Duncan

[Blackjack]

The more minutes he plays, the less effective and efficient he is because of his age and mileage. He was gassed last year vs. Phoenix and it hurt his effectiveness/efficiency on both ends nearly every 4th quarter that series.

IMO Pop needs to monitor his minutes between 32-35 and over-work him during that time on the offensive end; meaning call 4-down early and often to get the interior game established ( which should make life easier for Manu, who has been struggling).

In other words, keep the minutes the same but increase his work-load on the offensive end. Oppose to increasing his minutes, which will only make him less effective because of the fatigue issue (which will effect his efficiency on both ends).

Yes sir. Diminishing returns.

This team is so ed when Duncan retires. The organization finds players, but Duncan is the glue that holds this team together. They've been a great franchise since Duncan started, and he's not even a powerhouse anymore but he makes people like Neal and Blair and Hill want to play every game.

It's going to really suck when he retires. He should get a case of well aged scotch every year from people like Bowen, Manu, Tony and a host of others who wouldn't be anything without Tim. He should get a distillery from Pop.

Bingo. It will suck not just for the Spurs but for everyone that admires greatness in general. There will be sadness to see such a great person who has dominated his position all these years. Sadly, he will retire before people realize how underrated he has been all these years. Easily top 10 of all time.
