Is it worth it Spurs fans???

[TheMACHINE]

Is it worth getting emotionally invested with teams that play against the Lakers. It's already EXTREMEMLY depressing that your very own team is fishing...but I can only imagine how it feels to jump on a bandwagon of another team, only to get your hearts broken a second or even third time. I'm sure 99.9% of you fans are all over Denvers nutz. Why not just jump on the "winning" teams bandwagon so you can feel happy atleast once this year. You're team is on the downhill. Timmy is done. Manu is done. Plenty of room in LA's bandwagon.

:lol

If ya think about it...

It's kinda needed:

One postulates that when a force, such as Laker fan and the ilk they are spawned of, which includes media blowhards who fawn for Q and TV ratings, starts to grow exponentially, the ONLY way to counter that is to have other teams fan combine and work to be an immovable object.
In essence...it breaks down to the following:

THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND.

[DrHouse]

:lmao at how pathetic Spur fan is.

When MY team loses I don't give two shits who wins because I'm not so pathetic I need to get satisfaction watching some OTHER team do what MY team couldn't do.

[HarlemHeat37]

it's not about Spurs fans at all..

the Lakers are the most hated franchise in the NBA, you can see that by looking at any team's message board..there isn't really any other team that comes close..

there are many reasons why...

- they're the team of bandwagoners..like the Cowboys..

- the media pushes shoves them down our throats, even when they're average, like 2005, 2006, and 2007..

- their franchise success has been heavily based on the fact that the location of their team is in Los Angeles, the most desirable place to play in sports..

- the bias from the NBA and officiating..

- the amount of low-character guys on the team throughout their history, particularly Kobe Bryant..

- the most annoying and horrible fanbase in the NBA..not all of them are bad, don't get me wrong..there are some good ones here like Allanon, and RealGM has a number of good ones..every fanbase has annoying and bad fans, but Laker fans take the crown, particularly Kobe homers..

[duncan228]

Not this Spurs fan.

It's easier not being emotionally involved. If the Spurs aren't playing I'm just a fan of the game.

[Kori Ellis]

Is it weird that you spend your lives on Spurs forum talking about the Lakers? Is it weirder that you are trying to taunt Spurs fans when you are playing the Nuggets? :wtf

I'm not even it sure I understand the question in your post whether it's "worth it." I don't think many Spurs fans are "extremely depressed" about the Spurs being out of the playoffs. Nor do I think many people get "emotionally invested" in teams they aren't really a fan of.

Personally, I don't like the Nuggets and I want a Lakers vs Cavs Finals. *shrug*

To answer your question Kori. I dont think its wierd that i hang out in the NBA section of the SPurs board. I dont like Lakers board...bunch of Homers. The only reason i taunt Spurs fans is because they jump on the opposing teams bandwagon. You cant deny it Kori...just look at the game thread. Every Spurs fan (ok ALMOST) is on Denvers jock.

I remember when the Pats lost the Super Bowl. That was one of the best days of my life. So yeah, if the Lakers don't win it this year, it will probably be worth it for them.

Oh I don't doubt they are rooting for Denver (but I don't think most were rooting for Houston). I just don't think they are "emotionally invested." It really doesn't mean much either way when your team is out. For example, I don't like the Celtics at all, but it didn't effect me in the least when they won the Title.

Yea this kind of does boggle my mind, how did annoying lakers fans (meaning the ones who pop boners and think the series is over after 1 win cough hou... cough) all found there way to make spurstalk as their home for NBA banter? I mean isn't there thousands of huge lakers sites you can go circle jerk to? Anyways, I don't really care THAT much, I would prefer the lakers to lose but being depressed??? pfft. Like the win tonight I go "damn, so close, oh well nuggets are almost as gay". Thats it. Also all my best friends are huge lakers fans and I do love to text/call them and talk some shit if they lose as they do it back to me being the only spurs fan in SoCal it seems-well at least out of the large amount of people i know.

So, if the Lakers were to lose. Would you put that on Kobe or lack of hard-nosed teammates. I for one wouldn't be Mickey Hatton or whatever that boxers name is. I know Kobe is not the reason. If we happen to lose it will be the lack of frontcourt toughness and poor bench play.

Truthfully and I'm being serious...it's a Chicken and Egg Conundrum. Kobester went 1 on 5 a bit too much tonight, while his output was high, his efficiency was not. It's been proven time and again, that him playing that way, while the 4-letter and ochotimes3 lovers love it, hasn't led to any kind of championship success. When he does that, the rest of your team looks off-kilter because they stop running an offense and make it easy for the opps defense to take on #24.

Reality is that when Shaq was around to lay down foundation points, Bean could infuse what everyone termed as daggers for the close. Good enough for 3 finals MVPS for Shaq and 3 rings, like in the muppet commercial. That 04 Final, TO ME, it seemed as if the then #8, wanted his own finals MVP, and that mindset proved to be costly as that series was essentially a 5 game sweep.

Although Gasol is an All-Star, he has yet, in 1 and 3/4 playoff seasons, to consistently provide that foundation work that Shaq provided.

So again, 1 on 5, actually plays into Denver's hands and they, stupidly let them off the hook.

This pretty much sums up how I feel.

I didn't really care much that Houston lost. I wanted the to win because they were playing the Lakers and because of my family ties but even my cousin who is one of the biggest Rockets fans I know took it pretty well. They weren't supposed to make it that far anyway.

TBQH, I wasn't really that bothered that the Spurs lost like they did either. I knew going in that even if we found a way past Dallas we probably weren't going much further. I do agree that some fans get far too emotionally invested. It's ok to be disappointed when the expectations are high, but when the reality of it is that the Spurs just don't have the team to win then it is far better to just accept that from the beginning and take whatever good things come.

Laker fan sounds like he is emotionally invested in the Spurs being emotionally invested. :)

You never see Laker fans rooting against the teams that beat them. I actually cheered for the Spurs in all their title runs except 2007 (because Cleveland was a massive underdog and I thought it would be a cool story). I especially cheered for them in 2003, cause once the Lakers were out, I wanted the team that beat them to win it all.

But sadly, Spurs fans would never be able to do this b/c they have a massive inferiority complex when it comes to LA. FACT

Perhaps the Spew fans will wise up especially since they will never have a chance in hell to win another ring and go for a team that has some character. A team that does not tank seasons in order to land a player like Duncan. A team that does not have a front runner like Parker. LOL This ass spoke more shit the last 2 years and he has nothing to show for it. He is not a top 20 pg let alone a top 3....Hopefully they wont cheer for a animal like Mangoo who puts a amatuer tournament ahead of his professional team who has fans that pay to see him play. Hopefully the city will spend money to clean up that city instead of investing anymore money in that franchise. I wish all Spew fans to have a great off season and work on themselves. God bless the Spew fan.

Thanks for telling your fellow Laker fan to STFU. :tu

[DPG21920]

What don't people like DD understand. Many Spurs fans are basketball fans, not just Spurs fans. The game in general interests us. Just because we hate the Rockets, Lakers...does not mean anything.

[BlackBellamy]

I personally couldn't give a sh*t about the West at this point. George Karl does not hold any warm fuzzy memories in the minds of Spurs fans. However, in even bringing up that the majority our fan base is rooting against your team shows a little butt hurt on your part (which in turn shows a further bias against the Spurs and their fans). So, don't act like if the shoe was on the other foot the majority of L.A. fans wouldn't be rooting Denver's way. Then there is the underdog factor to throw in as reason to root against your team, as well. Sounds more like a typical baiting on a Spurs forum by a chest pounding, self-glorifying Lakers fan than any sort of valid point. Bravo. Stay classy L.A.!

[E20]

good story bro

*shrug*

You do this quite often...are these shrugs of disgust/disdain or WGAF?

[Brazil]

the Lakers fans root for the Lakers. The Spurs fans jump ship and root for anyone who plays the Lakers. So whos obsessed?

the lakers fans searching for love on a spurs forum, it's like trying to make 50 baskets in a row with a paper ball.

Personally, (and I'm assuming this speaks as what a lot of Spurs fans are thinking) I find that rooting for any team in the Lakers/Nuggets series is like having a preference of Dog shit vs. Cat shit.

[TheManFromAcme]

If I can interject;

To be honest with you guys, I actually like it here better than LG.net. Way to many Kobe lovers there that even make "me" sick. There have been threads there that are absurd. Unfortunately these threads are from the young-uns that will one day split LG when Kobe is long gone. They are not Laker fans. Laker fan, like myself, love the Lakers of course, but can respect all aspects of this game regardless of the team. My avatar obviously indicates my non-loyalty for the Spurs but it is merely for fun and take a jab at my fellow b-ball fans. At the end of the day, isn't that what we all are anyway? Dr. House is just pulling your strings and means no malice towards nobody. He's got some good takes as does a handful of other Laker fans in here. Anyhow, I like it here (this forum). It's fun and entertaining.

On a side note; This series isn't over. I hate it when fellow Laker fan prematurely claims complete victory when only one battle has been won.
Humility goes a long way.

[DPG21920]

Laker "fans" hate the Spurs as well. Laker *fans root for the Spurs to lose when the Spurs are in the finals and Spurs fans root for the Lakers to lose when they are in the finals. Only difference is that the Spurs fans have been successful.

Laker fans don't really hate Spur fans.

The only fans we HATE are Celtics fans, and that one goes back for decades. We are far too concerned with our own team most of the time to pay much attention to anyone else.

Then why hang around a Spurs hosted board and take part in bashing a team that you and, apparently, L.A.'s whole fan base could care less about?

[DPG21920]

Why would you hate Celtic fans? They do not care about Laker fans.

[TheMACHINE]

I dont hate the Spurs...i rooted for the spurs evertytime they make the Finals.

[BlackBellamy]

History, of course. I'm sure if you polled Celtics fans as to their most hated team in the West the Lakers would overwhelmingly be top pick.

He DID say "influx of trolls since last year" and your join date DOES say 3-25-2008 so GTFO yourself.


the trolls are gone. They come and go..only a handful of us are actually here for the long term ;)

[DPG21920]

That is what you do not get, most are not emotionally involved. Spurs fans hate the Lakers in general, but other than that it is not like you are making it out to be.

Lakers are expected to win, Spurs were expected to lose, it is not gut wrenching.

Just like if you polled Spurs fans, they would hate the Lakers. That is a long rivalry as well.

Most true Laker fans hate the Spurs. All of the ones I know hope for 3 things: Lakers to win, Spurs to lose, Boston to lose. No one I know roots for the Lakers (meaning Spurs fans).

My question was a jab at House because he is trying to act like Lakers own the Spurs so the fans do not care about them, hence "why do Boston fans care about Lakers".

[BlackBellamy]

Hey-hey-hey good buddy, no reason to put on that macho facade here. Even Lakers fans need some cuddles on occasion, you big, tough, devil-may-care guy. Ultimately, aren't we all just looking for love?

[TheMACHINE]

i honestly dont hate the Spurs. I always thought the rivalry was resepctful. When the Spurs eliminated us, i was hoping the spurs would win out. I honestly thought it went the other way too. No one in LG talked smack about the Spurs. I think we had worst hated rivals like the Suns and the Kings. Its not until I signed up to ST last year that I realized there was so much hate......i was a bit surprised. All good tho.

You don't have to like someone to respect them. In fact, I'd say the more open vocal dislike is displayed, that more often than not is an homage to how much one team respects another. (see: cold war) Consider us the 1600's Spain to your 1600's England.

[TheManFromAcme]

Why would you hate Celtic fans? They do not care about Laker fans.

That, dear fellow, is where you are wrong. Dead wrong.:nope
Next time your in New England, I challenge you to roam downtown Bean-town and conjure up dialogue with fellow "Bwastan" fan regarding the Lakers. Oh, do they ever care for Laker fan. Where have you been the last 40+ years? Laker-Boston "IS THE" rivalry of all rivalries and to be honest with you, the one that only matters in this damn league. The Spurs-Laker so called rivalry was cute. That's it.

[mingus]

le me see ... logical reasons a Spurs fan might hate Lakers more than Lakers fans hate Spurs :

1. .4 - which isn't even possible . the rule back and now states that it's impossible to catch and shoot , but i guess LA is immune to that sort of thing ...

2. the no call last year on Barry - a foul 99.9% of the time in any situation , but i guess LA is immune to that sort of thing ...

two series changing plays that should've went the other way ...

each time the Spurs won though , there was was no controversy involved ... SA has beat LA twice fair and square , so no shit LA fans have no hard feeling against the Spurs . but Spurs fans feel that the Spurs have been cheated because it hasn't been that way 2/4 times LA has played SA and won ... and no one on the face of this earth can argue against that .

[BlackBellamy]

He did not mean it. He was baiting House (by using the same dismissive mentality) for not appreciating that Lakers fans generally hate the Spurs. But you are correct for sure. I've lived in Boston, and indeed, they totally hate your team's collective asses. And hey, we're still a franchise and we both play in the west. Any sort of rivalry between our teams is not over yet, regardless of how much more elite you feel your team to be.

[DPG21920]

Where does hating a team and their fans mean you do not respect how good they are? There in lies a huge difference in Laker fans vs Spurs fans in general.

Spurs fans hate Laker fans and the Lakers, but understand how good the Lakers are.
Laker fans hate Spurs fans and the Spurs, but cannot believe another team ever beats the Lakers.

[Brazil]

^^yep unfortunately I think lakers will win this serie and if I was a lakers I'd like lakers chance against the cavs but I'd root for the magic.

[cornbread]

The obsession continues...

[spursncowboys]

If ya think about it...

It's kinda needed:

One postulates that when a force, such as Laker fan and the ilk they are spawned of, which includes media blowhards who fawn for Q and TV ratings, starts to grow exponentially, the ONLY way to counter that is to have other teams fan combine and work to be an immovable object.
In essence...it breaks down to the following:

THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND.
:toast

[FaithInOne]

LOL!

The Spurs have been in the mix every year for the last decade. Congratulations on getting back to a respectable level after 7 years.

lol laker fan.

[BlackBellamy]

O.K., in reading the Spurs fan's responses to a Laker play-off loss, I now somewhat agree that it is a little sad the amount of resounding sadistic pleasure we take in seeing you (lakers/laker fans) suffer (I must admit the game was certainly exhilarating, in particular seeing Lakes lose). However, if one were to root for the Lakers opponent (insert rival team name here) to win and the Lakers to lose, it seems that might have become quite a bit more interesting and as you initially question, "worth it". So definitive Spurs fan short answer... Yes. I don't know exactly why but seeing the Lakers lose makes me smile (though still a far cry vs. seeing the Spurs win, in way and amount of happiness). Right now it's sweet like sugar on the tip my tongue.

[pauls931]

I wonder who LA is going to route for the next round, Denver, Cavs, or the Magic?

[Spurs 4 The Win]

The Fakers are done this series. Rooting for them would be like a Texas A&M as a Texas fan. It just won't happen. Denver is better. Only David can stop the Denver vs. Orlando Finals.

[sexinthatsx]

Dear lakers fans,
How does it feel when your own team's fans give YOU guys a bad name? Now I can see how allanon feels when he calls the machine and dr house being idiotic laker fans

And how many times did Boston trounced you over and over again? Last time I checked, Boston has owned your franchise 9 out of 11 times. That's total owning if you ask me

[Stringer_Bell]

Why not just jump on the "winning" teams bandwagon so you can feel happy atleast once this year. You're team is on the downhill. Timmy is done. Manu is done. Plenty of room in LA's bandwagon.

No team is a "winning" team until they are holding the trophy overheard at the end of the season, so I can't see how anyone is bandwagon jumping before the trophy has even been given out. Say all you want about the Spurs going downhill, but SA has taken in an exceptional view from atop the mountain Kobe just can't seem to climb on his own since Shaq went away.

Kobe is a beast, but the Lakers (with all their talent) have shown they got too far ahead of themselves by playing soft basketball. Maybe they'll fix it, maybe not. The Rockets exposed them, and now I'm rooting that Denver goes for the jugular. I don't have to make an emotional investment to cheer when the Lakers lose, but the negativity you post with suggests the opposite about you (regarding Spurs and fans).

[NRHector]

Is it worth getting emotionally invested with teams that play against the Lakers. It's already EXTREMEMLY depressing that your very own team is fishing...but I can only imagine how it feels to jump on a bandwagon of another team, only to get your hearts broken a second or even third time. I'm sure 99.9% of you fans are all over Denvers nutz. Why not just jump on the "winning" teams bandwagon so you can feel happy atleast once this year. You're team is on the downhill. Timmy is done. Manu is done. Plenty of room in LA's bandwagon.

:lol

Spurs lose first round = spurs fans sad
Rockets lose first round = spurs fans sad
Denver lose first game = spurs fan suicide watch

How much more can you guys take?! Props for the resilience you guys show. :lmaoThat's where you're wrong laker fan, we had alot of happy moments this year specially when Mason hit the 3 against the Lakers for the win, we know our team is going downhill but is going downhill with dignity and not crying and throwing your teammates under the bus and crying for better players in national radio.
We are proud of our team even if they lost in the first round because we knew it was a impossible goal to win without Manu but they fought and did not give up.
At the last game the fans applauded and gave an standing ovation to the Spurs because we know the type of players we have they are all class act and that is something you can't say about your team.
I speak for myself but, I will never jump in the Lakers bandwagon , thanks for the offer and for being so concerned about our happiness.:flag:

2) Routing for Jazz, outcome = loss

From the Finals:

110 total fouls called on the Magic

121 total fouls called on the Lakers

Magic: 96/135 FT's
Lakers: 98/124 FT's

Looking at the numbers from the Finals, it was called pretty even. But it doesn't factor in missed calls, or momentum favoring calls either. Overall, it was officiated pretty evenly.
