Because Duncan's game doesn't work well against an International team. On defense, the man he is defending would pull him away from the basket taking away his strength as an inside presence. Then on offense a true 2-3 zone defense which is very popular in international play (illegal in the NBA) makes traditional post play very difficult.
You could be right about the lack of intensity though, however I'm not too worried about that because when they get to some of their bigger match ups I don't think that'll be a problem.
