That could have been Timmy's last game at the Garden.

Small forwards against Kawhi Leonard this season:
Kevin Durant: 6-19 FG
Joe Johnson: 1-7 FG
Carmelo Anthony: 4-17 FG

I'm 40 years old, man. The last time I cried about the Spurs, I was like...7 years old.

I don't even know how to handle the thought of Timmy retiring.
The Spurs drafted him when I was 16 years old. I'm 33 now. I now have a wife and three sons, and Timmy's been with me longer than all of them (and he's way better in the post than they are, too).
I've rooted for him, cheered for him, celebrated with him and commiserated with him for more than half of my life. Ours is a one-sided relationship, but it's one I care about deeply nonetheless. He has, for almost the past two decades, defined my existence as a basketball fan, which, if I really think about things, is probably a sizable part of my existence as a human.
What do I do when he's gone?
What do I do when he's no longer protecting the rim? What do I do when he's not gobbling up rebounds? What do I do when he's not banking in jumpers from the left block? What do I do when he's not throwing down that same one-handed dunk from right underneath the basket? What do I do when he's not protesting foul calls? What do I do when he's not putting his arm around Tony or Manu or Kawhi or any other Spur on the way back to the bench during a timeout after they've done something really great or really terrible? What do I do when he's not on national TV with a bad haircut (or, in most instances, no haircut at all)?

Oh my god, and what about the Spurs? What about MY Spurs? What do THEY do when he's gone?
For so long, being a Spur has meant the same amazing/beautiful/predictable thing. As soon as Timmy retires, with Pop following behind him, all of that is going to change. I'm sure they'll try to keep their systems in place, but I'm also sure it won't be the same. Basically everything I've known about my favorite sports franchise, the one team that I've cheered for my whole entire life, is going to be different.
The Spurs will be different.
San Antonio will be different.
I'll be different.
Dang.
Go, Spurs, go.
Stay, Tim, Stay.
