The problem is definitely Duncan!

Great player, just not tough enough or lacks mental fortitude to take over a game and set the tone…

He is playing not to lose vs dominating and winning the series…

TD, WAKE THE HECK UP AND HIT SOMEBODY OR DUNK THE FREAKING BALL!!!!!!!!

That should work to some degree but not sure Manu can last playing 40 minutes a game. They will need role players to step up when one of the two aren’t on the court, but I guess that’s what HCA is for.

I believe the answer might be to start both Parker and Ginobili and go from there; Ginobili could play the point position thus making Parker an off guard, not a true shooting guard and remember Parker can beat anyone off the dribble. Sephalosha would have to follow Parker anywhere he goes and if he (Parker) stays outside the zone Sephalosha´s rebounding would be neutralized!

Don’t think Duncan can “step up” his play. He has but one level and that’s it.

If you want to channel CLyde “Frazier” dish and swish to your heart’s content- there is no Frasier unless that’s the name of the TV psychiatrist – in which case – goood luck.

The problem for the Spurs now has little to do with Duncan’s play and more to do with solving the problem the Thunder created when they moved Thabo Sefolosha over to guard Tony Parker. Until they figure that out the Spurs will continue to sputter.

I’m surprised that the Spurs lost BOTH games at OKC. Now we have a real series. Not a lot of crying like in the east finals.

“For the Spurs to get back on track, take control of this series, and earn themselves a trip to the NBA Finals, they’ll need Duncan to step up ONE LAST TIME and deliver as we know he can.”

So let me get this right.. Duncan steps up one last time to get to the finals and then that’s it? WRONG!! Duncan should step his game up some more to give the Spurs that extra push, but he’s gonna need to raise his game and keep it there in order for them to get to the finals and WIN!!

Maybe game 4 will remind everyone the Spurs are not a lock for the championship. A week ago, almost all their fans had them crowned.
