[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Rose & company vs. SA would've been niiiiiice. Should still be a fun game though; both teams play smart and within their system.

[IGOTGAME]

Parker seems to be moving a lot better.

Anyone know of a legit sports betting site for the playoffs?

Danny/Kawhi/Duncan/Splitter is one of the best defensive combinations in the league.

Splitter returning to form and Danny knocking down shots changes everything.

SportsCenter ‏@SportsCenter 11 minutes ago
Tim Duncan has played in 1,311 career games.
Today is the 1st in which he failed to record a field goal (0-8 FG).

[TheMan]

Manu is technically Italian, his nationality is Argentinian. Perhaps they mean Latin language originating countries?

:confusedshrug:
:facepalm

That's like saying Al Pacino is technically Italian...well, he was born in the US so he's an American of Italian descent. Same with Manu, he's Argentine of Italian descent but he's also a Latino because Argentina is in Latin America (Splitter is Latino too, he's Brazilian), OTOH, Spain is in Europe. Pau is Spanish therefore he's European. It's not that hard...

[dubeta]

This is why Duncan has become so overrated the last 3-4 years. The guy can literally disappear in a game and the Spurs can still dominate. Duncan has been an afterthought lately, with Parker and Kawhi running the show.

And yet ppl try and argue him winning that 5th ring means anything :facepalm

Consecutive games with a FG in NBA history:

1) Duncan (1310)
2) Hakeem (1075)

This is the only time he's never scored a FG. It's not a usual thing.

Also, Parker didn't even play in the second half of game 6 against OKC last year...and they still won. :facepalm

[ImKobe]

Tim Duncan goes 0 - 8 with 8 rbs and 1 blk in 30 minutes, Pau drops 23 & 15 with 2 blks and Spurs STILL blow the Bulls out

just goes to show you how overrated his impact is.

Ok, so his mobility is limited as well and he can't effectively guard bigs in the post anymore?

What use does he have at this point?

And You're a ****ing moron for making up shit about Kobe going 0-12

he was 0-4 in 12 minutes against Indiana, that was the game he tried to play on a severly sprained ankle he had and he pulled himself out after the first quarter

:facepalm :facepalm

BOTH Duncan and Kobe are pretty overrated. Let's just leave it at that and move on, no need to nitpick

2008 he got shitted on by KG, shitted on by Dirk in '11, disappeared against OKC in 2012, swept by a historical margin in 2013

still hasn't won a single Playoff game without Kobe, 0-16.

KG outhustled and outrebounded Pau, if you were around then, you'd know that Pau was getting killed for his soft defense and lack of aggression on offense in that series. Go watch the damn tapes.

And Pau got manhandled by KG in all of the Lakers' losses in that series, especially in Game 6, where KG dropped 26 & 14


oh and look at how KG owns Pau's soul on the offensive board in crunch time of Game 1, Pau doesn't even try to box him out :facepalm

Pau was soft in that series, period.

Wow, you really need some new material bro. Here's a list of 50+ games (including some in the playoffs) that the Spurs have won where Duncan scored 8 points or less (which is how many Parker had in that first half against OKC, while shooting 50%):

There's your problem: you think a player who scores few points or has a bad shooting night is having a low/negative impact. That's really not the case.

Parker was literally not on the floor in the 2nd half, and the Spurs had to come back from a 7-8 point deficit (don't remember exactly).

You must have missed this whole past season where Duncan (and Green) have been carrying the Spurs while Parker and Leonard sat on the bench injured or tried to find their games.

Things are almost as they should be in SA - Duncan anchoring the defense and Parker, Leonard and Mills scoring. Get your act together, Diaw, and Spurs, let's go REPEAT!

Parker was literally not on the floor in the 2nd half, and the Spurs had to come back from a 7-8 point deficit (don't remember exactly).
Oh wow, so not even that?! Ok, so literally your main argument is that in one game of the playoffs, the Spurs were down by 7-8 points and over the course of the next 24 minutes came back to tie the game at the end of regulation (scored 1 more point than the Thunder on average every 3 minutes of the game).

Wow. Ok so help me out... What about the fact that we were 3-2 with Tony on the floor the whole game in that series? So we won 3 out of 5 games against the Thunder with Tony playing the whole game, but could not have possibly won a 4th if he stays in? I guess I'm not sure exactly what you're implying. If all it is is that we could outscore a team by 8 points in a half with Tony on the bench, I think I can be ok with that, because it's fairly obvious that we did that countless times with other players on the bench (and it didn't even take 24 minutes!)
