The Oklahoma City Thunder knocked out the San Antonio Spurs in Game 6, 113-99, on Thursday, moving on to the Western Conference Finals to face off against the Warriors. The slight upset led to a mix of shock, excitement, and nostalgia on social media, as many predict this will be the end of the Spurs' Big 3 with Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili possibly leaving the team next season.
As always, the wild basketball action led to a frenzy on social media. Here's some of the best reactions:

Man we need Timmy and Manu to come back for one more year. This can't be the last memory.

I hope Duncan and Manu take their time making their decisions, only because I'm not ready for the finality of it. Give us some suspense.

Even if Duncan/Manu retire, they start w/Kawhi & LA. Major issue will be finding long-term solution at point guard/increasing team speed.
