one of the biggest things for me about the eye test is minutes played because my eye test was saying "wow rasho is doing a lot of sitting the hell down in these playoffs in this the 2005th year of our lord hmm"

u r being pedantic and also not coincidentally wrong, the spurs have used a lot of huge twin towers type lineups over the years, they have also used a lot of not twin towers lineups in which tim duncan is never the pf, but regardless duncans game is just by many factors more centerish than it is power forwardy

You said he's always the biggest and closest and it's not even close to the dawg. I mean Rasho is about as centery as it gets.

It was the entirety of your argument distinguishing Mchale and duncan. It's also not really an example in any way, it's a definitive statement about Duncan's career which is incorrect.

To get super dfs about it, it was probably them giving burke the spot start. Shved also hit threes which is just variance.
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 12 March 2015 04:36 (nine years ago) link
btw duncan is a good 4 and 5, he plays both sometimes in the same game, yall are both correct, shake hands

Nazr, Rasho, d rob, where are the smaller guys who "usually" play with duncan? Other than bonner there really haven't been many stretch 5s. Throw in Tiago who is a low post guy too and he's played the majority of his career with guys as big or bigger who are primarily low post players.
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 12 March 2015 04:41 (nine years ago) link
my main argument is DUNCAN IS A NATURAL CENTER which is obvious to anyone who either a. understands basketball or b. is not a grumpy man picking stupid fights on a message board cause he is sad about gambling

batum is doing pretty well, seems to have crawled back from that cliff edge

― brosario nawson (m bison), Thursday, 12 March 2015 04:42 (nine years ago) link
For whatever reason popovich thinks centers should play alongside duncan and that they should guard centers a lot.
Right but Mchale is a natural center too. Very similar players in fact.

im sorry duncan played in a lot of twin towers lineups i retract the part of the offhanded statement you have chosen to pedantically pick at

idk, splitter guarded dirk, LMA, and bosh a lot, as did diaw. a lot PFs are too far from the basket for timmy. duncan spends a lot of his d effort in and around the bucket waiting for fools to try him at the rim.
― brosario nawson (m bison), Thursday, 12 March 2015 04:44 (nine years ago) link
batum's turned it around recently yeah, but still has off games now and then where it seems like his head isn't screwed on right. he might cost portland a loss in the playoffs just by like forgetting how to play basketball for a half xps
