- djdalai, on 04/20/2008, -13/+69That Timmy Duncan is probably the most underrated NBA player in history. Its unfortunate that he gets such little press nowadays when he's probably one of the best citizens of his sport.
- threemagic, on 04/20/2008, -5/+41Timmy is NOT underrated, maybe under marketed. There is no one that knows basketball that thinks TD isn't one of the best, if not THEE best, power forward to ever play the game.
I dugg you up because he doesn't get press for being a good guy. That's wrong. - inactive, on 04/20/2008, -5/+36Post-game interview went like this:
Reporter: Tim! How did it feel to hit that clutch three...your first of the season!?
Duncan: It was fun.
*crickets* - hstege, on 04/20/2008, -3/+24All 4 clutch shots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q2THsRO_O4&NR=1
And here's ESPN's recap (actually visible, plus with sound): http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopag ... - rey1867, on 04/20/2008, -1/+22Because Tim Duncan hadn't hit a 3 pointer in 2 years....
- L4WL3RS34L, on 04/20/2008, -3/+22"He ALWAYS thinks he's fouled, and he NEVER thinks he fouls anyone."
Who doesn't think that way in the NBA? - n0t0kayipr0mis3, on 04/20/2008, -3/+22I Think Steve Nash had the best shot of the night to tie it in overtime right before they lost.
I tried searching for a video couldn't find it. - Synematic, on 04/20/2008, -2/+20If by bland you mean "not an arrogant showboating prick" like the other stars, then yes.
- TomK88, on 04/20/2008, -0/+18Would you leave Shaq wide open from 3 if you could avoid a 3-point shot from a better shooter? Probably.
- StevesJobs, on 04/20/2008, -6/+22I would be more comfortable if it didn't say *super* in that title.
- instapho, on 04/20/2008, -0/+15Little known fact, Tim Duncan is a nerd! He's an avid D&D and video game player... He wanted to be nick named "The Wizard" but his teammates thought it was too dorky. Dugg for fellow nerd Tim Duncan
http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-24-135/Kindl ... - bigervin, on 04/20/2008, -0/+15considering Duncan had not made a 3-pointer all season long until that shot makes YOUR COMMENT completely ridiculous...
- Sharknife, on 04/20/2008, -4/+17***** you Duncan! You're ruining my life!
- hstege, on 04/20/2008, -1/+13making your first 3-pointer in two years when down by 3 as the clock drops below 5 seconds to play is pretty damn clutch.
- phantom_mullet, on 04/20/2008, -2/+13I gotta give LeBron the respect he deserves for being a great athlete, but IMHO, he seems like an arrogant prick. I mean, tattooing yourself with "Chosen 1" and calling yourself "King James"? Can you get more cocky than that?
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -1/+12Spurs; Ginobili hit a running layup to win it at the end of double overtime.
- xdvx, on 04/20/2008, -4/+14Tim Duncan career 3pt 19%
- laseractive, on 04/20/2008, -9/+18Just one more highlight for the greatest power forward in NBA history.
- darkrabbi, on 04/20/2008, -1/+10It's because of the way he carries himself, unlike most other superstars in the league he shows almost no emotion. One can appreciate his borderline mechanical efficiency and cool calm demeanor but unfortunately his personality doesn't translate into marketing viability.
- TomK88, on 04/20/2008, -1/+10Duncan isn't a 3-point shooter and nobody would have expected him to take that shot.
- 10pins, on 04/20/2008, -5/+13buried for ruining my afternoon yesterday :(
- Phisher34, on 04/20/2008, -2/+9Still one of the greatest buzzer beaters in my memory:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TdZHffwOF8 - kolinkoolface2, on 04/20/2008, -1/+8i think the most clutch shot was steve nash's in the corner right at the end of game. Nash is thee clutch player on the NBA.
- uiguy3, on 04/20/2008, -1/+8In this situation why wouldn't you just foul the other team? They then shoot two free throws and even in the worst case you win by 1.
- cuoops, on 04/20/2008, -1/+7Yep, Shaq said he is the best on ESPN the other day.
- mlvassallo, on 04/20/2008, -3/+8Suns Fan? Or Mavs Fan?
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -7/+12Yup, Spurs are floppers which is why Ginobili didn't draw a single charge the entire game and two Spurs players fouled out.
Tim Duncan = Greatest power forward to ever play in the NBA - ScottMitchell, on 04/20/2008, -0/+5That clip is great for several reasons. First, it shows Duncan's amazing 19-foot shot over Shaq to take the lead. Second, it shows how different the NBA is today. The game was 73-72 at the end of regulation! I would be surprised if a single Western Conference game this entire series had a team score less than 90. And finally, and most memorably, Fisher's 0.4 second shot for the win, which sucked the life out of the Spurs for that series. The Lakers had no business winning that series; Fisher's miracle shot propelled them to the Finals (after beating the T'Wolves, which the Spurs would have done, too).
- hassanchop13, on 04/20/2008, -3/+8someone should post about how every time the suns lose, an army of people, including all the coaches, players, and fans of the suns cry 5 ***** rivers.
- Danktolker, on 04/20/2008, -3/+8Someone should also post the 2 HUGE flops by Nash in that game. EVERY team in the NBA flops, not just the Spurs.
- commiecat, on 04/20/2008, -0/+5Worst case isn't winning by 1. Worst case would be Spurs hitting the first, missing the second, getting the rebound, then hitting the 3 and you lose by 1.
I give the Suns credit for trying to get a stop, which is what would have happened in almost any other game. I think most NBA coaches would live with Tim Duncan needing to hit a three-pointer to tie the game at the end. More important question would be why they didn't double Ginobili in the second OT with Parker having fouled out. - hoovcluck, on 04/20/2008, -3/+8why didn't he use the glass?
- ScottMitchell, on 04/20/2008, -0/+5We'll have to see how his body holds up over his career, but I wouldn't be surprised if LeBron ends up being the best "athlete" in the NBA's history. His size, speed, strength, and durability are insanely freakish.
- ScottMitchell, on 04/20/2008, -0/+5Saying "super" is redundant because it doesn't need to be said since the word "clutch" is already used, so it's redundant.
- stukdog, on 04/20/2008, -11/+16I like the Spurs during the year because they play hard, stay out of trouble, and their three stars seem like good guys.
But, as soon as it gets to the postseason I despise them. They get into dirty play include flop, cheap shots and incredible whining. (And I'm not even a fan of any other NBA team...just calling it like I see it.) - ProjectGSX, on 04/20/2008, -0/+4Youd think his geek cred would go further on Digg.
- mlvassallo, on 04/20/2008, -0/+4Duncan's numbers are far better than Malone or Barkley. Also... number of rings.
- PrettyNat, on 04/20/2008, -1/+5grow up.
- ScottMitchell, on 04/20/2008, -3/+7I think it's primarily Bowen. He's a very dirty player. In Game 1 there was a play where Steve Nash goes up for a layup (and made it, IIRC), but hit the deck coming down. On the replay you see Bowen undercutting him. Par for the course, for Bowen. It must be frustrating playing against him. If he did half that ***** out on the playground, he'd have had his teeth knocked in by now.
- TastyWheat, on 04/20/2008, -0/+4Are you kidding? Tim isn't very flashy but Parker and Ginobili are great. I can't wait to see more of this in the playoffs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdRK5CTEJN0 (Ginobili can even turn invisible!)
- ScottMitchell, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3Quick, look behind you, because my joke flew right over your head.
- futebollounge, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3everybody hates the spurs as a team but likes them as individuals.
- WMD404, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3I'm a Suns fan. I gotta give the Spurs big props for having the mentality of "we're the champs, this is our house" and I gotta give the Suns major thumbs down for lacking mental toughness and being unable to put away a game when they had it won. They blew a lead that was somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 points. We like to blame the officials for a lot of the ***** that goes down when the Suns play the Spurs, but this time the Suns definitely shot their foot off. Shaq got into early foul trouble due to some calls that seemed questionable to me, but that is no excuse.
I believe it was Raja Bell's job to guard Duncan on that shot and Duncan caught him napping. - zzzpoohzzz, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3who doesnt know duncan is a nerd?
you can just tell... have you ever seen an interview with the guy?
the only reason he hardly gets any coverage is because he's a nerd... he's one hell of a player... but hes absolutely boring - ScottMitchell, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3That statistic is not a very pertinent comparison in this series, IMO, b/c it looks at ALL playoff series, many of which have a very clear favorite (who usually wins Game 1 (as well as the majority of the remaining games)). What I'd be more interested in is seeing what the winning percentage is for a series when you have two teams that are fairly equal in ability. I bet it is closer to 60% than 80%.
- HigherLogic, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3Here it is, the #2 play of the day, about 1:45 in. The play before was Duncan's 3-pointer, and the #1 play was Ginobli:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/17572/nba-top-10-april-1 ...
By the way, I thought even this was better than Duncan's 3-point shot:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/17576/nba-boris-diaw-wit ...
Great game though, even though the Suns lost. No big deal, they'll win this round :) - morninglorii, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3My fault. I'm not a huge basketball fan (I like the sport, but I don't follow the players). I know that Duncan is a great player, so I assumed he hit a lot of threes. I guess the "first three of the season" comment in the video went right over my head as well. I apologize.
- stormgren, on 04/20/2008, -2/+5no, other people call him king james and the chosen one. He didn't choose those nicknames, and prefers LBJ. And in press conferences, etc, he always emphasizes defense and team effort, not himself and not offense.
- ScottMitchell, on 04/20/2008, -1/+4Watch the Finley 3 that sends it to the first overtime. He got so open b/c of a nice moving screen by Oberto. A very heads up play by the big man, as you know the refs aren't going to call a non-egregious off-ball foul in that situation.
- 2NYC3, on 04/20/2008, -7/+10the Suns are still going to win the series
