duncan's a great finisher (see his playoff career). patrick ewing (for the most part) was a pretty good finisher (outside of that choke layup v. the pacers)... kareem... and so on. but in today's game, outside of duncan, yes, hard to find a post man who can finish.
nothing to do with running out of gas... since yao has been here he is has never been a great finisher... the dude dont have the skills to dominate the end of the game. as much as we bash tmac... this is where we miss him.
remember the warriors game last yr? philly game last yr? where he had 20+ leads and either blow it to 1-2 pt wins or lose? pounding the ball to yao in the 4th doesn't work unless we get on fire from 3 (like literally on fire--ala the wiz game earlier this yr)
this duncan isn't. but the duncan in his prime was a finisher. you do know he won a ring before parker and manu right?
Build this team around Ron and Yao. I am convinced that Ron has grown up, and he is a true allstar..... There is hope for the future...not sure about this season, but the future is bright. We need to trade TMAC ASAP..... what a sad player to watch
