it was sad to see him go for his trademark spin move and fall to the grown cause he couldnt turn his knees![]()
Last 2 games=2 loses
but there is something very positive
TD played 36 minutes per game
19-15 @ NO
21-12 9/12FG tonight
He played a lot of minutes and he played a few better.In NO he played a very good first half with 15 point.Tonight he was shooting very well (9-12).
To me it's more important TD feeling better than 2 wins in these games.
We sucked tonight but the season is not over tonight.If TD's knees are going to be better then we will have chance in the playoffs wherever we have to play

To me, Td looked better too. What do you think Duncan228?
Oh yeah, I looked up and saw that, but I thought he was pushed or something. Did he just fall by himself?![]()
im pretty sure he fell by himself
Duncan looks better, but not all better. He's moving in the right direction but I don't see that he's near his dominate self yet.
I'm cautiously optomistic.
Agree.But I think he is clearly better than 2 weeks ago.
Of course he's not as good as always.
But I will happy if he can be at 80-85% in the playoffs.
I still see him a step slow. Everyone seems to get by him now. Its obvious that its his knees because earlier in the year this wasn't happening.
he looked great in the first hald of the Thunder game. And played well in the second half. But as Timvp said in the initial thoughts- the thunder werent bringing any pressure on him, no double teams. Which left him bing guarded 1 on 1 by Kristic and at one point Jeff Green.
He does seem to be moving better, and im much more optimistic then a week ago![]()
his HEALTH looks better for sure, so I'm definitely optimistic..but I think he's still having confidence issues in his knee, which is expected..that's a good sign though, because that's fixable..
his defense has looked solid for a while though, so that's good too..he had a few blocks last night, altered shots, and made Jeff Green miss 2 dunks..
he left Krstic open multiple times, but it looked like that was the strategy..either missed assignments by the other players that were supposed to rotate, or they were leaving him open, because there wasn't anybody even near him sometimes..
he still hasn't played a FULL game at the Duncan level though..he's shown dominance in some quarters and halves, but not for a full game yet..his confidence seems like the bigger issue right now IMO..
He seems better yes, after his rest. but still needs to improve to be the good old tim
