[ShoogarBear]

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

Stupidest thing I've ever seen.

What a bunch of weasles.

[mrose31]

Im thinking someone from Dallas may have created this.

[SpursWoman]

:lol

[usckk]

Wow, wtf?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I just sent a bug with this message:

There's that team that won the NBA Championship last season.

[rayray2k8]

I sent a message too, but i think they meant to do that.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I sent a message too, but i think they meant to do that.

I thought so, too, but reading the blurb above the poll, nothing would give notice to that fact.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Where is this poll?

That's pretty funny.

This proves my point. ESPN is the stupidest network ever made.

[ShoogarBear]

That does it, man. Game over. We're hosed. No chance now.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

*Waiting for Stephen A. Smith to post in this thread.* :elephant

[Dunc]

All that really matters is that SI preseason curse. For your sake, I hope they didn't pick the Spurs. Luckily for us, I think they picked us to finish like 4th in the West...
:lmao

[mrose31]

The other funny thing is it says this right above the poll

"Make your predictions below and give it some thought because we'll remind you of your picks when the playoffs start! "


Maybe whoever made this poll should have given it more thought before he started this poll to be voted on.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

This proves my point. ESPN is the stupidest network ever made.

Eh...

:lmao

They picked the Pistons to finish fourth in the West?

That does suck. :lmao

[Dunc]

Sorry. I meant sports network. :oops

[Dunc]

Sorry, I meant East. I think I've talked too much about the West in the past couple days for my own health. I should go back to bed.

[SpursWoman]

I just sent a bug with this message:



"There's some weird-ass bug that wouldn't let me see the Spurs as an option on your latest 'Who's Gonna Win It' NBA poll."


:lol :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

-> Report a Bug


Your genius poll writer forgot the Spurs in the West. Did Mark Cuban come up with this one or something?

[dknights411]

You darned right they left out a team. WHERE ARE THE TORONTO RAPTORS?!?

[lilmads]

[ShoogarBear]

I'd swallow my tongue before I'd watch Lifetime . . .

[stretchman21]

[Spurologist]

wtf. another poll sanctioned by Stephen A.

[missmyzte]

I love Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network ....

[zero signal]

Eh...

http://brighthouseadvertising.com/orl_sec/images/lmn.jpg Ah yes, Lifetime: Television for Victims. http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smishootme.gif

[ABDENOUR POWER]

This is just proof that the Spurs stand no chance against the Pistons, Mavs, or even Jazz for that matter. :spin

[Brutalis]

Being a dumbass on purpose? Who knows.

[mavsfan1000]

Well I guess they didn't think the spurs are quite at that level to be on the poll.

[Old School Chic]

I love Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network ....

:elephant Me too!
But Shoogar doesn't like it because he knows most of the movies are of how men really are :lol

[Old School Chic]

Well I guess they didn't think the spurs are quite at that level to be on the poll.

3 trophies later and they are still bitter about our Spurs :lol

[gospursgojas]

This got Don Harris all riled up on Don's Extra Point

[bdubya]

That does it, man. Game over. We're hosed. No chance now.

Dammit. I wanted the REMATCH. Crushing the Mavs or whoever just won't be as fulfilling. :lol

Maybe in '07?

[ShoogarBear]

Depends on if ESPN will let us.

[1Parker1]

Don't dare make fun of Lifetime movies. You'll have to answer to me and Shelly otherwise.

[infinite styles]

Did they end up taking the poll down cause I can't find it on any of teh ESPN pages at all?

[Joepa]

Check the link out that was posted on pg 1 of this thread. I was able to follow it there.

Sorry to get here so late, but the life of the greatest sports analyst is a busy one. Now obviously some of you are up in arms over the fact (FACT!) that San Antonio is not going to repeat. Actually by the looks of the numbers they may not even make the playoffs. What no one bothered to tell you guys in Spursville is that the NBA is actually shifting the playoff system so that teams no longer win by actually playing, but instead they will voted for, much in the same way that the Oscars and seats in Congress are handed out. It's a system that I've favored for years, as clearly the people are ready to handle such an important decision. After all, they've been voting for my boys AI and the Big Fella for the All Star team for years, so they must possess at least the intellect to realize that I am 100% correct about their greatness; something that the hatas on this board can't begin to fathom. You might think this is unfair to the Spurs, but they have no one to blame but themselves. If they didn't this to happen they shouldn't have drawn such poor ratings in the finals last year.

Besides, this new system will actually do you a favor of not having to watch your Spurs get beat. Let's face it, how on earth can a team with Rasho Nesterovic possibly win a championship? I know that some revisionist NBA historians are going to come at me waiving their stats and trying to tell me that the Spurs won last year while Rasho was on the team. However we all know that the Heat won last year, securing Shaq's reputation as the most dominant force in the NBA. The Spurs and Pistons of course refused to acknowledge this, and staged a fake NBA finals, even going so far as to bribe high ranking officials at ABC and the NBA to allow it and making a fake Larry O'Brien trophy.

Now you may say to yourself why am I just hearing about this? Because Stephen A. Smith is the only journalist with enough street cred to tell it like it is. The bottom line is that ESPN is the world's finest news source and the people have spoken. No title for the Spurs and quite frankly, the world is better for it.

[Darrin]

Wow, wtf?

It's the tabloids - they'll write anything. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

[Stacis_pistons_rock]

Well I guess they didn't think the spurs are quite at that level to be on the poll.
and you think they think a team who's known for choking when the real basketball session begins does?

Stephan A. ....... I hate you so much it hurts. But it's a pain that I like.

[nkdlunch]

CIA Pop has done it again. Now the Spurs are so low-key they don't even appear in the teams listing anymore. Noone even knows what conference they play in anymore!
