Greetings fellow Spur fans. I have been a lurker for quite a while and appreciate the site for info, entertainment and pictures. It has been tough to watch the team at times this year but I am still confident in what this team can do. I also thought it would be a good time to bring some perspective back to what we have. Again this is not by any means a throw in the towel kiss the good years goodbye thread--- simply a thread of thanks.
Thank you:
1) To the NBA and players resolving their issues in 1999 and allowing the Spurs to start their championship run.
2) To Duncan re-signing in San Antonio when he had an opportunity to team with Grant Hill and Tracey Mcgrady in Orlando.
3) To David Robinson understanding that a secondary role to Duncan would serve the team the best.
4) To David Robinson for laying the foundation for class in an organization
5) For the 2003 NBA Championship and making Kobe cry
6) To Steve Kerr for sticking it to the Mavericks and ripping their hearts out in the 2005 title run.
7) To Bruce Bowen for making the other team's best player whine.
8) May not be popular today but damn we really wanted Finley when he became available. Thanks Fin for choosing the Spurs.
9) Brent Barry for the same reasons as Finley.
10) Robert Horry for missing the shot against us and making the one for us.
11) Thanks to the organization for instilling hope and pride into our community.
Many more to be given. This team will be a contender this year and they deserve the benefit of the doubt until their season is over.
