George Officially signs with Mavs

[big3bigD]

Yeah, I was pretty underwhelmed by that 32.3 ppg, 11.7 rpg, 3.7 apg, 1.0 spg, and 2.6 bpg he put up against the eventual Western Conference champion during the 2006 playoffs.

If he were still a real force, he would have put up 45, 15, 7, 2, and 6 or something dominant like that. Until he rolls up a quintuple-double in a playoff game, I think he's nowhere near dominant.

He had a great series against the Mavs, but it took everything that he had and you still lost. Duncan did not have a spectacular series against the Queens nor did he have a typical "Duncan" type of regular season.

That's fine by us Mavs fans if you want him to be a KG and post great numbers while losing....

[FromWayDowntown]

We'll have to see. He had an OK season and one good series against the Mavs. He is getting older , slower, and has a bad foot. I guess that Duncan remaing the "best player in the world" for his entire life is just part of the SpurHomerFantasyLand....

He finished in the Top 10 in MVP voting, was 2nd team All-NBA and 2nd team All-Defense. He averaged 19 ppg and 11 rpg on 48% shooting while playing with a foot condition that is unlikely to be chronic.

He might not be the best player in the world, but he's still in a really, really short conversation about who is the most important player in the NBA right now.

[FromWayDowntown]

He is not the force that he once was by any means.

By the way, am I to take that as a factual assertion?

[ChumpDumper]

Mavfan should stick to riding Austin Croshere's "large part."

[big3bigD]

I hate having to side with Spur's fans but that's a ridiculous post.

Actually, you seem to like siding with Spurfan, and what exactly is ridiculous about that?

he said that as long as Duncan is playing the Spurs will be a force.

I think that it's a ridiculous post to assume that Duncan can carry that team to a ring again.

[big3bigD]

Mavfan should stick to riding Austin Croshere's "large part."

Chump should stick to his sexual tendencies and continue to Dump Duncan's large part into his mouth.

[ChumpDumper]

Mavfan can't link to my jocking Elson like he has Croshere; so much for his factual data.

So much for try to get a Chump to read...

Chump jocks all Spurs, but if you need it changed to Duncan to appease your man crush.....

Facts, my ass.

[big3bigD]

Facts, my ass.

What does this have to do with facts?????

Literacy in San Antonio, my ass....

Come on, Duncan would have carried them to the finals (and possibly beat the Heat) if it weren't for Ginobli having his head way up his ass. It's not like Ginobli was on top of his game helping Duncan on a consistent basis during the playoffs.

I'm just calling it like I see it.

I read the entire thred.

I summed it up perfectly before I did.

Mavfan's smack weakens even more.

You've just discounted everything I've said in this thread because you found it to be factually inaccurate.

As you did with me, I'm telling you that your opinion about Tim Duncan's ability is factually inaccurate.

As such, the notion that your opinion is somehow informed solely by hard data and incontrovertible fact is laughable.

Call it however you want. I don't think that Duncan is the force that he once was.

Chump continues Dumping BS....

I sum up Chump perfectly by calling him a self admitted sexual clown that tries to sound clever but can't.

Call it however you want, you're wrong.

[FromWayDowntown]

I don't think that Duncan is the force that he once was.

He had better numbers than Dirk in almost every meaningful category during the 2005-06 season, while spotting Dirk 4 minutes per game and almost 5 shots per game. If that season suggest that Tim isn't "the force that he once was," it at least suggests that on the way down, Tim is at least as good as Dirk is at his peak. That's a fairly scary thought.

Scarier still that the evidence is pretty meager to suggest that Tim is on the way down.

You are saying that my OPINION was inaccurate, I am saying that your DATA is inaccurate and can prove it with statistics.

So much for that literacy......

Chump says: "My dad can beat up your dad"

Chump and his tired rhetoric have officially become boring and repe ive.....

[ChumpDumper]

My dad is dead, but he did know about plantar fasciatis, which is more than can be said for Mavfan.

Well one thing really has nothing to do with the other now does it?

I am comparing Duncan only to himself, and he at one time was by far the best basketball player on the planet. He is no longer even close to that. He is still in the top 5 or ten though.

There was a time when Tim putting up numbers like the ones that you posted meant a sertain Spurs victory, it now results in a loss.

If you think he is still in his prime, then go for it.

Lakerfan will tell you different. Fact.

[Haiku]

Mavfans owned again
they're always getting upset
please continue now

I'm sorry to hear about your pops Chump. If you are being serious, then I meant no disrespect.

If you are BSing, for which you seem to have a strong tendency, then your pops should have taught you to read instaed of giving you medical lessons.

Lakerfan will tell you different. Fact.
