Buck Harvey: Ginobili outlined Duncan’s new era

...If anything, this might be easier for Duncan than it even was for Robinson. Duncan takes the game seriously, just not himself.


...Duncan’s ego, instead, is as solid as his footwork. He still plays the game with the same analytical approach, but now Spock understands the equation has changed. If anything, Duncan loves playing with a starting backcourt that can combine for 49 points and 19 assists.

The Spurs can’t contend without this Duncan, and he will have a few big scoring nights as the season goes along. He will likely finish third in scoring on this team, not fourth.

Still, Parker was being diplomatic Monday when he said, “Timmy is taking a little bit of a back seat so we can save him for the playoffs.” Duncan is taking a back seat because that’s the way this team is built.

TD defense has been great. I hope TP and Manu can keep their pace on O so TD can focus on D
