Lol! Can't dwell on that stuff tho.

[John B]

What’s the biggest jump since the latest format though? It seemed it followed pretty much the order

[ducks]

NBA owners have around $10 billion in Chinese ventures despite the government’s authoritarian crackdown on free speech and the imprisonment of Uyghur Muslims in the country, ESPN reported, citing a study conducted by a New York-based firm called Strategy Risks.

:lol

[timvp]

So Adam Silver pulled the oops-redo-that-didn't-count card? :madrun

[Ariel]

Anyone familiar with the DID NOT NEED TO KNOW concept??? :pctoss

[slick'81]

I wondered how many times they test ran before the actual lottery. No crying over spilled milk

Enough to get it right.

As many as it took to get the desired results? :lol
J/k. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but still hurts, tbh

[PhantomDashCam]

We were drafting the same player at #9 as we were at #1. I've made peace with that. :lol

What's the point of a dress rehearsal with an actual drawing? Throw non-lotto teams in it if you have to do just to avoid this exact scenario.

state lotteries do like 3-4 test runs before the actual drawing. This is going to stick in spurs fans craw:lol

The rehearsal is nothing new. In fact, in 97, we were #1 in the rehearsal, #1 in the real draw, and our number combo popped out again when they were drawing for #2. Three times in a row.

[DMC]

We've drafted old Stan Pat it seems for years.

:bang

Iirc holt said “can we pick 2 also?” ��

That's definitely what it feels like.

I wish the internet was around in May 1997. Would've loved to have seen threads on maximizing that pick in potential trades with Pitino for 3 and 6.

[siraulo23]

welp :lol

how many times do they rehearse this shit?

[Chomag]

welp :lol

how many times do they rehearse this shit?
Until they get the results that they want. J/k! Man I don't want to go down that rabbit hole lol

There were message boards back in '97 but not as sophisticated as Spurstalk but they existed. AOL at the time had biggest basketball message boards on the internet. I went on their Spurs message board and must have read through 100 of spurs messages per day speculating on if the Spurs should trade the number 1 for 3 and 6. 90 percent of Spur fans at the time wanted to keep the number 1 pick and draft Duncan. I still remember Celtic fans saying on the message board at the time that Dave and Tim wouldn't be able to play together since both were Centers and the Spurs would regret not trading the Duncan for 3 and 6. Which was laughable back then.

Was it called Spurs Report?

If you are old enough to remember AOL had their own message boards for the NBA in which every team had their own message board.

I wasn't on there. I started at Spurs Report before this site was up.

[Seventyniner]

I remember an ESPN.com Spurs message board existing in 1999.

i used to get on the ticket 760 one back in 2000:lol

I used to also go on the ESPN message boards back then too. One thing that is funny is that the Laker fans were the worst with their trolling on the AOL message boards and ESPN message boards. Somethings never change.

LOL I used to love trolling the Lakers Rivals.com board about the 99 sweep. If only that one still existed during the rape trial.

WOAI's board was pretty good until Chris Duel's low effort trolling ran everyone off.

The ESPN message board lasted until the late '00s. I trolled the Lakers ESPN message board really hard when the Spurs took out the Lakers in '03. For 4 years they kept on dismissing the '99 title. It felt so good to get back at them after the 4 years of trolling they had done since '99. The trolling about the rape on Lakers ESPN message board was epic.

:cry But Rick Fox was out :cry

A lot of Laker fans played that card which was funny. I remember telling them Fox got owned by Jax during the regular season and wouldn't have been a non factor. That really enraged them.
