Excuse won't bring this team another le. , the Lakers have been playing with key guys out for a longer stretch and they've in all likelihood locked up the #1 seed today.
Timmy played like a puss bag today, there are no otherways around that fact.
look, i didnt mean to offend but im seriously upset with all these guys on this forum...EVERY spurs lose i see "Spurs Suck", "Spurs cant score", "Spurs will not win this year" and it gets me aggrivated....
and then to see people comment on how a Hall of Famer needs to play and what he needs to do and how he isnt focused is just nonsense....
look man no offense but lets get real here....
So Tim played as good as ever
Welcome to SpursTalk. It's like this after every loss, every season. You'll get used to it.
Pop wouldn't play him if he was.
Complaining after a miss is Duncan's signature move. He has been doing that for more than a decade.
The topic is about Tim Duncan missing inside scoring opportunities left and right. Bunnies. Crip Shots. Layups. Baby hooks. Let's stay on topic here.
Um, we are all fans here. Plus, we're on a freaking message board, so I'd think people would have positve and negative comments to make.
Sorry, if it seems I'm picking on you. Yet, this team is playing as poorly (offensively in particular), at the biggest stretch of the season, as the early-2000 old as dirt Spurs. We just may not have what it takes this season. But, that doesn't rule-out next year or the year after.
All im saying is if this was a SUNS forum or a LAKERS forum or even a PISTONS forum, then yea and complain all you want because these teams are NOT proven and have lost to these same Spurs in a playoff series.....
We Spurs fans have that confidence that no other fan in the NBA has and that is we are the Best until proven other wise....
After this season if Tim is still not working it might be time to trade TIm for lebron and change the focus of the team to be built around Ian.
Yeah, since Cleveland would really be willing to trade their 23-year old stud for a 32-year old who will only decline. Please, that never happen in 1,000 years. You were just kidding around with that one, right?
I've been told many-a times that the Spurs are more than a 37 year old big who only shows upo in big games, a 34 year old washed up SG and long-nosed Argentinean.
You know, the guys who know much more hoops than this humble poster . . .
I've also noticed Tim's footwork, normally a thing of beauty is practically non-existent. He's way too slow reacting and passing out of double teams and when he does decide to take it to the rack, he's putting up soft baby hooks and layups that are easy to block. His whole timing seems to be off from everything.
Again, I think a lot of Tim's offensive troubles can be pointed to the fact that teams are begining to figure out the easiest way to defend the Spurs. They're basically daring anyone outside of the Big 3 to shoot the ball and make guys like Vaughn, Finley, and Bowen beat them. Since their outside shots aren't falling, it clogs up the lane. Also, with no one outside of Parker and Ginobili able to create their own shot off the dribble, that also makes it hard. At least with Barry the Spurs had another capable ball handler and he was also the Spurs best 3 point shooter.
Side Note: Van Gundy was actually pretty funny commentating on today's game. He suggested the Spurs should go after Mutombo this offseason and bump up their average age to 36.
While age is a significant consideration this year, do not forget that the offense was actually high-powered before the rash of injuries at the end of December.
I always liked him.Side Note: Van Gundy was actually pretty funny commentating on today's game. He suggested the Spurs should go after Mutombo this offseason and bump up their average age to 36.
This was one of Tim's worst games in a long time, but I still have faith that come playoff time he'll be there for us.
No excuses! After that pathetic second half by the spurs, I don't know what to say except the spurs are playing with no urgency or heart. I'd go as far as to say they are playing without a coach right now! Pop shows no emotion, no nothing. Very discouraging to sit through a game like that!
He's done. His career is over. Cut him. He'd probably pass through waivers, pass through free agency, and end up in the D League.
