I'll be there! GSG!
Early game thread here....because...
Coincidence? the (21-5) Spurs take on the lowly-but-ever-pain-in-the-ass Pelicans on the night #21 and the architect of 5 () , Timothy Theodore Duncan, goes up forever to the rafters..It is the official END
..

Now it's official..Thanks TD!
BTW the ceremony will be held after the game..Hopefully these Pelicans don't spoil it per par..
Good piece, and I kinda agree some..
The bottom could fall out pretty quickly for this team if Aldridge doesn't pick it up, Mills hits an extended shooting slump and DLee/Dedmon combo regressing..This is seems quite an envisionable scenario....

Does anyone think NBA league pass will continue to broadcast beyond the game for the retirement ceremony?
I'll be there in attendance, i'm a excited. Just one more day
Woj in this wonderful video essay: "... within the Spurs, they remember Duncan seeking out his teammates in their lowest, most vulnerable moments offering counsel and encouragement"..
This is so true man..Timmy would be the first to get up off the bench to give a pat on the shoulder of the scrubbiest players to ever don a Spurs uniform..He didn't even give up on Jeff Errors..
Love Timmy. Scary thing is he could've ended up with double the rings.
They should have won IF..: 2006, 2013
They could have won IF...: 2012
They might have won IF...: 2004, 2015
* really a couple of bounces/whistles in all these years..
Spurs were clearly best team in the league in 2006..I honestly think they would have taken out that Heat team (+Stern) in 5 hadn't been for THE FOUL..
Don't forget 98, honestly. Had D-Rob not tried to be 'the man'
thanks Manu
Facebook has pix of the shirt they're giving out, I dnt have facebook, can someone post it.
'95, got Dream shook in the post season of his MVP season!
Looked all over fb for it, not finding any pics.
Sorry, I believe it's on his Black Jack page.
Found it!
The tweet is deserving of discussion in a separate thread.
When there is so many interest on hating on Kyle around this board, you know things are stale and guys have nothing better to do.
Aside from that this game thread is special in being beautifully graceful with Timmy mentions and honors for his retirement ceremony.
But this tweet brings up some interesting points... which we had already discussed and know about: that the trio of Lamarcus (with his subpar play), Tony and Pau has been sinking the starting group to the point the team is barely breaking even or even losing ground with those guys on the floor.
It's definitely worth discussion on it's own.
The Spurs are gaining an advantage with the bench on the court, which is extremely atypical for contending teams. Normally your most played players are creating the advantage (that’s why you play them the most!). It’s not the case here. Compare this to teams like the Warriors and Clippers, who each have their starting players near the +20.0 mark, or even the Jazz who have Rudy Gobert and Gordon Hayward above +10.0 per 100 possessions. The Raptors and Rockets have Kyle Lowry and James Harden who always pull every lineup they play in near the +10.0 mark.At a +5.1 Net Rating, Leonard currently has the worst plus-minus of his career. It’s hard to have a good defense with both Gasol and Parker on the court together, and this has confused the advanced stats since San Antonio’s defensive rating has been poor with Leonard on the court this season. Leonard ranks 22nd among small forwards in Defensive Real Plus-Minus, while in previous years he’s always been the standard among wings.
^Couldn't even post in what is essentially the Tim Duncan retirement ceremony game thread without talking about Fathead.
Obsessed.
