Old, boring, slow Duncan

Are people actually ing in here about a 21 and 27 game by Timmy? Damn...we just beat the team with the 5th best record in the league by a healthy margin.. ...try to be happy for a second.

I'm not sure if he's a little tired mentally or physically after how much he's carried this team to start the season, but he's clearly not as crisp in his moves. Earlier in the year, he looked as good as he ever has with the fluidity and lack of hesitation in both his face-up and post game. Now, he's looking to draw the foul a little more than complete the shot and he's holding his release (on an assortment of his shots) longer than usual; he's almost aiming and measuring to a degree, instead of shooting in rhythm and trusting his shot.

He's gone through plenty of these stretches in the past, so hopefully it's nothing more than that (he doesn't look to be hurt or in too bad of shape physically).

I agree..his shot selection has also been weak IMO..not so much tonight, but in the previous games, especially the game vs. Utah..he was taking a lot of off-balanced runners and started using his step-in off-balance shot which I absolutely hate(it always gets blocked)..

I didn't think his moves were so bad tonight, he had some good looks, the shots just weren't falling..

That shot that you hate is actually MONEY. He just needs to improve his footwork now to get proper separation. I use that same shot (just tweaked for a 6'2'' player) and it rarely gets blocked. I shoot about 70% with that move, it's insane. The problem with Tim is that he steps through instead of stepping out against the taller players and gets it blocked. Against guys like Bynum he should start with an up and under move then mind- him by actually going with a straight up shot next time down.

That move is seriously money because your off hand doesn't affect your shot.

Mini rant over

Have you ever talked to a spurs fans? Satisfaction has no meaning

[Gutter92]

It's him waving to his kids. Got a still of it.

Haha he really has a special way to wave to his kids :P? Was wondering what the that was haha

I just think he has been trying to do too much lately because he has had so little help. He looks uncomfortable at times because he doesn't know what he will get out of his teammates. He looked pretty comfortable tonight and he didn't have too many easy looks.
There was one posession in the fourth where he got an offensive rebound, two missed putbacks and another rebound where I just wanted him to go back up. Hard.
I think Timmy can get away with more muscle in the paint especially against smaller guys. It's frustrating when he doesn't go harder at the rim when he has an obvious advantage.

newb question: if you take a shot, get fouled, and miss it, does that get put down in the stats as a miss? are you 0-1 at that point?

if you make the shot it counts as shot attempt obviously, if you miss it then it doesnt count

Of course not.

[peskypesky]

Of course not.

so when Duncan goes 5-20, that means he actually took a lot more than 20 shots?

[ezau]

Dang, the guy never seems to slow down at 33

5-20 shooting

Add his free throws in (which accounts for 5.5 field goals) and you could say he still scored very efficiently. He would have had to shoot 11-20 to equal the point production, and that would have been without getting the other team in foul trouble.

I'll take 5-20 with 11-11 at the stripe and 27 boards from any player on any day in the league.

i didn't start this thread ing in the slightest, if you're referring to me

i am more than happy with timmy's play tonight

yeah, he missed shots he should've made, but i didn't start this thread to about his performance in the slightest.. i made it to brag about how he's still the best power forward of all time

[Sean Cagney]

Ducks you are sour fukk, stfu already! WE KNOW YOU LOVE TONY but when someone else does this good give them props and keep it moving.

No. You have to count the possession where he get fouled as a FGA if you want to go there (outside the and 1 FT).

a little shooting slump for timmy, but hey what a game !! Props to him.

[ThaiFanofSpurs]

Always love and respect TD and his games. He is the man!

I think he actually likes TD a lot. But just wants to play with other posters' minds in here. I think he must be a very funny guy in real life.

I'm pretty sure ducks is actually a Parker-loving duck that can type.

[dbreiden83080]

5-20 shooting

And everything else was great..

Tony looks amazing these days..

[pookenstein]

He looks kinda like a mad scientist in that pic...yeah, a mad scientist who invented a REBOUND MACHINE!!!

Hahaha. Good one.

[LOL@MavsFan]

I said this to my ONLINE BUDDY FROM WORLD OF WARCRAFT at the game that had Duncan shot the ball decent he wouldve had a 35 27 game.

I mean getting a career high in rebounding and he's supposedly "just about done" is just freaking crazy....

Fixed

[LOL@MavsFan]

Ducks = the worst troll in this entire forum...don't you know you are suppose to troll OTHER TEAM'S THREADS, not the team you supposedly call your tream. LOL

[Galileo]

Duncan also had 0 turnovers.

If you subtract Duncan's 10 offensive rebounds from his missed shots, you get:

5-10 FG
17 rebounds
11-11 FT
21 points
6 assists
0 turnovers
1 block

A great game.
