He was at a high level at the end of '15. He's done so much here, but that series against the Clippers is one of my sentimental favorites. His performance against those two monsters was absolutely heroic - the aging lion. He deserved to win that series, and would have if he had gotten any kind of support from most of his teammates.
If he had been able to play at that exact level this season, there is no way the Thunder win that series. So, no, he shouldn't have quit after the '14 season, because he was still a beast in the '15 season.
Tim said he was going to play until the "wheels fell off", I think we can all agree the wheels have fallen off since he now has TWO bum knees. It's basically how Larry Bird retired after he played through a debilitating back injury until it completely gave out on him.
Admiral could have played 10-15 minutes like Bill Walton since he had his good & bad days.

if this is true.
TD has earned the right to whatever the he wants.
Farewell TD if so, top 5 easily at that.
Tim was even elite on one side of the ball as recently as January. That doesn't mean he necessarily has anything left in the tank now, but I for one am glad he stuck around.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If so im even more pissed at Pops performance during the playoffs. Hs no adjustments and stupid line ups trying the same thing over and over while OKC smashed it wasted away Tims last chance at another ring.
I still like Pop but I honestly think he is a bit overated and his arrogance has cost the Spurs more the 1 championship. Then again he did help win a few so maybe it's break even? I don't know but im really pissed at his lackluster coaching right now.
Buck Harvey's nothing more than a ing drunk
You can't reproduce cartilage..... Even Kobe tried out that experimental treatment and look how he played this year ...
When you lose it, you lose it ...
God, I hope so. , I'd be happier if Ginobili came back and Parker was gone.
Parker will get a silly extension next summer and we will wonder what the is wrong with Pop and RC. Basketball reasons.
Porker is not going anywhere. Unfortunately I think this is the end of the line for Timmy. What a run.
As long as Manure retires
Bird was f'd up physically when he retired. And given that his back made him such a cripple much of the time, the wheels off analysis isn't all that off. But when he played he was still at 37 mpg, 20 ppg, 10 rpg, 7 apg. He was still a a walking triple double (all-star). But he basically retired because the injury took away his consistency. He couldn't be the leader he needed to be and be on the court only half the time.
Duncan will have to decide what the wheels fell off means and what can be rehabbed and what. Judging a guy playing with an injury not fully healed is presumptuous. And unlike Bird, he isn't the point man on the team. He may be fine with basically being a role player.
Timmy! He was never of an ego guy to begin with, so I think he's gonna ride this peace wave like the Buddha he is. Thanks so much Timmy. You and the Spurs have literally changed my life with unselfish basketball, professionalism, and the sense of family. Go Spurs Go!
Gonna suck when Tim and Manu's hall of fame induction get over shadowed by Kobe
Before i heard this rumor, I was just watching some old Timmy stuff.. Also came across this gem
I still think only Timmy and possibly Pop know what he's gonna do. We will see.... I think he can be serviceable still, as long as he can rest that knee. Maybe even come off the bench if need be. I don't think he's done yet.
13 years ago
Those are some ungodly stats...
He's not a good fit with LMA and Danny. We'd need an elite pg or him to play off the bench. He probably recognizes that the Spurs are going to land anyone so he may as well call it quits.
Im hoping he signs with us just before playoffs every year. It'd be legit.
What's your point? He's not righteous enough for your standards? Shouldn't be allowed to make a living? I don't even know if there's any truth to your statement, but who gives a rat ?
Have a couple of drinks and chill the out.
Buck Harvey is not some bull ter..he got legit sources within the Spurs Org..
the mere fact that we haven't heard any news about Timmy seeking a medical/rehab procedure on that knee a month after our elimination tells me he is indeed retiring..
Nice speculation - who cares
