WARNING: Tim Duncan Kicks Ass in Game Fives

by Tom Ziller on May 2, 2006 8:11 AM PDT in News

A sample of Tim Duncan's Game Fives over the past few seasons when San Antonio is tied 2-2:

2003 - First Round vs Phoenix - 23 points on 13 shots, 17 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks. Spurs win game and series in 6.

2003 - Second Round vs L.A. - 27 points on 22 shots, 14 rebounds, 5 assists. Spurs win game and series in 6.

2003 - Finals vs New Jersey - 29 points on 18 shots, 17 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks. Spurs win game and series in 6.

2004 - Second Round vs L.A. - 21 points on 15 shots, 21 rebounds, 4 blocks. Spurs lose game (see: Derek Fisher) and series in 6.

2005 - Second Round vs Seattle - 20 points on 21 shots, 14 rebounds, 3 assists. Spurs win game and series in 6.

2005 - Finals vs Detroit - 26 points on 24 shots, 19 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks. Spurs win game and series in 7.

So yeah, he's pretty good. If he has to carry the team, he will.

Kenny Thomas has done a solid job being active on TD. I hope Adelman's not afraid to send an instant double over. Make their shooters continue their relative hot streak. Please don't let Duncan prove himself again.

Now, I may be afraid of Timmeh. But we know at least one guy on the Kings isn't.

Let's go Kings.

Me too

I put that on my desktop as soon as i saw it. However, I have since replaced it with the photo from that photo essay of "The Play." I put the one where it shows Martin leaning away from Timmeh about to go back up with it. You can also see the back of Artests head, but its a great photo.
