[ObiwanGinobili]

You guys are just looking for someone to blame for having the second best record in the NBA in JAN!!!!!! geeeeesh c'mon

it's the middle of winter wait till it warms up some..... I don't even want to get out of bed sometimes and especially with these gloomy days......

everybody in the league complains you just magnify it when TIM does it..... i think he's earned the right!!!!!!! its called pounding the rock! THEY GAVE IT TO LEBRON and he hasn't earned !!!! why can't TIM expect and receive the same BULL from the refs? .
.
.
.
.
le tripped himself up and timmy gets the foul ?

I think he's gotten to a point where its just fruitless....why play why show up why bother....he does it coz its his job but he'll be there with his bad ass at ude come MAY!!!!!!

Tim Duncan is better than that chest-thumping, petty .
Or at least he used to be.
And thats what we want. A guy who shuts his mouth and lets his play say all that needs to be said.

will he be a bad ass in may when he's still not getting calls or will he be the whiny tim that we see now. him not getting calls will not change and he needs to face it, man up, play aggressive and hard and MAKE the refs call the foul.

This is the stupidest thread I have read yet! Timmy D is the polar opposite of the majority of the NBA and I like it! I like a talented player with class and sportsmanship versus the majority of gangsta wannabe hip hop thugs such as R. Wallace, A.I, LABRON!!! The Spurs would not be where they are today WITHOUT Tim Duncan and they sure as would not have 3 championships under their belt without him. Yup...Spurs have no trophies with the likes of Robinson, Gervin, etc....I respect the outta them, but reality hits!

By the way... no I won't sign....you keep doing what your doing Tim!

wow...you missed the entire point of this thread. this is not about his class or sportsmanship. this is about him whining on every play on the offensive when he doesn't get a foul called on the defender when he makes a move.

tim needs to do what he used to do which is STFU and kill you with offensive arsenal. let your play do the talking rather than whine we you go up weak.

i'm signing again

Hmmm...re-read...but I honestly have to say I don't see it (whining)...not as much as the usual suspects. Kobe, Lebron, etc. I find nothing wrong in what Tim is doing....I did misunderstand a little on this thread...BUT I still stand by my assessment...I still say get off his back because IMO, he's still by far the leader of this team.

fortunately, i have league pass so i have watched every game the spurs played so far. i have never, ever, in all my years of watching TD play from his freshman year at Wake Forest until now, seen him whine as much as he does now. it's remarkable how he went from the silent assassin who didn't worry about calls to this whiner. and tim is the leader of this team no question and he should be leading by playing solidly and not whining. there are going to be missed calls every game but you can't let the refs take you out of the game and tim is guilty of this over and over again this season. i'm dumbfounded by this transformation and i want my old TD the silent assassin back. this whiny tim is too much for me.

It is strange how he all of sudden changed from just playing through everything and not complaining to whining all the time. From what I say, it started last season but most Spurs fans wouldn't really admit it back then cuz they didn't want to believe it. Most stars & whine but I always really respected Duncan for not being that way. I guess he feels it's necessary now since he see's all the other stars doing it.

Are ya'll for real?

[rayray2k8]

This thread is embarrassing.. I didnt see the game, but judging by the highlights, it looks like Tim just stopped playing after thinking the refs missed a call, while the cavs are off and running on a fastbreak.

I'll hold my breath until the Spring.
So I'm not quite ready to push the panic button.

We still have SPAM.
If this was happening in late March and April... Then I would start worrying.
For now I'll watch all the good football games on TV.

I respect that...but the game has changed ALOT in just the time Timmy D has been in the league. You HAVE to change with the times in anything you do. As long as Tim is still playing like a leader and giving us his all and producing, which he is, then let him do what he feels is right or necessary. He IS still producing and STILL one of the BEST in the league...but come on...he's not 24/25 years old anymore. He STILL doesn't whine, , or complain a fraction of the time like Kobe, Sheed, Melo, AI, LeBron, etc.

We need to support Tim and the Team!

[Solid D]

Timmy had a similar 2nd half against the Wiz in DC a year or two ago, where he was getting hacked by Washington with no calls. In fact, I think Ken Mauer was there swallowing his whistle for that one also. Any way, Timmy whined about it too much and totally stopped executing and he missed a bunch of inside shots.

Yes he does.

[EVAY]

Sign below.

Absolutely!!!!!!I am sick to DEATH of Tim's whining. It might be one thing if he was playing up to his potential....if he played even MOST nights like he played last Sunday it would be one thing. But he doesn't, and he hasn't in a very, very,very long while. He doesn't try to finish most of his shots at the rim,...he just waits to see if the refs will give him a foul call. Then if they don't, the MAN ACTUALLY POUTS!!!! he is a grown man but he POUTS!!!

Then, when the refs do give him a foul call, he only makes 6 out of ten.. If he had any fire left in his belly, or any heart, he would try to make sure that he AT LEAST got the basket, and then if he missed the free throws it wouldn't be the equivalent of a turnover, which it is when he gives up on the shot, fails to make his free throws, and then takes ten second to bothr to get himself down the court on defense. He has the talent, the brawn, and the ardor of an adoring coach...but he lets all of us down when he plays like he has been.

Pop, of course, just gets himself kicked out of games to try to inspire him. Tim makes a gazillion bucks a year. If he is so unprofessional that his own drive doesn't inspire him, it would seem like he could at least look like he is trying to reflect the value of his salary...EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!!!!

you will never, ever, see me give up on tim. he's in my top 3 favorite players of all time. but i will not approve of his behavior now. he's not playing like a leader and as a result, the team is playing very passive right now.

as for his whining this year, TD is on par with all the players you mentioned. it has gotten that bad. wait til you see him play against the mavs on thursday if you don't see game vs. the wolves tonight.

[EVAY]

Sign me up.

It's been bad this year, but I knew when Nies stepped onto the court that we were going to lose. Duncan gave it up before he even started.

I had the same reaction, and mentioned it to my wife. Tim and Pop have to know this, though. Whenever Nies is officiating Tim has a bad night, and whenever Violet is officiating, Tim has a greatt night. I can't believe how Tim gives up so much mental power to officials who just love reminding guys like Tim that they have a great deal of say about how their game is going to go. Tim doesn't whine when Violet gives him twenty foul calls against the other team whenever he is playing, and he should accept it when Nies does the reverse.

I'm sure Tim & Dirk will be in prime "whining" form on Friday night.

[jn77]

I am also signing for my wife! We love Timmy, but for god sake earn it! Play hard every minute you are on the floor and stop crying at every non call, instead play harder on the next play (after a non call)! This team and this city look up to you, time to step up and be a true leader.


jn77 and Wife!

[EVAY]

So who is going to write the official Duncan needs to step up article for the Express News?

Noone...because they are all afraid of getting on Tim and Pop's bad side and never getting another interview.

[foodie2]

I think DRob needs to take him in hand. You didn't see him doing anything like this, and Tim has always respected him. I'd vote for the Admiral calling him up for a Little Chat.

[td4mvp3]

Yes he does.

count me out. the guy got 2 below his average scoring and folks act like he's tanking or something. who gives a flip if he whines every other call? we all agree that the top players in the league do as much if not more whining. the top team in the league right now is dallas and everyone thinks dirk whines. obviously, it means jack. , folks were all over him when he first came into the league about not arguing his case more. what's more, the guy is a machine, and checking his rebounds this game should silence everyone. he gets his work done, let him do it however he needs to do it.
