bmags Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 10:07 PM) Simmons is gonna eat people. He's going to need a really good coach though to maximize his talents. He does get trapped a lot and then still tries to make the exotic pass. It needs to be him taking the ball down the court on transitions but not a huge amount of his possessions. There was a point in the game where he got stopped by a 6ft guard 7 feet from hoop and he was just looking around to pass it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it as classy and unflashy as usual. Wouldn't expect anything less from Timmy and his professionalism. Great PF ever, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'm bout to be "that guy" Probably a good 60% of people singing Tim Duncan's praises everywhere right now were people who spent 10+ years derisively talking about how "boring" the Spurs were, and only started giving the Spurs proper respect when they beat Miami that year (and had come close the year before).

Those two teams though were quite different. They did speed up pace, they did amp up passing. They did just use to slow the game down to a crawl and use their fantastic defense to their advantage. It was boring. But also, it was insane to watch this 38 year old man go out and give you 16/10 every night, and still have playoffs where he dominated. More than that, to watch a guy that was absolutely the face of the franchise so gracefully bring in other teammates and stars without any drama.

Being one of the few who will admit to loving "boring" basketball, Tim Duncan was an incredible gift to the NBA. The point has never been about how flashy or fun you are, it is to win. Duncan, and the Spurs, did a hell of a lot of that going back to The Admiral too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I kind of like Dinwiddie. He has been way more impressive than Grant. It's nice having a dleague franchise now to possibly use, though with waivers it's not guaranteed we could store dinwiddie down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
