Griffin's Postseason Numbers were 2003 Duncan-esque

[rmt]

Tim Duncan 2003 Postseason:
24.7 PPG, 15.4 RPG, 5.3 APG, 3.3 BPG, 0.6 SPG, on 52.9% shooting.

Blake Griffin 2015 Postseason:
25.5 PPG, 12.7 RPG, 6.1 APG, 1.0 BPG, 1.0 SPG, on 51.1% shooting.

Duncan's is obviously more impressive because he did it through the Finals, but Blake had a postseason for the ages.

I wonder why a Spur fan would be comparing this 2-round collapse to an all-time great playoff run. I hope you'll see the difference between them when compared to their team mates - take a look at the load Duncan carried compared to Griffin.

2003 Postseason:
Duncan 28.4 PER 57.7 TS% 5.9 WS 11.6 BPM

Like I was saying, Griffin played at a level in these playoffs that KG simply never reached.

Kobe stans just aren't smart.

This thread has more to do with Chris Paul than Blake Griffin and Tim Duncan.

There is something we like to call "Defense".

apples to oranges

It was a totally different league back then


2003 Spurs Pace Factor -> 91.0 / Points Per Game -> 94.8

2015 Clippers Pace Factor -> 98.7 / Points Per Game -> 107.8


---------------------------------------------------

apples to apples


2003 Duncan BPM 11.6 / WS48 .279 / PER 28.4

2015 Duncan BPM 7.7 / WS48 .230 / PER 24.1

2015 Griffin BPM 6.4 / WS48 .179 / PER 24.7

Duncan won though.

My bad guys, I didn't think I titled this thread, "Griffin's Postseason was better than Duncan's in 2003."

[ninephive]

Duncan won though.

Thanks for reminding me of what I wrote in the first post.

Thanks for reminding me that certain advanced stats were not as comparable as the raw stats.

Thanks for reminding me that Duncan had a greater defensive impact because I must have missed it sitting in the seats at the 2003 Finals.

Thanks for reminding me that Duncan's supporting cast wasn't as good as Blake's, because that's the point I was making apparently.

[Anaximandro1]

It's much easier to score in today's NBA, tbh


2003 Duncan Offensive Rating --> 116

2014 Duncan Offensive Rating --> 120

2015 Duncan Offensive Rating --> 125

[ninephive]

13 ppg & 9 rpg in 31 mpg for a 38 year old player is nothing to scoff at though ... you're misconstruing why I picked the last few games of a series (2003 Finals - in particular), vs. any few games from any series of any year.

Thanks for reminding me that Duncan gets a pass because he was 38, but Parker doesn't because he was 21 (an age Duncan never experienced in the NBA).

It's pathetic how little defense is respected by most fans.

[Jameerthefear]

OP is just saying BG had a good postseason. Jesus you Duncan vampires are sensitive.
