Tony Parker's troubles probably play a role. He can't even break down rookie second round nobodies at this point

Completely missed the point.

Or maybe he doesn't want to..
He was A+ against GSW...
If your point wasn't being made with a terrible comparison I wouldn't have shown how to stupid the comparison was.^

Not a stupid comparison at all IMO.
We have people saying here Duncan can do whatever he wants even if it is detrimental to the team ( 4 down)
That's similar to saying Kobe can take as many shots as he wants..
If by people you mean 1 poster, sure.
This. Last years Spurs le Team Was a thing of Legend. Arguably the GOAT of all Champions. Hope, but don't hold your breath about them getting back to that.
And if that weren't enough, the Spurs are injured. Missing two ABSOLUTELY key pieces in Tiago and Patty. Without Patty and Tiago, the Spurs likely won't average 100 points per game.
The real question is, where the is Leonard? Why is this "max player" dropping a whopping 12 points per game way to often? Yes, this is his pre- season, but it's getting real old watching TD pull this guy's ass out the fire, game after game.
That's right, 40 year old TD, baling out Leonard.
Kawhi, GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME.
CUT THE COASTING ON O.
ATTACK.
Tonight they might as well have tossed the ball out of bound and set up the defense rather than post up Duncan down low. He made one turnaround shot off the glass in crunch time, but it was pretty brutal to watch ~10 possessions just get flushed down the toilet on missed bank shots while they were killing TD with the Verajao PnR. Between Duncan postups and TP dribbling directly to the block and either turning the ball over or passing to Danny Green as the shotclock expires, the Spurs are currently spotting opponents like ~15 possessions a game and still winning. Scary part is, if Tony is done we're basically stuck with this. I haven't seen Parker get to the rim for a layup in a halfcourt set all season.
4-down es
there are stretches where Duncan in the post does well for us.
-Overtime of game 6 against the Thunder last year
-2nd quarter of game 5 against Miami... HUGE part of our comeback, where Duncan attacked Haslem on several consecutive possessions. Haslem blocked him once, but Duncan scored every other time on him in that quarter, including at least one and-1.
He's obviously not capable of doing that for games at a time like in his prime (god, it must be easy to coach a team when u have a guy that can do that for 38+ minutes), but its still a calming force for the rest of the team. Sucks the road crowd out of the game, slows the pace down, and gives guys a chance to catch their breath. When Parker runs the full loop for 3-4 straight possessions, its draining. Kawhi is always very active on defense and tries to push-push-push in transition. 4-down gives them a breather
Discussion can indicate anxiety about an event. The two notions are not mutually exclusive.
Parker is in Horry mode and getting double teamed on the high pick and roll.
Kawhi needs work on his shot selection and it takes them 15 seconds down in the shot clock to get him the ball on the post when they call the play and he passes it to Duncan with the shot clock at 2.
Manu and Leonard cannot hit 3s to save their lives allowing their man to sag into the post.
They were running Green off the three point line and him off the dribble is an adventure.
Boris is got 14 shots.
They posted Duncan up about a half dozen times. I don't see what the whinging is about.
