And what if you're struggling? What if you're just out of rhythm? What if you're (I know, God forbid Duncan is human) seeking out your motivation for giving 100% every night?
He's not a freaking robot. He goes through slumps like every other player in sports. This couldn't even really be called a slump, as actually he's scoring MORE efficiently and putting up very close to his career numbers in points despite reduced playing time to save him for the postseason. You know. The games that really matter.
So we should trade him if he doesn't? That's another thread that seems to have some support. I have no problem of people being critical of Duncan. Calling him washed up and abandoning all le hopes unless a trade or a coaching change is made is what I take umbrage to.

Who's mom? Timmy's mom passed away (cancer).

I was talking more about a whole team not just Tim.
From what I can see now, it's not a slump. This are the problems which were in AlamoCity before and caused unability to knock offthe compe ion espcialy from a mental point of view

"Whining" about questionable calls has nothing to do with how he's playing. Technical fouls are not taking him out of his game. Rasheed Wallace, for instance, whines a ton (and rightfully so) about how the referees victimise him and can get Td up for literally anything. But, unlike Timmy, he doesn't allow that to take him out of his game; indeed, he plays much, much better and more aggressively after he gets a technical.
Timmy just needs to grow a pair of balls and some mental toughness - like Sheed.
Yup , that was a good career.
They're never really gone you know.
I believe it's possible for her to get some soup to him.
Yes, okay. But if Timmy whines too much...no soup for him!
Tim whines and Pop wines
The Spurs keep slumping along
