i didnt think i would but had to leave the room where people were to be alone and let loose some tears for like 30 secs. very emotional. not so much sad we lost but sad its over for him. spent my entire teen and adult life watching tim. i fuckin love him. thanks for everything!!
Well Timmy will be back nxt yr so get use to him being here....Timmy ain't going no where...
Was like watching a movie as he walked away from the court...:depressed

I think our small weaknesses, enlarged this series by Pop you could say, are rather obvious and with a few tweaks we'll be great again.
I would love for both Tim and Manu to be on board once again. They still make us better and you can't better than those two for less money.
Timmy to the end. Still a star.
Me too. I criedQuote:

I think Pop, everyone would gladly take him back though frankly he hasn't looked good for a long time and he had the 0 point 0 rebound games this season. Age has caught up. I'd like him as an assistant coach if he does retire and we might have a vacancy the way Messsina is getting interviews.Quote:

welled up watching him leave through the tunnel...felt like it would be the last time I saw #21 leave the court
What the point? To come back only to another playoff dissepointment as this team will much likely collapse once again under the pressure...Quote:

Cry, no. Sulking, fighting back tears all night yes. It's the end of an era, movement. Like watching a band live your whole life then seeing it without the lead singer...fucking sucks, so pissed
5 was when he retired not today
Sabotaged the team by being the #3 scorer on good shooting and dishing out more than double the assists of anyone else on the team. What a sabotage.Quote:

I don't think this is it. I can see him returning for 6 but in a reduced role ~10-15 minutes a night.
His defense is his only saving grace. It could all come down to that right knee.
Don't know why but the part that got me the most was seeing Nazr Mohammed call out to Timmy as he was turning and then seeing them hug. It was a reminder of all the great times, especially that epic 2005 title run.

I have been watching Tim for over 20 plus years since he was a sophomore at WF but I was actually happy with the way he left the floor. The ending was perfect for the player he was. He got to play out the whole entire 4th quarter and I thought it was cool how Pop respected Tim by not taking him out because knowing Tim he wouldn't have wanted a standing ovation. At the end Duncan seemed genuinely happy and reflective and because of that I could be at peace with it. The OKC players all gave him respect and even the crowd did as he exited in the tunnel. I also thought it was cool how Tim acknowledged the fans as we walked in the tunnel. Besides losing the ending was great. I hope he retires because outside of this game he was terrible in this series.
