TheHype Is there any doubt left that this guy is a robot? -
Zorgon I think this dude is definately one of the greatest of All-Time at this point. Even if he retires now.

And One So quiet. So lethal. -
carty64 The Spurs fans went from "OH GOD...." to "OH MY GOD!" in about 2.4 seconds. -
LABallTalk This was probably one of the most clutch shots i've ever seen. It was a superstar like play and just shows how great TD really is! -
fastbreakblog Clutch is the right word for TD. He is great. I wish the NBA had a few more like him.

Tim Duncan, With Emotion AND 3-Point Range [NBA Playoffs]
Deadspin —
This is about as pumped as I've ever seen Tim Duncan, and the fella has as many national championships as Derek Jeter. And yet ... in Game 1, of Series 1, in 2008, he lets loose into the sky with a free-flailing yippee-yahoo fist pump. I guess when Robert Horry's no longer on the team, someone has to attempt those shots.
San Antonio won 117-115 in double overtime to take the 1-0 series lead. Timothy Duncan finished with a cool ranch 40 points. Stay tuned for Game 2, when more rarities surface: Shaquille O'Neal makes a 3-point shot. Bruce Bowen helps up the guy he just knocked down. And Steve Nash ...
Dallas at New Orleans Game 1
The Play In California —
Well, we just had a gritty game where LeBron James fought out the toughness of the trash-talking Wizards to pull out Game 1. That was followed by one of the greatest NBA playoff games, EVER (not even close to an exaggeration). And now we have a matchup between two of the best point guards in the league. I believe such a combination of events is why heart monitors were invented. I think this will be my last one today, and I'll kick back for Houston-Utah. I'm realllly exhausted, and I went from 1 visitor to 2 on the last live blog. That isn't exactly great incentive to continue with this. ...
Tim Duncan Hits The Clutch Three
You Been Blinded - Now in Dazzling HD —
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 ...
Tim Duncan Gets Super Lucky Hits Clutch Three Against Suns, My Spurs Hatred Reaches New Peak
FanIQ Blog —
If you've come here looking for praise of the Spurs and Tim Duncan, then I suggest you leave now, because you won't find it here - ever.
Tim Duncan didn't hit a clutch shot to force the second overtime. He lucked out and hit a shot he never takes. There's nothing clutch about that at all. It's like picking some idiot out of the stands and asking him to hit a half-court shot. Occasionally the idiot hits it. Was he 'clutch'? Hell no. He was lucky, just like Duncan.
Now, once again, the loathsome Spurs - and their hideous brand of basketball - have the upper hand on the Suns. I don't care ...

Tim Duncan Insanely Good
Sports Blog - football, basketball, and baseball —
As mentioned below, Duncan’s three was insane. The guy was wide open, it was completely uncontested, but still: Any three Duncan makes with the game on the line is pretty freaking insane.

That was the case last year, and it’s the same this year.

Tim Duncan for 3???
Hail Mary Jane —
Ok so this was just an absolutely sick play. The Spurs were down 3 with less than a minute to go and they set up a game tying 3 pointer for Tim Duncan?!?! Wow and he knocked it down.
Dude, the NFL Draft is this Weekend
Cincy Jungle —
NFL.com ran a mock draft that included beat writers from their respective home towns (note to NFL.com: there's nothing better than watching an ad before a full minute video of Mark Curnutte to find out a pick that takes one single second to read... goooo corporate marketing). It's Phillip Merling for you dial-up folks. Keep it simple, let us read it. I have to question that pick. Why take -- general consensus here -- the third best defensive end in the draft as your #9 pick? That would counter Marvin Lewis' theory that you just pick the best available player -- not certain position -- of the draft. Especially for a position where the team already has ...
Tim Duncan and the scourge of the garbage three
The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL. —
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 the Spurs are forced to settle for a Timmy D three with their first-round lives already in the balance. You know what happened then.
The minute Duncan drained the shot, I thought but one thought in my brain: That is so garbage. It’s the same thing I say at least once or twice a night at the gym. There are always one or two really good players that kill you the ...

The 2008 NBA Playoff Recap: What We Learned [Nba Season Wrapup]
Deadspin —
The 2008 NBA playoffs did more than just entertain us for the last seven or eight months. It taught us stuff. Some stuff we only suspected, and some other stuff we never even knew before. Here is that stuff. The Atlanta Hawks have fans...real, flesh-and-blood fans. Boston fans, on the other hand, apparently are bandwagon jumpers. The NBA will not tolerate "menacing" hand gestures. Ever. Kevin Garnett never forgets. "Third person" is LeBron James' preferred method of speaking. Basketball and rapper slap-fights can go hand-in-hand. Trash-talking Lebron James ...
Shaquille O'Neal has a Few Things He's Like to Get Off of His Chest... [Shaq]
Deadspin —
Sports 620 KTAR showed up at Suns practice on Tuesday and provided The Big Angry with an opportunity to lay waste to everything in his path. The first target: Gregg Popovich, the yellow bastard who dared to (successfully) employ the Hack-a-Shaq strategy in last year's first round playoff series between the Spurs and Suns. "The only thing I call cowardly is when you're up by 10 and do it. That's a cowardly move. I didn't say nothing last year, but that's a coward move. They should really do something about that. When you're down, I can see using it as a strategy, but when you're up 10, 15 points, there's really no need for that. I was ...
NBA Two-a-Days: San Antonio Spurs
The Big Lead —
Snooze. 50-55 wins. Playoffs. You’d think they’d be in the mix for the title … but let’s face it, the Spurs got lucky against the Suns in the first round, barely got by the Hornets at home in Game 7 when Jannero Pargo got trigger happy, and were dusted by the new-and-improved Lakers in the Western Conference Finas.
The jig is just about up. Everyone else has gained ground significantly in the West, Tim Duncan’s going to be 33 when the playoffs start next year, and Roger Mason is not Robert Horry.
But the 11-year run of playoff appearances, assuming Manu stays healthy, is not in ...
Remember the Alamo: Phoenix Suns look to Rise from the Ashes in Season Opener
Bright Side Of The Sun —
Throughout history fans and nationalists alike have rallied around the symbols of their greatest defeats. Wounded Knee. Pearl Harbor. The last hundred years of Cubs baseball. And just ask a Serb about Kosovo Polje.
But in what must be one history's greatest ironies, both Suns fans and Texans rally to the same Alamo cries. Both suffered tremendous defeats on virtually the same ground.
In the case of the Texans that defeat eventually lead to independence and the formation of the Republic of Texas. History has yet to reveal if the Phoenix Suns will rise from the same ashes to achieve similar glory.
However brilliantly ...

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas/Holiday! What did I do? I spent the day with the tube on, of course. I tuned to all five games on Christmas Day for the most part... and I particularly want to touch on the Lakers Vs Celtics match-up. Oh, but, first I'm going to sniff the four other games. I don't know what's up with the New Orleans Hornets. Or maybe it's about what's up with the Orlando Magic. They're 23-6 and people (including me) don't think they're for real. But, ya think ...
Top 25 Phoenix Sports Stories of 2008 - #6 - Suns eliminated by Spurs…again

The San Antonio Spurs ousting the Phoenix Suns from the postseason seems like a yearly occurrence. The 2007-2008 season was no different. Suns’ fans will forever have the image of Tim Duncan hitting a friggin’ three-pointer in Game 1 of the series to remind them of the pain that was the brief ’08 Playoffs.
How rare is it that the emotionless Duncan hits a three? He had gone 47 playoff games without making a three. His ...
