Cant you just troll one of the 100 threads already up? And heh at ting away here whereas your team is in the same situation Spurs were but a few hours ago. Gl against Boston anways
Barkley is another one of these idiots who pretends to respect him but constantly takes shots at him (like Kerr). He's the third best center in the league, just had his best playoffs in five years, was their most consistent player in the playoffs and one of the two best bigs in the playoffs period and he should retire; seriously? 25-14, if Garnett put that up they'd be foaming at the mouth.
He will play one more year and win the 5th. He and Ginobili will say goodbye together along with Pop, seems pretty obvious to me.
Next season? No reason whatsoever to not get paid as much as we can afford while staying under the tax.
The year after? He has every reason to take way less than his market value. With Ginobilis contract coming off the books (and hopefully him resigning for cheap) we have cap space to bring someone in to get us over the hump.
Spurs rely on Duncan too much. What he's still able to do for this Spurs team is more than valuable how-ever. On defense he was our lone warrior altering and blocking shots. On offense his jumper and rolling to the basket is money. THe guy just needs help when it comes to front-court duties. Would explain why he seemed to tire as the game went on.
Blame POP for not allowing Tim and Tiago to develop. For example tonight's game, he tried to aliviate some of that duty with Tiago but when you don't play together, it's harder knowing what to do and when. To see the short-leashed Tiago yanked 3-times, yet all series Diaw pretty much offered no-help still got to play through it all. Even Ginger had a bigger leash. It's on you POP, we saw this last season.
Lol is this thread serious ?
He's not the MVP anymore but he's still in the top 5 big men in the league.
If he should retire, so should Gasol, Garnett and Nowitzki...
This would be ing magical, but it's a long shot unless we sign a good Center. Splitter is trash and even our European players that are waiting to come over are not nearly good enough to help us win a ring. We'd need another great player, and not have our role players play like butt hole when it matters.
How do you play 40 min in a close out game against the team that is going to win it all probably put up 25/14 in 40 min and tell him to retire...
Spurs with it all tonight were a play here or there or a call from winning...
Nope. He'll play two more years at about ten million and year and then retire, with Pop and Manu retiring that year as well.
At 36, Barkley in his dreams would he have been able to play a game like the one Tim had tonight and he's telling Tim to retire?
Hey Charles, maybe you were a fat lazy at 36 years old and should have retired, but TD can play as long as he likes. ing chump.
Now I could't blame Tim if he decide to retire.
It's probably the first time he said something about the officiating.
He's the kind of person that if is gonna think that the nba, no matter what, will give advantage to any team they think would be better for the "league" to win, it's really probable that he'll take this thought to the extreme consequences...
Duncan not ready to decide on future

I just recalled the last time Tim said something in public about officiating. Didn't Tim say the officiating in FIBA sucked and he wouldn't play there again? Hopefully he doesn't call it quits because of this.
You said it perfectly. Extremely disappointed in our bench.
This. Couldn't have said it any better senor. Its sad how the front office has ed around with this issue for so long and the minute they get a serviceable big (diaw) with toughness they make a deep playoff run. If they don't get a big that can log big minutes they can just hang it up tbh.
After his performance last night, I hope he still wants to play a few more years. Watching the spurs just won't be the same when he retires and his jersey number is hanging in the rafters.
I believe Duncan got demoralized a lot of times during the series. Whenever Ibaka or Perkins got the better of him defensively, he seemed stunned a lot of times. It's like his demeanor seems to trickle down on the other players. It's just like the way with the Grizzlies last year.
Duncan has to man up, and admit whether he has lost his compe ive mentality. If he continue to play next year, he'll be still facing younger guys in the playoffs. Younger guys with the bravado to challenge him with an "in your face" at ude. He must ask himself if he could still play with a better mentality than what he displayed the past three playoff series, against Dallas, Memphis, and now OKC.
Homer. You think the Spurs will win every year. Spurs are finished as le contenders. This year was there last shot. They will have a lot of money locked into aging players.Spurs can do it all again next year and win it all.
2013 - odd year - Spurs got this !!!
Do people think there's a legit chance Tim retires? I was of the opinion it's pretty certain he would be back. That would suck terribly if he just left. He should announce he's retiring at the beginning of his last year IMO and get a true farewell tour.
If you retire at his age, you probably have 50 years of retirement to enjoy. No one needs 50 years of retirement, though I wouldn't mind. What could anyone imagine doing that would beat being a professional basketball player that Tim would actually do?
Unless the Spurs make a stupid move, I think Tim hangs around, judging by his body language and comments in the prior interview, but I want to see his exit interview just to be certain.
Pretty self-serving, tbh.
he still looks good.
2 years.
He has a lot of game in him and would put a team like Miami over the top. 25/14/2 is great for a player his age imo. But the Spurs need to get a player like Gasol to take the load of Timmy in the post, it's obvious Splitter is a little pansy and will never grow a ballsack. Then again Pau's vagina tends to bleed pretty easily but maybe if he's away from Kobe that won't be the case.
What is it about Duncan that strikes you as the farewell tour type? If he feels it's time then he probably just goes..
