Another big man who was a rookie at the time (Bryant Reeves maybe?) basically dominated him and there were very real whispers that Duncan may be a bust. Of course, he was just working on a weak part of his game and has been a dominate post player since then.

It was actually Greg Ostertag, who was on the Jazz summer league team.

TD finished w 0 points and he did everything left-handed that game.

If TD played in New York, LA or Chicago, he would be the object of the media' affection but he isnt.

He has been the best player of this generation, post MJ, along with Shaq.

People talk about LeBron, who will be great and already is, Wade, Kobe, Nash, whoever else.

TD's name goes ignored. Too bad because we have seen greatness for all of these years and too bad idiots who dont know about the game think he's boring.

TD is spoiled tho. If I was as great as he was, id be sooo pumped that i didnt have to deal with media BS. He has his money (because the SA org. and fans know and respect him) and he gets to live a good life without too much interefernce.

Lucky! Cant wait till tonight tho, series is fun to watch, as is Lebron!

You don't need hype when you've got hardware.....and Timmy's got plenty of that.

I'll take three rings, three Finals MVP's and two league MVP's over being the object of ESPN & Nike's affections.

Cavs v. Pistons is fun to watch.

Cleveland is playing very hard, and defensive game all the way. Cavs have gotta be able to get open and make their shots. Pistons playing zone D, so they will get their shots.

ludo21 · 05-15-2006, 05:19 PM

DID you see that BLOCK!!

HOLY COW!!

ro_50 · 05-15-2006, 05:19 PM

What a block. What a player.

Clockwork Orange · 05-15-2006, 05:27 PM

Who blocked who? (I'm at work)

ludo21 · 05-15-2006, 05:41 PM

Lebron stuffed Rip, dont worry it will be on SC.

Sheed is hurt, went to locker room. Prob just a quick sprain.

ludo21 · 05-15-2006, 06:08 PM

Closed out the half with that 3.

Keepin it close is huge for the Cavs, need a solid 2nd half.

Come on CAVVSS!!

ludo21 · 05-15-2006, 07:09 PM

Another big block by Bron, wow!!

Coming down to the wire, awesome game!!

watermock · 05-15-2006, 07:14 PM

Cleveland has suffered alot between the old browns and the new browns and the cavs. They are whoopin' it up big time! Place is goin' bonkers. Cleveland does have good fans.

ludo21 · 05-15-2006, 07:39 PM

what a game!!!!!

29 secs left!

Cleveland ball, Cavs up by 1.

WOO!!!!

jossjeff · 05-15-2006, 07:40 PM

Rack my Clips for hanging in....

2-2 going back to Phoenix.

I'm thinking that whoever wins game 5 wins the series.

Kaman getting hurt actually may have saved the Clippers. He truly is lost in this series save one game. Magette is a much better starting option.

Takes Marion off Cassell and opens things up for my boys. Mike D knows his ****.

Going to Vegas this weekend and I have tickets to The DaVinci Code on Thurs night.

May ditch both to watch BB ball games. Or maybe find a sportsbook on SAT night. Have to make my annual bet on the Raiders winning the Super Bowl...Save it ****ers.....

I'm happy to see the L.A. stepchildren making a run.

How's that taste Jason In LA?

Unwar KOBE nutriders

ludo21 · 05-15-2006, 07:41 PM

eeeewwwwww

why settle for a jumper, screen n roll, something!!!!

Now pistons with ball chance for a win!!!

ludo21 · 05-15-2006, 07:44 PM

Definitely the Cavs are getting all the breaks. But it is the playoffs and they arent going to call that foul.....

but still....rip should be at the line...

O well, give me a 7 game series baby!!

GonzoLays · 05-15-2006, 07:45 PM

Who won?

GonzoLays · 05-15-2006, 07:46 PM

Cleveland won?

watermock · 05-15-2006, 07:46 PM

Le Brawn didn't have a great game but they squeaked it out.

jossjeff · 05-15-2006, 07:47 PM

LeBron just isn't there in terms of big game production.

Give him a few years and he will own this league though.

Misses a key free throw.

I watched Kobe do the same thing vs. the Spurs back in the day.

His day will come.

ludo21 · 05-15-2006, 07:47 PM

Cavs won!

Man, i just cant hate JAmes, he is just a great person..

Bob's your Information Minister · 05-15-2006, 08:57 PM

Nowitzki with 17 points at the half. What was that you were saying about him, GonzoLays?

ludo21 · 05-15-2006, 09:48 PM

Going into the 4th a VERY close game!

Another good one!

ludo21 · 05-15-2006, 09:59 PM

WOW!!

8-0 run, SA right back in it!
