Intensity by Tim Duncan
April 28, 2001

Thanks for all your questions. Mike asked how we feel after going up 2-0 on the Wolves. We feel great about where we are at this point in the playoffs. God willing we will all stay healthy. That is really all we have hoped for this entire season. We just want to be able to put our best foot forward throughout the playoffs.

Steve in Australia asked me about our attitude in game two. We really felt that game two was even more important than game one. Very few teams have ever come back in a best of five after falling down 0-2. We were very intense and wanted that win badly. Now we need to keep that intensity up.

Cindy asked if we care who we play along the way. We worked hard to get ourselves home court advantage throughout the playoffs. We will take whoever comes our way. We are focusing on one game at a time.

I was given a bunch of emails that you sent in wishing me a happy birthday. That was awesome! Thanks for all of the people who wrote in with birthday wishes. I especially appreciate that all those emails came in from AD's site! I was 25 by the way. My teammates were giving me a hard time in practice about being an old man. Somebody pointed out that at least my insurance goes down now!

AD didn't even give me one of his t-shirts for my birthday. In fact he didn't give me anything! That's the way he is though. Actually, most people know that Tone and I are close and like to kid around. We came out in the same draft class, we are the same age, we have similar humor and we like to relax and have fun.

Tom pointed out that in the last few months AD moved into my neighborhood, got his haircut like mine and even bought a Ferrari! He is just following me around, trying to be like me! He has three dogs, two big ones and a little one. Just like me. It's like a fatal attraction. All kidding aside, we get along great and he is a good friend.

Thanks for your support and emails. We appreciate all Spurs fans!
