    It'd be the perfect way to end their careers. Going out on top.
    Not to mention it would help the Rockets immensely in the division. ;)

    They probably will try to get a three-peat, fail because of rising powers in the West.

    And Lebron teaming up with another friend

    Power to the youth!

    this. they aren't going anywhere. They still have too much left and Ginobli isn't done like we all thought after last years finals.

    They will retire when they can no longer contend.

    You have to agree though, the big three are getting older and older.
    The record and their play may not show it, but Pop is having to rest his big three more and more.

    Pop's management and preservation of his marquee players have been a huge part of their success, and obviously the system they run as well.

    I just feel like at some point age is going to hit them. I just can't believe it hasn't yet. :eek:

    Its how I see it.

    Duncan can play 20 seasons, the way the team is built.

    No major injury when it matters.

    It is a small miracle.

    Tough call but I think they have one more season left in the tank.

    No team has ever came back from a 3-1 deficit in the finals.
    I don't see that changing here.

    I also don't see the Spurs choking away three straight games with two of them at home. :p
    Even if they don't shoot at the percentages they have been shooting at, their system still gives them wide open layups, dunks, and open threes.

    Parker is just 32? lol

    I think Duncan and Ginobili still have another 2-3 years.

    Completely agree.

    TD and Manu have contracts that expire in 2015. IMO, both will retire then, joined by Pop (which turns 66 next year). TP will leave and sign somewhere else. Barring a miracle, Spurs will instantly become irrelevant.

    The most dominant team in today's NBA has no answer for them. They'll play till their bodies give in.

    I'd like to see him outside of Popovich's system.
    Namely I want to see him get 16 shots a game.

    Could he be a star?
