Everything the KG fans say is right. KG IS better than TD. TD just wins more because of TP and Manu and the rest of the help.
It's a sad truth.
This is the first time that I can remember KG owning Tim in a LONG TIME. Oh by the way, Duncan is hurt. No excuses, but just look at what has happened the past few years between TD and KG, not JUST this game.
yeah KG def. impressed me a ton tonight. i still would take TD over KG but aside form our superior supporting cast, in terms of one on one, KG vs TD is much closer than people seem to give the matchup credit for
one game, spoken by a so called TD fan, go back to the lakers bandwagoner
true
don't make excuses dawg, tim got outplayed tonight pure and simple.Oh by the way, Duncan is hurt.
Notice that most times Tim caught it in the post, KG forced him about 3 feet away from his spot? This happened sooo many times tonight, which is a large reason why Duncan blew nuts, and also why he started shooting nasty looking jumpers.
KG physically overpowered Tim tonight, luckily Tim got a sweet little revenge on his sweet And-1 that knocked KG to the floor. But overall, KG was keeping Duncan out of his sweet spot.
Not many people do that very well.
aside form the fact that when td knocked kg to the floor he DID NOT make the basket, he simply missed one of his two crucial free throws, that was a very good honest post
you are right. my bad....but it was still a great aggressive move by timmy. last year that shot would have been blocked.
Dre, i said that cuz you saying he is hurt is an excuse in itself. I wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't said that.
yeah dude, no worries, TD has great footwork fo sho
"Duncan is hurt"
when did he get hurt? After he got 29 PT - 22 RB - 5 AST 48 hours ago?
TD got outplayed BIG TIME tonight. But I still think, based on his ENTIRE body of work, that TD is the best player in the game today.
i wont argue with that
Hes been hurt. Not an excuse for anything, just saying that once he (and the rest of the Spurs for that matter) get healthy, we will see a much better player (team).
Get back to me in June!
One game means nothing. Tim is hurt and his injury is no joke. He played terribly but the injury played a big part. That doesn't take anything away from KG though. He knew this was a big game and treated it so.
Duncan needs to work out. He's probably the only guy KG can muscle out of the paint. I also think he could stand to play a little harder. I said KG is better than Duncan and for the past couple of seasons he has been, but I don't think he's 11 pts and 12 rebs better. I guess what I'm really saying is KG plays harder and gives more effort than Duncan and that, I think, is an indeniable fact.
If I were KG tonight, I would have played harder than if I were Duncan. But that's just me.
Look at who Minnesota fielded on the floor tonight.
Spurs had Horry support the mid-2nd quarter offense.
Minny does not have that option. They played wally, jaric, hudson, garnett, and carter for most of the 3rd quarter.
THEY PLAYED WALLY AT POWER FORWARD (which gayly enough panned out in their favor....)
Naturally KG would give more effort.
If spurs hit their free throws tonight this is a ing blow out.
Spurs are that in good.
I take the win...and the one with rings...
i dont know if i would say KG "outmuscled" td in the paint cuz td was knocking KG and posting him up all over the place. KG just has a much better outside game and is able to fade away from td and hit his shots night in and out. TD just got outplayed in all facets of the game from KG tonight
Tim will always be the more valuable of the two because after all of these years, KG is still reluctant to play in the paint. He's a perimter player. If he's so ing great, why the is Troy Hudson taking your last shot? KG's testicles wither in crunch time.
Geez, everytime Tim has a bad game someone has to bring like this up. What the is wrong with you people? Can't you take a ing win and be happy with it instead of trying to find something wrong with someone? Yeah, Tim didn't play as great tonight, and Garnett played better. But, KG is more of a jump shooter, and Tim takes it to the hole. Garnett is an awesome defender in the low post, like Tim, but since KG was shooting jump shots a good portion of the night, those are harder to guard.
I hate people who think stats make someone better than another. Manu doesn't average 25 points a game, but he still an amazing player, and better than a lot of players who do average 25 points a game. The Spurs are a DEEP team, and Tim is not the only option. On the T'Wolves, KG is the first and second option, and he IS there team. The Spurs have Manu and Tony, so that takes some of the load of Tim.
When Kevin Garnett does anything in the playoffs, let me know. Tim Duncan led the Spurs to the championship, no matter what anyone said. Tim does not fold like KG and Tim is a leader, Garnett is not.
But, if you want to go by some numbers tonight, let's look at some other numbers.
NBA Championships:
Tim Duncan - 3
Kevin Garnett - 0
NBA Finals MVP Awards:
Tim Duncan - 3
Kevin Garnett - 0
MVP awards:
Tim Duncan - 2
Kevin Garnett - 1
So yeah, pay attention to those stats.
Oh, and tim_duncan_non_fan...
Wally - All Star playing with KG
Starbury - All Star playing with KG
Gugliotta - All Star playing with KG
Terrell Brandon - All Star playing with KG
This "KG has never had support" has got to stop. It's the biggest myth since WMDs.
Isnt that 3 clutch time shots (in the last 3 games) in a row KG has missed? Correct me if im wrong...
