according to some people im the best baskeball player ever because i dont miss from 3,, but i cant dribble or rebound or do anything else... should i go out for the draft?
That's something Horry/Manu/Parker can do. And why Barry was brought here for.
I don't care if Garnett can shoot 100%. He's nowhere near Duncan's greatness. Nobody would take him over Tim. We don't need him to make 3s. He does his job, and we'll let other shooters worry about that.
im not a spoiled spurs fan, far from it. ive never jumped ship like many others in here, and even in defeat i go down with the ship gracefully. i didnt say tim should be another 3 point shooter for the team, i said maybe he should work on hitting it with some consistency so if he is ever found to be open out there he could knock it down like a Garnett Or Rasheed could. once again, I DIDNT SAY MAKE HIM A DAMN 3 POINT SHOOTER IN THE OFFENSE. .^Heh. I was talking in reference to the person who started this thread and others wanting more from Timmy
How easy is it for another team to know for sure that Duncan won't be hitting a 3 at an end of the game. They won't even guard him and double team someone else. You couldn't do this to Garnett.That's something Horry/Manu/Parker can do. And why Barry was brought here for.

All Bandit is saying is that it's better to be able to shoot 3s than to not be able to shoot 3s, wouldn't everyone agree? Might as well be able to do it all; you never know. He almost can...
Last time I checked that could fairly be described as "adding to one's game".
I would, however, agree that I'd rather him be able to shoot free throws first.
What the does "jumping ship" have ANYTHING to do with being a spoiled Spurs fan? Think about it...
What I meant with "spoiled" was that a lot of people that follow the Spurs are so used to winning, and having great players, they want more and more from them, and are not complacent with the fact that we JUST WON A DAMN CHAMPIONSHIP, and maybe, just maybe, our team is just fine, and doesn't need no improvements suggested by fans. Pop knows what he does. Duncan knows what he does.
We're actually very lucky to have such an amazing player like Tim; he's so fundamental, complete, dominant, and a great leader. We cannot possibly ask for anything more.
Be glad we have him. He doesn't need to improve 3 pt shooting, because like I said, we have LOTS of other players capable of doing that. Didn't HORRY just prove that?! We need Duncan to be our leader, rebounder, blocker, etc. 3 pt shooter is just pushing it.
Who the cares about Garnett? He couldn't carry his team to the playoffs, so don't you dare compare Tim to the likes of Garnett, just because he can shoot a 3.
We will against Phoenix next year
tim is a great player, but theres nothing wrong with trying to add another level to your abilities...at least caspian gets it
Dude.. take solace in the fact that Pop and the Spurs org. know what the they're doing. Evidence that they're better at making team decisions than fans: 3 Championship trophies.
I'd rather see him improve his FT than his 3s. FTs are FAR more important than 3s any other player from the Spurs can take.
My consolation: Timmy has been through 3 championships in spite of his FT woes...
Phoenix is for real and every little improvement will be needed against possibly next years champions.
^ You must be kidding. 4-1. Almost a sweep, and you STILL don't think the Spurs can take them?
Whoever they add in their roster, they're still not going to play the defense needed to win a championship.
Teams in the finals this year: The top 2 defensive teams in the league.
I'd rather see him improve his FT than his 3sthen by the logic you used against me, tim doesnt need to do a damn thing about his free throwsTimmy has been through 3 championships in spite of his FT woes...
Tim will never improve on his free throws but there is still hope on his 3 point shot.
We'd all love for him to improve in FTs, but there's been no real improvement there. HOWEVER, we still won 3 rings in spite of it. BECAUSE he's that good... he can make up for them in other aspects (or should I say ALL OTHER aspects) of his game.then by the logic you used against me, tim doesnt need to do a damn thing about his free throws
So I don't worry.
That makes no sense whatsoever. It's a lot harder to shoot 3s than FTs.
I doubt he works on his 3 pointers that much. He focus mostly on free throws which never improve. That is my logic.
And one last thing:
I'd rather Tim keep being his normal self without improvement in 3s, than to see him becoming another Dirk Nowitzki who spends half his time shooting 3s (although not much this season) instead of taking on the role of a Power Forward and actually battling it out in the paint and being aggressive.
I never said he should become Dirk Nowitzki but I say spend about 10% of his time on 3 pointers so he can feel comfortable and hit that wide open 3 at the end of games.
I give up.
We've won 3 rings in 7 years without having Tim shoot many 3s... Hence, my response of him trying to improve there being completely unnecessary.
I'm just gonna leave it at that.
The Wolves need to improve not just against Phoenix, but every team in the league next year. When you said we, you meant the Wolves, right?
He/she obviously did:
Pitiful Wolves fans...
2004 - Garnett = 24% from 3 (6 for 25)
2004 - Duncan = 33.3% from 3 (3 for 9)
Hey Duncan's a better 3 pt shooter too! I never would have looked if you haven't brought that up.
