You need to get a handle on your website/forum. How can I say this without sounding rude. Spurstalk is turning to shit.

I know you guys don't like to ban or delete threads but I think a small amendment is in order.

There are still some relevant posters on here, you just have to wade through all the Pop/Manu bashing, which I admit gets pretty tiring when you hope to get some decent info.

Thank you Spurs for everything you've done. I have nothing but blind faith and loyalty for the organization. I trust that you'll do everything possible to assemble a championship contender team every year. I am proud of the 4 championships that this franchise has earned therefore I am nobody to ever question your decisions.

Pop is the best coach in the NBA. The man is the most humble coach in the NBA and can never go wrong with decisions. Coach Pop is a genius and is always open to different ideas and is one of the best at making adjustments during the playoffs. Pop imposes his will against other NBA coaches. He never outcoaches himself nor does he ever get outcoached. Four NBA titles are a testament to his greatness.

We have the best front office in the NBA. No other franchise does a better job at recruiting free agents. This organization would not have 4 championships without our wonderful general manager in RC Buford who is the epitome of professionalism on and off the court.

Tim Duncan should be grateful that he landed in such wonderful organization. Timmy would not be the greatest power forward of all time without coach Pop. Tim Duncan would not have 4 rings without Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. Tim Duncan is also very fortunate to play along two future Hall of Famers in Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. Without Parker and Manu, Tim would not have all the individual accomplishments he has.

The Spurs have been the best organization in the NBA for the past 15 years, better than the Lakers. Thank you Spurs and I am proud of being a Spurs homer.

Admittedly with how the season ended there has been a bit more trolling/cliff-jumping/ect and some of that should (hopefully) dissipate once the season starts. UnwantedTheory does have a point though, all the attention being paid to these trolls through various threads/replying to their posts/ect isn't helping get rid of them. The Ignore list is there for a reason. Its not foolproof but it will at least cut down on some of crap you will have to wade through to get to more intelligence posts/conversation.

That being said, in comparison to past offseasons on ST, it does seem this one has seen the rise of a few posters who have had a negative impact on the overall quality of the site, either through deliberate trolling attempts or outspokenness and over-zealousness. I truly appreciate what this site offers as far as the leniency on moderation and the fact they don't overreact to ignorant or moronic posts, and they do allow a wide-range of opinions to be voiced. This is the internet and people need to accepted that some trolling is going to occur.

My only criticism would be that at some point "free speech" can undermine free speech when it devolves into who can yell the loudest or in this case post the most frequently. I'm not sure its gotten to that point on ST, although it would seem it is at least starting to wandering down that path a bit. I don't want to see ST become a site dominated by whomever posts most often and uses the most racist or profane language at the cost of friendly/intelligent discussion. My two cents at least.

As for the non-funny trolls...fuck'em.

I'll say this again, if Oden chooses the Heat then I hope he tears his ACL's and retires for good. That's right... I'm a Spurs homer. :huh


OP is such a fucking moron. I challenge that retarded OP (Manutard) to find a quote where I said that the “Spurs would have 5 rings now if TP and Manu should not have existed.” I've said plenty of times that championships are team accomplishments and that ring counting is for idiots.


I don't rebuttal to personal insults. That's too low for me tbh. The insane are ignored by me. If you wanna argue bball, then I'm down.

So tossing "personal insults" at others like OP is alright, but you "don't rebuttal to "personal insults"??? :huh :huh

This is America after all...freedom of speech!Thanks bro, I appreciate the support. SBM gave me the best advice ever when he noticed that I was being ganged up on. This quote is classic to me so enjoy:
I should have told you this before- but I think over the last couple of days - you have started to see it;

People in here HATE....I mean HATE ...truth...

Nothing will bring out the popsuckers and spurs homers wrath more than - TRUTH.


They absolutely HATE it. They will label you a troll, will try to gang up and hit you from all sides and all the others will appear out of nowhere and have a little hate parade.

If you want to be "accepted"

You must;

A) Never tell the truth or call things exactly what they are - you cannot do this. Truth will get you on the "outside" here.

B) Pop is always right. Every decision is justified- because - 4 rings, hall of fame, etc....

C) Even when you are PROVEN right - it didn't happen and you are still a stupid troll, an idiot, and - it just never happened- and if you try to say - "but it was the truth!---and I was correct!"....just go back and look at (A) above.

D) Titles are for winners....2nd place is what these Spurs homers are satisfied with - don't try to understand - don't try to convince anyone here that the object and the highest hope is a championship - because --- it isn't what is important here. Following Pop and spurs mgmt is more important than actually winning titles. 4 is enough and anything else on top of 4 titles makes you greedy and spoiled and a stupid idiot in here.



If you understand all that - your time here will be a little better. Just lower your standards and be accepted and ....

There're some pugnacious adults who seem to really enjoy dickering over frivolous issues and never seem to be grown up, but Yacht is nothing like them imho.

I'm a diehard Spurs fan, I'm not a troll. I'm just being honest and objective. I'll admit that sometimes I go overboard with the name calling but I’m just a very passionate Spurs fan. Some people really deserve the name calling tbh. Some people say that I'm delusional because I believe the things I say; well I think the exact same thing of Spurs homers.

Spurs homers have no idea how ridiculous they look in the eyes of a non-biased Spurs fan. You all have blind homerism that think the FO is the best in the world, Pop is the greatest coach of all time, and Manu is a God when all are byproducts of Tim Duncan. Spurs organization hit the jackpot when they drafted Tim Duncan. Thanks to Tim Duncan, the Spurs FO is overrated. Thanks to Tim Duncan, Gregg Popovich has developed and ego and become one of the most stubborn coaches in the NBA. Thanks to Tim Duncan, Manu is a future Hall of Famer.

To those that say I'm just a Tim Duncan fan and not a Spurs fan, well you guys are wrong. Is it possible to be a diehard Spurs fan like myself while being a diehard Tim Duncan fan? Of course, I mean if the Spurs do well, then so does Timmy. I was a Tim Duncan fan before I became a Spurs fan and there is no crime in that. Your own moderator Kori Ellis was/is a Tim Duncan fan. Don't believe me? Check this out:
Close but not really. I was a Tim Duncan fan (not a Spurs fan though), living in L.A., and posting on SpursReport. However, timvp has been a Spurs fan since he was born.
Both of us were banned from SpursReport together after I had posted there for about a year (timvp had posted there for many years). By the time of banning, timvp and I were married (I had moved to S.A.), and I was covering the Spurs for WOAI.com.
Then we started SpursTalk.
you haven't been here long enough. kori had followed tim duncan since his hs years and she became a fan of him before any spurs fan. living in LA doesn't necessarily mean being a laker or clipper fan imho

I mentioned this in another thread (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=220435&page=4&p=6784376#post6784376) but I’ll say it again. I used to love Manu Ginobili. I used to be a Spurs homer like most of you. The Game 6 heartbreaking loss removed the Spurs goggles off my yes. I guess this loss really hurt because it was the closest we’ve been to winning a championship in six years. This championship would of probably enhanced Tim Duncan’s legacy and given him his 4th NBA Finals MVP.

BTW, a lot of you Spurs homers probably got butt hurt in 2011 when Charles Barkley made a bold prediction and picked the Grizzlies to upset the Spurs. Why was he right? He was being objective and non-biased.

Pretty sure Duncan wasn't on the 2004 Argentine Olympics team. Why the hell did Manu play so well then?

But go ahead and go on a tangent again about how this means I have no respect for Duncan.

You can go into the settings and adjust it so you can access the site without the images. I had to do this so that I could go the site at work.

There is a troll-free zone reserved for basketball discussion:

http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=37

As for the rest, we see it every summer. This summer is worse than most because of the way the season ended. Scroll through or a take a break from the forum, but pleas for increased moderation will fall on deaf ears.

While I agree nothing is likely to be done, I disagree that this is business as usual. I used to think that I was one of the worst antisocial douchebags around here and now I'm not even close. I don't think I have done some sort of evolution either.

The hateful shit that is thrown around here is truly astounding.

I guess I am not the only one sensing that.

My favorite poster is chumpdumper. That dude can pick fights like crazy and then twist words to make the aggressor look like a jackass. It's typically pretty humorous.

But this is the best place to get Spurs news. It seems like before any news agency reports a thing someone has posted it here. And there are people here (namely Bruno) that understand the CBA really well - and that always helps. As well as some legitimate insiders (where you at trill?).

But really, I just come here everyday hoping for the return of Kill_Bill_Pana. Best. Poster. Ever.


I am not sure which is more pathetic;
#1) That a person is such an asshole (chumpie) that he devotes his life to this assholish behavior...or...
#2) That another person (darkwaters) admires this sort of behavior.

Seriously, if in your daily life you ran across a guy who would come up to people and display such behavior and you admired it - you both would be dead a long time ago.

Taken for granted in this place.

These are the people that are suddenly up in arms over TGY - who basically just speaks his mind and doesn't parrot the same homer and trollish bullshit.

Put in this perspective - it is very obvious who the idiots are.

The ratio of trolls to real users is way too high
The ratio of shitty posters to good ones is waaaay too high

It is the offseason though lol

There's an excessive amount of gay bashing and out right racism. That in of itself keeps this forum from being what it should be. Its beyond the typical colorful quips and random attacks. Its a full blown infection.

On top of that the never ending usage of "tbh" is flat, out of control. Do you people really need to put that at the beginning, middle and end of every god damn post?
