I guess I'm a wolves fan, a rockets fan, and a Phoenix fan since giving certain players their due is not being a spurs fan. I am just telling the truth and people on here don't like to hear it. How can anybody not like the spurs.
The fact you've said positives for those teams and never ever said anything positive about spurs is suspect. Not to mention you said " you have horry to bail out duncan" in another thread, suspect. Give it up, you're not a spurs fan and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
i think duncan should practice halfcourt shots so that he can just lunge them from there when he brings the ball up court against the suns/tpups/rockets... then he'll be better than kg... cause he'll have developed a shot that kg doesnt take at all!!!! yay!!!! yay!!!
wow.
Ginobili is a great player and Duncan is a great player. Bowen is a great defender. Are you happy now?
You're dodging my post
First you say Duncan is soft and a choker now he's a great player? Backpeddling at it's finest
I had to make a difference between Duncan and Garnett. Duncan is the second best player in the nba.
Yeah because the best player in the nba missed the playoffs with 3 all star players on his team plus a good bench in griffin/hudson and hoiberg
Garnett lost.
Cassell was injured pretty bad and Sprewell should have never made the all star team. He is a chucker and so is Hudson. Olawakandi makes Nesterovic look like a great center. Griffin is ok but is so one dimensional and when his 3 pointers aren't going in he is worthless.Yeah because the best player in the nba missed the playoffs with 3 all star players on his team plus a good bench in griffin/hudson and hoiberg
Garnett lost.
well kg is number one in my heart... my favorite part of the season was watching kg cry to john thompson on tnt... about how he "brings it" every night. charles barkley... classic commentary.
Well it didn't matter what happed with the T-wolves. KG should've hit some threes and put them in the playoffs... Right? Riiight?
Come on man, what makes Tim Duncan Tim Duncan is his dominate post presence. Why the would he sit around popping threes when we have guys like Manu, Horry (if he returns) and Barry for that, who are not only more skilled and have been doing it for longer, but would punish the team less by doing it. If Tim misses, who is going to grab the rebound? If Tim is sitting around the perimeter with the intent of popping threes, what does that do for Manu or Parker? Nobody is going to double Tim out near the three point line, and that's going to close up the lanes for Parker and Manu. Not only do teams not have to double Tim, they can also stick to single coverage. That's not good for the Spurs AT ALL.
I'd like to see Tim add a chest thump....and maybe point to someone in the stands after he makes a shot.
I really think that would make him a more dominant player.
Tim can add the 3 to his game but it is not necessary right now.
His inside game is where he's the best and some more strength could go far.
And why would the ability to hit a 3 make a person more clutch? Duncan make the game winning shot vs. Seattle in Game 5 (or 6, forgot which one), took over in Game 7 vs. Detroit and blew the game open, took over games vs. Phoenix this year. I would say those are pretty clutch.
I wouldn't call Duncan as clutch as say Jerry West, Horry, and such, but to say that Garnett is clutch because he hit a 3 on a broken play in his 10 year career is beyond stupid.
Then he could shoot his FTs from behing the arc?A 3 point shot? I know it sounds strange, but its the only thing he hasnt really experimented with as of yet. He can already hit the mid range jumpers and has thrown in a 3 bomb at times late in the shot clock and looked pretty decent...If he could add a semi-reliable 3 point shot to his game, similar to how other PFs can do it like Dirk, Radmonovic, Rasheed, even Garnett to an extent, that would really spread the floor and give another unexpected offensive threat. maybe its a pipe dream, but it would be nice
Seriously, he needs work on his footwork if he's gonna complete the change from a face-up PF to a back-to-basket PF/C. I understand Hakeem Olajuwon gave him some tips in April and I'd like to see that relationship continued.
Maybe he'd learn to control and protect the ball while dribbling at the same time.
If he could do all that, he'd really seal his position as one of the top players of all time
The FTs ARE Timmy's three point shot--when he makes them.
And more importantly, every FT means one more strike against the big men that guard him and helps to either get them out of the game entirely or simply out of THEIR game with ac ulated fouls.
Really, but in another thread "Is Duncan The Best of His Generation, you said:
Wouldn't that make Duncan 3rd best in the NBA now? And since you speak the "truth", which one is the truth?
And whatever happend to the Malone need a 2nd and 3rd scorer argument?
Didn't you say
But then after being shown that Malone had better scoring teammates, you switched to defenders while totally ignoring players like Stockton and Mark Eaton.
4 years ago and before that Shaq was clearly the best player in the game but now Shaq is getting old and Duncan is better now. Of all time I would take Shaq's best over Duncan's best.
Look out behind you, you are back-peddling yourself into a deep pile of !
I've watched duncan shoot around before games probably 60-70 times over the last few years.
Sometimes he shoots 3's with coaches in contests...
The guy hits probably 30-35% of the 3 point shots that he takes from behind the arc.
Why do you think that pop draws up plays for him with 2-3 seconds left to shoot from behind the arc?
He has Rasheed's range, he just doesn't use it because that isn't his role on the team.
Shaq at is prime was unstoppable and no way would Duncan be considered better. Olajuwon in his prime was the 2nd best center and I would take him also over Duncan. I am not back peddling and it makes sense so take that.
Duncan should learn he dreamshake. That move killed the Spurs, I would like to see it used for good instead of evil.
Maybe if Shaq added the 3 pointer to his game he still would've been dominant
That is just plain ignorance because never did I say the reason Garnett is better than Duncan is because of that shot. Use quotes next time.Maybe if Shaq added the 3 pointer to his game he still would've been dominant
