I hate to admit it but...

I saw Webber play last night-if any of you think Duncan plays like him, you need to and be grateful. Quit taking Duncan for granted he's awesome. He had a bad game against an MVP candidate rival, WHO CARES? We got the win. If he had outplayed him and we lost, you all would be ing about how Duncan doesn't play great enough to lead us to victory.

Displayed in this thread is a real lack of knowledge of the game by most everybody on BOTH SIDES of this discussion.

First off, everyone needs to drop the BS that KG "punked" Tim. This type of macho babble comes from the lightminded who don't have a clue of what is required to build an NBA Champion in this TEAM sport.

In the Spurs VICTORY over the Wolves, the game was essentially decided in the 2nd quarter. In this quarter, the Spurs TEAM, anchored by Duncan's total control of the paint the last 10 minutes of the quarter, held KG's Wolves TEAM to ONLY EIGHT POINTS, the lowest point total for any one quarter in Wolves HISTORY.

With a lead often in double digits, Tim had no reason to try to load the Spurs on his back by himself. As the best player in the NBA, he knew to play the odds and use his mates to take what was given. KG, on the other hand, continued to press his game more, to stay in a game he and the Wolves put themselves out of in the second quarter.

Although KG and the Wolves held tough, it was Tim's greatness at a key moment that changed the flow of the game and stopped the only real Wolfe challange in its' tracks. At the very moment KG and the Wolves closed the game to a single basket or two, for three posessions in a row, Pop called 4-down and Tim forced KG into three fouls, and it was clear; fouling Tim was KG's only chance to slow a determined Duncan.

Although Tim only hit 3 of the 6 foul shots, the momentum was slowed, and the flow of the game was turned, as the roar of the crowd was reduced to the sound of KG's nut sac shriviling ... again.

Tim is a THREE TIME NBA CHAMPION and A THREE TIME FINALS MVP for a reason, same as KG ... is not!

FYI my comments were toungue in cheek except to point out that you do not judge a superstar by one regular season game, maybe a game 7 but this whole thread is inane. Duncan is the man period.

Would you be talking about that 14-2 run when KG wasn't in the game in the second quarter?

Oh Yeah...




Besides, it came out today that the spurs cheated. They had to replace the south hoop because it was slanted.

But for real, they did have to replace it bc of that.

KG and Tim play different games, KG will not dominate a game from the low post such as Tim and Shag. KG's game is more suited to his superior atletic skills, he can drain it from the outside, and he can drive by almost every big man out there, but he won't go down low for like 5 or 6 straight possessions and force defenses to collapse on him. That's not his game.

As last night showed, Tim can do that, and when he is hitting it just sucks up defenses and makes opportunities for his teammates, and opens up the floor for the shooters and drivers. And Tim can play the low post for an entire game a problem for the opposing team, that coming into SA without a game plan to stop Tim is basically giving the Spurs the game.
