Tim Duncan is done.

[spurtech09]

yep duncan needs help he can't do everything himself.....pop needs to add Ian to the staring line up

[all_heart]

The strategy against Oden was just stupid..we had success when we double-teamed him when he wasn't too deep, I don't know why we didn't do it more often..he isn't a good passer, and he folds under pressure..

if Oden gets deep, he's going to score most of the time..his flaw is foul trouble..he's the strongest player in the NBA next to Shaq, and he's one of the most athletic big men..where was the defensive game plan?..

Spurs never really had to double team anyone, now... well yea it's a good strategy when it works. Better teams will make you pay for it, but hey what choice do they have now?!!?

Idiot.

Dude, chill! It's barely but a few days into a long season. Tim has played deep into the playoffs for many, many years. Yes his knees may not be what they once were. But at least give him time to get into game shape, which will take weeks. Don't give up just yet! Keep your chin up!

ST poster Galileo pretty much blasted this theory over the last two days:

Duncan is averaging career highs in:

PER
FG%
DRB per game
Steals per game
ORB per 36 minutes
DRB per 36 minutes
TRB per 36 minutes
Steals per 36 minutes
TS%
eFG%
ORB%
DRB%
TRB%
Steals %
Offensive rating
lowest TO per game
lowest fouls per game
lowest TOs per 36 minutes

and also

Duncan Leading NBA in Total Rebound %, Blair 1st in FG%

Duncan still leading in defensive Rebound % as well:

Total Rebound Pct

1. Tim Duncan-SAS 28.0
2. Greg Oden-POR 26.0
3. Dwight Howard-ORL 24.2
4. Marc Gasol-MEM 20.6
5. Emeka Okafor-NOH 20.6
6. Luis Scola-HOU 19.7
7. Al Horford-ATL 19.3
8. Erick Dampier-DAL 19.3
9. Gerald Wallace-CHA 19.2
10. Chris Bosh-TOR 19.1

Field Goal Pct

1. DeJuan Blair-SAS .704
2. Erick Dampier-DAL .667
3. Chuck Hayes-HOU .647
Dwight Howard-ORL .647
5. Chris Paul-NOH .643
6. Kendrick Perkins-BOS .615
7. Marc Gasol-MEM .604
8. Andray Blatche-WAS .603
9. David Lee-NYK .603
10. Nene Hilario-DEN .600
Chris Kaman-LAC .600
Marreese Speights-PHI .600

13. Tim Duncan-SAS .595

Notes

Blair would be leading the NBA in Offensive Rebound %, at 19.2%, if he qualified, and third in total Rebound % (24.5%).

Duncan would be third in PER, at 30.2.

Parker is 3rd in FT% at .947

Blair would be tied for 11th in PER at 24.5, if he qualified.

Blair needs to start.

Duncan isn't done and he isn't a quote on quote "roleplayer" yet. I think some people are reading too much into the opinions of haters and some fans tend to be very myopic expected Duncan to be 2003 Duncan. The truth is somewhere in the middle which is he is still an allstar calibur player capable of getting 20-10 but he's not going to get monster games every night of 30 points, 20 boards, and 4 blocks. He's shooting a great percentage right now and getting lots of rebounds and I think as time progresses his scoring will start to go up. I laugh at some of these idiots that say Duncan is getting an ass whooping and my question who has whooped Duncan's ass the last 5 games. Boozer had a great game but I don't recall anybody else just dominating Duncan. Oden played good last night but its not like he got 20-30 points and 10-15 board.
