No, but I'll lose some of the passion I've had following the team.
I love basketball and the Spurs. I've only missed 1 or 2 games in the past 20 years. Heck I use to listen to them on the radio when games weren't televised. Not going to stop watching just because Duncan and Manu retire. Although the last 20 years have been pretty special.
Just realized I don't own a Tim Duncan jersey. May need to go buy one if he decides retire.
Yes, what's basketball without Manu?
Won't buy league pass anymore but I'll check the box scores to see how the team is doing.

No, i'll always be a fan and continue to watch. Though it will be weird and may take some getting used to.
The last time I saw a Spurs game with no Timmy, I was 11 years old. Now i'm 30.

I actually liked our team when Timmy and Manu were injured. I got to watch players we don't see often and younger guys in new roles. Our ceiling might have been lowered but we still won games, a lot. I don't think Pop is done, personally.
I have been a spurs fan since the spring of '94 which was before Duncan. I became a spurs fan after watching an NBC game way back in '94 which was Magic vs Spurs. Back then Michael had retired so just like every other kid in elementary school I was looking for a new team to root for. For some odd reason even as a kid I hated Shaq. I remember watching David Robinson dominate him in that game and make him look silly. I also liked Rodman's hair colors as a kid along with the way he played the game. Robinson and Rodman got me hooked on being a spurs fan. Ever since that game I have been a fan. During the pre-Duncan years of '94-'97 I experience a lot of lows and very a few highs being a fan. The Spurs lost 3 straight years in a row in the playoffs despite having HCA against the opponent they were facing. The only high during that time was Robinson winning the MVP but that was immediately taken away once Olajuwon obliterated him in the WCF. Then the lowest of the lows happened which was the '96-'97 season where the Spurs became a lottery team due to Robinson and Elliotts injuries. Obviously I can remember a time when the Spurs were playoff chokers whereas most of the people on this forum became fans once Duncan was on the team. I think it will be hard for those new age fans to stay fans but I will still watch the Spurs. Even with the big 3 being finished the way the Spurs are set up they are still a team that can win 50 games which is still pretty good in this league but most fans will take that for granted because they have been spoiled with the recent championship success of the spurs.
:lol what a fake fan, tbh..Quote:

I still get annoyed when the Spurs lose, especially the way they did last night, but you get over it in a few hours after you're out of your entertainment zone, especially compared to when you're younger and you're oblivious to the fact that these players wouldn't look at you if you were on fire in front of them:lol
Kawhi and DG are 2 of my 3 favorite Spurs of all-time, but it's tough to stomach cheering for Lamarcus Anthony..
Yes, it was the refs who caused Tony Parker to miss wide open jump shots in the final minutes.Quote:

of course not, lol.
After all the F ups and ThundeRef we still had a chance to have the ball down two or down three when Mutant Turtle drove to the hole after the non call. Did you catch LMAs version of an intentional foul?Quote:

For the love of.....:depressed
Ya it was probably the refs who caused Durant to brick the key shot when the score was tied 90 -90 with :54 to go.Quote:

It's also funny how everyone thinks the refs are rigging the game for the opposing team. I was watching the game with an OKC fan last night and she was convinced the refs were paid off by the Spurs last night :lolQuote:
