Manu still gets to play in the Paralympics
Yeah but what a ride it was..
They still have rings, tbh. But I really think it's time they go. Pop and Parker too. Spurs need to inject some youth into the team and start a new era with the Leonard and Carmelo Aldridge (lol Harlem).
They could have retired after '14 but decided to stay longer so I would say they did this to themselves
This reminds me of Jimmy Johnson and Dan Marino's last game. :depressed
Thank you Timmy and Manu. Unbelievable run.
Forced to watch just to see if Duncan and Manu get any sort of ovation.
No sad ending. Destroyed the fake Miami Heat, Knicks, classy win against the Pistons, kept the lakers from winning other illegitimate championships, destroyed that other team that made it to the finals. Did it all without the leagues help because that's what champions do. Other than that, go Spurs for life. The future is vague now.
They could have and should have retired after 5. They came back for the money. Don't feel badly for them.
I think I'd rather it end this way. They gave EVERYTHING they had left. There are no doubts they left it all on the court. It's time to fix this thing and the Spurs will have plenty of options through free agency and trades. As I mentioned before in another thread, it's time to blow this up. Everyone should be available except the cornerstones - Leonard and LA.
What a horrible end
Well game like this makes it easier to retire.
Fix this thing?? They won 67 this year. People were legit picking them to win it all.. I don't get what happened in this series?Quote:

Nobody remembers the endings tbh, the Spurs cheated death for the last 6 years but happens to everybody...
Spurs were overcoachedQuote:

Big time changes coming next year, expect 3-4 guys to be gone (who aren't retiring).
And their weaknesses exposed by an up and coming coach.Quote:

Well, several bad ref calls, including the worst missed call in NBA history in game 2, directly led to two Spurs losses. So, game 6 should never had existed. Spurs should have won 4-1.Quote:

I would rather have the lottery pick tbh...Quote:

I don't think so. Tim was still our defensive anchor even this season. Manu ran the best bench in the NBA for years.Quote:

Don't forget we also have this Pop and Porky for at least another couple seasons...
I do still hope both come back next season though... they can do whatever they want at this point, tbh
I'll give you a quick recap: Tim Duncan's good knee, the one on the leg he didn't have to drag around, wore out. It hampered the defense dramatically. Danny Green and Patty Mills had terrible years offensively and TP's loss of speed marginalized his effectiveness at the PG position.Quote:

Look at this roster and tell me who you want back. I'm leaving KL and LA off the list and assuming Manu and Tim do not return:
1. Danny Green
2. Patty Mills
3. Kyle Anderson
4. Boban
5. David West
6. Andre Miller
7. Kevin Martin
8. Boris Diaw
9. Matt Bonner
10. Simmons
I'll take them all except for Bonner and Miller. Bonner has been waving the towel around a few mil for way too long.Quote:
