“Tim Duncan has been carried by people his entire life, except his hairdresser,” Richard Jefferson said. “Tim Duncan has been giving credit for so many things that he hadn’t done. Even tonight, this is his first win. He didn’t do anything. This was Will, this was Becky Hammon. He said, he just stood up and was running his mouth and good things happened.”

“He’s been carried by Pop, Tony, Manu, Bruce Bowen, and now here he gets his first coaching win. He did nothing. He is a waste of a player, a waste of time. Honestly, he’s the reason why the Spurs are struggling this year.”
