Thank you Tim

The guy poured his guts out on the floor tonight and came up short...again. I've never seen him play so well in my life (I've been watching since 2001) and I must say that I'm proud that we were able to take the Mavs best and nearly shove it right back down their throats, just one bad foul at the end of the game prevented that.

btw for those who want to know here are Tim's stats for game 7:

41 pts 15 rbs 6 ast 3 blk

The man is a beast. Too bad Tony/Bruce/Barry decided to take tonight off.

**greens** · 05-22-2006

It was not only Tony/Bruce/Barry who took the night off...Manu made the BIGGEST mistake of his life by fouling Dirk when he did not need to since we were UP by THREE...

Either way, everyone makes STUPID mistakes, that's part of life. Our team is amazing, but they are nowhere perfect...

BUT Tim was UNBELIEVABLE...He gave it his ALL...And I'm so proud of the THREE time MVP of the NBA finals...Everyone saw how amazing he was. He had the game of his career...BUT the truth is that you need a TEAM to win, not one player...

Timmy, you did everything you could have possibly done. You carried your team. You kept us alive. I guess it was just not our time to shine.

Tim was so awesome!

What a shame.

**Leetonidas** · 05-23-2006

I don't know where you got the idea that Tony took the night off, but Bruce definately cost us by missing those wide open threes.

True Warrior.

And Tim Duncan, in spite of what happened in overtime, was as good as anyone you've ever seen in a playoff game. If you've never had plantar fasciitis before, it's hard to understand just how much pain Tim was in this season. The pain never goes away, it affects you every time you plant, walk, run, or jump. It's a searing, sometimes-crippling pain that affects just about everything you do. Tim was hurt during these playoffs, never forget that. Plantar issues don't go away unless you hit the shelf for a few months, and somehow he rose above. Way above. 25.9 points (on 57 percent shooting), 10.5 boards, 3.3 assists, and three blocks in the postseason for Tim, playing 37.8 minutes per game. On one foot. That's a man, right there.

Here's to signing that elusive free agent...Health this summer.

**loveforthegame** · 05-23-2006

No complaints about Timmy's playoff run. He was a monster. It's a shame he ran out of gas in OT and couldn't get a little help from others.

**velik_m** · 05-23-2006

tim is the best!

**charmie21** · 05-23-2006

love him, so much.

**milkyway21** · 05-23-2006

DON'T WORRY TIM, IT'S NOT THE END OF THE ROAD FOR YOU YET. GO REST YOUR FEET AND YOUR ANKLES. YOU CARRY THE SPURS ON YOUR SHOULDERS, YOU JUST CAN'T CARRY THEM ALL

YOU DIDN'T WIN BUT YOU CONTRIBUTED TO THIS GAME MORE THAN WE COULD HOPE FOR THAT YOU SHLD NOT BE ASHAMED OF.

YOU'RE STILL OUR LEADING MAN! JUST THINK OF THE 3 CHAMPIONSHIPS AND YOU'LL BE OKAY!

**spurs_in_7** · 05-23-2006

tim is the shi*, in spite of his choke job down the stretch

**rayray2k8** · 05-23-2006

Hes a living legend in my book.
Big up Timmy.

You're still carrying this team.
parker, and his ho of a girlfriend.

**DuncanInYourFace** · 05-23-2006

The media was talking about Dirk Dirk Dirk, but Tim Duncan was flat-out AWESOME the whole series. MVP of the series no doubt.

**Budkin** · 05-23-2006

Timmy D is a God among men. So glad to see him back!

**ManuTim_best of Fwiendz** · 05-23-2006

Tim puts all those doubters and the "washed up " talk to shame. I hope he comes back with a vengeance this coming SEASON and unleash his MVP game on the rest of the LEAGUE...

We just need to sign a couple Long Players. One GREAT BIG, and One long SF to help him out come on...Can't do this to Timmy...I miss his game already. He deserves to play til June every year!!!

I like the Timmy Franchise. This year was a test run for a Parker franchise. I don't think a Parker run franchise would cut it. 63 wins is nice but it's no LE-- he's a glamour boy

hence Eva....

More Timmy - Manu tandem NEXT year we need to build our scheme around them to get the 4th ring... 4th ring for Timmy.

**clubalien** · 05-23-2006

dirk couldn't miss. dirk should have got the mvp this year insted of nash repeating

**DuncanInYourFace** · 05-23-2006

Duncan needs another reliable big to help him out there though, I think that's what this series proved

**jamezyjamez** · 05-23-2006

I liked Tony Parker in Lord of the Rings! He's the cutest hobbit-elf ever!

This guy is easily the top PF in NBA History, and probably one of the top 10-15 all-time at any position.

**TDMVPDPOY** · 05-23-2006

we should tank next season and draft oden, i hate seeing duncans output goin to waste with clowns like tp/manu on the team, then our bench, these either turn up late or dont even turn up

**texas84** · 05-23-2006

Duncan was a beast. I do feel he got help from the refs, but I'm sure anyone from a different team will feel that way. For example, in the fourth quarter, Dirk is on the floor and it's him and Duncan going one on one. The way fouls had been called on Diop/Dampier/Van Horn, I felt for sure Dirk was going to get calls #4,5, and 6 in quick succession. But, he kept guarding him like our other guys... and no calls.

Having said that tho, Duncan is a true leader and I think Dirk is on his way towards becoming what Duncan already is. Even if we don't win the whole thing this year.

Yea, refs swallowed the whistle at the most random times that game

**Mavs<Spurs** · 05-23-2006

Tim Duncan played like the multiple MVP winner he is. 41 points on 50 % from field with 15 boards and 6 assists and playing almost 50 minutes.

He showed that he is still the same amazing brilliant player that we all know and love.

What a great postseason for Tim.

I agree that this did show that Tim needed help from another big. Our bigs were too much both of an offensive liability (no production) and a defensive liability in terms of match up problems.

Tim still looks like the best player of the playoffs of 2006!
