He should make this year his last IMO. Will turn 40 very shortly and his role has diminished enough that it's time to go IMO. What a ride.
It seems we always ask ourselves this question this time of year for it seems the past 2-3 years..But have the wheels fallen off? Or do we determine that this postseason?
IMO I don't think he's done. His role THIS year has completely changed..he pretty much is playing the 03' Robinson role (defense/rebounding). Now it's something that we arent really accustomed to and his offensive production took a fall because of LA. But IMO he's still the most important player out of the "Big 3". Yeah he may not be as useful against the Warriors but he will certainly be needed against OKC, LAC or Cavs..
And like I have stated in the past his "knee" was more precautionary more than anything..so I don't think that plays into his decision. But what if we win 6? Does he call it quits? Or help with a chance of repeating??
Thoughts?

Nope
No, with two knee braces he's twice as powerful. Idiot. Casual fan. Cat lover.
Jokes aside this was a back to back game where pop pulled the whole team. We won't know if Duncan is done until the playoffs. It might just be a coincidence that Duncan's decline coincides the arrival of the best big man since Robinson and the maturing of kawhi. So maybe Duncan is pulling a Boris and the rest Is precautionary. Yes, evidence says Duncan can barely move and smart players will exploit that. But we know nothing about his actual pain and inflammation. We've been wrong before.
He is nowhere near done.
Maybe. Hope not. He'll tough it out for the playoffs I'm sure.
Offensively more of less yes - he relies strongly on others feeding him, but defensively he's still a great rim protector. Top 5 in the NBA this season.
He'll play one more year and then hang it up in my opinion
There is no one that can replace what Duncan brings to the team at his price tag. No one.
And he's still a great defensive big, good for a bucket when needed, and the leader of the team. Spurs fans should hope Duncan stays as long as he wants.
You are a fukin moron, he is most likely going to come back another year. Why should he make this his last year? His mere presence on the team keeps us at contender status. Some of yall are so dumb.
He is a very smart player. He may be less mobile and there are matchups he won't be able to play against during the postseason but advanced stats and the eye test point to him being a very good defensive player even still
Obviously not a spurs fan but from the matches I've seen from him he is done in terms of athleticism, but I remember that Bulls game when he went up against Gasol, you could see the fire in his eyes and how badly he wanted to go up against him
his heart/mind is still in the game not his body not anymore
If Spurs ring this year, I could see him heading off into the sunset. If not, hopefully he'll be back for one more shot.
Please stop posting, you are only embarrassing yourself.
He's done when he announces his retirement
plz don't tell me the truth I don't wanna hear it!
having a guy like Duncan is still valuable though, he brings experience and hunger for your team, despite his age.
Duncan wants back to back; all I'm saying.
Obviously his body aint what it used to be and so hes saving everything for post season. Youre right he did show some fire. After he came back from injury he showed some brilliance but Pop wants him to hold that brilliance til the playoffs. I think TD is going to be a major contributor in playoffs. Havent checked his stats but hes still great defensively and think his assists have been higher than theyve ever been.
Duncan has THE best b-ball IQ in league which compensates for much of his physical abilities
He's playing possum.
Dude is less than a week removed from a 16 point, 10 rebound, 4 block game. smh
He looked pretty athletic raping DeAndre last year

This, when it was time to play last year he did.
