Buck Harvey: Spurs front office thinks Tim Duncan will retire

[therealtruth]

They had Bosh out there so they were not completely small. Just because he does it doesn't mean it works or makes sense, of course at times some of the things he does is not going to work because that is life and it back fires. I still think if Tim was out there they win, but that is heresay and it happened and they avenged it the next year so all is good. I have watched the past 20 years, Pop is a genius at times and at times rides things too far and it's puzzling, take the good with the bad. I know he did that all season too, that time it back fired though and Bosh got the board off a freakish bounce and the rest is history.

I am glad it worked out the way it did though in the end, the beat down the next year and the story line was unbelievable on that one.

I agree 100%. If TD is out there they win. He's the defensive anchor. He would have made sure everyone was in their spots and that they got the rebound. Also like you said they had no one big enough to box out Bosh so he easily got the rebound. Like I said if Pop hadn't been allowed to illegally subs ute TD would have been forced to be out there.

True.

I just don't see Tim wanting to leave especially after the way we lost this past playoffs. I think he has too much compe iveness in him to just walk away. I think he knows the team could have played better and I can see him wanting to give just one more year to get back on top. I think the only way he does come back though is if the front office is willing to do whatever is necessary to make the team not just compete with OKC and GS but to beat them. It may require Pop to have to change his thinking and we all know how difficult that is for him to do? I really think if Manu decides to come back then so will Tim. Just one last ride Tim. PLEASE.

I don't recall the subs ution as I haven't gone back to watch it, ever. Was it really an illegal sub?

Depending on how bad his knees really are I say yeah, one more season. I think another year with TD will help LMA learn how to be a more complete C/PF. LMA can score for sure and defend but Timmy didnt seem to seperate scoring, defense, rebounds, it was all one big package, including boxing out and setting screens.

That really was Pops worse moment. I also think he made the same mistake this year. Whats worse about it was not only the bad decision and overthinking but the lack of respect. That TD stays classy about it says that much more about him.
