Matchup of the Game: Spurs vs. Grizzlies Game 2
The matchup of the game for Game 2 in the Western Conference Finals will be between Tim Duncan and Zach Randolph.
Duncan had a 6 point, 10 rebound game in Game 1, which wasn't the prettiest offensive numbers for the Spurs' cornerstone. He did make up for it on the defensive end, holding Randolph to 2 points (1-8 shooting). Duncan's commitment to stopping Randolph...
How Duncan would look like in a Celtics uniform
Hard to imagine it has been 16 years since the San Antonio Spurs won the 1997 NBA Draft Lottery and drafted Tim Duncan out of Wake Forest. Duncan not only changed the future of the Spurs, it also changed the path for the Boston Celtics who had the best odds to get the No. 1 pick in 1997. The Spurs drafted Duncan and the Celtics drafted Chancey Billups and Ron Mercer.
For the...
Tim Duncan Would Have Looked Surprisingly at Home in Celtics Jersey Without Draft Lottery (Photo)
In case you have blocked the 1996-97 season from memory, you know the Celtics were really bad. They won 15 games and finished with the worst record in the Eastern Conference by a wide margin. Only the Grizzlies, who won 14 games, were within five losses of that terrible Celtics squad.
Hopes were high, though, because the Celtics had the inside track for the first overall pick. (The...
Tim Duncan, Spurs Helping Reject Absurd Cliché That Defense Does Not Matter in NBA
My wife sat down on the couch, glanced at the TV and caught a glimpse of Tim Duncan‘s incredulous mug making it clear that he disagreed with a foul call.
“He still plays?” she asked. “How old is he now, like 50?”
That is patently absurd, of course. Duncan’s not a day over 49. And after he scored just six points in the Spurs’ victory over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the...
Spurs-Grizzlies in West Finals 'not going to be pretty'
Forget about pint-sized point guards going crazy for 22 points in a quarter. Spurs-Grizzlies is going to be ugly. Meat-grinder ugly.
"It's not going to be pretty," Tim Duncan said after San Antonio dispatched Golden State to return to the Western Conference finals.
"Sorry, it's just not gonna to be. It's going to be two teams are going to try to impose...

Video: Tim Duncan pushes and stares down former Spur Richard Jefferson
The San Antonio Spurs aren’t exactly known as a team with a mean streak, especially after they waived volatile forward Stephen Jackson before the playoffs began.
So for Tim Duncan – the gentlest of giants and the man who has set the tone and (lack of) attitude for the team – to push a former teammate during Game 5 of the Spurs’ series against the Golden State Warriors, and...
Tim Duncan can photobomb folks when he’s not even in the same room (photo)
Throughout his career, San Antonio Spurs big man Tim Duncan has been labeled as a player who possesses more substance than style, less flash, more function. So, it should come as no surprise that he hasn’t been caught up in the photobombing/videobombing craze that has become something of a fad among his NBA colleagues, namely Chris Bosh (who is turning it into an art form), but...
Tim Duncan with photobomb to end all photobombs
Tim Duncan, 14-time NBA All Star, three-time Finals MVP, two-time league MVP, is no doubt talented at basketball.
But who knew the Spurs star had the ability to photobomb someone who isn't even in the same building as him?
Duncan appears to have a reassuring hand on the shoulder of a fan donning his jersey while whispering sweet nothings into the man's ear for the illusion...
