    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">For the past three weeks, Robert Horry has watched Tim Duncan dust off every up-and-under, drop hook and turnaround jumper in his repertoire.

    He watched Duncan dunk over Brad Miller and Andrei Kirilenko. He saw him open the victory over Sacramento with a 19-foot bank shot. He was there when Duncan totaled 64 points and 25 rebounds in consecutive games against Utah.

    "I'll be sitting on the bench thinking, 'Now that's the Tim that kicked my (butt) in the playoffs. Where's he been?'" Horry said. "I've been sitting on the sideline waiting on that Tim all year."

    Horry's days of waiting might be over. The Spurs head into the final third of their schedule with the Full Duncan as well as the Complete Tony Parker. Both players, having battled injuries, fatigue and their own inconsistency for three months, are now playing their best basketball of the season, giving the Spurs two reasons to be optimistic they can make another springtime climb up the standings. </div>

    Parker doesn't seem to turbo charged tonight, though. No points through the third quarter.
