Where did I say he had double digit rebounding games? I said he still looks good on that end, his offense and minutes have been his biggest problems when it comes to stats. Lets not forget that earlier in the season Duncan set a career high in rebounding and almost met it again shortly after.
Cop-out? Why disregard how difficult of a stretch the Spurs have had? They probably had the most difficult amount of games in this last stretch of the season. Probably one of the most difficult schedules any NBA team has seen.
To not expect Duncan to start falling off during this stretch given his injury history, mileage, and age is simply rediculous especially with Parker and Ginobli out.
Why the stop at the 17th? There's been two back to backs in the month of March and a lot of the other games were tightly packed and against good to great teams.
This isn't Utah in the early 2000's.There is a time when giving up and starting over is necessary. Teams that don't look like Utah did in the early 2000's...and that's where the Spurs are headed.
Actually I think you are. What other team with as much talent as this team with guys still playing well actually bought out their franchise player who was considered the best at his position?I'm not suggesting anything that hasn't been done many times in NBA history.
