Sad ending to Timmy and Manu's career

Manu still gets to play in the Paralympics

They still have rings, tbh. But I really think it's time they go. Pop and Parker too. Spurs need to inject some youth into the team and start a new era with the Leonard and Carmelo Aldridge (lol Harlem).

Yeah but what a ride it was..

[daslicer]

They could have retired after '14 but decided to stay longer so I would say they did this to themselves

[BillMc]

This reminds me of Jimmy Johnson and Dan Marino's last game.

[myhc]

Thank you Timmy and Manu. Unbelievable run.

[BillMc]

Forced to watch just to see if Duncan and Manu get any sort of ovation.

[~O~]

No sad ending. Destroyed the fake Miami Heat, Knicks, classy win against the Pistons, kept the lakers from winning other illegitimate championships, destroyed that other team that made it to the finals. Did it all without the leagues help because that's what champions do. Other than that, go Spurs for life. The future is vague now.

[Keepin' it real]

They could have and should have retired after 5. They came back for the money. Don't feel badly for them.

I think I'd rather it end this way. They gave EVERYTHING they had left. There are no doubts they left it all on the court. It's time to fix this thing and the Spurs will have plenty of options through free agency and trades. As I mentioned before in another thread, it's time to blow this up. Everyone should be available except the cornerstones - Leonard and LA.

What a horrible end

[cd98]

Well game like this makes it easier to retire.

Fix this thing?? They won 67 this year. People were legit picking them to win it all.. I don't get what happened in this series?

[ElNono]

It's actually what you would expect to happen when your two best guys over the years finally hit father time...

It's gonna be a while until we recover, tbh....

Mmmm, not so sure dude, i don't know if Rio games will be initiated at all

[davidbowie]

at least you went out fighting on a contender

not like you know who

[Mugen]

Nobody remembers the endings tbh, the Spurs cheated death for the last 6 years but happens to everybody...

Spurs were overcoached

[Beaverfuzz]

It is what it is.

Big time changes coming next year, expect 3-4 guys to be gone (who aren't retiring).

[Beaverfuzz]

Spurs were overcoached

And their weaknesses exposed by an up and coming coach.

[K...]

Mmmm, not so sure dude, i don't know if Rio games will be initiated at all

Basketball is indoors, I think they'll do it. Or were you referring to the coming civil war between conservatives and liberals?

[dbreiden83080]

Spurs without Duncan and Manu next year..

Wow!! I mean WOW!!

Well, several bad ref calls, including the worst missed call in NBA history in game 2, directly led to two Spurs losses. So, game 6 should never had existed. Spurs should have won 4-1.

But still, one blowout loss to OKC is better than three or four blowouts to GS.

I would rather have the lottery pick tbh...
