Spurs fans which do you prefer?

[siraulo23]

1) Hear "Anythingggggg is posibleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" once again. KG and best actor peirce getting their 2nd ring.

or

Kobe getting his 5th, erasing duncan's chance to be the first between him shaq and kobe to get #5

[mystargtr34]

Definately supporting the Celtics... sorry Banzai.

[Dex]

Can not and will not cheer for the Lakers.

[phyzik]

Honestly, Im not even going to watch. Sure, I'll keep tabs on the scores, but I wouldnt shed 1 tear if somehow all players on both teams ended up getting season ending injuries.

[4>0rings]

Can not and will not cheer for the Lakers.
This.

Boggles my mind how any Spurfan can root for that franchise and side with their fans.

[Giuseppe]

agree, its hard to root for a team that crapped on your team over and over again.

[Kamnik]

I think along those lines too...

When they played in the finals 2 years ago I don't think I bothered to watch a whole quarter out of the series.

HOWEVER, as it was painful for me to watch 2 teams I dislike then, this year I prefer to see any of these 2 teams win a ring than seeing LeBron and his merry bunch of douchebags win anything.

And a long succesful playoff run by Dragic helped me go through the pains of seeing Spurs fail.

[Brazil]

Go Celts !

[TIMMYD!]

Can not and will not cheer for the Lakers.

This because if the Celtics win, I get to see all the Lakers posters on here cry like bitches.

+1


although i wanted LA to beat phoenix, cause i dont want suns (mavs) fans to feel they are in the same basketball class as the spurs.

yah probably similar to the crying from Spurs fans the past few years right?

[4>0rings]

yah probably similar to the crying from Spurs fans the past few years right?Spurfan doesn't cry.

The only bitches that cry are Kobe, Fish, Pop, and now Nash.

[21_Blessings]

Spurfan doesn't cry.

.

:lmao still crying upstairs about the Gasol trade almost 3 years later

[Giuseppe]

:lmao still crying upstairs about the Gasol trade almost 3 years later

They're like a spigot with it though. When Gasol brings it hammer & tong they're in the on position. When Gasol loiters the side door, they're dry as a Nun's snootch.

[TheMACHINE]

i set em up, blessings and old cul finish them off. ;)

[BronxCowboy]

Go Celts !

[TheManFromAcme]

I can whole heartedly understand why Spur fan wouldn't want to root for L.A., really I can. But if you love this game, why wouldn't you want to see the marquee match-up that it is?

Prior to '08, these 2 hadn't met in almost 22 years and it's only the 2nd time in 3 years. Love your hometown team all you want but the game purist in ya should still appreciate the lore and history that this series represents.

There are team fans and then there are game fans.
Which one are ya?

[Kori Ellis]

I prefer the Lakers win. Kobe's game is easy to appreciate (most of the time), and I'm not a fan of anyone on the Celtics.

[Muser]

I want the Lakers to win.

[TampaDude]

FTL!!! Go Celtics!!! Wax that Laker ass!!!

Meh. I love the Lakers so of course glad I'm there. And because I'm a Laker fan I can appreciate the rivalry with the C's.

But I can understand why the appeal of "appreciate history" would leave fans of other teams cold. As a baseball fan, I have a minimal appreciation for the history of the Yankees and frankly couldn't care less about how their appearing in another World Series is somehow historically significant.

I think most fans kind of like to see the glory spread around a bit rather than a few clubs hogging all the titles... unless it's your team dominating the rings of course.

Excellent point.

[blkroadrunners]

I don't care really. I dispise both teams.

[TE]

I am rooting for the crown to stay in the West, regardless if it's the Fakers.

son I agree with this 100%. nothing in this world would make me happier then to see Kobe Bryant have a career ending injury ... plus its WNBA time. you have Becky and the Silver Stars to watch now. no need to waste your time watching that scripted/controlled crap called the NBA.

Point taken.

I guess it all depends how much you love that certain sport. I love my Lakers and Dodgers hard core but I'll still watch the Yankees and Red Sox solely because the purist in me loves the game. The game.

I am confident that the ratings will shine light that for the most part, America is going to keep a close eye on this one. I really think that ultimately, most will watch the series because the "lore" will somehow, someway capture the purist in all of us.

The biases in here are understandable.

$$$ says you'll more than keep tabs beyond just checking scores. You'll get hooked. It's only human.

BTW, season ending injuries are not cool for ANYONE.

[phxspurfan]

Go Celtics! Go Bandwagon FinDog! Go Racist Fanbase!

[DesignatedT]

Celtics. Don't want Kobe to get 5.

[baseline bum]

Probably LA slightly, since I like Kobe better than KG. Still, an upset is always cool to see too.

I havnt watched a full playoff game since the Spurs got bounced. Not even Suns vs Lakers. I've caught a quarter here and there but thats about it.

I actualyl think you're probably right.

when I talk about "fans" I mean the type who inhabit this place... we're a more invested bunch. I don't think we represent the "typical" fan.

The more average fan probably does think this is a compelling matchup. Ratings will reflect that.

[mogrovejo]

One thing I never quite understood is how can you be a hardcore fan of a team, your home town team or whatever, to the point of following them closely, going to games, discuss trades on a message board and all that but then not watch the NBA playoffs or the finals if your teams isn't there. I can understand being a casual fan of the team, get really involved only in the big moments but not caring about the rest of the league at all; but being a hardcore fan of the team while not being a NBA fan at all seems odd to me.

Really disliking the teams in the finals for some reason hence taking the principled position of not watching that exact clash I kind of get (even though I think it's a little over the top), but not caring at all is just weird.

[Höfner]

Let the riots commence!

[Baseline]

Cannot, will not root for a sexual predator. Never ever.

Talk to me when Bryant retires. Or gets hit by a bus.

[dbestpro]

I prefer both teams get diarrhea for the entire series to the point they have to put an out house on the court or the finals has to be completed by replacement players from the early 80s.

Like I said, I'll keep tabs but Im not emotionally invested enough into the series to spend my time watching 2 teams I hate as a fan.

[45 bank shot]

even though I don't really care about either team I'd rather root for the lakers. At least, I respect Kobe and all because he has the right to be cocky. Unlike that bitch-ass KG, fucking hate him

[EVAY]

Can not and will not cheer for the Lakers.

This. ABLA (anybody but the lakers)

[spurs10]

agree, its hard to root for a team that crapped on your team over and over again.
Yeah, a team that's won 3 championships the last 7 years as opposed to
1. Have to admit watching the Celtics kick the hell out of your team in 2008 was very entertaining.

[IronMexican]

Go Celtics! Go Bandwagon FinDog! Go Racist Fanbase!

:lmao You were rocking the Finley sig where the C's were down by almost 40 too Memphis.

[Ashy Larry]

in the eyes of Spurs fans,

KG 2 > Kobe 5

we know which way they are leaning .......

[TheMACHINE]

I like watching the lakers kick the hell out of your team. But its ok for you to live through other teams.

[ezau]

Fuck the Lakers. I want Kobe go 0-2 against the Celts so people would stop comparing him to MJ.

[Danny.Zhu]

I prefer Celtics to win it all. Like you said, I want Tim Duncan to get more rings than Shaq, and especially Kobe.

[ezau]

I would really laugh my ass off if Pierce goes 2-0 against Kobe.
