I've been following the TV companion on nba.com, and things seem like they were insane. Timmy with a 0.4 shot? Anyone watch?

Timmy hit a shot with .4 secs to spare. His most complete game of the season.
Lucky to come away with that one. The focus wasn't there tonight. Atlanta is a scrappy team.

Next game is in Mexico City against the wolves on Wednesday. Technically an away game but should really be a home game.
Timmy with 23 points (67% shooting), 21 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal. The old man still has it.
Duncan is the oldest player in NBA history to record a 20-20.
Is that a real stat Ulrich?
Very nice. Timmy becomes the 2nd player to ever record a 20-20 after age 37.

0.4 shot
Still cringe at that number
Enzo, I'm actually not sure now. That's what basketball-reference says and that was the initial word around the internet, but that b-r only goes to '85-'86 on rebounds.
That's interesting. I would have thought Kareem would have done it but maybe not.

Game was a bit maddening as they seemed to hit every 3 whenever the Spurs pulled away.
Good win at the end with Duncan's great shot, possibly the only one he's going to shoot with a good arc to it this season.

The sports center app says that Timmy and and Robert Parish are the only players over 37 to do so. I'm with you, woulda guessed Kareem did it at some point.
From NBA.com
quote:
THE FACT: Tim Duncan became the oldest player in NBA history to record a game with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds at 37 years and 221 days old.
As stated by some guy on Reddit:
"It should be clarfiied this isn't 100% accurate, as basketball-reference only goes from the 85-86 Season. Wilt was 37 his last year and averaged 18.6 rebounds, so I'd think he'd have at least one 20 20 game."

Wilt was born August 21, 1936.
His final game was May 10, 1973.
Wilt retired before he turned 37.

Well my source was dubious at best

Was the super intellectual Duncan stuff a creation of the Onion and other bloggers are using it too?

•Tim Duncan was in vintage form, collecting 21 rebounds and scoring 23 points including a game-winning jumper with 0.4 seconds remaining in the Spurs' 102-100 win over the Atlanta Hawks. Later, Duncan celebrated his heroic outing by giving himself time to consider whether or not Jonathan Franzen's impact on American literature is overrated, before deciding that any such critique was inherently premature.

Duncan has made us the most spoiled fans in all professional sports.
I agree. When you win 50+ games every year you can watch knowing there's a good shot of winning each night. Can't say that about the Eggies or the Cowboys.
So spoiled that I still have nightmares about .4 and Game 6. The wins are expected. The losses are devastating.
The best thing I can say about how spoiled we are as a fanbase is,
I can't remember the last time I legitimately worried about whether or not we'd make the playoffs. It's basically a given in my mind, year in and year out.

I really liked the lockout shortened season because there was a game almost every night. This waiting 48 hours or more between games is killing me. MOAR WINS.
For all the local Spurs fans, Travelzoo has a special on some of the games around Christmas time. Just in case anyone missed it.

F'n fire in Mexico City arena has the game delayed until who knows when.
Beat me to it.
This sucks. Probably not gonna help Mexico's case for hosting future games.
San Mexico>>>>>>>>>>Mexico
Didn't see any technical difficulties in Mexico coming....
Team has left the arena.

I was wondering why the Fox broadcast was showing soccer and NBA TV was just black.
Game officially cancelled.
