Gooden eases Duncan's load

Gooden eases Duncan's load

The Spurs signed Drew Gooden to improve their playoff chances, and also relieve some of the pressure off Tim Duncan.

Gooden has become San Antonio's leading post-up threat whenever Duncan goes to the bench.

"This is probably the first time we've called a post-up play for someone other than myself," Duncan said in the wake of Gooden's 13 points in 15 minutes on Saturday night.

"Not since David [Robinson], probably," Duncan said of the last time the Spurs had a player capable of posting-up other than himself.
