Does it sting

[Stevie Johnson]

When color commentators and sports anchors alike refer to the Spurs as defending champions? Defending champions they are not anymore. Nobody cares anymore that they won last year. True colors showed that they were not worthy of a champion by bowing out to the fucking Clippers of all teams. One of the main criticisms I have of the Spurs is that they thought they could get away shrugging off games away. They didn't act like champions, and for that they deserve to be where they are at: at home, on a couch, being fed a sandwich.

Does it sting realizing a team led by two prepubescent, nougat colored chuckers can't beat a real basketball team in the playoffs?

We have beat them, once, and that continues tonight. Meanwhile the Spurs are eating a sandwich on a couch in their homes. How does that feel?

Lol you are a clown. I´ve seen my team 5 times winning it all, you have seen nothing yet and even if they ring now there is 4 more left, lol 155 messages was your ass tickling and you ran to make an account here?.

[spursfan09]

No doesn't sting. Stings when you up by 5 with 28 seconds left in the NBA finals about to win your fifth championship and it fades away. Oh and I was 8 months pregnant to at that time. So nah doesn't sting.

Dear Stevie Johnson --

Thank you for saving us from the likes of Apalisoc.

A true troll is a relative thing of beauty in dark days like these. :)

Sincerely, the Spurstalk Community . . .

[moisaenz]

so spurs weren't worthy of being called champions after they won the championship?

[therealtruth]

All defending champs go through that. But most are able to flip the switch at some point. 2001 Lakers are the classic example. Snoozed through the season but when playoffs started breezed through it. It seems like the switch got stuck when the Spurs tried flipping it.

[Strategic]

Stings like a cloudy day in August. Now where's my sammich?

They're not the champions anymore. They've been dethroned.

So when they say 5 time champion Spurs, they should say 5 time dethroned instead?:lmao

Sure I like the sound of that. Doesn't erase the fact that they are dethroned. Does it make you feel sad boy?

No, every team has been dethroned we just won a ring with our aging Big 3 why should I feel sad?

A sandwich actually tastes really good with 5 rings on one hand.

Dude, the warriors lost to the clippers "of all teams" last year & they will again this year IF they even get that far. I don't think it's very smart talking shit when your boys are struggling so bad with Memphis right now.

[elmanutres]

awful troll tbh

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

^And the standard hasn't been high.

[Sean Cagney]

LOL not worthy of the title last year when they won a record games by 15+ points and dominated all the way through from game 7 on, went on a tear. I am guessing that is a fluke right? Let your team win that one title then talk some shit, until they you are just a troll talking worthless bullshit and we don't hear you dickhead.

[Venti Quattro]

:cry :cry :cry :cry :cry It still hurts :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry

[DarrinS]

It hurts much much worse when you get close to a championship and don't get it. You'll find out.

[Godbama]

This ^

also I was never the type of guy to pay attention to shit like "defending" or "current" champions, I'm not really going to use the term as a current moniker for a team outside of June. It's more like "ah, they won the championship last season/year" for me.

Honestly this year didn't sting or hurt too bad, more like it's temporarily numbed my overall love of basketball. I've always been a guy who tried to avoid becoming the typical dumbass team-fanboy fanatic exampIe (i.e. 90% of team forum sites including this one) despite being a Spurs fan, and I've always watched a ton of non-Spurs related basketball...but after our first round dropout I've totally stopped caring about the playoffs let alone kept muuuuuch track of it, which is pretty abnormal for me. Like I'm not the sorta guy who'd usually be paying more attention to LaMarcus-Spurs rumors than say Bulls-Cavs or GSW-Grizz, buuuut that's where I am right now I guess. I hope it passes by the conference finals.
So yeah, this year was more deflating than stinging for me.

[SASdynasty!]

It would sting if my team hadn't been to the Conference Finals in 39 years.

[SASdynasty!]

It would sting if my team had made the playoff 9 times in the last 38 years.

[SASdynasty!]

It would sting if my team had lost 34 of its last 35 games in San Antonio. http://bkref.com/tiny/f3TL2

Yeah I stopped caring about the playoffs too after the Spurs got eliminated. I've been so use to seeing the Spurs go far the past 3 seasons that my excitement for the playoffs ended when they lost. Deflating, sure. But I agree, it doesn't sting. Getting redemption last year and getting 5 the way we did is enough to keep me satisfied for a while. Anything from here on out is gravy.

The thing is this. You think you're talking shit but what you're actually doing is crediting the Spurs for being the champions they are. It'd be like talking shit to a Wizards fan (for getting bounced in the 2nd round, assuming they do). That makes sense since they haven't won dick in 40 years. But when you attempt to talk shit about a franchise that has won more titles than all other NBA teams except for 3, you come out looking like a god damn imbecile.
