Reminder: Duncan in 08-09, without Ginobli, turned in a Lebron like series

[masonanddixon]

Had a 4 point game, got absolutely dominated by Dirk, did nothing on either end of the floor.

It sure is nice though when your backup power forward is a guy who is used to putting up 17/10 as a starter against anyone in the NBA.

[Ranked 12th]

OP I've got the perfect avi for you

Reminder: in 06-07, when he won the league MVP, Dirk lost to the 8 seed Warriors while being outscored by his own teammate Josh Howard. More to come.

Your attempt to discredit Duncan's consistent excellence is falling on deaf ears. It's a career that Dirk himself would salivate at having.

Pay no attention to OP.

He's been exposed as a racist who only hypes up white players.

Reminder: Dirk Nowitzki scored 8 points in an elimination game, against an 8 seed, after winning 67 games in the regular season, while being the MVP of the league.

[Uncle Drew]

Reminder: Dirk Nowitzki got heavily outplayed by Tim Duncan in the 2006 playoffs, while the latter was being double-team everywhere, while Dirk got single coverage.

Duncan's '10-11 playoff run was even worse.

Took his 61-21 team down the toilet in the first round against a 46-36 Memphis team...and in a series in which he averaged 12.7 ppg on a .478 FG%. In the clinching game six loss, he put up 12 points on 5-13 shooting, with 5 TOs.

Another series without Manu.......

You're going to ignore the fact that he lost to a 7 seed? You're going to ignore the fact that it's a dropoff from his regular season stats? Also, it's not very hard to not lose in the playoffs when you miss them in your prime. :roll: B-b-b-b-but 45 points per game!!!

[masonanddixon]

Oh shit. Good ass point. There's a trend here. Duncan gets exposed on both ends without Ginobli to take over and without having the luxury of being able to play aggressive defense...

Agreed, like he finals of 2013, when Manu was at his best when he was sitting on the bench, whereas Duncan took over in the close out game 6, only to be denied by Kawhi and Manu (WOW, who would have thought), free throws.

Get out of here, you idiot.

lol, Duncan was old as shit that series. Yeah Manu played like ass but so did Duncan e.g. MISSING A POINT BLANK LAYUP.

The only reason they were even in the series was because of Lequeers constant choking.

[Uncle Drew]

lol, Duncan was old as shit that series
He was indeed, and yet he still dominated. 30/17 at age 37. By far the greatest performance ever by a 37 year old.

[Uncle Drew]

but so did Duncan e.g. MISSING A POINT BLANK LAYUP.

Oh no, he missed a lay up after dominating the whole game and playing 45 minutes at that age. :mad:

[Uncle Drew]

Fun fact: in game 6, Manu had as many turnovers as Duncan has missed field goals: 8.

[masonanddixon]

He was indeed, and yet he still dominated. 30/17 at age 37. By far the greatest performance ever by a 37 year old.

Against a shitty Miami squad that was maybe 40% as the one Dirk creampied.

And Spurs only got there because of the Durant injury.

That team needed bullshit ref help to get past the Mavs in the first round. Oh and Dirk creampied Duncan that series, too.

[masonanddixon]

Oh no, he missed a lay up after dominating the whole game and playing 45 minutes at that age. :mad:

An absolutely enormous wide open lay up.

Much like the single Free Throw Dirkules missed in Game 3 of 2005-2006 that you were so quick to point out as evidence of his choking.

The weakest supporting cast in West history had a player average 18 points in the finals, and had a player averaging 14 points. You know who Duncan's second leading scorer was in '03? Parker. How many points? 14. :roll:

The weakest supporting cast in West history had a DPOY caliber player: Tyson Chandler. You know who Duncan's DPOY caliber player was? Duncan himself. :roll:

Oh, the season when Dirk's supporting cast had ppg averages of 22, 15 and 13 in the finals. Amazing. :applause:

Isn't 06 the season in which Dirk was almost outscored by a role player in the finals (Jason Terry)?

[masonanddixon]

Who in hell put up 22 a game besides? Sure as hell wasn't Howard or Terry.

Oh my, it is. :eek:

Dirk Nowitzki 137 points (22.8) on abysmal 39% shooting.
Jason Terry 132 points (22) on great 48% shooting.

Jason Terry would have been finals MVP me thinks.

[Uncle Drew]

I have come to the conclusion that Dallas was a Jason Terry led team, the real alpha of the Mavericks.

Yes, 38% shooting Josh Howard and 33% Stackhouse were incredible.

Or was it Desegana Diop and Erick Dampier who were the true greats?

Wade had the REFS and the better supporting cast.

23, and he made 11 of them per game. :applause:

Stubborn Pop had Splitter on the bench until game 4 leaving Duncan to battle Zach and Gasol while covering for Bonner and Blair.

[rmt]

Except Dirk has absolutely been his equal head to head.

The difference being Duncan's VASTLY superior supporting cast.

Maybe you're forgetting that half of the game is DEFENSE where Dirk doesn't touch TD.

[pastis]

yea his 08-09 and especially 10-11 playoffs were awful, but he gets the pass because of his ring. people dont give enough crdit to Robinsons game and value in the first Timmy years and later the pop, parker, bowen, ginobilli era with other great role players, fitting perfectly due to popovichs work and brilliance.

[ninephive]

Duncan still averaged 20/8 on 53%. I wouldn't say that's too bad. He was just deferring more to Parker because he was playing at an MVP level (29/7/4 on 55% for the series). Too bad those guys had basically zero help that series.

[Zach LaVine]

Wasn't this when Duncan was having health issues? People thought he was done, but then he came back healthy a few years later.
