Never have I seen such whiney pussies.

I just read the game 5 blog and could not believe the flopping of Spurs fans.

(1st Q and part of 2nd) the Spurs have balls, everyone is great, they are showing heart, Manu is the king of the world....so on and so forth.

Then the Spurs are the worst playoff team in the history of the NBA, they all need to be traded next year, the coach needs to be shot, or he needs to retire along with TD, RJ, Manu and Dice.

I even read that Tim Duncan is now a second string PF and the poster would start Eric Dampier over TD, after TD missed that little shot right under the basket in 4th Q. :lol

Then Spurs score 7 points in last 14 seconds, with Neal's 3 pointer sending game in OT. and all of the sudden, the Spurs are all great again, life is good, Pop and TD are wonderful again. :p:


In OT, all the posters are back on TP's nuts again, like he is the greatest pointguard in the NBA again.


If anyone has not read that blog, I highly suggest you do, it is the funniest shit ever.

Tim Duncan was getting nowhere in the post against Marc Gasol. Gasol has his number and its the number one reason why Memphis is a nightmare matchup for us.

He dropped 11 in the first. When they looked at him later in the game, he never got a repost after being pushed out several feet multiple times by Gasol. If you look at Randolphs post ups, often he gets reposts because McDyess pushes him out.

Now, it's hard for Timmy to work from so far out because the Memphis perimeter players close so fast. Because they close so fast, and he's so far out, Gasol can crowd him when fouls are not of importance. He has to get the ball deeper. Granted, he isn't the same Tim from years past, but he's still effective. How often do you see Gasol posting up 17 feet out? Exactly.

There are many reasons why this is a tough matchup, I wouldn't solely put it here because Tim can be effective in the post.

[Jimcs50]

I beg to differ.

We fans might be disappointed in every loss or after a season ends in a loss, but I promise you, it hurts a lot more to the Spur players, a hell of a lot more. This is their life, not a hobby or a pastime, they are all trying to win, believe me.

Had Neal not made that shot, he would have felt a lot worse than any of us and probably thought about it for months.

Sure he can but when he posts from the right block he always goes back to the right hand now when he spis to the middle and back into the defender.

its a tough shot to get off especially when you are dealing with someone with Gasol's length.

He was shooting jumpers in the first quarter. They tried to post him later and it was not working.

Randolph got most of his points off jumpers and putbacks. McDyess was giving him nothing in the paint repost or not.

He had no shot at getting at that move you speak of because of positioning.

Go back if you can, and see how many reposts Randolph received. I cannot access the game footage, but I remember on several occasions he got reposts to get deeper position.

You act as if Tim has one move. Tim has many moves even if he's 35.

And even if Randolph got a lot of his points from boards and jumpers, check the amount of assists he had. I think he had around 6-7 assists which is probably the highest on the team if you recall the amount of scoring Mike Conley was doing. Getting post position is as much about ball distribution as it is scoring. They naturally go together.

There's no way Tim is going to be a ball distribution threat when he's getting post ups that far out. He needs a guard to repost him so he can get better positioning.

What happens is, they post him, then cut through right away. They need to adjust to repost because of where he gets the ball. You will not see Gasol trying to post, or drive from that far out. Randolph has shot jumpers on several occasions from that deep, but that's not really Timmys game at this point. He prefers a proper angle. He must get better positioning.

Not questioning the fandom, asshole, just laughed my ass off reading the Dr Jekyll and My Hyde personalities of our posters in the blog...fucking hilarious.

It has nothing to do with Jekyll and Hyde personality, and everything to do with immediate reaction to what happens. People use this thread to vent and make instant observations about the game, often taking things a bit to the extreme. If Hill misses a few rotations on D and takes a boneheaded shot or has a bad pass, people won't say "come on Hill" they will say "OMFG Hill gtfo" or "I hope Hill never plays for the Spurs ever again" or "please trade Hill asap". Five minutes later he will have a nice lay-up in clutch time and people will go "OMFG Hill best ever" and "this guy should be making the All-NBA 1st team".

This is exactly why I love the game threads. For more thought out reactions there are other threads, usually on the following day. Don't mistake one for the other, it would be like saying Bonner is a center or Hill is a PG.

Dude, there are 300 some odd players being paid who have never sniffed a title, just because you are being paid does not mean that you can perform to the best of your ability every single time. I think we Spurs fans really have nothing to complain about.

1. Spurs have 3rd most wins all time

2. Spurs have 3rd highest winning percentage all time

3. Spurs have 3rd most division titles all time (17)

4. Their coach has 2nd highest winning percentage all time

5. 4th most titles won since they came into league

6. Have the NBA record for most consecutive 50 win seasons (12, If not for strike shortened season, would be 14)


So, please forgive me if I do not totally get suicidal if the Spurs do not win every playoff series.:p:



There are 26 teams in the league that would gladly trade franchises with SA, the past 34 years....right?

[LnGrrrR]

I saw a ton of Spurfans conceding the series when you guys were down four with a few minutes left. Ridiculous.

[DMC]

There are different types of fans (I made a thread about this a few months ago). Some fans stand behind the current team regardless of the outcome. Some stand behind the franchise and feel that players and coaches are interchangeable parts, and they want these parts replaced if the franchise race car isn't performing as well as it should. There are others, but these two seem to be the ones who are being discussed here. Both are fans, they just have different ways of getting to the same place. Many don't care that the Spurs might have totally different players, as long as they win. Others want the current core players to have very successful careers with this team, like a family environment. The acquisitions and bench help them get there, but those guys are still interchangeable.

So, I don't think any of the people being mentioned qualify as not "real" fans. They just have a different outlook.

This is exactly how I feel.

I set a goal early on, and last year it was to get past the 1st round. We did, I was happy.

This year it was to have a good season, for Tim to not go out of the league on a losing team. We had a great season, and we are still in the playoffs so everything now is a bonus to me.

Low expectations? Not really. I could have been a fan of a team like LA or Boston after I got old enough to see that they have a ton of titles, but you like who you like. I like the Spurs.

I agree. Time goes by, all out fav players eventually move on to retire or get traded or cut, but we remain steadfast in our love for the Silver and Black.

I thought I would never get over losing DRob to retirement, but I di and now I have to realize that Tim will soon leave us as well. Hopefully, we will get another franchise player that leads us back to the pinnacle of the NBA mountain, but until this team is dead and buried, I am holding out hope that we have one last title to celebrate.

I might sound holier than thou when I say that I will never call my favorite Spurs player an expletive, but that is just me. I know that when my teams fucks up and loses, they are not doing so on purpose, thay are trying to win, but sometimes, they just fall short.

You're kidding right? Go back and find something I've posted saying I hate the spurs, or anything negative for that matter. I was at that game last night and there was no doubt in my mind they would win.

I read this forum more than I post, because its where I get my spurs info. I try to skip over all the negative posts, which is becoming the majority here. Win or lose I'm still a Spurs fan, and if they do lose then they get to go back to their big houses, drink their wine, and take their vacation overseas.

Is it weird that Sean Elliott gets called out by everyone as a homer during the last NBA TV game, but Brevin Knight refers to the Grizzlies as "we" when he played about 100 games for them in the middle of his career? Must be confusing to listen to the broadcast when the Grizzlies play the Jazz.

I never invoked the "no true Scotsman" fallacy, because I never said that fans who quit halfway through a winnable game aren't "true" fans. I said I think they're sucky fans. There's a difference.

And I would argue that different levels of involvement would make someone more or less of a "fan", if you want to put "levels" to fandom. (If you consider it as a yes or no, black or white, "Are you a fan or not?", then obviously it makes no difference.

More/less of a fan... that's all subjective. If you support the team and root for them to win, you are a fan. You don't have to have a TD Fathead on your wall and name your first born "Emmanuel Duncan Smith" if your last name is Smith, in order to be a Spurs fan.

I stand by what I said. The only reason spurs are losing in this series is because they are playing too soft. If they would nut up and play how they are capable of playing then in my opinion memphis couldn't compete with them. I don't see that as whining. It's me saying what i believe is the truth but yup whatever i'm a fan and will always be one.

I don't mind calling out your own team when they don't play up to their potential. Now, if your team sucks and they're trying their best, but they just get blown out all the time, then there's no point in booing. But if you're a favorite, and guys aren't putting forth the effort? Then boo away.

"lol man the spurs are such pussies. Thats why memphis is winning this series.. They have balls and the spurs are pussies."

I stand by what I said. The only reason spurs are losing in this series is because they are playing too soft. If they would nut up and play how they are capable of playing then in my opinion memphis couldn't compete with them. I don't see that as whining. It's me saying what i believe is the truth but yup whatever i'm a fan and will always be one.

I think the soft Spurs are no longer in existence.

This game has awakened a sleeping giant.

:lol


I just read the game 5 blog and could not believe the flopping of Spurs fans.

(1st Q and part of 2nd) the Spurs have balls, everyone is great, they are showing heart, Manu is the king of the world....so on and so forth.

Then the Spurs are the worst playoff team in the history of the NBA, they all need to be traded next year, the coach needs to be shot, or he needs to retire along with TD, RJ, Manu and Dice.

I even read that Tim Duncan is now a second string PF and the poster would start Eric Dampier over TD, after TD missed that little shot right under the basket in 4th Q. :lol

Then Spurs score 7 points in last 14 seconds, with Neal's 3 pointer sending game in OT. and all of the sudden, the Spurs are all great again, life is good, Pop and TD are wonderful again. :p:


In OT, all the posters are back on TP's nuts again, like he is the greatest pointguard in the NBA again.


If anyone has not read that blog, I highly suggest you do, it is the funniest shit ever.

:lmao

So, its no different than Spurstalk after a bad loss. Thanks for sharing.

I don't mind calling out your own team when they don't play up to their potential. Now, if your team sucks and they're trying their best, but they just get blown out all the time, then there's no point in booing. But if you're a favorite, and guys aren't putting forth the effort? Then boo away.
