His final stat line looks good but he had little impact IMO...especially when it counted.

I agree that his play isn't as good as the statline may suggest, but he still wasn't the 5th best player on the court. No one other than Kobe outplayed him. And Duncan's defense was fine, he didn't play poorly on defense.
