Duncan

I can't help but think that Duncan is playing rather poorly right now. Certainly not MVP stuff now. Tim is quick and has good footwork, so why in the world does he always just get the ball and either stand with his back to the basket waiting for the double/triple team to dish it out, or he turns around facing his opponent and swings the ball while trying to figure what to do? <br>
<br>
In the mean time you have players like Mighty Mouth that knows this and streaks in to strip the ball from Tim. Tim can be very effective if he would be more decisive and make his move when he gets the ball instead of standing and waiting for something to happen.<br>
<br>
When he does that he cathes the opponent off balance and forces them to either foul him or get lost in his dust.<br>
<br>
Tim, you need to be more demonstrative. Take charge like the MVP you are and if stuff ain't falling then force the issue and drive the basket, pickup fouls and send their guys to the bench.<br>

I agree. I haven't seen a game yet, but I bet he's checking out the perimeter to see who is coming and who will be open. Like you said, Spursman, he needs to make his move quickly and decisively and not settle for scraps and offensive rebounds and putbacks. That stuff is for Malik. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.sahoops.net/"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.sahoops.net/SCsigBlack.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--> </p><i></i>

I'm sure Tim will come around, spurs start slow remember? <p></p><i></i>
