Are we playing with hand checking, zone d, 3 seconds?
Also how did splitter show up on this team?
Also is team B's secret weapon having Robinson in his prime constantly stop and apologize to splitter? "I'm sorry tiago, I didn't realize blocking your pseudo hook with my collarbone and knocking you down through the ball was even possible. I sorta thought I would have to jump to block your shot since you are about 6'11"."
I don't know peak Duncan has better range, better passing, and better positioning on defense.
DRob was an explosive athlete, but prime Duncan was deceptively fast not an explsove leaper but quick.
In a bunch of ways drob was a stronger Garnett without as good of a jumper, or maybe the world just wasn't ready for a face up center.
????
Robinson's jumper (with his unique high release above his head) was money. He consistently hit 15-17 ft jumpers....
Vinny? Seriously? I couldnt stand that assholes game.
Just so we all understand what's what. As good as Duncan has been, his peak wasn't > that.
Robinson 93 - 94 Min 40.5 FG% .507 3p% .345 FT% .749 RPG 10.70 APG 4.8 SPG 1.74 BPG 3.31 PPG 29.8
Put Manu in for Vinnie, and swap AJ with Strickland - then you might have a game.
But why are we talking about this? The playoffs START next week. This is an August thread.
I think a lot of folks here don't remember Robinson in his prime.
Team A, +25.
It'd be illegal what a prime D-Rob would do to my Golden God Tiago tbh.
I'm obviously going with the team with Sean Marks.
And that's with stronger defenses in an era with other great centers (Hakeem, Ewing, Shaq, Mourning, etc...) Before the restricted arc was introduced (in 1997 IIRC)...
Dallas wins by three.
I'll take the team w/o the biggest playoff pussy in NBA history (i.e. Team B)
I'll take the team with the 4 time NBA Champ.
Who would that be?
I don't buy it. Dave had more impressive stats, but Tim was the better player. I would absolutely take 03 Tim > 94 Dave. In this case, the stats really don't tell the whole story. One could probably rationalize it with reference to the playing styles, different offenses, different compe ion, etc...but even aside from all that, I think Tim was better regardless. It could be that I prefer traditional low-post/rebounding centers, but that is a winning formula, clearly.
Do you seriously not know the answer to this?
I didn't follow the spurs until Leonard and didn't really follow much basketball before that. And i am not sure if i am understanding you right? You would take team B, or Team B has the plsyer you are talking about? I was taking it the first way so assumed you were talking about parker or DRob.
Yes, I would take Team B any day of the week and twice on Sundays...and I have nothing against Parker...he's a 3x champ, a Finals MVP, and has been their team MVP since the 2007 Finals
I tried to make this team as even as possible but i guess not lol
Well, some Spurs fans like to on Parker so i wasn't sure.
Robinson WAS a rebounding center (despite the fact he had to share rebounding role with a master rebounder in Dennis Rodman)... as for his sub-Duncan back-to-the-basket game, well that only works if you're surrounded by great shooters... clutch shooters when it matters most... Duncan has been fortunate to have great shooting casts his entire career... Robinson's Spurs, despite their gaudy RS records, never had that consistency from the perimeter... so the thing missing from your list is "different teamates" - because they most certainly matter...
I gotta say Team A, because Avery, Vinnie, and Thiago can't guard Tony, Luck_the_Fakers_Luck_the_Fakers_Luck_the_Fakers_Lu ck_the_Fakers_Luck_the_Fakers_, and Horry (and definitely not Robinson). Robinson couldn't stop Hakeem, but he could have with some help defense from a bunch of all stars. I'm afraid this game would be a blowout once Kiwi shuts down Ice.
Take Splitter out and put my boy Terry mings on that team. Also which team do the refs screw over?
