Exactly, he looked shocked at the double teams and then when he missed a couple it was like he knew it was not going to be his night.
Duncan has heart. He just sucked today. He played weak and didn't come to play.
It's one game.

^^It's called having no brain.
It's Tyson Chandler baby. He should've been DPOY. The guy is long and athletic. Perfect guy against Duncan.
Chandler is so perfect they had to double Duncan every time.
He did not guard him all night one on one what are you talking about??
Yes that is what is called team defense. Chandler didn't allow Duncan to get in good position where the double team would be useless. That is the key.
How come when Tim did actually get passed to, it wasn't Parker or Manu setting him up like normal?
That way the side is cleared, Tony or Manu is up top, and the guy guarding Tony or Manu on the corner feeding Duncan can't double, or does and leaves our scorers wide the open.
Such a mess, Spurs screwed themselves for all the wrong reasons.
Nah. Just one game. It happens.
WTF? Are you in serious? That was easily one of Tim's greatest performances. I fully expect him to recieve the Oscar for his spot-on portrayal of Kwame Brown!
haha Scott went to almost the same strategy againts Tim as in 2003
Got diferent people but the strategy is the best to contain TD
I haven't read all the posts...based off the original question...he has games like this every now and then. Sure this was a bad time but he missed a ton of shots he usually makes...I think he got down on himself...body language said as much...it won't happen again though..he plays well after playing poorly. We'll be just fine. Yall didn't expect us to win BOTH did yall? C'mon..give them credit...they're a good team.
when was the last time timmy played against a hard double team anyway? i blame his teammates as much as tim, himself, for not getting duncan involved. what the were all those 3 pointers for if not to space the floor so that duncan would have more room to operate? isn't that how last year's playoffs went for the spurs? this year's suns series really screwed up this team's principles. time to go back to what this team is all about.
I agree with most of this. The early 3 pointers were BECAUSE of Tim. They were doubling Timmy off the 3 pointers to make sure he didn't beat them on the inside.
In the first half, the Spurs were making their 3s. In the second half, Spurs 3 point shooters went cold as ice. So even though they were still doubling Timmy, nobody could make them pay.
On the defensive side, Duncan made sure Chandler disappeared.
Make your 3 pointers, mid-range shots and Timmy will have room to work.
It's called someone said to make NO beat us from the running to the side falling away jump shot...
Here shoot the ball ...
NM that I've been double teamed my whole career, even triple teamed and scored quite a few times against KNOWN players.
I take it that you've never had a bad day at work?
End of thread.
Tim is a human too, I know he will rebound from this loss. I just felt something while I was watching the game, he's so frustrated and trying to balance and control his composure. I don't know if you guyz ever notice when there was a commotion between CP and BB, he was trying to mediate TC pushed away his arm and seems trying to provoke Tim to retaliate or making him mad or something, but then Tim managed that situation. No one knows how he feels that time, maybe he wants to show how he can be manly like TC but his professionalism prevails. That's so good about TIM. GO TIM and counteract these youth's strategy. See what happened to Boston, Al vexed Pierce and so Pachulia against KG. WOW a new strategy in the making: PROVOKING THE PROS TO GET MAD: THEN OUT OF RHYTHM: THAT'S HOW TO GET TO THEIR HEAD!!! SPURS ARE SMART!!! GO HORRY DO YOUR THING NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!! GO SPURS GO!!!
"They are blitzing Tim in the low post...He was really good kicking, we just couldn't hit them in the second half."
-Manu
after Game 1 loss to the Hornets
Or Maybe He Got Scared On The Condition Of The Floor After The Fire Incident. He Doesn't Want To Take His Chances In Rebounding And Might Injured Himself In Return. See What Happened To Tp Bumped His Head Hard. Timmy Is Just Being Protective!!!
SpursBrazil, bom dia! Estou em SP (Moema) ate segunda de e. Voce mora daqui perto? Qual bairro?
Early on, the double-teams were annoying but there were opportunities where he came in fast before the double-team, got a good look, but they just wouldn't drop. So his confidence level kinda dropped down throughout the game and his shots weren't as strong.
I would like to see Popovich dish it to Parker and Ginobili more so they can penetrate. It was nice that Bowen hit so many three's in the first half but he's not going to hit much more later.
We need to penetrate because as you can see, Parker can get Paul into foul trouble. We also need to put Kurt Thomas on West more. It seems to me West can't score on Thomas. Horry may be of help too, but Finley obviously isn't the guy to guard West.
I really think that floor thing hurt the Spurs a lot. Besides the fact that they might be scared a bit running around (because if one of the big three twists an angle, it's gonna be trouble), but they had to stop a warm-up again, which, as Barkley said, is harder to do for the older guys.
Why the are they don't that crap after the first quarter anyway? Save those dumb theatrics for halftime.
His wife keeps them in a jar in the kitchen?
Duncan never gets shut down 2 games in a row. I expect a pretty good showing Monday. The hornets do not scare me.
Why Do You Capitalize Every Word?
It's all hugo the hornets fault
