Thanks for the support, Laker Nation.

[midnightpulp]

You guys stuck right there with us in the trenches.

I can't speak for all Spurs fans, after all, your team is our biggest rival who's dealt us some of the most painful defeats in Spurs history, so I'm sure some Spurs fans will forever hate you no matter what, but speaking for myself, I can't summon the anger to no longer feud with you after you guys had our backs like that (until the next playoff series between our teams, of course). Sure, you might've been rooting for the Spurs out of self-interest so that Lebron doesn't overshadow Kobe, and the media, in their eternal retardation and ratings pimping, will probably declare Lebron this and that, but just like us Duncan fans stuck with Duncan>Kobe, even when 95% of the basketball world thought otherwise, you fuckin' stick with Kobe>Lebron.

What a strange fuckin' season. Made bury the hatchet with Lakers fans :lol

And yeah, I'm pretty emo right now.

[mercos]

Sure was nice having nearly every NBA fan outside of Heat fans rooting for us.

[Koolaid_Man]

Like I said..if I invalidate the Spurs success over the years I invalidate Kobe...as I personally believe those WCF games and other play-off series against the SPurs were some of the toughest he's ever faced...while I would never choose Duncan over Kobe I respect Duncan and I'm a huge Tony Parker fan...I wish he was our PG right now...and I wish Pop was our coach....

Agreed. Trust Spurs fans when we say that '03 was one of the sweetest Spurs victories ever, because we knew how great the Lakers were, even if the 3 peat Lakers were a little past their prime. After they Spurs dethroned the Lakers, I remember telling myself I don't even care if we win the title or not. That's how big that win was at the time.

[lefty]

Lakersground must have started a LMAO Spurs thread

[venky]

It wasn't hard to support the Spurs at all.

[Thebesteva]

I will say this much...in this series the Spurs made me realize how they are no longer boring. I know thats nothing compared to a Larry trophy but they won every fans respect. They never had that prior to this series.

[venky]

Perhaps, but the majority were rooting for the Spurs in the Finals thread in the NBA section.

yep..we were a bad ass muthafucking team :lol...Lebron is a poser to me and always will be...I'm not impressed by anything he does tbh...That 03 Lakers team with a prime Kobe would have shat all over this Heat team tonight....

[lefty]

Yeah I saw that actually :lol

I was like damn those Kobe cocksuckers hoping Lebron will fail :lol

[LkrFan]

No prob son. Disagree about the Kobe legacy comment though. I just didn't want the cHeat to winPERIOD.

On an aside, that missed chip shot by TD will haunt his ass forever. Why the fuck he didn't just dunk that shit? Fuck, man. Manu needs to go to the glue factory.

PS - Fuck LeBron. Fuck the cHeat.

[LkrFan]

This, tbh.

[Bynumite]

In a moment of weakness, i actually felt bad for jim when he missed that layup during the last minute but spurfan gets no sympathy.

They spent all season wishing injuries and the way they celebrated when Kobe went down, pratically starting a riverwalk parade, that was fucked up.

With that said, fuck spurfan. Karma's a bitch.

That was painful

Duncan was so beasting, I thought he had that one

[LA24]

I started rootin for the spurs once Westbrook went down. I knew they had the best shot at taking down Miami of all the teams left.

If it does, it sucks that he has to carry that burden when all his teammates had to do last game was make a FT or grab a fuckin' rebound.

Also worth noting is Bosh had zero points :lol

Seeing him slam the ground as the title slipped away after what happened in Game 6 ... felt bad for Jim.

You're definitely entitled to that.

[Ice009]

Seeing him slam the ground as the title slipped away after what happened in Game 6 ... felt bad for Jim.

So why in the fuck are you calling him Jim if you felt bad for him?

Kobe choked in a game 7, but Artest bailed him out. Tim had no-one at 37 to help him out. He missed an easy one, but he was not the reason for the loss. Tim and Kawhi showed up. Everyone else could have played better.

Tremendous effort from TD. For someone this age to play this well is very tough way to lose. He left it all out there. Spurs could have and should have went to him more. He is one of the greatest players ever.

I'm actually backing off the Kobe hate for tonight because I really, really will miss those two in their prime going against each other. I'd love if it they were both on the same team and won one more ring, especially over the Heat.

For the record, I told people to stop talking shit about the Kobe injury. I didn't like that, wasn't fair to dump on him.


Edit : Thanks to those of you that went for us to beat the Heat. We had it in game 6 and gave it away. Tough loss, but no way will I let it get me down.

[King Nupe]

Yeah, this loss was bad. I felt like I was a spur fan. Especially after Khawi and Manu both missed those free throws.....HOW DO YOU MISS A FREE THROW THAT WOULD HAVE MADE YOU THE CHAMPS??? HOW!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?

[Bynumite]

You're definitely entitled to that.

I talk shit about jim but i would never wish or celebrate a player's injury.

Duncan and Kobe are legends, all time greats, they deserve to end their careers on their own terms, not with some bullshit injury.

Just chalk up it to penis envy. Lakers denied the Spurs a chance at a ring on 4 separate occasions, and it was usually Kobe doing the damage.

And yes, Spur fan can be a petulant, petty bunch. We have that envious Boston Red Sox vis a vis Yankees mentality toward you guys.

[Clipper Nation]

Fuck LeBron. Fuck the cHeat.

Will never respect Spurfan or Heatfan. Like Bynumite already mentioned, some of you guys were happy when Kobe tore his achilles. Too bad one of these teams had to win because LeStans were happy with the injury too, but my hating time will come, they aint going to win every year. But I did root for the Spurs because I can't stand the Heat. You Spurfuns will have nightmares of that game 6 though.

I agree but I do respect Duncan and Parker

[Ashy Larry]

Much respect to the spurs. I think you know there will be some laker fans who will kick you while you're down. I won't be one of them. I was really hoping for a good series and I got it. The spurs were seconds from the title and numerous threads of TOSB 5 et al.


Trust me. This is going to sting for a long ass time. Much respect.

[whitemamba]

cheer up bro, next season is only a few months away, all we have to do is not watch espn until july 1st. but ill be honest, i felt fuckin awful for tim after he missed those 2 shots, if 1 of those fuckers dropped, its a different ball game, and the spurs would have the momentum. Mad respect to dem spurs for making it that far and giving us a great series. my nigga mid if i knew you id take you out for a brew (no homo) that shit busted my balls i cant imagine what happened to spur fan.

Thanks. Appreciate the sentiment.

Spurfan is pretty crushed right now. Probably similar to how guys felt after Game 4 in the '08 Finals. I know the Lakers weren't seconds away from a championship, but seeing the hated Celtics charge back from 24 down on your home floor must've been demoralizing. Luckily for your psyches, the Lakers redeemed themselves in '09 and then further redeemed themselves in '10.

Sadly, I see no such redemption for us. But if this is indeed the end of the Duncan era, they went out like the Wild Bunch with a heroic last stand (Game 6 is that little kid shooting William Holden in the back).

2008 makes me cringe, especially the wheel chair incident. fuck the celtics.

Duncans got 1 more good year in him for sure, i dont doubt spurs will be back for another solid season.

[Rogue]

Laker fans can't be so greedy tbh. Had the celts failed to win in 08 then KG and Pierce would possibly retire without rings, or they would've gone Payton modes to coattail ride Miami and to make the league even more lopsided.

Spurs and spur fans have every right to be proud of themselves despite the loss

[ezau]

Yeah, this loss was bad. I felt like I was a spur fan. Especially after Khawi and Manu both missed those free throws.....HOW DO YOU MISS A FREE THROW THAT WOULD HAVE MADE YOU THE CHAMPS??? HOW!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?

Those free throws will haunt all Spurs fans for decades, and the Game 6 collapse will be part of NBA-lore forever. Sad to be at the receiving end of such a catastrophic loss, but it is what it is. Real talk: I would've cheered for the Lakers if they faced the Heat in the Finals this year. Heck, I was cheering for Kobe against the Thunder in 2012. Kobe and Duncan are the old guards in the NBA, and as years pass by, our childhood idols are slowly being replaced. This is a very different NBA now.

Don't lump all spurs fans being happy about Kobe's injury! I thought it was too bad it happened to him instead of Lebroom! I hate that arrogant bitch Lebroom! As for Kobe, it was a matter of time that he would have a catastrophic injury as he was playing with barely any rest and that is a recipe for getting a bad injury!

[Sportcamper]

No hate for the Lebron’s…Just wanted Class Duncan & Fearless Ginobili to get one more ring…

Some one must bear the responsiblity for this loss. Though Media isn't demanding such an act. It's like Miami won and San Antonio didn't. No one is cast down this time. Media wanted to cast Bosh down and some are still doing that this morning even though he won.

Pop was given a pass and that is reprehensible. But, fully expected. There was no adequate fall guy once Miami persevered.
