Spurs Fans Suck

[ohmwrecker]

You don't deserve to be fans of this team. This team that exceeded any and all expectations and were an angel's ass hair away from another LOB. You shit on the players who have given you their blood, sweat and tears and repay them by wanting to replace them with Marcin Gortat and Kyle Korver or whatever shit FA is on the market. You all suck and I am ashamed to be associated with you. I love the Spurs, but I hate you all. I hope you all die from eating bad chicken at Taco Cabana. A slow, miserable death sweating on the toilet with bile shooting out of your assholes much like the wet shit that spews from your keyboard. You all deserve to be kicked in your shriveled testicles by Gregory Popovich untill you start hemorrhaging blood out of you ears and nostrils, you fat, flauta eating fucks. I want to set fire to your Ginobili jerseys while you're wearing them. Seriously, you suck.

[HemisfairArena]

Yes we want to replace a guy with 8 turnovers in game 6 and cost us a championship. Our bad.

Manu sucks.

[spurraider21]

what about the guy that single handedly won game 5

[tesseractive]

:clap

[TheGreatYacht]

Great job, Spurs. That's almost a million bucks per turnover in Game 6. And that's at least 6M more than I thought it would be. I was hoping for 4M a year, a 2/8M deal. The guy plays 20 minutes a game, and misses at least a third of the season. If we had won the title this year, I could see this making sense - as a reward. But this? Tim makes what, 10M a year? And Manu makes 7M? On what planet does that make sense?
Nobody else in the NBA would be stupid enough to pay Manu 7 million a year. The Manu fanboi in this forum are like crack addicts with their absurd Manu love.
Love Manu but no way is he worth 7 mill with his injury history. But this signing is not about wining it is about selling tickets bottom line $$$

I love Manu and kinda like Tiago but those contracts they agreed upon are, I have to say, a bit much considering they didn't play well during the Finals
This. Manu is 36 years old and a much bigger liability than an asset at this point. I shudder to think how fucking terrible he is going to be at age 38.
I'm thinking no team offered $7M and that Ginobili threatened to retire if the Spurs didn't offer him at least that much.

Manu speaks Spanish, and that's worth 7 mil a year to the Spurs.

There's no basketball reason to pay a scrub that much money. And that's what Manu is at this point, a scrub.
What a bad off season. It had to happen sometime. Our front office clearly doesnt know when to let go. All we can do as Spurs fans is wait til after 2014-2015 when all the money comes off the books.

Manu gift for being a good guy was the 14 mill it was not based on his production. We paid him that for him working with us all the time so we should have paid him what he is worth on this new contract which probablly be around 5 mill....no way in hell 7 millLMAO at Manu worshippers finding ways to justify that selfish greedy SOB of Manu.
This speaks volumes about the attitude going forward. The team has elected to play the nastalgia card and will be somewhat competitive, but signing Manu to so much money is a sign of the end. It is a reward as the Spurs start a two year farewell tour.

I think most of us had hoped that they would find a way to transition to the next competitve team, but it is obvious that within three years we will be a lottery team. The biggest question mark for this year will be, can the Spurs continue to win 50 games? I think they will win about 45 and be a 7th seed. The following year we will be fighting for to break even.

We have no way to improve, while the big three weather away.

Great post. And 5- 10 years down the line when the seats in the arena start to get emptier and emptier...you will start to hear rumblings about the Spurs relocating like they almost did before Robinson arrived. Thanks to not rebuilding but hanging onto the past.I will feel sorry for all the Popsuckers and Manu fan boys.

It has already begun.

Manu's greed or the front office mentality has stuffed the Spurs into the limbo box of 5-8 seed for the next two years followed by several years of the lottery.

A big, fat Thank you contract for Manu = A big FUCK YOU to the fansSwallow that Spurs homers. Wake up. Stop living in the past. Come to reality.

[TheGoldStandard]

I can see both sides.. There are those who would think that the writing is on the wall, the older we get the more the production goes down but you have also take into consideration that this is all the Front Office knows and this is how they've done business for a long time.. Get little pieces around the core guys and they've pretty much continued to do that no matter what. Now, we can either hope the Spurs have another amazing run and TP play at an MVP level and Duncan to defy time and that Manu's numbers can either go up or Kawhi emerges more.. These things are possible.

The other thought is, we'll never have a blackout so lets not have a flashlight or candles.. It's never going to rain so I won't buy an umbrella, She'll never get pregnant so I won't wear this condom. There are a number of things that can happen and the probability of them happening to this team at there advanced age with the core of guys that do most of the scoring leads us to believe that something can go wrong we need to have a contingency plan.

Let's hope that these Spurs can do it one more time and be successful, let's hope everything plays out like it should for great guys who played hard for one another and we can see them hoist another trophy.

As much as I hate to side with the GNSF's, they got a point. The fact is that Ginobili's $7 million contract eats up significant cap space. Spurs finally had a chance to add another key piece, but instead they'll be looking at adding another role player.

We all watched the same playoffs. Spurs had been struggling to score during crunch time when the game is close. When Parker is shut down, the offense dies. Trotting out the same Parker/Ginobili/Green/Leonard/Duncan lineup that's another year older guarantees the same failure. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.

I can't believe Spurs fans and the management are still burying their heads in the sand and still think this core can win a championship. Especially those that actually think Ginobili's contract is a good idea. He had a miserable year, every year showed significant decline, injury prone, will be 36 years old, and made terrible decisions in the finals. These are facts. Even the most die hard Ginobili fan knows he played a terrible finals series and cost the Spurs game 6, their best chance of stealing the championship.

The Spurs had an opportunity to tell Ginobili that they would like to keep him but will move on to a different direction. Ginobili could either take less money or move on. But the Spurs didn't and it perplexes me. It wouldn't have even been too much of a risk. Ginobili degraded so much that he was only scoring 11 points and letting him facilitate the offense was like playing russian roulette. Replacing him with a $8-10 million free agent would have been a step forward. How do Spurs fans who want to see the team improve suck?

[Big Empty]

I understand what ur saying. The people you are talking about are the same cliff jumpers that want to commit suicide when the Spurs lose a game. Lol but then with guilt and relief make "i was wrong about Manu" threads when ever he has a decent game and we win

You can either be really mad at the situation and it won't do anything because none of us work in the front office and have clout to tell RC and Pop what they're doing is questionable or you can just embrace it as this is the way the Spurs do business. They rarely gamble on FA's, they get cogs that they can groom who they think have a high BB IQ. The one time they ventured out and got a FA it was a failed bit because they looked at the potential and not whether he would fit the system for what the Spurs wanted him to do. This is how the Spurs operate, they bring back the same core guys, they look for guys who will have 1 or 2 jobs and they try to teach them the system as they come off the bench in a limited role, then they try to expand that the next season etc. Pop is old and he doesn't want to waste his time teaching "the system" to a guy and have this guy be inserted into an important role as a starter or a bench guy who we need to score. The Spurs will ride this until the wheels fall off and our core team breaks down, there isn't a parachute, it's all or nothing.

[superbigtime]

I love Manu like any real Spurs fan does. Which is why I wanted him to retire. It's painful to watch your hero embarass himself and his team on the national stage. He cost us the LOB period. There were some flashes of former brilliance, but long stretches of ineptitude. I cringed when he handled the ball because I knew there was a high likelihood of tragedy. It was basically a display of an aged athlete who has lost his abilities, plain for all to see, and difficult for many to accept. I accept it. Manu is washed up. Watching him in the playoffs reminded me of when I tried to learn to roller skate when I was 5 years old; the harder I tried, the more I fell on my ass. His salary takes away the ability to substantially improve. Now the Spurs are going to have to find a value role player. Good luck with that.

If we had #5 the same people badmouthing Pop/Manu would be sucking their dicks relentlessly, even after the horrible game 6 Manu had. Like literally it was that close and the line is that thin betwen fellatio and "i want em off the team!" These same "fans" probably didn't even expect us to make it out of the second round, tbh. If you look at the join dates most bandwagoned after the GS series.

It would be different if last year's run wasn't completely unexpected and Manu/Pop hadn't already delivered multiple titles, but they have. So it's kinda time to let it go and quit being a sore loser.

After the way this team looked in 2011 I'm still incredibly impressed and amazed that we made it back.

There is fine line between being a fan and a fool. There is nothing wrong in demanding excellence for the money you spend, and for the team that you invest your time with.

I watched probably ~70 RS games this year and i'm incredibly glad i invested time into it. Literally all my expectations were met and the Finals appearance, while heartbreaking and something I'll have nightmares about for the rest of my life, was gravy considering how i felt about the team coming into the season.

[Sean Cagney]

I am upset at Bonner and Neal being back most of all, just wanted them to manage some contracts better but it did not happen and they are with the same team now. It is not bad to be upset at those set of events right there as a fan. It is what it is though, some things didn't go too smoothly and some are back and contracts might be a little inflated (Manu for 7 million and Bonner gets 4 lol).

I just wish it did not end the way it did last year, it was gravy and I never expected them to even be in the finals, but to lose like they did just puts a damper on it all spite us having less expectations last year. It is like they go there! Great! They might compete! They compete and basically almost pull that one off! Should have pulled that one off spite all odds, then it just goes away in a flash. Tease beyond belief, that sucks.

[tim_duncan_fan]

It's a legacy contract. It's a huge waste of money in terms of trying to contend, but it's not about that. It's about keeping Manu from wearing a different NBA jersey. Should he have retired? Yes, but I see where the organization is coming from.

However, the thought behind the contract doesn't mean the contract makes any sense. He should have played for 3 million per year to help the team out. Hell, he's not even going to play 50 games.

Again, I see what the franchise was trying to do and understand that the organization is just showing love to one of its legends, but he has really fucking hamstrung us. He's killed us.

This next year will be a waste with everyone just going through the motions and praying for all the big name super-stars to get injured again.

Manu should have recognized his time and retired like a boss, but he's going to hang on pathetically instead.


We should have just made him a coach.

Everyone was amazed at last year even, the bounceback from a round one exit to a 20 game win streak and WCF! I thought that was as good as it gets, their ceiling at that age! THEN they get into the finals again! I was like this is not supposed to happen after 07 lol! They shocked us all, then almost had it. What a weird year to say the least, dissapointing ending but who expected them to win it? NOT ME and not you! None of us. They got there though, still wonder how they did it.

Sad but most of that is true, legacy contract and they felt obligated, but this handicaps us on winning another title so I felt some kind of way about them just throwing contracts around at this point. Now we are left with nothing, thats what upsets me. Even Argies thought it was a high contract, sucks.

Like literally it was that close and the line is that thin betwen fellatio and "i want em off the team!" These same "fans" probably didn't even expect us to make it out of the second round, tbh. If you look at the join dates most bandwagoned after the GS series.

It would be different if last year's run wasn't completely unexpected and Manu/Pop hadn't already delivered multiple titles, but they have. So it's kinda time to let it go and quit being a sore loser.

After the way this team looked in 2011 I'm still incredibly impressed and amazed that we made it back.

Purty much

[rascal]

Over the last 10 years what exactly has the front office done to improve the team involving trades and free agency? Look at the spurs roster, full of their draft picks and no players acquired via free agency or trades. Front offices that can reload quickly with smart trades and free agency will pass by the slow poke spurs who only add players with their draft picks.

When you only use the draft to improve the team the future looks bleak after Duncan with the current front office.

Yes, because teams that know how to improve using the draft have no hope whatsoever when they start getting high draft picks. :lmao

Shut the hell up. I wanted Manu off the team after the 2007 title. That was the year the spurs should have traded him.

[Bill_Brasky]

Everyone was amazed at last year even, the bounceback from a round one exit to a 20 game win streak and WCF! I thought that was as good as it gets, their ceiling at that age! THEN they get into the finals again! I was like this is not supposed to happen after 07 lol! They shocked us all, then almost had it. What a weird year to say the least, dissapointing ending but who expected them to win it? NOT ME and not you! None of us. They got there though, still wonder how they did it.

Sad but most of that is true, legacy contract and they felt obligated, but this handicaps us on winning another title so I felt some kind of way about them just throwing contracts around at this point. Now we are left with nothing, thats what upsets me. Even Argies thought it was a high contract, sucks.
If I'd have declared we would make the Finals in '13 after the OKC debacle in '12 i'd have been laughed off this forum.

is that because of FAs not wanting to come to SA or the organization is too tied to our big 3?

There are 3 ways to improve the roster. The spurs only use one of those ways. A good front office uses all 3 ways.

[rascal]

The organization is married to the so called big 3 and tied up to doing nothing. The spurs take the conservative approach and watch good players move every year from team to team. Bottom line the spurs have still not won a title since 2007 with this same core. Manu should have been moved years ago. No way should they have signed Splitter. They should have went hard after Aldridge and get Duncan some real frontline help.

The spurs re-sign and hoard their draft picks, even throwing bad contracts to keep their players if that is what it takes. This takes them out of the free agent running year after year. It is the conservative approach.

[Sean Cagney]

If I'd have declared we would make the Finals in '13 after the OKC debacle in '12 i'd have been laughed off this forum.

I thought there was no shot at all after last year, NONE! That was as good as it got IMO and the stars nearly aligned for us to get to the finals. Shortened year and health! CHECK! Easy first two rounds after sweeps! CHECK! THen...... Damn. That was it IMO, our last run.

IS this offseason though dissapointing so far? YES. I thought with some help at the backup PG position or 3 they would improve. We desperately needed a guy to run the PG when Tony sat down which was a problem, so far nothing showing there and they are about out of money now. Lets see if they can add some SPURS type minor pieces now, forget BIG names because that is out or SPurs are interested in headlines, lets see what they have in mind to make the team a little better going into next year first.

[tesseractive]

There are 3 ways to improve the roster. The spurs only use one of those ways. A good front office uses all 3 ways.
You forgot a couple:

1. Diamonds in the rough: finding Stephen Jacksons, Bruce Bowens, Danny Greens, and Gary Neals among the league's castoffs and wannabes. Spurs' record here speaks for itself.

2. Player development -- taking the players you have and making them better. Spurs are the best in the league at this.

Kawhi Leonard too was a draft steal, Spurs had him on their radar and knew he could be special! Splitter who knows? Will he get better? Lets hope because we need it.

Your damn right, the longevity here is INSANE! NOBODY lasted near this long with a core, NOBODY! Good points there. Shaq and Kobe core got three rings! They got that out of that core they had! Then later a different team got a few more. Miami won't be around in a few years with this team and it will all be a memory.

No, drafting definitely is part of it -- he was just claiming that the only three ways to improve a roster were draft, free agency, and trades, so I was adding the other important ones. Spurs don't do much with free agency and trades, but they dominate in draft value, second chance players, and player development.

:lol 75% of our first round draft picks are still playing in the league!

Even counting eras prior to free agency, Auerbach Celtics and Showtime Lakers are the only teams with better success over a long stretch of time with basically the same core. And both teams are deservedly legendary.

LMAO at "about the fans, not the Spurs."

If you watched the Finals, you'd realize why the Spurs fans you hate are acting in a way you find contemptible. So you either did not pay attention to the Finals or are a complete fucking moron for not appreciating a painfully obvious cause and effect.

Manu and Splitter played like dogshit. Despite massive overachievements from Duncan, Green, and others, we fell short because of Manu and Splitter's shortcomings. Since neither of them are likely to get better (Manu ain't getting younger and Splitter's problem is being inherently Euro soft), its a tad disappointing to fans that the Spurs just blew their entire free-agent wad on . . . (wait for it) . . . Manu and Splitter.

Think about it this way: The Heat were NBA Champs in 2012 and nonetheless aggressively pursued free agents -- in particular Ray Allen and Chris "Birdman" Anderson -- to bolster their roster. Allen and Anderson were huge for them in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Spurs are content to bring back the same roster that, despite overachieving, failed to get a ring. One team tirelessly improved an already championship-winning roster, the other is content to rehash one that can't get it done.

Yeah, that might irk a few fans whose hearts are still broken after a tragic Game 6.

If you can't understand that, the fault is yours not ours.

[EIC]

You missed one.

Not sure if serious.

If Manu hadn't shat all over the court in Games 2 and 4, we wouldn't have needed his heroics in Game 5.

You do realize that you justified the highest paid player on the roster by essentially arguing that he had one good game in a seven-game series, right?

We didn't win the championship so hollering for turnover after a Finals appearance isn't necessarily an evil. Not wanting to pay your former all-star to cost you wins and play 65% of the season isn't necessarily an evil. A good fan doesn't have to be sunshine and happiness all the time.

We lost! There should be discussion about which is the cream and which needs to be culled. There SHOULD be discussion of change and disappointment at the thought of giving up on trying to continue to succeed.

Fuck that quitter's "it's our time to suck and watch the sun set" attitude. We could keep getting better if we make the right choices.

Not expecting or appreciating appropriate negativity doesn't make any sense. It aint always gonna be rainbows and lollipops. Sometimes, a legend isn't gonna know when to call it quits and it's gonna be on somebody to say something, preferably sooner than later.

Fuck you guys being resigned to failure just because the Big 3 is getting old. Don't be fucking scared to make changes. It's called growth.

[lowdown]

Look, I agree with all who say that Manu & Splitter played terrible in the finals. But Ohm has a point. Every year, every goddamn year, Spurs fans wish the front office will make a splash during this free agent period. And it never happens. And they continue to win. And they go to the Western Conference finals. And they go to the finals. And they almost win - should have won - with the likes of Danny Green, Cojo, and Gary Neal. Gary goddamn Neal! I have yet to hear of one guard who is good enough to kiss Ginobli's 3 rings mentioned in free agency that the Spurs were linked to. I don't want this team to rely on Manu and his reckless play this next season. But the way this team is built, and with the salary cap situation, Splitter & MANU's contract were about what they should have been. Check that, they were actually a bargain. Korver? Ellis? Are you fucking kidding me? I'm not even sure about AK47 at this point in his career. Who is better that Splitter & Manu that the Spurs should've signed? I mean, Dwight Howard is clearly better than Splitter but he's obviously unobtainable and more of a puss than Splitter. But he does dunk. Who gives a shit. I'm like everybody else, still pissed that the Spurs - particularly Ginobili & Pop - blew that game 6 and therefore the finals but damn, people need to wake up and realize this isn't some EA game you can just pick & choose who you want the Spurs to sign and that they would even be a good fit.

[Vash StampedE]

what about the guy that single handedly won game 5
Still, you gotta admit that he sucked during the Finals and he did not make the situation now - offseason, free-agency - better with his new contract. I was hoping before today's news that he would sacrifice a little bit more for the team to be able to make a big free agency move. Anyway, after all this, I have big expectations on Manu come season 2013-2014: not big numbers, but just to be consistent and be healthy.

[elmanutres]

im calling it now. this is gonna be a thread that will be bumped months or even years from now

And they go to the Western Conference finals. And they go to the finals. And they almost win - should have won - with the likes of Danny Green, Cojo, and Gary Neal. Gary goddamn Neal! I have yet to hear of one guard who is good enough to kiss Ginobli's 3 rings mentioned in free agency that the Spurs were linked to. I don't want this team to rely on Manu and his reckless play this next season. But the way this team is built, and with the salary cap situation, Splitter & MANU's contract were about what they should have been. Check that, they were actually a bargain. Korver? Ellis? Are you fucking kidding me? I'm not even sure about AK47 at this point in his career. Who is better that Splitter & Manu that the Spurs should've signed? I mean, Dwight Howard is clearly better than Splitter but he's obviously unobtainable and more of a puss than Splitter. But he does dunk. Who gives a shit. I'm like everybody else, still pissed that the Spurs - particularly Ginobili & Pop - blew that game 6 and therefore the finals but damn, people need to wake up and realize this isn't some EA game you can just pick & choose who you want the Spurs to sign and that they would even be a good fit.
Correction: Not every year we've had a great/almost-successful season.

It was only last year and this year that the Spurs achieved such seasons. Of course, all players played a part in this, including Manu and Tiago but in my perspective, the main factors that really helped the team reach what they have reached these past 2 seasons are Tim Duncan's renaissance play, and Kawhi and Green's immense development. Next season, our team attaining what they were so close to take last season - championship - still depends on the latter. For the former, however, it is very difficult for me to expect another excellent season from Timmeh after all that he has given us, fans and the Spurs organization. Moreover, he is in the finals years of his career and we all want him to taste that one last championship even though he already has 4. But 4 is not enough for a super-class person that Tim is.

That perhaps is the reason for all the bitterness towards Manu and Tiago and these somehow BIG contract of theirs.

Let me correct your corrections. The Spurs have been competitive every year since they last hoisted the Trophy. This is with the Roger Masons & the Ime Udokas on the roster. Tim Duncan may not win another championship - in fact it's likely that the '13 Finals was the realistic last chance. The bitterness you refer to is not going away any time soon. Once again, let me repeat, I too am pissed off at Manu about his turnovers and over bad play in game 6 and the end of game 7. Now just take a step back and look at who is available for the Spurs to sign and reflect on what they normally do during the off season. They don't sign big names very often if ever and they still should've won the whole thing. By the way, whatever you think of Manu & Tiago, look at all the overpaid above average players in the league. Look at all the GMs that make poor decisions and the rosters that don't quite work together for the system the team runs. Those 2 contracts the Spurs decided to give make total sense to me. By the way, I wasn't much of a fan of Ime or Rogers. I mentioned them as examples of the kind of players the Spurs usually sign.

The homers who are demanding this pussy conservative, non changing approach don't seem to be grasping the concept that with age, players get worse. Standing pat would be a good idea if your team was improving naturally (like OKC), but not when it's declining (like us, like Boston was, like Dallas).

Being a homer in this case is worse than being a "hater", as for some reason people not being blind homers are being called now. You guys are providing no logical alternatives. You're just saying to sit down and watch the team you know won't be as good and will slowly get worse over the next couple of years.

Then what? Duncan's gone. Now where are we? Great, we got to see a couple of parade years by Ginobili. . .while Duncan doesn't get back to the Finals for another shot at #5. And even if we do, we have Ginobili shitting the bed again to look forward to. He will be shitting the bed too since the Spurs refused to bring in someone to help handle some of his responsibilities. Therefore he will be in the same situations making the same bad decisions. If he's even healthy enough to be there.

Constructive criticism is always better than conservative ignorance imo.


As much as I hate to side with the GNSF's, they got a point. The fact is that Ginobili's $7 million contract eats up significant cap space. Spurs finally had a chance to add another key piece, but instead they'll be looking at adding another role player.

We all watched the same playoffs. Spurs had been struggling to score during crunch time when the game is close. When Parker is shut down, the offense dies. Trotting out the same Parker/Ginobili/Green/Leonard/Duncan lineup that's another year older guarantees the same failure. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.

I can't believe Spurs fans and the management are still burying their heads in the sand and still think this core can win a championship. Especially those that actually think Ginobili's contract is a good idea. He had a miserable year, every year showed significant decline, injury prone, will be 36 years old, and made terrible decisions in the finals. These are facts. Even the most die hard Ginobili fan knows he played a terrible finals series and cost the Spurs game 6, their best chance of stealing the championship.

The Spurs had an opportunity to tell Ginobili that they would like to keep him but will move on to a different direction. Ginobili could either take less money or move on. But the Spurs didn't and it perplexes me. It wouldn't have even been too much of a risk. Ginobili degraded so much that he was only scoring 11 points and letting him facilitate the offense was like playing russian roulette. Replacing him with a $8-10 million free agent would have been a step forward. How do Spurs fans who want to see the team improve suck?

The bolded bit is exactly how I was describing Ginobili's play during the Finals. Literally using the game russian roulette as an example too. So I know exactly how you feel about the guy's decline in ballhandling. Manu was very good two years ago, but jesus christ the guy has NOT aged well. Timmy aged gracefully. . .Manu's aging has been ugly as hell.

Competitive, yes. Contenders, no.

It is hard to tell whether a free agent would fit in the Spurs system or not. Many, including GM Buford, were wrong on RJ and other lured FA. Of course, there are others who pan out. Hence, if your team has the money to sign a perceived effective player, then why not give it a try? But as you may know, our team has much less money to spend in that endeavor. I have no problem with the 2 aforementioned players coming back to the team. Actually, I'm excited. But their "big" contracts, in some ways, put down our team's chances to sign a good player and also, our chance to probably become a better team.

Yes we want to replace a guy with 8 turnovers in game 6 and cost us a championship. Our bad.

Aren't these morons funny? LOL! There is only one irreplaceable player on the Spurs, that is TD.

Manu played international ball for a decade, taking the Spurs money, and giving up his body overseas for nothing. For the last 3 years, he's been always injured, old, scrub, who occasionally has a good game, and now some Spurs fans are having a heart attack that many Spurs don't won't him back.

This is basketball, not charity. If you can't play, you, you should be cut/not resigned.

Manu just cost the Spurs a title, and many before that.

If Pop had any guts at all, he wouldn't have resigned the scrub.

But Pop doesn't.

tl;dr

Long story short . . . you are an entitled, unappreciative fuck weasel. Spurs should have won game 6. There were multiple opportunities Duncan, Manu, TP, Kawai . . . Pop. It didn't work out. Stop whining about it.

:lol BirdmanSpurs homer spreading the blame trying to justify the epic choke failure instead of admitting the root causes which were Manu and Pop. GTFO of here. :lmao

Manu has 3 titles, Pop has 4. What do you have save for a ineffective thought process, a keyboard and all that wasted space you occupy?

Tend to agree with Ohm a bit. Spurs fanbase is rather annoying overall. They cry havoc and throw temper tantrums over just about everything. I see know real point in arguing about it since same fans will argue till there face is red or start personally attacking you because they don't know how to not take offense over someone disagreeing with them.

:lol The Spurs kept Manu and signed Belinelli. Splitter's deal was fair market value and all the available replacements were unrealistic or worse.

Idiots.
