Tim and Manu have to retire after this season (THANKS TD AND MANU)

[chasky]

They have no gasoline in the tank, still produce a lot giving a huge physical advantage but is time to move on. Personally, I like that great athletes, like Manu and Tim, retire when still are competitive in some ways, before that the sport kick them off the court, then this is the season for Tim and Manu, just my opinion. Thanks Tim, Thanks Manu.

[TheGreatYacht]

Take Timmy's name off this thread, please

[100%duncan]

Bookmarked tbh :lol

[ElNono]

if not for those two this is a 30pt blowout loss...

[RD2191]

I agree. Parker can gtfo too.

[HI-FI]

Take Timmy's name off this thread, please

[ElNono]

I mean, if Bonner doesn't play, we probably win by 10-15 pts..

[Juggity]

Take Timmy's name off this thread, please

:tu

[Silver&Black]

I wonder was OP saying that when Timmy hit that shot to send it to another overtime??

BTW didn't Duncan have like 20/10 tonight?

OP needs to off himself....

[bobcatfan4life]

A typical spurfan meltdown

[Budkin]

Ok after we repeat they can retire.

[BillMc]

Timmy is still arguably our best player and at worst 3rd. Manu is no worse than our 6thbest player. Both will be very hard to replace. I want them to continue on...

[apalisoc_9]

Meh, would love for them to come back next season, but with different roles.

If they are willing to accept the change in usage rate, would love to have them back..

Gone are days where Tim, Manu and Parker are favored over Kawhi...

Kawhi just won them the finals as the guy, it's only fair to have him be the guy now that they are old as dirt..

[fresnodog]

Are you kidding me! 23 and 16 rebounds! Manu dumb turnover cost game but they did good. That game should of been a blowout. If your only a fan when they win GTFO! cheer the grizzly bears

[DarrinS]

Please bump this thread in December of the year Tim and Manu retire

[apalisoc_9]

Lol typical spurs fans with their Nostalgia BS..

Kawhi is the best and most valuable spur..

[chasky]

if not for those two this is a 30pt blowout loss...

TD was -19 today, so no.

[fresnodog]

How quickly people forget when timmy won the game against okc. No Duncan no rings!

I guess you don't know what "arguably best player" means nor did you manage to finish my sentence where I said at "worst third".

[apalisoc_9]

It's not even arguable...That's the point.

I seem to recall Manu hitting a clutch 3 in that series

[Nathan89]

Tim is worth much more than his contract and still one of the best bigs in the league. If you want that off the team you are an idiot.

[chasky]

Given the opportunities he had, TD should have gotten 30+

[BillMc]

It's arguable.

[testies]

Duncan is fucking horrible this game. Its pathetic the protection he gets here for being american

[spurraider21]

ur too pro-immigrant to see this clearly

[apalisoc_9]

Just look at billmc...

not exatly about being american, but in general..

[DarrinS]

:lol

[ElNono]

TD was -19 today, so no.

meh, TD wasn't part of the actual comeback, so his +/- will take a hit, but we consistently went to him in the post this game... we were basically running Manu/Tim and some Green here and there... that was our entire offense in the 4th quarter and the 3 OTs...

[ElNono]

:lol I mean, if after this particular game you think those guys are done, I dunno what to tell you...

True, but was a close game in the 4th. No 30 point blowout.

Obvious overreaction from OP...

But at some point the over reliance, should stop...specially early in the season when can try out the younger guys in clutch situation..

Dunxan has been awful in the post. I'll give Manu a break, mainly because he is just doing Tony's job right now but damn even Kawhi is in..He's taking every damn possession in the last minute or two..

[ElNono]

:lol that's what Im saying, this would've been a 30pt blowout if Tim and Gino are not there...

As much as the Spurs sucked in the 1st half, Tim was basically the only guy scoring, despite the missed freebies..

He's just who Pop wants with the ball in the last couple of minutes... if Tony would be there, he'll probably get some of those plays too...

It's Pop that gotta trust the other guys more, tbh

[hitmantb]

Pop needs to draw up plays for Green and Leonard in the final minutes.

And since Duncan's our favorite player, do you really want him to play like Hakeem in Raptors before he retires? I want to remember him as a great player.

[MinuteByMinuteSports]

Couldn't agree more. Timmy should have retired after winning No. 5 last June. To me, he's bringing the team down by Pop constantly resting him, if he would have retired when he had the chance, we could have used that money to get someone in his place. By Pop constantly resting him, it brings the team down and costs us losses. Like tonight. Even though he had 23 points, he missed free throws when it counted. So yes, couldn't agree more.

He did draw a play for Green in this game... right before Marc his that bullshit 3...

I do too, but these guys are still playing at a high level... I mean the current state of the league is terrible...

Unless the Spurs luck out landing AD or somebody similar, it's gonna be a while till we ring up again after those two retire...

[tim_duncan_fan]

I just want Tim to not choke at the line or within 15ft, tbh. If he stops being so neurotic and timid and hits 80% from the line, then this is a different game.

I didn't even get to see the game, but I can tell what happened. Tim whigged the fuck out against the Memphis frontline and rushed shot attempts, went up super-weak in the lane and missed two free throws in a row, consequently losing all confidence at the line for the night.

As great as Tim is and was, if he had just a little more confidence in himself, he would have been even better.

Sometimes these shaky-confidence nights cost us games. It's happened before and will happen again. We just move on to the next one.

With all said and done, we apparently played the full Grizzlies to a stand still on a shitty night with no Parker, Kawhi or MVPatty.

We're actually ok.

[ElNono]

Tim went toe to toe with one of the best bigs in the league right now. He had a bad night from the charity stripe, but even that was uncharacteristic.

[Prose]

Lol typical spurs fans with their Nostalgia BS..

Kawhi is the best and most valuable spur..

Bitch please have you heard of something called rim protection.

[Dre_7]

Obvious overreaction from OP...

Over reliance? What else are the Spurs supposed to do when they are playing without Kawhi, Tony, and Patty?

[Mouth is Bleeding]

Goddamn ST is full of some of the stupidest fucks that walk this planet's surface, tbh.

Woe is me.

It's beyond terrible

I would ban countless people
