But but Barkley said OKC's bigs had the advantage in this series..
There was a fleeting moment in time a few years ago when I thought Tim was done. He struggled, he was laboring and the team was in that strange "what do we do now" moment.
I, for a moment, thought maybe it's time Tim retires for the good of the team. I was wrong and have learned since then that something matter more than winning it all and watching DPG play together is one of them. As long as they don't pull a Kobe, I am fine letting them play as long as they want.
2 pts 2 rebounds. 1-6.
He's looked pretty pedestrian thus far in the playoffs.
He's been looking like Robert Parish did when he played for the Hornets and Bulls. Not a good sign.
I don't have the energy to track down your mills thread byut your boy is ing up game 2
Old man looked pretty bad out there tonight. When you can't make a simple layup under the basket with multiple tries and you're 7 feet tall there's some issues. He also can't seem to hold on to the ball. Between him and Tissot ball this game was a giveaway for sure.
Maybe he should retire. Boban can't move any better, but he can finish at the rim.
Duncan sucked tonight. So many easy misses. If he played halfway decent, the Spurs would have won by at least a few buckets.
He looks done to me.
But it's only 1-1, so I'm looking forward to Tim redeeming himself.
40 plus 2 bad knees now.

He keeps playing like he did tonight,the engine is gonna blow.
I definitely was screaming at the television every time he missed a lay-up. He appears to have nothing in the tank, sadly.
Any chance he retires and we can use his money to get unrestricted free agent Pau Gasol? Gasol put up sweet numbers this season.
Don't see any way he comes back next year. You can just see his frustration when he can't get it done like he used to.
We need Marc more than Pau, tbh. With Aldridge, we need a more traditional 5 than another 4/5 tweener. Pau Gasol is basically the Spanish version of Aldridge.
Pretty depressing but I think he's finished. I have noticed his knees have effected his lift off the ground. They are several times I saw him go up for layups when he should have been able to dunk the ball. A year ago he would have gone up for a dunk instead of a weak layup.
I'm not going to make jokes cause I respect the big guy too much, but his knees have robbed him of whatever ability (on offense in particular) he had left. He is literally just playing basketball through force of will, basketball IQ and heart.
He doesn't look Patrick Ewing in Seattle, Hakeem in Toronto or Barkley in Houston bad, yet he is inching closer and closer to that level of play. And as much as I don't want to say it, I really can't see how he could play through another long season. I just don't think his body will allow it at this point. Sucks........
I still hope we're all wrong and TD says " all y'all" and plays even in a diminished capacity. Basketball won't be the same without him......
He looked really good on D in game 1, his scoring isn't there anymore, but he's still valuable on the defensive end.
He's struggling. To me it's been the knees all season and this series is extremely physical.
It's jarring when I compare it to his performance against the Clippers last season as basically the only legit starting big (injured Tiago and Baynes are not a legit starting big). Only in comparison to his play just a year ago do you realize how the second knee finally giving in has affected him. I hope he has a few great games left. We don't need him to be scoring a whole lot but we do need him to be efficient with the shots he does take.
I doubt he retires. His player option is near 7 million next year because the Spurs won 65+ games. I doubt he walks away from that.
Basically this. I hate to watch it.
I keep hoping he has something in the tank he can use in this series and the others so he can help get to 6th.
He's the only real C the Spurs have.
If they get 6th, can't ask for more or for a better last run.
I dont want to face the inevitable. I hope he stays on as a coach in some capacity.
Damn it's painful to see Timmy breaking down like this.
It's an inevitability really, but even on his last legs he's better than at least half the big men in the NBA.
Not in game 2 he wasn't.
