He wastes too much energy whining and looking for fouls that aren't there to be energetic all game.
Duncan should play aggressive all the time, not just in the first Q. Or like today, he was quiet in the 2nd and 3rd Q, and then in the 4th when we were losing, he decided to play again. But it didn't work, it was too late. The same thing is with is defense. Where are the blocked shots?
Is this part of Pop's plan or what?
Also, he is the main force on this team. He must be 1st option in offense, not Tony or Manu. I would play him more. He's not that old and he's healthy. He also had a summer off, Pop was telling that he's in the great shape. It is a shame when you have MVP type of player and you're not allowing him to play on the MVP level. Or it's him him who hasn't got enough motivation?
And then when we're trailing in the 4th quarter somehow he decises to show up. But it's just forcing, too late.
I know the passion he's been playing in the playoffs (last season vs. Mavs), but he must play like that right now.
He wastes too much energy whining and looking for fouls that aren't there to be energetic all game.
He didn't show up in the fourth. He cried like some weird rasta version of Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry all rolled up into one.
I believe the correct adjective is Croatian.
Well, why isn't he crying then all the time? But only in the 4th quarter.
The first quarter he played tough. The fourth he was just looking for the refs to bail him out.
Don't forget Timmy caught that awful stomach virus- that could account for some of his lack of intensity tonight.
Okay, what about the other games?
What about the rest of the year Angel?
I remember when he first came in the league, if someone pissed him off/hacked him and it was a no call/whatever, he got pissed and went off on them.
Now he just hangs his head and cries to the officials. ing lame.
That play where Duncan drew the triple technical on the coaching staff, all that happened is he went up without jumping and got blocked out of bounds. I watched the replay like five times and there was nothing there.
He's a great, great player but this cry baby whining he does recently makes him hard to root for.
I can't account for the rest of the games. And apparently I can't call out Timmy either.
agreed. you can't expect the refs to bail you out when you go up weak. secondly, you gotta read the refs, they were letting them play physical and tim just pussed out
The Cleveland announcers correctly pointed out that he could in fact have been called for an offensive foul for clearing out with his left arm (they almost never call that, but it's true).
Duncan needs to find his ing nutsack and fast.
This is pathetic.
Thank God someone opened this thread as I was about to start one on the same subject. Duncan is pissing me off too.
Tim is playing like a soft-ass girl. Tim is allowing opponents and officials alike to take him out of his game. I hate when he hangs his head or starts ing at the officials and doesn't get back on defense.
Memo to Timmy: SHUT UP and FIGHT THROUGH IT. You're a freaking MVP-type player and one of the leagues best. As the team leader, how you play sets the tone for everyone else. I hate Tim's behavior right now and he needs to GROW UP!
It's the ball.
It's that time of month. PMS'ing I think they call it.
It's kind of embarrassing that everyone who watches a sports highlight show tonight is going to see Duncan, Pop and PJ arguing about a play that should have been called an offensive foul on Duncan.
Duncan's done this for a few seasons now. It's always baffled me that someone who is such a horrible FT shooter would play with such a "draw the foul" mentality. Go hard, get the basket, make the contact count.
I haven't been listening to post-game on the radio, but I'm wondering if there are a lot of people calling Timmy out. Or how many are e-mailing the local sportscasters.
Don't the Spurs usually slow down this time of year..............?
....and stop looking around for a foul. Try and score. Be relentless. Quit being so "freaking" lazy. I can't believe I'm even criticizing our best player - yet he deserves it.
Indeed. Our best player is our leader, and as he leads, the rest will follow. He's leading the team in whining and Tony, Manu and Bruce are following behind him.
I don't care what team you're a fan of, you have to be on crack if you think either of the players you mentioned, especially Terry, about not getting calls even 1/2th as much as Tim.
Yeah your right your boy Dirk just shows up teamates late in games by screaming at them when they screw up.
I think TD was still pissed he was called for the foul on Varejao on the defensive end. His body language gave me the impression he felt Varejao was getting more respect or something.
It looked liked Manu was affected the most from the ball change. He was drilling threes lately with the composite ball.
