I feel sorry for Tim Duncan

[Aremid]

The FO has screwed him over more than his own wife! Thanks Pop, RC, and Peter Holt for refusing to put all star talent around the greatest PF in history. Can't wait to see if Golden State or Houston knocks us out in the second round next year!

[cjw]

What the heck were you expecting? It's not like any of these teams passed us this offseason.

[Baam]

T-Vag with a weaker PO run than Bonner gets 9M. Sad for Timmy.

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs are a bad matchup for Dwight Howard. Duncan shouldn't be crying tears.

:lol Golden State

Not getting worse would have been nice but with Gino's decline and no meaningful addition we are indeed getting worse.

[Aremid]

The overall competition is a bad thing. Even if the spurs beat them consider the energy they'll expend having to get past these teams. They are too old and will be burned out by the next round. The finals were the perfect indication of that

[L.I.T]

Cliff diving after three days of free agency, when spurs typically aren't overly active at the onset. Offseason crown ftw.

Goddamn. Spurs fan has gone unhinged.

Holy fucking shit. How do some of you make it through the season like this?

[Russ]

Duncan should get down on his knees every night and give thanks.

For ping pong balls and for Amy thinking John Gabriel was creepy and for the Spurs' FO.

Spurs get a single rebound (not taking TD out) in game 6, and this kind of posts doesn't exist.

[Agloco]

Post count = 2. Everyone welcome the first of many of The Great Yachts trolls.

Spurs get a single rebound, win the title, and still won't repeat as champs like every year they've won FOR THIS VERY REASON!

[cjw]

Not getting worse would have been nice but with Gino's decline and no meaningful addition we are indeed getting worse.

What about Kawhi / Splitter / Green / Cojo all improving? Marco will be a solid addition as well, albeit not to the degree most people on this board were hoping. On the Heat's side, Allen and Battier will be getting older as well. My biggest worry is that Duncan pulls a Steve Nash and turns old overnight.

I've been saying the same thing over a month now and people on ST want my head chopped off.

:cry

[FireMicoHalili]

Um...

There are other areas for improvement. Vet. min., what's left of the MLE/room exception, buyouts we can get on the cheap come February/March...I'm looking at trades.

UNTOUCHABLES: Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Splitter (hard to sign bigs his caliber, even if soft), Leonard, Green, Belinelli, Diaw (valuable playoff experience), Thomas (no trade value at all)
TRADEABLES: Bonner, De Colo, Joseph, Mills (little to no value), Neal

PATFO wanted Neal because of his playoff experience but the price has gone way up, as reports said. We can S&T him with Bonner and a pick (hopefully not next year's) to get someone valuable.

[biskvito]

FO is not going to risk a big change like that, not until Duncan retires, then it's rebuild mode.

So what are you gonna do when you do meet Mr Ginobili? Slap him in the face for being such a burden?

Come on, I know he's as old and done as _ason Kidd but he'd probably contribute more on the court than you.

Funny, that sounds very similar to what 99% of people SpursTalk would do if they saw you.

[Aremid]

Lmao! Look out Lebron! Jeff Pendergraph is coming for you!! What a fucking joke of an offseason. Hasn't anyone seen Moneyball? They still fucking lose at the end!

[TheGreatYacht]

They still fucking lose at the end!Co-signed. :lmao at all these Spurs fans in the forums breaking their heads trying to figure out if the Spurs have used the MLE on Belli and Pendergraph. Spurs fans praying they still got a shot and AK47. All of these Spurs fans wouldn't be tormenting themselves had Manu taken less $$$ or retired. So greedy on his part. SMH. :rollin

[ElNono]

It's funny to see someone embrace Tim Duncan and kill Pop and Manu when Tim Duncan himself, by every single outward appearance that he's ever offered in 17-ish years with the Spurs would be the first to say that what the Spurs have done over time has happened in large part because of Pop and Manu.

In other words, there's ironic awesomeness in someone claiming Tim Duncan and then disclaiming everything that Tim Duncan stands for.

LOL why would Green or Parker be "untouchable" ? The only untouchables are Leonard and Duncan.. PERIOD. Everyone else should get shipped out if we can bring in better, tougher talent

Ok, now this is hilarious. :lmao

[Johnny RIngo]

It's sad. At least Robinson had a young Tim Duncan to back him up when he got old. Duncan has a geriatric Argentinian, the softest big man in the NBA, and a Frenchie that's made a career out of choking in the playoffs.

[KL2]

Danny Green had to set an NBA finals record for 3's and Parker was a top 3 player last year, thinking the same thing will happen next year is laughable. Spurs aren't winning next year, I doubt they'll even get out the first round, they added absolutely nothing to help them beat Miami.

The Spurs can build off their defense. It was the best in the NBA. The key is improving the offense against good defensive teams.

Yes the Spurs FO has been screwing him over and over again, do him a favor and trade him to the big D please!

[kobexxx]
