no matter what anyone says everyone else will be dummer from having read it
HB are you even a spurs fan? i mean its one thing to be pessimistic like me but are you just a fan of another team and have SA on there as mistake??

Sweet!!!
Every time HB22inSA says something negative about the Spurs, they usually do the opposite! So that means, Timmy will play, and play well, for a long time!!
congrats on proving your point!
Wilt career 51%
Shaq career 52.8%
Bill Russell career 56.1%
Tim Duncan career 68.6%
You are a negative . Duncan has never had ONE YEAR as poor as these guy's career averages.
Anyone who says Duncan isn't as compe ive as anyone that has ever played in the NBA is ignorant of Duncan's accomplishments.
With two sprained ankles he beats the Sonics, the Suns, and THE PISTONS.
Pessimistic= Negative about every single ing thing.
Duncan not being extremely competetive, give me a ing break. He may not show his emotions as often as some other players but I like that, it gives it real meaning. When he's angry you know it's for a good reason and so do his teammates.
My favourite part of the championship DVD was seeing Duncan on the sidelines during game 7. He was getting really angry, and he channeled that anger into his game, taking over the most important game of the year when it mattered most.
To measure how compe ive Timmy is by his FTs seems almost re ed. That would mean Ben Wallace is the most un-compe ive player of all time. Tim has played through injuries that would put alot of players on the bench. Thats the definition of compe ive (and tough) to me. But maybe to be compe ive to most people, you have to make a jackass of yourself after you get fouled. People I guess kinda forgot what it means to be compe ive, and thats to play your hardest and try to win no matter what. I thought thats what Tim was doing.
And you can throw in Shaq, Wilt, Russel (and his 11 rings), etc etc.
But it wont work. You cant argue with anti-Spurs fans.
Duncan is as compe ive as they come. Yeah, he doesn't open his mouth as much or make faces like Garnett, Kobe or Iverson.
And there's no doubt in my mind that Duncan in the playoffs is going to be a whole different animal altogether. Case in point, Finals last year. Ben Wallace was the # 2 rebounder in the regular season. In the Finals Duncan on two bum ankles had 14 RPG to Ben's 10 RPG and Sheed's 5.5 RPG. After outrebounding Ben and Sheed by himself in one of the first 2 games, Ben guaranteed that it wouldn't happen again in an interview with Stuart Scott. Guess what, Duncan did it again in game 5.
He's still the best rebounder in the league IMO. He doesn't have to bring it every regular season game nowadays, though. But you better believe that he's gonna bring it in the playoffs. He was the single reason why the Spurs were compe ive on the boards with the Pistons last year. And he'll be the best rebounder in the playoffs this season as well.
Duncan is SOOOOO uncommpe ive. I hate the uncompe ive way he takes over NBA Finals games and asserts his uncompe ive will on the opponent. I'm sick of how he uncompe ively carries the team on his uncompe ive back in the clutch.
He would be much more compe ive if he would scream and grimace at the crowd and pop his jersey and do PHAT ass between-the-legs DUNKS anD CROSSOVERS like my favoritest SuPeR AWESOME player Stephon MArbury that dude Is SO COMPe IVE!!!!!!!! PEACEOUT!!!!!
Finally!!! Someone gets it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sweet!!!

And then, there are those who don't...Pessimistic= Negative about every single ing thing.
plenty of nos left in the tank
Love it
but none of those guys have shot 80% at the line for a season so STFU. duncan has fallen apart at the FT line and for him its all mental not physical like it for a lot of other big men. he can hit a 20 foot bank shot but not a FT? gimme a break, i love the guy, but his FT"s make me cringe for a guy who SHOULD be hitting at least 75% and everyone on this board knows that
He had ONE 80% year. He has shot poorly from the line his whole career. Even in college. His biggest weakness comming into the league was FT%. So its not like he shot 80% at Wake, 80% his first few seasons, and then started shooting in the 60s. Hes always been a poor FT shooter. So no he hasnt fallen apart, hes just not a good foul shooter, plain and simple. Take your hate elsewhere.
ok i assumed he was solid at the FT line at college as well. i take back what i said about his FT shooting, my apologies. however i still think manu is more compe ive than TD.
of course.however i still think manu is more compe ive than TD.
All the flaling around, all the screaming, and the, falling to the floor making him way more compe ive.
If Only Duncan grew his hair longer, screamed after a three, and had a latin accent, he could become AS compe ive.
oh come on T Park, you serious man? Manu's got the biggest heart of the whole team. look i dont doubt TD is majorly compe ive, because game 7 of last shoulda shut everyone the up, it was the 3rd quarter where he took control, but manu is on another level in compe iveness, when the team is down 15 he's the one who's still playing the hardest, you really dont think so!?!
To settle down the athmospher I must to tell you that there are different styles of compe iveness.
We know Manu's style, we know, Iverson style and as a spurs fans we know how much compe ive is Tim Duncan in his style.
Hopefully TD has many more good years to come. I don't think this years PF problem is necessarily a gauge to judge his ultimate longevity. At the same time, older pplayers do generally fight through the injury bugs more than youngsters, and take more recovery time to boot. Shoot, most guys wouldn't even think about hurting their stats by playing through that....Jermaine O'Neil anyone.
Would be nice if the Spurs could get that "right" big man to play next to Timmy for the long haul sooner than later to prolong TD's career. Hopefully they can do that earlier than they did when they got TD to take a load off of Dave.
J Oneal had a torn groin. Thats a lil different than PF.
TD plays below the rim which probably means he could play into his late thirties.
He probably has four to five good to great years left.
4-5 years left after his max contract runs out
