    You guys should drop the discussion about Duncan, hell if you can delete posts that some might find offensive why not just delete this whole thread?

    I think the problem with this team is chemistry. Miller is a very good PG, but is never going to be a good fit with Roy, who needs a more passive PG that can spread the floor with good shooting. Roy is like Kobe - he needs the ball. The Miller experiment is just never going to work - no fault of Miller; KP was desperate to make a deal and Miller was all that was left of the premium FAs, after two others fell through.

    Also, Nate is playing Roy too many minutes. You can only last so long playing like that day in and day out.

    Erik Barkley was not a PF.

    I don't think Roy will be a problem after tonight. Any word yet on the prognosis?

    lol. Another one of your crazy takes. I already posted those accomplishments and your still not impressed?

    My top 5 of PF list of all-time looks like this:

    1. Malone
    2. Duncan
    3. Barkley
    4. Garnett
    5. Gasol

    I might even put Duncan ahead of Malone, just because of titles alone. Since thats always what greatness is judged on. Whats your top 5 look like? I'm curious.

    They probably will never tell us anything. Brandon Roy might just disappear, never to be heard from again.

    McHale is just outside my top 5 list. Same with Rodman, Webber, Elvin Hayes and Dirk.

    Worthy was a SF.

    I don't know if I'm ready to put Gasol on that list.

    I realize you're young and don't really understand the NBA- but that's no reason to throw insults when your ignorant. But I'll accept your ignorance as an apology.

    As to great PF's, here's a small list off the top of my head- not in order:

    Malone
    McGinnis,
    Lucas
    Baylor
    Duncan
    McHale
    Debusschere
    Garnett
    Pettit
    C. Barkley
    Hayes

    Some people might add

    Wallace
    Nowitzki
    Rodman
    Brand
    Webber
    Gasol
    Weber

    SO when you see these names and then consider there are 4 other positions with all time greats, Duncan is a tough choice for a top 25. Maybe he is- but just barely.

    OK, that's your NBA lesson for today. Next time yoiu need to be schooled, just let me know, little boy.

    lol you're funny!

    Lucas? Really? Better than Duncan? Debusschere? Baylor was 6'5" hardly a PF. Duncan's credentials don't impress you? okay. George McGinnis? WTF?

    Its humorous when you get shown up on this board for having no clue, you try and talk shit about other people's knowledge of the game. Is it just a show?

    I just don't think he's done enough. He's a great player on an LA team that has won two championships with his help. I just don't think he sets the league on fire like Garnett did when he was younger, or Duncan, or Malone.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Elgin Baylor was not a power forward. While the forward and guard spots had not been given separate designations back when he played (just guards and forwards, not point guards, shooting guards, small forwards and power forwards), Baylor neither played like what has been come to be known as a power forward nor was he sized like one. He was 6'5'' and he was a high-flying wing. Elgin Baylor was a really, really great player but he belongs in the small forward discussion.

    We're debating whether Duncan is a first ballot HOF. You throw out a long list of guys who aren't first ballot HOF'ers. You insult me saying I don't know the game then throw up this list in no particular order to leave yourself an out.

    Look if you just admit that you were wrong when you said Duncan was a borderline HOF'er I'll accept that you just misthought and move on. But to be blatantly wrong and then act like a jackass on top of it, well it really just shows your not only wrong, but horrible at being wrong too.
