Yes, Robert Horry is the man! But Tim Duncan is hardly overrated.
Yes I am a pistons fan and no I am not just being bias but I honestly do believe Duncan is overrated. Yes he has talent no doubt but with his other championchips he had the admiral with him and a great supporting cast and yet hes the symbol of the spurs. ROBERT HORRY PROTECTED TIM DUNCAN'S LEGACY TONIGHT NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS. I've never seen such a "superstar" or "arguably the best PF in the history of the nba" choke that much. He doesn't deserve to put his hands up and he should be on his knees giving horry some major dome because without rob right now the pistons would be up 3-2 and sportscenter would be talking about duncan choking and how he couldnt lead "HIS" team to victory.
But other then that... great win by the spurs although I do think the pistons outplayed them tonight... Horry was a phenom
i can honestly say that was the greatest playoff performance i've ever seen... yes even more than any jordan moments
and the thing i like is that horry didnt run back dancing or throwing his hands up because hes not y liek that
but if it was wade or some1 else they woulda been going crazy and i'd be hating on them right now but as much as that loss hurt... I have the utmost respect for robert horry
he seriously was superman tonight and he is the reason tim duncans legacy will still be great and why tim is not public enemy number 1 right now

You're seeing about a 80% Tim Duncan. Sorry, it's the truth.
Sour grapes AND already covered by Tobias (a spur-fan) forum.
Letsee now...Duncan had like 28 points and 19 rebounds, 8 offensive?
Ya, one overrated dood cuz he missed FT's.
Whatever...
oh yes, violentkitten is imagining that piston fan comes up in here posting ridiculous .
so then its all Tim's fault and nothing to do with Detroit's defense. Interesting.
Yeah, he sucks.
26 points 19 rebounds 2 assists 2 blocks is overrated?
Spurs would be nothing without Tim Duncan. Nobody is perfect, that is why it is a team game. It's about time somebody carried him for a change.
I think I have seen major choke jobs by the other "best PF" as well. Remember "The Mailman doesn't deliver on Sunday"? Who got the ball ripped from their hands before MJ's last shot before retirement (b4 he decided to come back again)?
Agree that Horry saved TD's ass tonight.
Well If Duncan Is Overrated Than So Hakeem,shaq, And Kobe.... Horry Has Bailed All Of Those Guys Out Before... But You Fail To Realize Without Timmys 26 And 19 It Would Have Been Another Pistons Blowout... See How That Works
Just a silly thing to say.
Duncan choked at the end, there's really no way to argue that.
But overrated?
Even Jordan missed clutch shots in his career. It happens.
Now, YES.. we'd be talking a LOT more about Duncan's piss poor fourth quarter if Horry misses that 3 point shot, but he didn't. That's how the ball bounces.
Nobody's ever "rated" Duncan's FT shooting very high.
His legacy is secure.
Well, . I was going to say something to defent Timmy, but it looks like Spurs fans have it covered.
The real question should be is Ben Wallace over-rated?
(and no, I don't think so. Ben is awesome.)
I'm not sure he "protected Tim's legacy", but Bob certainly did save his arse tonight.
Tim has nights where he cannot make a FT. We all know this, as Spurs fans it drives us completely insane, and no-one knows why it happens. Is it mental fragility? Maybe, but I doubt it, not given the fact that 80% of the time he is absolutely clutch (just go back to the Sonics series, or the Lakers and Nets in 2003 when he singlehandedly destroyed teams... many other instances... just look at his record!).
Beyond the ankle injuries, I have a feeling there's something very wrong with his knees - he has no lift, doesn't flex during his FTs. Whatever it is, I7m not sure it detracts from his legacy, althugh that was a terrible stretch for him through the end of the 4th and OT.
The FT line was a choke......otherwise Detroit played good D.
Duncan with 26 and 19 on two bad ankles. Yeah, he's overrated
Well said.
Duncan struggled down the stretch to be sure be Horry isn't even in this position were it not for Tim.
26 points 19 rebounds 2 assists 2 blocks
Not his best game ever. But, see Duncan gets his done quietly. The Silent Assassin.
exactly... and coming off of 2 games where everyone is questioning your heart... a bad free throw shooter misses a few and he choked? billups missed a free throw... you guys would have won the game had he made it... did he choke?
duncan doesnt have any lift... and it showed on that tip in he should have gotten or slammed... people are right when they say he's not 100%... i think to some extent its true that robert horry's performance made sure no one got to talk about why tim duncan lost the game etc... but coming back with 26 and 19... pretty solid.
Duncan might not make big shots but he does all the little things like rebounding, blocking, steals, and scores big for most the game.
UR N ARGUMENT IS LAME
u sayin duncan never win a ring without drob, why dont u also say that about the shaq-kobe team, the jordan-pippen team, every team has a 1+2 punch.
duncan is the only one that is playin consistently outthrough the series even though he had bad 3+4 games in the series but they are still solid numbers even when rest of the team or core players didnt bother to turn up to games.
whats ur definition of overrated??
i dont see KG in the playoffs, i dont see bron in the playoffs, do u c shaq or kobe in the finals = NO
you have lost all creditbility in ur post
No way that Duncan is over-rated, he did miss some huge fts in the game but other than that he hade a HUGE game. Horry kept the Spurs in the game and Won it. Gotta love my screenname...Horry For 3!
So, Timmy is not allowed to have bad games?
