Great thinking. Put out your best big, because their backcourt is red hot from three
Diaw Splitter Kawhi should be the main 5's and 4's mixed in with a few minutes of Duncan and Bonner.
The match ups on the pick and roll defensively just don't work with Duncan. We end up giving up too much space to Curry on the 3 off a pick. Or Duncan comes out too much and Curry blows by for a scoop shot. Or if you come with help defense after the blow by, you end up giving a 3 to Thompson or a dump down to Bogut. What Tim gives you offensively with Postups isn't enough when the other team is jacking up 3's. You also need to create turnovers against this team and to do that you have to play small.
Diaw can full out switch on Curry on the PnR. Splitter to an extent as well. The other HUGE difference is on offense, Tim no longer creates anything for others. Yeah he'll shoot 50% if you give him 20 post ups but he's not drawing in the double team so there are no kick out threes and his passing has slipped as he's aged.
On the pick and pop, Duncan is capable of hitting that 17 footer, but he's not really a threat to drive / drive and kick. Diaw gives you that which leads to a ton of options on either wing.
Diaw - Leonard - Ginobili - Green - Parker = Best Lineup
Splitter - Leonard - Ginobili - Green - Parker = 2nd Best Lineup
Splitter - Diaw - Leonard - and rest one of Manu , Danny, Tony. NO NEAL.
Play Duncan when Steph is taking a break. Sorry but hard truth for this series.

Then we lose the series..
You don't bench the greatest Spur of all time. And he is playing well on offense..
Duncan's the only reason we're not down by 30 tbh.
gnsf is grey
Ha. Timmy's the only reason I'm watching this game. Well, him and just in case Green gets hot or Baynes comes in. Everyone else is pissing me off.
OP has a point tbh, Duncan is a liability on pick and roll defense right now.
Make sure to tell Coach Pop if you get the chance. I'm sure he'd appreciate hearing your point of view.
Splitter is a good option for the pick and roll defense, tbh.
Tim is giving us a lot of offense but its true on the D side he is struggling on the high pnr.
Spurs went on their biggest runs with duncan sitting, dont know what that means but take it for what its worth.
GTFO. Duncan was the only big man that was significant. Manu and Parker need to make their ing layups.
Trolling? Duncan was huge tonight? He's our only scoring threat inside and our best defensive player. Not sure if serious.
like this is why I can't read much in this forum anymore.
I am serious. He's the best post up / rim protector. Golden State doesn't do either. You need a center who can protect the 3 and Drive off of a Pick on Curry. That's DIAW.
And you need someone who can create steals and havic with pressure. DIAW. Bogut is not a threat. So you need an athletic guy guarding him like a Splitter or Diaw who can help off and look for steals / contest midrange shots while being able to get back to cut off the dump pass to Bogut.

Good idea. They just need 1965 Bill Russell, 1994 David Robinson, or 2004 Kevin Garnett.
Spurs went on a run and never looked back when Duncan left Game 1. They were able to run better, tbh
I REPEAT. THE SPURS ARE BETTER WITHOUT DUNCAN IN THIS SERIES. I DON'T CARE WHO HE IS OR WHAT HE MEANS TO THE FRANCHISE. LOOK AT THE RUN IN THE 1ST QUARTER AFTER HE LEFT.
Tim Duncan says the BS meter running high re benching him
no. Keep Manu on the bench.
NEVER SPEAK ABOUT TIM DUNCAN AGAIN YOU LITTLE SAD NOOBIE VIRGIN
You were saying...
lol
Ü just can't disrespect the future hall-of-famer like that ..
win or loss in this series, Duncan is still the greatest power forward in the league right this minute.
