The Spurs look like the Hakeem Rockets at the end of their run

[T Park]

Ya know I just realized, Rocket fan saying our team is really old when they have the 89 year old Mutombo on their team and management asking him to comeback and play again next year.

1. He's still effective.

2. Perimeter players age faster.

3. He's not as big a part of their team is as our greybeards are to ours.

4. Mutombo is ageless. He is timeless. Mutombo is the universe and life itself.

[DaDakota]

Duncan's rebounding is up this season.

Why do you have to lie?

He is having his 7th best rebounding season out of 11

And his 10th best scoring season out of 11....

It is a slight decline if you ask me.

hes not a big part?

Hes taken most of Yao's minutes WTF.

Still not as drastic as I thought, but he is declining.

^^Do your research TPark. He doesn't play more than 20 mpg.

And Duncan is the least of the Spurs worries, he will be effective all the way into his late 30s barring injuries. Parker is still young, and Manu is having his best season ever. Their big 3 will be OK for the next few years, it's a matter of restocking role players that will be challenging.

[ChumpDumper]

Still not as drastic as I attempted to portray when I lied.

[DaDakota]

Chump are you always so cheery? DD

[E20]

Even though ChumpDumper's posts aren't directed towards me they are making me mad/annoyed.

[ChumpDumper]

Chump are you always so cheery? It is all good, people never want to face the truth.

DD

Especially liars like you.

[DaDakota]

Especially liars like you.

Pure class, just without the first 2 letters.

If you don't want to discuss my thoughts on the Spurs, fine, no need to be rude.

And I did say that SA was still the favorite.

[ChumpDumper]

Pure class, just without the first 2 letters.

You wound me, sir.

Nevertheless, I'm not the one who lied.

[703 Spurz]

I think there is some truth to what this Rocket fan is saying. If the Spurs can barely survive a grueling March, how on earth are they going to make it out of potential 7 game series in every round till the Finals? The Spurs are no longer the front runners in the WC.

There are no ing frontrunners. The 1 seed and the 9 seed are seperated by 5 ing games.

[DaDakota]

You wound me, sir.

Nevertheless, I'm not the one who lied.

No lying at all, it is all a matter of perspective, if you think that him going up over one of his worst years ever is actually doing better, then fine.

I see a decline over the course of his career and him leaving his prime, just a different way of looking at it.

[ChumpDumper]

If you don't want to discuss my thoughts on the Spurs, fine, no need to be rude.

Your thoughts on the Spurs included a lie about Duncan's rebounding. I'm all for discussing that.

[ChumpDumper]

11.6 < 10.6!

[703 Spurz]

I think Spurs are running out of excuses to explain the performance of their team. First it was because TP was out, then it was the whole SPAM thing, and now their saving their energy for the playoffs? Something doesn't seem right with the Spurs, last season at this point they were a finely tuned machine ripping through the rest of the league.

Even if the Spurs were starting to fade, you act like you're going to dryhump everyone on this board.

What exactly is your beef with the Spurs and why do you feel the need to try and prove they're fading to Spurs fans?

[703 Spurz]

The Spurs will always be a good team as long as the Big 3 are out there on the floor. But I think we've seen the last of their le runs.

There is a changing of the guard happening in the WC and teams like LAL, HOU, NOR, POR, and UTAH are starting to emerge while PHX/DAL/SAS are on the decline.

And if the Lakers were .500 this year I bet we'd never hear this dildo attempt to talk . Amazing how that works.

The Lakers are a game up on the Spurs and only 6 on the 9th seeded team yet it's the Spurs who are on the decline.

if being on the decline has you 1 game out of the best record, sign me up.

Duncan's career averages versus this year.

Career vs, This year
11.9 rpg 11.6 rpg
21.7 ppg 19.8 ppg
.508 FG% .501 FG%

While not all that much it is still off his career averages and thus in decline......the truth will set you free.

Tim Duncan can still improve his season averages.

[ChumpDumper]

OMG! TMac's scoring is down over 30% compared to 02-03!

Decline!

Decline!

I would agree with that, he is not the player he was then.....

Tim Duncan can still improve his season averages.

A very good point.

[Ronaldo McDonald]

LOL at Lakers fans trying to convince themselves that the Spurs are done with.

After 4 losses.

[ChumpDumper]

DD

It means he's done!

Accept it!
