34-year old PF/C Tim Duncan is showing no signs of slowing down yet. He played in 78 games (77 starts) for the Spurs last season and he averaged 31.3 minutes, 17.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.5 blocked shots per game. Duncan has now played in 977 games in his 13 years with the Spurs (975 starts) and he is averaging 36.4 minutes, 21.1 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.3 blocked shots per game. Duncan has played the second most games in Spurs’ history with 977. He is also the all-time leader in rebounds for the Spurs with 11,335 and he is #4 in assists (3,093), #7 in steals (734), #2 in blocked shots (2,235) and he is #3 in points scored (20,641). Hopefully Duncan will retire with the Spurs and keep moving up in the record books.

30-year old power forward Matt Bonner is stepping up for the Spurs lately. In his last five games, Bonner is averaging 23.2 minutes, 8.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. The Spurs really need him to keep playing well as they are trying to avoid playing the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. Bonner has now played in 59 games (7 starts) for the Spurs this season and he is averaging 17.5 minutes, 6.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.

With Tony Parker out of action the Spurs needed George Hill to replace him as the starting point guard and he is playing well. In his last five games, Hill has averaged 34.0 minutes, 13.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. Hill has now played in 69 games (34 starts) this season and he is averaging 29.0 minutes, 12.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. George Hill is one of the better kept secrets in the NBA but the city of San Antonio knows that he is a big time player.

With Tony Parker out do to injury and Richard Jefferson not playing up to his ability it seems as if the Spurs will need to lean heavily on Tim Duncan the rest of the year. Duncan has played in 66 games (65 starts) for the Spurs this season and he is averaging 31.7 minutes, 18.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 blocked shots per game. The Spurs will need a little more production out of Duncan offensively because they can’t afford to draw the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs.

The Spurs have watched 35-year old PF/C Antonio McDyess’ minutes this season and it’s helping keep him fresh and healthy. McDyess has played in 58 games (31 starts) for the Spurs this season and he is averaging 20.7 minutes, 6.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. McDyess teams with rookie DeJaun Blair to give the Spurs the muscle they need under the basket.
