    For other fans who don't have the privledge of watching a lot of Spurs games...

    When Tim gets focused and determined, he is damn near unbeatable. He has an entire other level others cant touch.

    1999 team dominated because David Robinson was in his prime.

    2000, 2001 - Duncan was just beginning to round into form, but the Spurs had no answer for Kobe Bryant. Hence, they brought Bruce Bowen in in 2001-2002. Perhaps more significantly, in 2002-2003, they brought in Manu Ginobili.

    You guys realize that Manu has been in the league 4 years and won two championships already? If/when we win this year, he'll have won a championship 3 out of 4 years in the league. That's incredible. And I think it lends evidence to who the real difference maker on the Spurs is, with all respect to Tim Duncan. The three keys to winning are Timmy, Manu, and Bruce Bowen - not necessarily in that order.

    I agree with all of that. We can't blame Duncan for those other losses. It takes a TEAM to win, led by a great leader. I think the importance of Bruce is not stressed enough. This guy, in my opinion, is hands down the BEST defensive player there is. He was robbed of the Defensive Player of the Year award almost every year already. Truly, without Bruce's relentless defense, we would not be anywhere...He is what keeps the big shots/star players from scoring...Look at what he does against Kobe, Carmelo, Ray Allen, Vince Carter, etc...the list goes on. And on top of it, he got the best compliments from all of them: their whining and complaining and dirty talking to the media about Bruce...It just shows that Bruce gets into their heads better than anyone else. Remember his incredible block of Billups 3 pointer with about one minute of the fourth quarter remaining in the seventh deciding game. If it had been anyone else guarding Chauncey, the Spurs lead would have been just two points not five with a minute remaining. And what about what he did to Dirk? He blocked his shot from the behind! And created a jump ball that basically SAVED the Spurs. I just hope the Spurs have Bowen on contract for more than two more years at least...


    AND MANU...well, what can you say other than that he is the most fierce compe or and plays with so much passion and fire. His steals, his shots, his rebounds, etc...are what make him a great player...He literally SAVED the Spurs in the last game by scoring 30 points and keeping the Spurs alive when other players were struggling with either fouls or shooting...

    I think the Spurs have the BEST team possible right now with the following players: Timmy, Tony, Brucie, Manu, Horry...and now we can add Michael Finley to the mix...That's it...we don't need anyone else to win...I hope the Spurs keep all of those players...

    And that article about Timmy's eyes is truly touching. I love it. It's an original and an emotional piece...It truly touches your heart. The look in his eyes does indeed speak volumes. And when Timmy is confident and REALLY wants to win, then we already know the rest...just watch Game 7th third and fourth quarter against Detroit last year...Timmy was unstoppable all the way through...

    The only other player I can recall who had the same look in his eyes when crunch time came was Bill Russell
    Damn good company

    I like the intent of the article...but I don't really agree with the way it makes the point.

    Duncan was never why we didn't win a le...just like David Robinson wasn't...it is entirely the supporting cast that has determined our le worthiness for the past 20 years.

    Duncan got injured in 2000 and the reason we got beatdown by the Lakers in 01 was because we were ancient on the perimeter and could not stop Kobe Bryant...and Anderson got injured.

    Who knows...if we had Bruce Bowen back then we just might have beat them.

    Duncan got that look on his face because he was flat out embarrased at how badly Kobe was destroying us.

    In 2002 LA did not dominate us in that 4-1 series victory...We held a 10-15 point lead going into the 4th quarter of every game in that series and then they'd just double/triple Duncan and watch Smitty, Porter and Ferry choke the game away.

    Dominated? No...in some ways we dominated LA more in that series than we did in the series we actually beat them.

    IF Duncan looks more relaxed and sure now it's because he knows he's got a freaking awesome supporting cast and he doesn't have to do everything every night...as the game 6 win proves...he wasn't that great in the early part of that game. Confident or not...and if not for Manu in the first half, and Finley stepping up...we'd have gotten our ass kicked no matter how confident Duncan looked.

    I agree with Whott. But, good article nonetheless.

    I don't give much credence to the article. Dirk's eyes didn't look any different to me last night than they did in the games they won. Dirk was everywhere last night. He was fiery and enthusiastic. He was trying to win the game but he didn't get much support from Stack and Devin. He had 21 rebounds!!! I have spent many years in business watching body language and eyes and it's true, eyes can tell a lot. In this case, I think the writer misses the mark.
    Did you see Dirk coming out of the tunnel for pre-game warmups? You could tell he was going to be everywhere. He certainly wanted to end the series then and there, and it showed in his play.

    But he certainly didn't keep up the play late in the 4th quarter, maybe because he lost confidence, maybe because he was gassed, whatever. He certainly had a fairly despondent look in the post-game PC, but you'd expect that after a tough loss.

    I'm curious what he's going to look like before tonight's game.

    That picture of Tim Duncan looking mad is awesome. That makes me believe that the Spurs will win tonight.

    Tim Duncan`s eyes

    Nowitzki has never been able to hit the big shot in the playoffs.
    That quote seems a good time to bring this up.

    In 5 of the 6 games of this series, Dirk Nowitski has had the ball in his hands, with 10 seconds on the clock, and the ability to win or tie.

    He has yet to make a basket: 0-5.

    His hair is shaven down
    His footwork sweet surprise
    His bankshots don't run cold
    Like his Timmy Duncan Eyes
    Before you can think twice
    He's on a fundamental roll
    And He's got Timmy Duncan Eyes

    And he'll tease you
    and unease you
    All the better just to please you
    He's fundamental and knows just
    What it takes to make a NBA pro blush
    With envious sighs
    He's got Timmy Duncan Eyes

    He'll take game seven home
    It whets his appe e
    To regain his NBA throne
    on which he's got his eyes
    He'll take the middle on you
    Roll you like you're dice
    Until you're white on rice
    He's got those Timmy Duncan Eyes

    He'll expose you when he throws you
    off your feet with the spin he shows you
    He's ferocious and he know just
    What it takes to make a NBA pro blush
    And never smiles or cries
    He's got those Timmy Duncan Eyes

    He'll tease you
    He'll undress you
    Before a thousand guys
    He's got those Timmy Duncan Eyes
    He'll expose you, when he shows you
    That he owns you
    He's got those Timmy Duncan Eyes.

    Understatement.

    TD is the best team player in the NBA right now.
