When are people going to stop using "turned back the clock" for a guy who's level is consistent? Tim can always put up those numbers if he has those minutes.

I must interject here. When Oscar joined Milwaukee, he was clearly on the decline. Statistically, Kareem had some of his strongest offensive years playing with no one. He didn't need too much help putting up individual numbers. Everyone needs help to win, however. Duncan is feeling that a bit lately, with Leonard and Parker out. Must be frustrating.Kareem had the benefit of playing with one of the greatest point guards of all-time to feed him easy buckets. Not to mention he only played one side of the floor and never had to anchor the team's D.
Meanwhile, Duncan has to play with Cory Joseph
I agree Kareem wasn't as strong as Duncan in terms of rebounding, defensive positioning, particularly later in his career. But someone was defending the paint and intimidating the guards on those Lakers teams. I can assure you it wasn't Kurt Rambis. 11-times on 1st or 2nd all-defense isn't so shabby. In the mid-80s, there was a fascination towards the shot blocking giants like Eaton and Bol. They stole some of honors away. :P
Wasted performance from the goat. Hopefully he realizes that turnaround bunny is automatic for him.
TD was great last night. Bet he put up a couple hundred free throws between games. Consistent excellence - just amazing. I'm really savoring watching Duncan and Federer in their twilight years.
I still wonder where the his head was in previous game while standing at FT line. Shots flat, hopeless, rarely even in the cylinder.
