you ever try bowling with a sore wrist?

duncan is a prima donna with no balls.

Wow and you are how old?

Duncan gets it done when it matters most, I hope I don't have to bring out Finals statistics to show you that. He plays through nagging injuries, including when he landed on a Seattle players' ankle in the playoffs last year. We know how that game ended. You seem to just say re ed stuff like that to get people riled up.

Past history forum.

[Warlord23]

Josh810-I meant TD's supporting cast is better. Meaning if TD and KG had switched supporting casts tonight, KG's team would have won in a blowout. Tell me I didn't really have to spell that out for you.

Right, and following that logic C-Webb and Kenny Thomas are better than Garnett because they owned him last week. So if Kenny Thomas and Duncan switched teams, Thomas's team would have blown out Duncan's team by 200 points. Also Kenny Thomas has been cheated out of the MVP award for this whole decade, since we're using his last game vs KG to basically decide how good a player he is. Right?

[SequSpur]

when the twolves and spurs play it is billed as garnett vs. duncan.

garnett is consistently owning duncan.

but the spurs are winning the war, but still I hate to see Garnett dropping 20 and 20 and Rasho has better stats than Duncan.

Ok then, what has Tim done this year to show he's a "primadonna with no balls?" Gotten hurt? Been outplayed a few times?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

duncan was a no show in games 3-6 of the finals. horry bailed him out in game 5. he bailed us out of the entire series in game 5. every season he seems to have more and more slumps.

What the are you smoking? Duncan had 26 and 19 in game 5, and carried the team through the first three quarters of that game.

I can't believe anyone would ever trade Tim Duncan. The only player since Jordan on-par with Tim is Shaq.

[MannyIsGod]

@ some people.

[mikejones99]

Spurs are over 80% and if evryone is healthy they will prove how good they are on Christmas. Tim Duncan is still the best player in the NBA and he is lucky to play with 3 other all stars.

[travis2]

Oh, and tim_duncan_non_fan...

Wally - All Star playing with KG
Starbury - All Star playing with KG
Gugliotta - All Star playing with KG
Terrell Brandon - All Star playing with KG

This "KG has never had support" has got to stop. It's the biggest myth since WMDs.

How about keeping the political bull in the Politics cesspool where it belongs, hmmmm?

Put up or shut up, dip . Let's go...post your proof.

Show us all how Garnett is consistently owning Duncan.


Or are you going to pull a KG and have your testicles shrivel up the the clutch?

if you include tonight, i think garnett has the slight edge

[mikejones99]

36 20 n 7 jesus. and with wins Duncan has the edge. watch x mas to see how he plays in the clutch

[ducks]

kg plays better early in the season and fades
kind of like the cavs

[pache100]

Being given a shot in your foot does not qualify as being injured. That's irritates me when people use the most minor injuries as excuses. ... Duncan's "injury" is more mental. He needs to be able to step up his game whenever it's needed. Sometimes he just flakes out on us and somebody just happens to save his butt examples:in the finals it was Horry today it was finley. If he keeps playing soft like he did today, even the coaches won't vote him into the ASG.

You have obviously never had a heel spur (plantar fasciitis); it's one of the most painful and helpless INJURIES you can have. It most definitely results from an injury, although not a recent one. And the injections they give you for it are excruciating.

BTW, you do not deserve to have your screen name, IMO...you ought to think about changing it to something more appropriate for a Tim Duncan hater.

debreiden- I just have to say one thing:

I can't talk about how great a person he is because I don't know him.

Then, IMO, you should STFU. If you don't know him, you are not a fan and your screen name is a lie.

Rasho had better stats last night???
4 pts ZERO REBOUNDS
vs.
TD
13 pts. 9 rebounds SIX ASSISTS
What game were you watching.
The biggest reason that TD is better than KG is he is able to make players around him better and therefore win more often in the big games.

[MadDog73]

Everything the KG fans say is right. KG IS better than TD. TD just wins more because of TP and Manu and the rest of the help.

It's a sad truth.

Manu played last night? Damn, I missed that part....

Oh, and uh, who won the game?

If Garnett is so good, why couldn't he win a game on his Home Court?

[dn0]

OMFG , I can't believe people is questioning Duncan's supremacy for last night's game. KG took it personally as always with Tim last night and he played like it was the last game of his life. Tim went into this game like any other game but what remains important to me is that when timmy got pissed garnett couldn't contain him in the POST and ac ulated like 3 fouls in 2 minute span.
I hope we see the timberwolves in the playoffs, that's where the real men are separated from the boys.

Those are during his MVP seasons. I don't think anyone on this board would have dared say Garnett was better during those seasons. Just some more matchups for the dumb es that think Duncan should be traded. Go to or be a Lakers fan (I don't know which is worse at the moment), you can't judge a player's ability vs. another's by this matchup. Last year Chris Kaman outplayed Duncan one game. I dont think any of the idiots in here were proclaiming to trade Duncan for Kaman. Or maybe IceColdBrewski did. Just already.

[ambchang]

Bigshot Rob has I think 6 rings while Duncan has 3 going on 4. Is Bigshot Rob better than Duncan?

I am not aware of the fact that Bigshot Rob has Finals MVPs and regular season MVPs, I must have went into hibernation in those years. And yes, those two categories were stated in the post.

An even better example: Elton Brand is outdoing Duncan in almost every category, but he does not have the better record. Can anybody honestly say Duncan is outplaying Brand just because his team has a better record? Think about that.

Ummmm ... yes.

Also, I think people are under the impression that I'm a KG fan when I'm really not. I was just feeling sorry for him because he played extra hard and TD didn't do but his team still won. You have to admit that Tim won, at least tonight, simply because his team is better than KG's.

Because you are a "Dallas Mavericks fan". Seriously, how many logins do you have? Do you ever get confused logging in and forgot to switch personalities?

[ambchang]

Killer mentality? Don't talk things like that when you're tslking about TD. I would take Duncan over KG too, but killer instinct? You must not have seen "the sad face" Tim had while he gave up and sat on the bench in the Finals last year. That was one of the lowest points of his career.

Congratulations! We have a psychologist!
I also seem to recall Game 5 and 7 in which Duncan played well (sans the missed FTs). Sometimes, leading a team to championships are just not enough, it is so much tougher to lose in the 1st round SEVEN years in a row. I mean, damn!

[SequSpur]

Garnett > Duncan

Spurs > T Wolves
