I am a little out Of my Comfort zone come back

[Spur|n|Austin]

Thanks OP

[hooperflash]

I donated $25 and shared on Facebook :tu

Sucks to hear that the help after Hurricane Hugo wasn't ideal given all the damage and of that magnitude. Hopefully we can all do better this time. God bless them , especially with the next one coming in as well.

what are you on about?

[TheDoctor]

Irma blitzed them out then Jose wrecked them too. Back to Back major hurricanes (140mph+) in less than a week or so. Very sad.

Jose is still out in the atlantics

Thank goodness it wasn't, and that they didn't rebuild his swimming pool in time. Otherwise the Spurs would have already been in Kansas City, St. Louis or Seattle for the last 15 years & not looked back. "The Admiral" a very distant San Antonio memory with nothing left in the old city but minor league sports, drugs, and rancid greasy tacos, nor any championship memory to drink.

Tim is doing good work... Im from the same island he is from, but the neighboring islands in the virgin islands got destroyed... St. Thomas is where the spurs held one of their training camps like 11 years back for you old school spurs fans

[phxspurfan]

Tim wouldn't piss in your mouth if your gut was on fire.

Kinda off topic (I donated my 20, mmkay?) but I think it was Buck Harvey who wrote an article about San Antonio if Tim Duncan never came- Called "The Tim Duncan Effect" or something like that.

And Yeah, San Antonio sucked without him. Buck provided real numbers like revenue the Spurs brought to city, and the events that came because of the Spurs. Also, how they boost moral, etc. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd try and look for it, also I think E-N makes you pay just to type their URL in.

[Chinook]

Hopefully because you're not a sicko and would just give him some water.

[wildbill2u]

I made a donation because ST. Thomas used to be my second home and where I hoped to retire. After Hugo the devastation was so great many people only had the blue tarps that FEMA provided for their roofs because they had no insurance. Too expensve. And those tarps were still the only roofs on some of the poorer parts of the island years later. Irma was much more powerful than HUgo when it hit. In fact, the islands were the only place where Irma was a bona fide Category 5 hurricane when it hit land.

I'm sure the guys on Spurstalk that are always talking race have already donated to help their brothers who make up the majority of the population of the USVI, but I hope this won't descend into a racial argument. Let's answer Tim's call. He carried the team for so many years. Now he's just asking for a little payback for his family, friends, and neighbors.

[poop]

Tim is a great man.

If i wasnt broke id help just because its tim duncan asking

MSNBC interviewing Timmy about this right now.

[I. Hustle]

They had JJ Watt. Who did the VI have?

JJ Barrea should be gathering pesos, or whatever the Puerto rican Mexicans use for money, to help them out.

[TheGreatYacht]

This. I'm sure the tall tee wearing thugs were able to float away safely.

I like Tim. I just wonder where Tim's passion was when Houston was underwater.

I think it has more to do with how much national support and relief Houston was immediately receiving due to all mass amount of national coverage, whereas the US Virgin Islands are not only his hometown, but are far less populated, easily forgettable, and certainly wouldn't receive much attention from the majority of Americans tbh.

pics of you drinking bottled water there or it doesn't count

Should probably take the people from our Atlantic islands and relocate them to like Wyoming. Takes care of so many problems that way.

Then have them vote for Hillary.

[Chinook]

Then have them vote for Hillary.

If you're thinking about that, you could probably help balance out the electoral distribution that way.

[wildbill2u]

Last week I found a BEFORE and AFTER shot of the USVI and BVI from our satellites. On the before shot the islands were the normal lush green color of a tropical island. On the after shot, they were uniformly brown without a spot of green. I found some individual shots of the damage and you couldn't find a tree anywhere in the pix that had any leaves on it, no green bushes, nothing.

And yesterday they got hit again. Un-fucking believable.

[SAGirl]

Really worried and looking really scary. Completely uncommunicated from family in PR and what I have seen online looks catastrophic. A lot of flooding and destruction all over.

[ElNono]

Tim looks like he's about to film "Castaway 2"

Hope you have been able to communicate.

PR has been getting back slowly. Seems too slowly considering the needs and the amount of supplies getting there, which apparently cannot be distributed fast enough.

DMC (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=20665), oddly enough, PR cannot vote for the president but can vote in the preliminaries. They voted for Hillary over Bernie.

You know that whoever you guys vote for will NOT make a difference right? You guys are oblivious to what is happening and is continue to happen no matter who you "vote" for. Get a grip and quit posting on a spurs forum about politics.

[ceds]

I will make a comment in this thread.

it was never my intention to discuss any politics...no one could have predicted what happened.

I will only talk bball here

How are you guys doing in general?

[duncan2k5]

How are you guys doing in general?

Ppl are still in good spirits in general... Some ppl lost everything though... And like 12% of the island has power and we are under curfew at night time... But we still manage to do the best we can... Most businesses are open when the curfew is lifted, so that helps in making things feel almost normal... Im missing the hell out of the spurs though... Box scores and the forums are carrying me right now... Lol

Lol.. seems like what's going on in PR.

It's weird though that the VI are smaller and they're still at 12% power (PR is ~15%). PR is also having a curfew that the government has been shortening. I've just been trying to help however I can.

I'm keeping the islands in my prayers and hoping everything works out fast. I'm glad the people are keeping their spirits up.
