True or False..Spurs players lurk spurstalk

[apalisoc_9]

I mean what else can you do with your downtime? I work 40 hours a week and go out on weekends, and I still find myself going to spurstalk..

It's the most popular spurs site and shows up everytime you type spurs on google.

[sananspursfan21]

Google's how I found it

[tmtcsc]

I seriously doubt it. Why would they?

[wildchild]

Only Manu and Boris seem to be tech friendly, they're also highly involved on twiter or IG (Boris) but I can't see Tim or Kawhi searching their names on google. :D

[SupremeGuy]

I don't even remember how I ended up here, tbh.

[manufan10]

True. apalisoc_9 is Kawhi.

[SupremeGuy]

False.
Only Manu and Boris seem to be tech friendly, they're also highly involved on twiter or IG (Boris) but I can't see Tim or Kawhi searching their names on google. :DTim is tech friendly, or at the very least, we know he's a gamer. Could he write a line of code to save his life? Probably not. That doesn't mean he's never googled himself and shit. lol

[ceperez]

For the scrubs .... i.e. Anderson, Daye, Ayres... all looking for some kind of acknowledgement, validation or critique of their efforts... it may be likely.... however they may also be receiving that from their coaches.

[SupremeGuy]

True. apalisoc_9 (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=11260) is Kawhi.:lol

[spurraider21]

i think i found this site when trying to google up on trade rumors... i'm sure they have stumbled upon it but doubt they would lurk after reading some of the thread titles

[SupremeGuy]

Yeah, I'm sure they probably checked it out when they first found it, but then got butthurt by some of our honest opinions and decided to never comeback. :lol

They're here?!?! I want to meet Danny Green!!! Hey, Mr. Green, I am from Brooklyn across the street from Pratt and grew up fishing Long Island - Oyster Bay, Glen Cove - Once at night I was fishing the jetty at Montauk at night and knocked myself out cold with a fishing lure when I thought I had a hit. I tried to set the hook, them WHAM a huge lure clocked me in the face. When I woke up one of the treble hooks was wedged into the bone of my chin, I had to be taken by ambulance to get it removed. Now, nobody could make that up, I want to meet you and shake your hand, your perseverance has been an inspiration to me and my kids, and besides, we kind of look alike, although I'm twice your age and my eyes are green - Hey, see? Green -green It's fate, man!!! IF nothing else, just send me an email at [email protected] and I will cherish it for life! A true fan - John

[Embedded]

Oh, P.S. I won't tell anybody, or else every doofus here will be making up 'clocked in the face with a fishing lure' stories just to get an email from Danny Green.

[look_at_g_shred]

Danny Green checking in... lol #holocaust

[DrunkTXLabrat]

if i was a player, i would totally still be a spurstalker

[ChumpDumper]

I'm sure they have better things to do.

[Beaverfuzz]

Danny Green checking in... lol #holocaust

L O L :lol

[SupremeGuy]

Danny Green checking in... lol #holocaust:lol

[Mikeanaro]

Yeah, Manu probably is lurking too much and now is trolling his teammates.

[PingPong]

The NSA lurks it, for sure. Obama, the Pope, Queen Elizabeth, Kanye West who gives a fuck? It's the internet, kids. Yeah, probably most of the players who spend some time surfing the internet lurk here often. Not only the spurs players, probably people from other teams too. It's not your neighborhood, it's the world wide web.

[Blake]

I'm sure they have better things to do.

Lol I'm sure I do too

[hater]

I was told a few spurs did lurk here but after the site went to shit (about 3 years ago) they got sick of it and never come here.

A few of the Spurs front office do lurk here to see what the masses think. They are not impressed and just come for the comedic takes :lmao

[Uriel]

I seriously doubt it. Why would they?
You'd be surprised at how frequently celebrities Google their names. People are hardwired to be social animals; they care about what other people think of them. So I would actually be very surprised if no Spur had ever Googled his name, stumbled across a thread on SpursTalk, and read what the Spurs fans here had to say about him.

[wildcardX]

Yeah, Pop was in here last season. Everytime his coaching was criticized, he gave Ayres extended minutes. "Here, let them bitch about that."

[DMC]

I think these guys get only a little time with their families and most don't spend it goofing off online.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Who was lead here by the old Spurszone.com site back in the day?

[exstatic]

If any player ever stumbled onto this place, they'd leave pretty damn quick.

[hater]

I think these guys get only a little time with their families and most don't spend it goofing off online.

absolutely false. They have countless nights in hotel rooms.

what did they think of your thread about Duncan being done?

[hater]

what did they think of your thread about Duncan being done?

I beleive everyone had jump shipped altready. back when Argentine and manutard fans were sending PM death threats to Brent Barry about starting instead of Manu :lmao

[ElNono]

:lol

true, they lose their shit Evita style anytime their heroes are attacked.

[DMC]

Extended family.

It's the most popular spurs site and shows up everytime you type spurs on google.

I don't see spurstalk.com now on the first page when I google 'spurs'. lol and I really have to google that

[Dex]

I don't understand why people think Spurs players wouldn't have better things to do than kill time on the internet occasionally.

Yes, they devote a lot of time to basketball. That's their job. A lot of us devote a lot of time to our jobs.

It doesn't mean they don't have off-hours, off-days, off-weekends, or even summers to kill some time that isn't spent at practice, the gym, or with their family/girlfriend/dimepiece. Especially since these days spend half the year in planes, busses, and on the road.

Do they care about reading what a bunch of us have to say about them? Maybe. Maybe not. Probably better if they don't.

But they definitely have the time to do it if they want, and most of them have the internet presence already these days.

[50Bestspurever]

Millionaires down time much different than ours. lol

[Malik Hairston]

Ron Artest used to frequent LG and Clutchfans IIRC..

Some others players have been known to check out forums, too, IIRC..

I don't think most players themselves actually browse NBA forums, but there are many examples of immediate family members and close friends that are monitoring the Twitter/forums chatter for them, it seems:lol..

[TheGreatYacht]

Doubt they would waste their time to check out what retard thread OP made

[BatManu20]

I'm sure a couple have come on here and lol'd for a bit then bounced. Doubt many, if any, come here regularly.

[thiste]

I believe Pop lurks here for coaching advice, just as RC does for trade advice.

[100%duncan]

TBH if some went they would have clicked "x" the minute they see the 1st page top thread, any top thread.

[Baam]

I think the FO may visit the Think tank, I actually believe that Bruno was hired by the Spurs tbh :lol.

[FromWayDowntown]

I believe Pop lurks here for coaching advice, just as RC does for trade advice.

I'm not just lurking . . . .

[LoneStarState'sPride]

If I were a player, I would only come to sites like this for the lulz.

Some of y'all don't know your heads from a hole in the goddamn ground. Myself included, on occasion :lol

[DapDaGenius]

If anyone lurks on SpursTalk, it would have to be Ayres. I can just see him looking up what people are saying about him and stumbling across Spurstalk.


I don't even remember how I ended up here, tbh.

Me neither. I just remember waiting like 3 months for my account to be activated.

[SupremeGuy]

If anyone lurks on SpursTalk, it would have to be Ayres. I can just see him looking up what people are saying about him and stumbling across Spurstalk.That actually makes me feel a little bad, tbh. :lol

[ivanfromwestwood]

Yes Matt Bonner was exposed by timvp a few years back in this game thread.
http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=189623&page=2&p=5575136#post5575136

TimMVP Why do you hate Bonner so much? Your write up on the game was fairly close to what happened. EXCEPT LA did not abuse Bonner. He scored all of 2 points while Bonner was on the court and Bonner made his one 3 pt attempt. His grade should have been INC because he only played 6 mins. If you are going to make the write up at least watch objectively on ALL the players and not hate on Bonner because you dont like how he is used. Bonner is not an inside threat and never will be, but he does he ROLE as well as any other player on the team.
mailboogie52. MB52. Matt Bonner 52. Matt Bonner wore 52 in high school :wow

Welcome to, ST :tu



Edit: Your edit wasn't quick enough :smokin

[wildchild]

I don't think most players themselves actually browse NBA forums, but there are many examples of immediate family members and close friends that are monitoring the Twitter/forums chatter for them, it seems:lol..

Fam, friends or their agents. Monitor the interaction across social media is part of their PR agents jobs.
PR manager analyses how impact the player's personality on those online platforms, if the player increases/decreases his credibility, reputation, with focus on future consumer buying behaviours and future endorsement deals.

[lefty]

Brent Barry hired us tbh

[DapDaGenius]

That actually makes me feel a little bad, tbh. :lol

I've always felt kind of bad about it when it comes to Ayres. He gets so much shit. lol

[bluebellmaniac]

I thought it was common knowledge that 90% of the posts on here are Spurs or NBA players. Has OP never seen an ESPN commercial? That is real life...

[Biernutz]

The Spurs media spends more time here than the players do. This is where the get the "scoops"
for their next story. Spurs talk even has it's resident Spurs insider Tlong II.

[Rapper]

Break a serect

Actually I am the real Timmy Duncan and I have been pretending a Chinese boy to lurk spurstalk since 7 years ago.

[Bartleby]

What would be funny is Spurs players trolling ST with posts about their teammates simply to mess with each other. Admittedly, it seems pretty unlikely, but then again, some of the veterans on the team do seem to have a sly sense of humor and enjoy pranks.

[EVAY]

No. They do not lurk here.

They do pay attention to Pounding the Rock.

[cjw]

Only Manu and Boris seem to be tech friendly, they're also highly involved on twiter or IG (Boris) but I can't see Tim or Kawhi searching their names on google. :D

Patty's twitter is actually a bot that posts the same thing the morning of every Spurs game.

[manufan10]

Peter Holt was xmas1997. It's why he kept posting about the potential of SA getting the Raiders.

[DAF86]

I seriously doubt it. Why would they?

I seriously doubt they don't. Why would they? Well, who doesn't want to know what people say about them.

[tmtcsc]

Well, who doesn't want to know what people say about them.

Me. I could care less. I don't think anyone who is self-confident and knows exactly who they are would care. Actors tend to care because their livelihood somewhat depends on it.

[Budkin]

Who was lead here by the old Spurszone.com site back in the day?

I used to post at Spurs Central in like 2005 when someone cross posted a link here (ace3g was a big poster over there). That's how I found it.

[DapDaGenius]

Hello, everyone. I am Austin Daye. Feel free to ask me anything and I'll answer it.
