Tiago's post game

[Brunodf]

Timmy hasn't been an elite post player since 2010. His weight loss removed his ability to back down effectively, and his deteriorating left knee pretty much eliminated his jump hook.

There are nights when his knee feels good, and he uses variety in his moves instead of that awkward one-handed handed fallaway, but those are few and far between now.

Diaw is our best post player currently, mainly because he usually has mismatches on him and is great at identifying them. Duncan's post game has been pretty ugly at times this year, in fact more often than not. But I'm pretty damn confident in him coming through on the ones that really matter, and ultimately, if its game 7 of the NBA finals, and for some reason we had to dump the ball down into tiago or tim for the final shot, I'm giving it to tim every time. He still has it, just not all the time. However, during this regular season, i've had more faith in kawhi and boris on the block. Idc what the stats say, but i have less confidence in splitter than tim. That's just me.

Its pretty amusing how much he gets his shot blocked.

He gets his shot blocked a lot and imo it is because he just puts/lays weak up there too much of the time. It's weird because he has such flair and a developed post game with reverse lay ins and hooks, pumps and moves. If his catalog has such depth, why just lay weak up there when you're in the NBA and you know there is talent enough to move in on a weak soft shot attempt.

But I'm not a hater, I'm actually a huge fan of his game and was one of the people waiting since 2007 for him or Scola or both to come through when we were hanging on with Fab etc.

Weird thing, was that I created his player in NBA Live 08 (don't hate I'm a 2k guy now) well before Spurs finally brought him on, I decided to pick # 22 for him. Had no way of knowing and got chills when I saw the promo press conference that day they signed him and he was holding up the jersey with the number on it. I just figured Duncan 2.0 would be 21 + 1 and picked #22 when it asked for a jersey number in the game. Cool story, bro but thought I'd share anyway.

Not really. He was okay in the post that year, but his resurgence came from an improved outside shot and utilizing his faceup game. I'd like to see him face up more this season. Not sure why he went away from it...

Agreed. He just can't bring it night after night like in his prime. But if I'm going to live/die on a postup, I'm still taking an engaged/relatively healthy Timmy. Probably a homer take, but I don't care...

[Agloco]

he finishes at a relly high rate, idiot

Lol no. Get your head out of your ass.

Splittah is doing well against good players like Z-Bo and Gasol. Just need to get over himself and finish better against Abaka and the french freak...

Hopefully he doesn't get drug tested until the off-season, tbh..
