Duncan can do whatever he wants. Doesn't matter what anyone here thinks.
Part of the reason why Parker is suxking is beXause we've been running way too many Duncan post ups lately..that leaves him standing in the corner and not getting in rhythm.

I'd rather they move the ball and alternate as facilitators/scores like the Spurs are known to do..
Occasionally throwing the ball into Duncan is fine, so is giving it to Parker to ISO, but they don't have to do it on 100 consecutive plays and kill the offense..
I don't think he watched the whole game. The offense went through Duncan and Diaw only after Parker could not dribble his way inside and jumpers failing, and 3pt shots not falling. Most points tonight were in the paint, as the shooters struggled.
need splitter back. he played much more of a role than people realize.
People have been complaining about Duncan-offense for a few games now, it wasn't just tonight..
Duncan is my favorite player of all-time, but he has been an extremely inefficient ISO and post player the past 3 years..
Duncan jealous of Kobe.
They say I worship Kawhi, but these Duncan homers...
Reminds me of Kobe fans who fail to see how he is ruining his team..playing Blind.
even I criticize kawhi.
Didn't have a chance to watch the game, but my guess is that maybe Pop didn't want to get into a shootout/running game with the Cavs and went through Duncan to slow the pace and grind the game on the back of our defense, which has been pretty solid this year.
Once the offense returns to form and we get healthy, hopefully it'll be back to space and pace.
Na I'm joking, but I'm sure that will change when our 4 role players come back. Our shooters are struggling and Parker is playing like a right now. Hopefully Pop doesn't run Duncan down by December tbh
Honestly, as long as we're winning games, I'm fine with Pop being in mad scientist mode. Let the Spurs experiment until April. I'd prefer opposing teams not getting exposure to our offense until the playoffs.
Parker just doesn't look like he has that same gear he used to
The D on Duncan has been atrocious. Teams have not even tried to help on him and have had bad defenders on him, especially tonite.
Im totally fine with him inside as his jumper has been very inconsistent. Also playing alongside mostly Boris v. Tiago gives us better spacing. Boris is very comfy with the ball out high, Tiago is not.
nevermind,. Op loves talking to himself. Strange.
Defenses are playing tight on the players moving w/o the ball. They understand that the Spurs ball movement and spacing kills and are trying to force more 1 on 1 style play to counter that danger. If the ball starts moving, they are in trouble. It is only natural that teams figure it out. Now it is up to the Spurs to counter.
Tim's still fukn badass. I love it.
Parker's been pretty average and the spurs shooting has been pretty bad so far
where has Chinook been?
Because one just cannot simply replicate one of the best basketball ever displayed ever. It's easy to point out that they are always giving the ball to someone to ISO (Duncan, parker etc.) but that's because flawless ball movement and elite 3 point shooting just don't go by easily. Spurs fans will be so spoiled of last season's run because we witnessed one of the greatest basketball teams ever but there's no guarantee that they can reach that level again.
Besides, the Spurs have never been healthy so far which means fewer options. Splitter could have taken TD's minutes and added 10 pts 7 rebounds, Mills and Beli could have came in and shot 5-6 threes in all and all of this "X-player" centric talk wouldn't exist since the offense will look much better.
It's a basketball site meant for basketball discussions..no one is "hand-wringing"
He was punishing Bosh in the post in the 2013 finals IIRC. He also schooled Tyson Chandler a couple of times when they played the Mavs this year, just doesn't seem to be a consistent threat. If a team goes small he can still dominate down there with the right matchup.
Duncan also doesn't shoot more than half of the team's attempts at 36% smartassThey say I worship Kawhi, but these Duncan homers...
