"Some days you feel proud & think you did great. Other games you think, ‘What the am I doing here? " per ESPN. Maybe he can do what Ray Allen almost did this season and and sit out a chunk of the season only to sign a 1 year deal to play for the team for the stretch run? I'd be up for that.
Some players feel lost after so many years, like doing coke and weed but replace that by having Porker and its worst, who knows? I dont want Manu to be a 10 min guy under that stupid Pop scheme.
I dont see a reason for him to stay, same with Timmy when his team mates are playing like garbage the whole season and then a 1st round exit, you have money a family, etc.
I'd love him to be back for the later part of the season...getting that Celtics record and possibly helping the team in the playoffs.
He hit some big shots tonight knew he would but he looks done.
He should just take some time off and comeback in Feb-March next season, not retirement yet.
I hope he's gone.
White guy benches another white guy.
Pop is so "raciss"!!
Had they been thoroughly beaten or lost to a crappy team, I think they definitely would both hang it up. But given it was the Clippers and very close, less likely. Manu will retire after the Olympics. I'm fine signing him at the ASG.
You player fans acting like Manu and Tim are your family members. It only matters how the team fares, not how the individual fits into it. Why do you give two s about whether or not Manu plays 10m a game? It's a basketball game and Manu is making millions.
truth nukes tbh
Manu has the heart and desire to win of a Champion and no one can take that away from him, not even father time. But when you get older, muscles don't do what the mind tells them to do. It happens to everyone eventually. I'd like to see Manu take performance enhancing drugs or steroids if he continues. JK
But seriously, his terrible FT% (For him) and lack of ability to get around players on offense or stay in front of them on defense, was tough to watch. I don't want to remember this version of Manu and I won't. Manu was a cold-blooded killer who was the difference in the Spurs winning at least 2 Championships. He can still contribute to the team but as one person said - maybe 10-15 minutes a game.
The Spurs need a 2 guard that can take the ball to the rim and draw fouls. I'm not sure who that player is right now but if the can even scratch the surface of what Manu used to do for the Spurs, the team will be alright.
Well said, thong avatar. ^^^^^
Or is that a t-back?
truth nuke on these insurgents
He won't retire yet. Property taxes in the dominion are expensive.
It's time for Manu to retire........................only to come back like Jordan wearing the 45 and win us another championship in 2017, tbh.
Because he said so?
. I've been really on him this year when I have to remember he's going to be 37 years old. I guess I always thought if Timmy can play this well at his age than Manu can. Now looking back at all the beatings Manu's taken through his career and all the international compe ions he's performed in I'm very impressed he made it this far when most SG's are already retired by this age. I always thought the way he played he wouldn't make it past 34-35. Knowing the kind of compe or he is I know he doesn't want to play this way. I've been watching the last few games I've gone to (I've never seen him do it before) he runs laps and does certain drills on the sidelines now during the timeouts. It's probably harder coming off the bench to produce when you're cold. I know we've been frustrated with him but I've also seen him frustrated a lot with himself when he can't keep up and do the things he used to be able to do. Last night he was struggling just to run out there. I just thank Manu for all he gave us and wish him the best whatever he decides to do. I know it's not an easy choice for him. Basketball is his life and now that he can't produce I know it's a depressing choice to make for him.
At this point in his career there really isn't anything Manu can do that SloMo can't do better. I hope he retires instead of looking really really awful next year. It's always depressing to watch a great player not know when it's time to walk away.
He looks better than Parker.
Shows up once in 5 games signs with Spurs
Spurs would pay more
Back only at vet min
He looks better than Parker.
You could say the same about the team itself. Why do you care how the team fares? It's still turning a nice profit and the people that are part of the organization are well compensated. Truth is all of us on here are more emotionally invested in the team/players than we should be. As a fan, it will be sad to see Manu and Timmy go.
