This is Timmy's team until he retires. End of story.
Since TP won the Finals MvP and Duncan on the downside of his career, who's team will it be comming 07-08 season..

Duncan on the "downside" of his career? Um did you watch the playoffs?
It will always be Duncan's team as long as he is around. Parker and the other spurs players know that.
By the way till Tim retires, its always going to be his team.
His production is getting down every year, what do you call that,, he is over thirty and i would say he has only two good seasons left in him..
Downside of his career??? Dude this is Tim's Team
Tim made 1st Team All-NBA and 1st Team Defense. What downside are you talking about?
I am just saying with age and his production every year is going down and Tony getting the Final's MVP, dont u think that makes a difference. Even though u are going to say its Tim Duncan he does'nt care who the MVP goes, no thats wrong every person hurts inside.
If you look at the careers of big men like Moses Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Artis Gilmore--- many of them were able to play at peak or near peak level until the age of 36-37. Some of their best seasons were in the age of 32-34. So I think Duncan has several great seasons left, depending on his desire to continue.
Parker, on the other hand, will be 26 next season. Athletes in general are at their absolute peak in the years 26-27. That was Duncan's age in the 2002-2003 seasons when he was at his best. The question is just how good will Parker be next year. If his mid-range jumper gets a little better, and he starts shooting the 3-ball more, at the 40%+ rate, he could maybe win the NBA regular season MVP next year.
That was exactly what i was trying to say..
Going down every year in the playoffs? The only decline in Tim's stats is minutes played. I think you're getting his season stats confused with his playoff stats.

Last year he barely got 20 and 10 .. how does that compare to his othere seasons as a spur.
without tim, this team will be movin to another state, this is how serious it is. spurs are bankrolling tim atm
person mention even with his new sidekick wont even be able to save the spurs from reallocating...
But that is exactly what some people dont recognize.
Tony Parker only won MVP because the Cavs were too scared of Duncan owning them that they doubled him constantly at the expense of hoping Parker would choke in the Finals for the third straight time. Good call, Mike Brown.
Put the next best PF in the league on this team and watch Parker fail to get the Spurs out of the first round. Not to discredit what Tony means to this team but the Spurs success begins and ends with Duncan. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a crackhead.
Tony is Duncan's Pippen.
Spurs Dynasty 21 says that Timmy is going to leave because of the Scola and Jackie Butler trade or something.
I see where you are coming from and how you can make that assumption by looking at the numbers alone, BUT it is widly known that Pop has been purposly limiting Duncans minutes the past few years to extend his career and to make sure he stays healthy and strong for the playoffs. And its working. Tim was a beast in the playoffs(do not judge a player by numbers alone), especially on the Defensive end.

Yet some how the OP believes Tim's on the downside of his career. Considering how well Pop has regulated minutes played by the players, I wouldn't put to much in to regular season stats. But if you watched the playoffs Tim has showed no signs of slowing down.
AMEN BRO!
They did'nt double Duncan that much cuz they knew tonys was hitting his jumper through out the playoffs, the only problem was his shots were not falling, go look how many attemps he has in evry game, doubling is not an excuse.
Pretty much every team would collapse on Tim when he had the ball in the post. The only team that played Tim strait up was Phoenix with K.T..
But they still did'nt double team his as much..
Yeah but K.T. held him on every possesion as TNT proved. So I wouldn't say they played him straight up.
If by they you mean Phoenix, then yeah.
