Where Duncan For Three Happens
AwfulAnnouncing —
Amazing first round game going on between the Suns and Spurs this evening. The Spurs have been fighting back all game and needed a Finley three to send it into overtime. So in OT you're the Spurs and you're down three. You obviously run a three point play for.....wait Duncan?!?!? ...
A Set Play For A Timmy Three?
HalfCourtHeave » Page not found —
Gutsy gutsy call…Timmy must have asked for it, and you know what, he came through. Any questions that it was a set play, check the video (Courtesy of Awful Announcing):
Just look at Shaq on that play,looking so dumbfounded and lost. I mean I know that play was the last thing for him to expect, but look at the time, you got to notice that Duncan is drifting to the three point line. Its a pick and roll yes, but everyone is taught to hedge in that situation…definitely not to double.
As for the game (that shot sent it into double OT, ...
The Top Five Pre-Finals Playoff Games of 2008
CelticsBlog —
A Daily Babble Production So far as 'ways to pass the time while waiting for more basketball' are concerned, list-making has long been a favorite of mine. With so much still left for Celtics fans (and fans of basketball in general) to look forward to over to in the next two weeks, it likely couldn't hurt to take a few minutes to look back at some of the more dramatic events in what has been a very enjoyable postseason -- particularly for the green faithful. These playoffs have already set a rather dubious and anti-climactic record with a whopping 30 games having been decided by margins of 15 points or greater. But that certainly doesn't mean that there weren't a ...

Ball Don't Lie —
As anyone who has ever been around a New York nightclub can attest, Suns center — legend, sheriff, rapper, etc. — Shaquille O'Neal tends to shoot from the hip/lip when he gets in front of a microphone. He's like Charles Barkley, but with a deeper voice and rhythm. Well, Sports 620 KTAR had a mic at Suns practice Tuesday, so, naturally, The Big Outspoken did what he does best: talk. The money quote came when he was asked about the Suns' first-round loss to the Spurs in last year's playoffs. O'Neal said he didn't mind that "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy wasn't changed in the rules during the offseason, but that ...

Top NBA Shots of the Decade
Sports Central | Articles and Columns —
Monday, May 25, 2009 Top NBA Shots of the Decade Leave Comment Print Story By Scott Shepherd The game was over. Orlando had completed their second straight come-from-behind victory in the Q, a place where most had thought they never stood a chance to take even one game. I even sent out a "Hedo!" text after Turkuglo nailed the go-ahead basket with one second left to play in regulation. Amazing. Orlando was up 2-0 in a series that I would have had a hard time predicting that they'd last five games. And then it happened: The Shot. By now, we've all seen it dozens of times, but I'm linking to it anyway because it was just that unbelievable. It was a play that ...

wearethepostmen.com 4/21/2008 — By now, you’ve seen the highlight at least 65,000 times: The Suns play just OK rotation defense, Shaq helps on Ginobili, no one rotates to Tim Duncan — because no one should ever rotate to Duncan if he’s outside 20 feet — and ...
Tim Duncan Hits The Clutch Three —
YOU BEEN BLINDED
The San Antonio Spurs have eight or nine guys that should take the game tying 3-point shot instead of Tim Duncan. Timmay had four career playoff three pointers and none this season until he lined up and drilled the shot to send this great game into double overtime. I have the Suns winning in seven, so I’ll say blowing a 16 point first half lead, a late 6 point lead, and ...

Phoenix Suns 115, San Antonio Spurs 117: I didn’t realize this game was on until there was about 0:15 left in regulation. I turned it on just in time to see Phoenix miss a potential game winning shot, and then watched one of the better overtime sessions I’ve ever seen. Tim Duncan finished the game with 40 points and 15 rebounds, but the remarkable stat for him was his three-point ...

Where does Saturday's Spurs-Suns game rank among the all-time best playoffs games? It's has to be near the top, especially among past first-round matchups. The WB already did a fine job recapping the game, but I figured Tim Duncan 's first three-pointer of the season, which just so happened to send the game into double overtime, deserved an alternate angle. Yes, Spurs fans deserve to be ...

An often misattributed saying goes “If you’re a republican in your 20’s, you have no heart, but if you’re a democrat in your 30’s, you have no brain.” It’s been adapted over the years from comments allegedly made by Winston Churchill in the 1950s, but think about it long enough and it might just apply to the Tim Duncan-era San Antonio Spurs.

Were it not for a Tim Duncan (!) three-pointer with 3 seconds left in regulation earlier today, Phoenix would’ve have 1-0 lead and home court advantage in their just-commenced best-of-7 series with San Antonio. As such, Mike D’Antoni’s strategy for Game 2 oughta be crystal clear : Manu, hip-checked into the 5th row by Shaq . If the latter’s in foul trouble, ...

I guess when Robert Horry's no longer on the team, someone has to attempt those shots.
