try to manage his minutes more, but the Warrior comeback changed the gameplan and TIm and Manu both had to play extended minutes. No worries. SPurs will bounce back in Game 5.
Agreed on all points.
