NBA: Most dominant performances in playoff history

[Thread]

Charles Barkley called Tim Duncan the greatest power forward EVER.. he emphasized again.. EVER. That's the guy you're touting calling you an idiot. He also said Tim is a power forward. Again, your boy shutting you down.

Next topic please.

That's SOP with Meda/ESPN. The 48 hours before all the laughter died in sorrow the affiliate here pounded that bolded repeatedly. I'm confident that memo went out to the all the affiliates, like that stupid memo that read: "We need the Lakers to be relevant again. It's good for the NBA." The local guys here obeyed that memo and read it at 8AM,,,then about 9:30AM they laughed their asses off at us and wished we never get up off the ground again.

I've educated you, son, but, it's been like pulling teeth the entire way.

Bull . Barkley could call Malone the greatest ever. Why pick Tim?

Now you're playing the officiating/media card. It's all a conspiracy Dale, you missed the playoffs for 3 consecutive years because Jon Barry didn't want you there.

Per forever, you're never wrong.

Using that card doesn't make you right at any given time. You need to be right first.

Kudos for trying. But you realize you failed, right?

1) Didnt do it a lot of times ( in your examples he accomplished the respective feats 5, 4, and 3 times). I ask for a minimum of 30 games, you give me 3. The point is not to find some "fluke" games but show how a player was consistently dominant. I can say "30 points and 15 rebounds" and Shaq did it 127 times. It wasnt any fluke. He's head and shoulders above everyone else too. Thats greatness.

Tim played in the Golden Era of PFs meanwhile Shaq in his PRIME played in on the the tiest eras for centers so who cares what Shaq did against a bunch of bums.

Tim vs. Shaq: http://bkref.com/tiny/YPAYv

Five all-time playoff series victories in the Spurs’ history have come against the Phoenix Suns. The Spurs knocked the Suns out of the playoffs in 2007, 2005, 2003, 1998, and 1996. The Spurs went on to championships in three (’07,’05,’03) of those five years.

LeBron and his 29 of 30.
He wasnt a rookie but still young and he ended the pistons as contenders.
I thought that day James might be able to surpass Jordan
...i was wrong but just a great performance.

Bron didn't end the Pistons era, Ben Wallace leaving through free agency did which was why LeBron killed 'em in the paint.

They were missing this:

So you think you can2 come up with the definition of what would cons ute as dominant.

You don't.

2) In two of your examples, the best he could do was TIE.

You cant fabricate greatness. The numbers dont lie.

I also noticed how desperate you were to try move Duncan to the top of the list. Keep scoring down. Dont include regular season etc. If you include regular season, what happens?

20 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks, 70% FT (you probably didnt even realize you put in 70% FREE THROW SHOOTING did you), regular season and playoffs:



Bummer Chang.

Greatness is made in the playoffs, or else we would come up with lists that would have Kidd > Magic and Bird.

They were missing this:

No doubt that was a factor but IIRC Pistons were still favored and most of the media thought Pistons would handle the unproven Cavs.
In fact, it reminds me of OKC vs Spurs 2016 ...
Either way LeBron had no Westbrook as #2 ...he had Mo Williams and although some here underrate his cast to prop up James ...
The fact is he ethered those Pistons by himself ...
Best playoff performance since Prime Shaqobe/duncan era tbh.

No, I wanted YOU to do that but you failed. Your boy Kawhitstorm posted a vid early in the thread of Duncan having a 37 point and 16 rebounds. So HE seems to be endorsing the idea that 37 points and 16 rebounds is a dominant game:



Im simply pointing out other players had many more games like this than Tim Duncan. That relative speaking, he was pretty far down the list when it came to 37 point, 16 rebound type games:

1 Shaquille O'Neal* C 1993 2003 43
2 Karl Malone* F 1987 1998 22
3 Charles Barkley* F 1987 1996 21
4 Hakeem Olajuwon* C 1986 1996 21
5 Moses Malone* C 1984 1989 15
6 Patrick Ewing* C 1986 1997 14
7 David Robinson* C 1990 1996 10
8 Kevin Love F 2011 2014 7
9 Dwight Howard C 2008 2013 6
10 Dirk Nowitzki F 2001 2014 6
11 DeMarcus Cousins C 2015 2016 4
12 Al Jefferson C 2008 2014 4
13 Antonio McDyess F 1999 2001 4
14 Ralph Sampson* C 1985 1985 4
15 Amar'e Stoudemire F 2005 2007 4
16 Tim Duncan F 2002 2003 3

And you, being the defensive Spurs fan, cant seem to handle what the facts are. Duncan had 3 games like this in his career. Shaq had 43.

The facts are Barkley is a loser who had a parade for being bridesmaid.

The Leastern conference was so weak in '06-'07 that I was expecting the Raptors to come out of the East b/c their starting lineup was a good as any team in the conference. The playoffs started & Bosh got his ass handed to him by Mikki Moore.

As far as Pistons/Cavs, Tayshaun Prince was absolutely horrific in that series (on BOTH ends) but they couldn't bench him b/c they didn't have any wing-player w/ size.

I just came up with three. You chose to disqualify them.

[K...]

it;s almost as if not stat whoring led to greater playoff success and a longer career.

[da_suns_fan]

No, you failed. I asked for thirty games minimum. You gave me examples of five, five and three.

By your OWN definition, Duncan had only 5 dominant games. How do you know these five games werent flukes?

Dumbass, name me ONE player that had 37/16 & utterly outplayed PEAK Shaq aka the Wilt of the 21st century b/w '99-'03.

And you, being the defensive Spurs fan, cant seem to handle what the facts are. Duncan had 3 games like this in his career. Shaq had 43.

Tim has outscored the most prolific scorers of his era (Shaq/Kobe/Dirk) MULTIPLE times in a playoff series. During the 2003 postseason run, he had a string of 4 consecutive games w/ at least 32/15 (only been done by Wilt/Baylor): http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2...layoff-history)

As far as Hakeem vs. Tim: (first 6 seasons):
-Tim: 22.9 12.3 3.2
-Hakeem: 23.2 12.4 2.2

Career per 100 possession:
-Hakeem 30.3 on 23.6 FGAs
-Tim: 29.7 on 22.8 FGAs

You do not determine what is and what isn't the criteria.

By your definition Hakeem only have 80 dominant games out of a thousand. So he's only dominant for 8% or the time.

This is the most impresive performance, and it's not even playoff, cause Lakers don't do playoffs.

Kobe: 5

the tired old bag Duncan: 2nd 5th

[Brazil]

Da Sun Fans is a damn idiot tbh... those raw stats are quite useless if you don't factor pace, usage, minutes played and dont' get me started on the stat padding effect... All individual raw and even some advanced stats of Spurs players have to be taken with a grain of salt under Pop management

but yeah that's a funny attempt to somehow explain Malone or Barkley are better than Duncan

I still think explaining a championship parade for losing is even worse.
