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.

youre just taking one off handed example and grinding it into the ground for some reason and its not a very good or compelling argument?

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
― lag∞n, Thursday, 12 March 2015 04:41 (nine years ago) link
batum is doing pretty well, seems to have crawled back from that cliff edge

oberto/elson years were peak "duncan is a C" time
― 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.
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 12 March 2015 04:42 (nine years ago) link
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

btw i deeply regret bringing up the best pf ever argument
― Clay, Thursday, 12 March 2015 04:46 (nine years ago) link
like i get the argt that duncan is sometimes more of a PF offensively because he does start sets on the elbow and tiago is more high post low post right in the middle, but that doesnt flow on d and duncan is usually your trad C on D and has been since forevers ago

i like how portland continues to give him (and lillard) free reign to work out their kinks, almost have to
― k3vin k., Thursday, 12 March 2015 04:48 (nine years ago) link
duncan plays center on D and his offensive game can only marginally be considered power forwardish in the largest lineups

Well I did and then you called it offhanded or whatever. What are the non offhanded arguments that i should focus on

I mean if you didn't want me to contest the "usually biggest and closest" thing idk maybe use an offhand tag or something

It's not really pedantic anyway because if Duncan WAS usually the biggest and closest it would be hella relevant so important to nail that down
