Duncan had 20 points on 10 shots, he did what he could with his incompetent teammates that can't get him the ball down low..
please show the up for game 5.

He had midgets guarding him for most of the game.
Duncan showed up tonight. This is a stupid ing thread. Some of you can't help yourselves and just have to hit the submit button on some truly stupid takes.
And? Duncan was fine tonight. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a pretty stupid basketball fan.
Tim should ask for some help from the GM, cause there are too many bigs with a vagina on this team.
He scored 20 points on 10 shots..
All of his turnovers were on plays where he was put in a horrible position outside of the paint against an aggressive defense..
No just Manu.. Actually bench Manu...
Keep Manu on the bench.
timmy was our top scorer tonight.
We can't win with just THAT. TP is injured. Manu is ed up. We rely too much on the Three Brothers, that's actually very sad.
Timmy needs to dominate and I mean 26/12/5/3. Dominate. Some of you are delusional if you think we can win with just that when our best players injured and the supposedly 3rd best player is playing like he doesn't even deserve to be in the d-league.
I'm not even asking for Manu to score 20 points, I just need him to not play like a middle schooler.
Yes it's not Timmy's fault that the team is like that but he doesn't have a ing choice. Carry the Spurs like you've done for your entire career TD because relying on an injured Parker and 3 ball is unlikely to work.
2 games, Tim and Manu. 2 games.
so foolish what you said.
Manu is done, you couldnot on him.
Tim cannot get ball when he ask. so his points is NOT all on him.
I hope I can bump this after game 5 tbh.
And getting double teamed like he's in his prime. Dude is old and will get tired. Pounding the ball inside every time he has possession is asking for suicide.
That's the problem. They don't even pound it inside the post to Tim. How many possessions did they do that? Less than 5? 3?
It's because it isn't working. He needs to be effective in defense too, and by that he needs not to get worn out. This is the logic behind passing the offensive burden to Tony and shooters. I hope he can pound it inside the paint every time, but he has limitation. It's part of being old. We have to accept it.
Really? It isn't working? How can you tell when at the times Tim did post up, he scored.
And for "the getting doubled" part, Timmy getting doubled could only help the Spurs tbh.
Tim's hands were uncharacteristically bad tonight
simple plays like Splitter tipping the ball to him turned into fastbreak points for Miami
his rim defense was also way too slow tonight
offered no help and got torched on the perimeter
he hasnt played a complete game this series yet and he should no excuses
after going through Dwight/Bogut/Gasol you would think he could put up better numbers then he did going vs them
It worked a bit, but not as effective as a coach wants it to be.
Could help? Have you seen those TO's because of the doubles? Pop should make adjustments in spacing, because as far as I know, Tim is a great passer, but he can't do it in Game 4 because of those doubles.
Are you kidding? Anyone who thinks getting doubled is a bad thing is an idiot. That's the gameplan of teams who have a legit big. Pound it to that big let him have his ways so when the opponents start doubling him, a man will be open from 3.
And Tim had 3 turnovers. 1 or 2 coming from a bad pass. It's not because he's getting doubled that he turned it over 3 times.
Sure let Tim shoot contested 18 footers all the time than feeding him in the post. It will be more effective.

1. Give Tim the ball, get doubled, find open team and shoot an open shot.
2. Give Tim the ball, pound it inside and abuse Miami's big.
Tim Duncan is 37 years old, anchoring the Spurs defense against, arguably the best team in the league. He can do that, but does he have the energy he had when he was in his prime? He will be worn out by doing that multiple times. Again, this is the reason why TP9 is our #1 offensive threat. Please, accept the fact that Tim is old. It's 2013 not 2003.
Also, If you can watch the replay. Whenever he has the ball in the post. See how the Miami made the adjustment of not just double teaming him, but also playing the passing lane. Corner 3 has been shut down, pass back to TP or Manu is almost impossible. Only thing he could do is a cross court pass to the wing, which is what Miami wants because they can easily go for a steal.
I know what you feel and want, pare. we can try what you want, but we have to be realistic. Wish us luck in game 5.
They need better play from Duncan and Ginobili for sure, but a bigger issue is Tiago Splitter getting consistently blocked, stripped and generally punked by guards when he goes up with the ball.
If you can't finish one foot from the basket, then just kick the ball out. His stretch of four or five plays in a short time getting owned turned the game. Locate your balls Tiago.
Duncan was fine. The problem was with the ballhandlers. They didn't give him the ball enough and with good enough situations
Yes and we can't win with Duncan playing just "fine" especially with an injured Parker.
I know Duncan is 37, but he just went through Dwight, Bogut, Gasol and Randolph. I refuse to accept even a 50 year old Timmy getting outworked by Bosh.
