Tim and Robert were both so cool about the whole situation.
Tim understood Robert saved his ass. But Robert knew Timmy had put the Spurs in a position to win in the first place. I love this team, I hope Robert stays for at least one more year.
Sometimes we forget Tim's stats because he does things so quietly. I was pissed off at him for missing those FT's plus not making what looked like an easy followup for the win before OT. But you just can't ignore his stats. I was stunned to see how well he did tonight. Once I saw the numbers I couldn't be mad at him any more. But I think that's just because it's when he doesn't come through it's so much more obvious. We Spurs fans have come to expect Tim to play at a certain level. Overrated, my ass. I want Tim here until he's too old to move.

And rwb, you know what the good thing about TD is? He isn't the most athletic player around. So as long as he takes care of his body, he won't have a major dropoff in numbers as he gets older.
You obviously do not understand anything about NBA basketball, chump.
The Spurs wouldn't even be so much as SNIFFING the NBA Finals were it not for Tim Duncan. Now crawl back to the hole you came from.
Its funny how the poster doesnt back up his claims, go hide under a rock dont base ur claims after one game.
Good point. Tim doesn't rely on "athleticism" for his game. He relies on skills, court awareness, great poistioning on D and solid post up moves.
Guys like that can play long after the youthful "athletic" talents lose a step.
I'll take my overrated finals MVP anyday over 'sheed.
Idiot.
without duncan's play through three quarters and even some of the "little things" he did later on, we don't win the game.
overrated? nope. he just has a solid supporting cast.
tim duncan is talented and not overrated as a player
but his legacy is overrated is my argument... obviously hes better than rasheed and ben
but it pisses me off that hes the cornerstone and the symbol of the spurs and the media sucks on this guys nutz all day long and talking about after game 4 how he has to lead the team
it wanst only free throws
stupid shots....
catching the ball in the post and then losing it for a big turnover
the man choked
face it
obviously he can dominate a game stats wise b/c hes talented
but his LEGACY AS A LEGEND IS OVERRATED
get the argument right b4 u start calling ppl idiots
IDIOTS
as you can see ducan is a premier pf but it pisses me off that the spurs and pistons both play as teams yet they make the spurs look its only duncan's team
without duncan obviously the spurs would be CRAP and im nto saying they woudlnt be
both teams play as TEAMS
thats y u never see the pistons have ONE player as the cornerstone of their franchise
duncan is the best pf in the game today
but his legacy is overrated
jordan had pippen obviously but he made the plays when they counted
take away horry and duncans legacy is gone tonight
he looked like a rookie out there in the 4th q and OT
IDIOTS
Raheed Wallace and the Detroit Pistons are overrated
Spurs in Six!
LOL.
I've been hesitant to bring it up because I didn't want to seem dramatic, but I really think there's something wrong with his hips... his left hip, specifically. he's been walking really funny lately, and not just in that -my-ankles-hurt way.
Tim Duncan is underrated..
Pistons fans shouldn't have an opinion on Duncan.
and its funny how MOST but not all of you spurs fans after game 2 talked so much crap about how the pistons suck then you get blown out twice and then you gusy try to be all humble and give pistons respect but not after game 5 you guys bash the pistons again
i respect the spurs as a team and both teams look quite even
i stated my honest opinion on duncan... not b/c of a loss tonight but b/c i truly think his legacy is overrated
pistons will win game 6 b/c we're gonna feed horry some kryptonite
In my mind TD's rep just took a huge hit, i wont look at him as i once did. There is not a bigger moment in the NBA then the 4th quarter of a close finals game. The stage was set for TD to firmly establish himself as an all time great and he pulled a Webber like choke job. even worse then anything Webber has done
All the missed free throws in the fourth
The point blank miss at the end of regulation
Turnovers and bricks in OT
You could tell without a doubt that he was shook.Robert ing Horry put the team on his back and won game 5 of the NBA finals. Unbelievable! You guys are lucky
Not in the ing finals.
Guys, let him rant....i totally agree with him. Duncan made a fool of himself out there tonight towards the end of the game. If we lost tonight then Duncan would never hear the end of it, even if we win the series. Duncan with 3 horrible finals performances in a row??? He'd be ruined.
robert horry totally saved our asses....and tim's
actually there have been more people bashing the spurs than bashing the pistons
me included
GuaranSHEED36, maybe if Malone had won a couple rings, maybe if Barkley had won a couple, maybe then people wouldn't be talking about TD being the greatest PF.
I agree that the Spurs play as a team. But that's more in the last couple years. Remember SA vs Lakers. TD was an one man army. He was absolutely mind blowing then. And SA lost. I think TD learnt his lesson then. He realized it is a team game. He allowed other players to develop.
Yeah, he does tend to disappear in 4th Q's on occasion. But consider everything else he brings to the table--superior offensive skills, awesome defense, team player, humble superstar, very coachable, solid citizen etc etc. Finally, you can never argue with success. Guy's got 2 rings, 2 MVPs, 2 Finals MVPs etc etc.
I think his legacy is well-deserved.
The guy has 2 gimpy ankles. Of course he isn't 2003 Duncan, but I'll take his 26 and 19 anyday.
And soon he'll be a 3 time champion and the greatest power forward ever.
Deal with it.
ON realgm theres a n thread like this posted today based on one lame game today and already it has gone to 7 pages and im gettin tired of defending spurs players and to tell you the truth i just let duncan and the spurs let their game do the talkin.
Alot of trolls just dont accept the way duncan plays his style of baskebtall and our team concept.
