After a first season on the sidelines and another in which he joined Gregg Popovich’s coaching staff full-time, Tim Duncan… finally took his turn. He had been sold a team that makes the Playoffs every year, don’t lie to him.
Remember, we are March 4, 2020 in the morning and Tim Duncan … has just officially started his coaching career. Catapulted number one in honor of Willy Denzey but above all to replace an absent Gregg Popovich, the Big Fundamental will not miss his baptism and the Spurs will win against Charlotte thanks in particular to ten caviar from DeMar DeRozan and a great contribution from young people . Not the game of the year, but maybe already the game … of a lifetime, because this pre-COVID meeting will remain Tim Duncan’s only head-coach in the NBA until further notice. Because as ESPN indicated last night between the dessert and the p’tite pear, the best post 4 in history has therefore decided not to repeat the experience.
“Something tells me that it won’t be his passion until the end of his life, but this season he will be effective. “- Gregg Popovich
Pop got it right, so it only took Tim Duncan a few months to get bored of his new routine. His last job? Contributing this summer to the return to form of LaMarcus Aldridge out of the bubble, when his Jedi master was taking the full brunt of Orlando’s health recommendations. A match, a victory, here is in any case an immaculate record and which therefore places Timmy among the greatest coaches in history, unbeaten as he is and that he will probably remain for a long time. A departure from the front which perhaps consolidates Becky Hammon a little more in the skin of the favorite to take the reins (in a year) when Gregg Popovich will sink a well-deserved retirement, and which also accrues the thesis of a Tim Duncan who perhaps just does not want… to be bored more than that. Police the SUV, watch TV westerns and eat pot-au-feu, this is the life that Timmy decided to lead and we can only understand it, because the pot-au-feu is when even really good.
Tim Duncan on the bench it’s over, if it ever started. And for those who would like to pay tribute to the genius of coaching 3.0, we advise you to redo this spring Spurs-Hornets and to inject it into you intravenously. A big Dejounte, a managed money-time and a Tim Duncan who takes good time-outs, and to say that this sentence is already out of fashion.
