If Spurs dont win it all...

[Amare_Owns_Duncan]

If the Spurs dont win it all, would you you have rather they just tanked another season for a shot at the #1 pick? It worked for getting Duncan. Curious on your thoughts.

Well let’s be real 2 1/2. You are right though Duncan is a good player. No doubt. Doesn’t change the fact Spurs cheated the system to get him. But considering the average Spurs fan didn’t even know the Spurs existed till they won that first 1/2 of a championship you guys probably don’t know that. No charge for the history lesson.

Hmmm considering we are a very young team, but yeah ok. Man you guys are quick. I should have found this board years ago. Before you ask, yes there was a Spurs team prior to Duncan.


BTW...A little education for you...the owner more or less writes the checks, there is this guy called a GM. He is responsible for the most of the decision making, since most owners are business men not basketball men.

[Amare_Owns_Duncan]

Besides he made more dumb moves then good moves (Starbury anyone????). He didnt even want Nash it was D'antoni who went after him. AND D'antoni who is...who is...who is...anyone...thats right the new GM. Man before you know it you guys will stop screwing your farm animals and move out into the real world.

I think it will be good if Amare can come back this year...in time to shine in the playoffs.

That would be optimal, because then Amare can go for 30 every night while the Spurs outscore the rest of the Suns again...and again...and again...and going....and going.

That makes about as much sense as bloviating about the constant rain in Phoenix. The Baseline Bums were dumping guacamole on Larry Brown's head long before that john knocked up your mother.

P.S. It's kind of sad to talk about the "1/2 championship" when your team has zero in its history. You only wish you could have celebrated something.

The Spurs have three banners hanging in their arena. The Suns have three of the most epic chokes in NBA history (1981, 1994, 1995) and still no titles.

Must be that Texas math, one 30 something mvp, doesn’t make a team old. I wonder if the Spurs will tank the season following Duncan’s retirement for that #1 pick again.

thankgoodnes the 5mill we paid off to Stern came threw and our measly chance of getting hte #1 actually came thru.

[Amare_Owns_Duncan]

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?

Sorry I forgot you bandwagon fans don’t know any basketball history. See the year Duncan graduated the Spurs tanked the season so they could have a chance at the #1 pick. I should charge you guys for this basketball education. Just think you could amaze all your bandwagon friends.

[picnroll]

I'd prefer they tank next year for Oden.

The problem is that the Spurs, unlike the Suns, can't suck without trying to get those high draft picks from time to time.

[Extra Stout]

Must be that Texas math, one 30 something mvp, doesn’t make a team old. I wonder if the Spurs will tank the season following Duncan’s retirement for that #1 pick again.
You suck at reading comprehension.

Steve Nash is 32. Point guards start to decline in their mid-30's.

Texas math:

Suns with Nash the past two years: 104-33
Suns without Nash the past two years: 2-6

So when Nash declines, your Suns will be a *young* lottery team.

It aint fresh...People have been talking about it since 1997. Yes the Spurs had a team in 1997. Freaking bandwagon fan.

1996= 59-23 (win division)
1997= 20-62 (Hmmm same team wonder what happened, isnt Duncan available and boy the Admiral* is old and a choker)
1998= 56-26 (Wow they won the division again)

For those who have no idea who the admiral is, let me know and I will provide some background. And yes he was a basketball player.

[Hustle & Flow]

I'm about to spit me a flow up in here!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

If the Spurs tanked that season on purpose they sure did a shitty job of it, as I believe they had the worst mathematical odds of any of the lottery teams at getting the number one. And don't try to tell me for a second that the NBA office rigged something for the Spurs. David Stern looks like he's about to vomit every time he says the word Spurs and Champions in the same sentence. And Robinson wasn't the only injury they Spurs had that year. Just about every member of that roster missed significant time.

And bitch all you want about Duncan, but that doesn't change the fact that the Spurs have arguably gotten the two biggest draft steals in the last five years in Parker and Ginobili. That's not luck, that's intelligent front office work.

Go stock up on bait, because this time in May you'll be going on a fishing trip.

Actually genius I think the fact that he went down and the Suns kept winning shows that he's not the stud you think he is. It's all Nash, genius. You're the stat guru here so go ahead and find out what the Suns record without Stoudemire is, and what their record without Nash is. Amare is a great athlete, but no one in the league last season had more inflated stats in my opinion. Just about any player in the league is going to come up big when they have the best assist man in the league dropping perfect passes in their lap right under the basket.

You still didn't address my point regarding their records with and without the Nash and Stoudemire. I didn't say that Amare was terrible, just that his game is built around him being a great athlete. That's more than enough to get a ROY, but it's not enough to be considered a stud player. Duncan has one of those too, along with those three finals MVP trophies.

have you ever had back problems? mcgrady doesn't seem to be faring too well with them the last 2 seasons. maybe the rockets are making him play as much as they can to avoid being a team like san antonio, but they probably would have been better off in the long run letting him sit most of the season. back problems can't be surgically repaired as easily as a knee problem - most of the solutions involve fusing vertebrae which makes it pretty tough to play basketball. i guess larry bird is a wimp cuz his wittle back hurt him enough to make him retire?

this topic sucks more than me!

[veronicamae]

If you don't like the Spurs, "Amare," then why are on you a Spurs message board? No one here appreciates your lame attempt at "trash talk," though the humor it brings is much appreciated. :lol But, I'm sorry you feel the need to act this way, being that your team has only managed to beat us once this season (and by only 5 points at that). Had the Suns swept the season, you would have a little more room to talk.

Oh, and maybe if Amare actually steps on a court this season, he'd at least have the chance to own Dun...what am I saying! Silly me.

ta-ta.

[pache100]

Larry Kenon. Billy Paultz. Louie Dampier. Swen Nater. These were the people who were playing when I first started following the Spurs. Don't be lecturing me about bandwagoning, rookie.

Yes, me too...George Gervin...Jimmy Si...George Karl...Johnny Moore...Mark Olberding...those were the days. I used to go to Spurs games in the old Hemisfair Arena when you could get a nose-bleed seat ticket for $5 and have a whole section to yourself. I used to take my sister to the games when the Spurs would be playing the Rockets...she went to Samuel Clemens High School, where Robert Reid graduated, and he was still with the Rockets (it was before he went nuts). She wouldn't sit with me because she rooted for the Rockets and I rooted for the Spurs. So, she would sit in one section and I'd sit in another section. It was just us and the recruits from Lackland up there in the top. Good times.

Post the quote when I said I didnt like the Spurs??? I respect Duncan for staying in school. He seems to own up to being a role model regardless of liking it (unlike Barkley). I dont have respect for the current Spurs front office, for the way they cheated the system. He sould have gone to a truly crappy team instead of one just tanking it to get a higher pick. And I will continue to voice it regardless if you like it or not. I didnt make anyone respond to this thread, but it sure is making my day go by faster so thanks!

Barkley had a good point, that parents should be role models not athletes. However, I don’t remember Barkley ever backing down for that statement but feel free to send me the link that states otherwise.

I don’t agree that these stars can say "I don’t wanna be a role model so I can act however I want". It comes with the $$$ you are paid. Don’t like it choose another profession.

[veronicamae]

I would also like to add an actual response to the original question posted:

NO, I would not rather the Spurs throw the season to get a top pick in the draft. That would be idiotic. There is no need for a top pick on the team right now. Tim, Tony, and Manu are packing a good punch right now, and if all three are having a good night, the Spurs can't be beat. Now that Barry, Finely, and even Udrih are stepping up in the shooting, and Nazr is tearing up the boards, I don't think the Spurs need to worry about getting some inexperienced rookie.

Sorry to do this again, but I never said the Suns are better. The Spurs have a better record and are defending champs. Atleast someone finally owns up to the tanking.

he has stated repeatedly on inside the nba that no matter what athletes think and what he said, they are role models because kids look up to them, and they have a responsibility as a role model because they are in the public eye. and btw, larry played for a few years with back problems just like david robinson did, then retired when the pain was too much. do you ever check facts?

[Leetonidas]

Well let’s be real 2 1/2. You are right though Duncan is a good player. No doubt. Doesn’t change the fact Spurs cheated the system to get him. But considering the average Spurs fan didn’t even know the Spurs existed till they won that first 1/2 of a championship you guys probably don’t know that. No charge for the history lesson.

And let me guess, you're some 12 year old who started watching Phoenix when Nash got there?

Anyway, your topic title is stupid. That's like saying "if the other teams in the league don't win, should they tank the season to get the #1?"

Please, STFU.

Amare does not own Duncan. If you really think Amare averaged 37 PPG in the WCF because he owned Tim, he didn't. Pop let Amare do what he wanted and stopped everyone else. So before you want to make comparisons about the Greatest PF of all time to a new upcoming talent, just remember...

Dude there was no significant back problem that was my point. So the pain was so bad that he only played 6 games one season, and then didnt miss any for two seasons????? David was fine, they just didn’t want to take the chance that they would actually win some games.

You hate the current front office because you claim the team tanked 10 years ago.

You do know it's not the same front office right?

I think that you hate the front office because they continually put together teams that are able to outplay the Suns at their own game, and their lame ass attempt to bring in a defensive player or two without teaching the team defense hasn't worked out so well against the Spurs.

Also, you are a fucking moron who demands proof without providing any of his own, and hopes that little nugget goes unnoticed in the midst of his juvenile insults. Yes, you posted some stats, but ignored the pertinent point of the other arguments.

And as for being a bandwagon fan - friend, I've been a Spurs fan since 1990, when George Gervin talked to my class about not doing drugs. I was there in the heartbreak playoff years. I saw the pain David Robinson was in the year they tanked, and you are a fucking asshole for your suggestions. I know who Sean Elliot was, and I still watch my tapes of the Memorial Day Miracle Shot when I'm having a bad day. I watched box scores via the internet my freshmen year of college, because I was in Houston, and the games weren't nationally aired.

I am not giving a jack off like you any more of my time.

Do you have a brain? They didn't want any help on Amare but Tim because they knew if they helped on defense, someone would be open, and Phoenix last year was a great shooting and passing team. So the way Pop saw it, let Amare get 40 points and let Marion get 5. Works for me.

History lesson the team was sold to new ownership in 1996. I think this decision goes a little higher then GM. NEver said he didnt hurt, but it was not an season ending injury. And hey dumbass I never asked for your time you chose to come in here. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FromWayDowntown]

Dude there was no significant back problem that was my point. So the pain was so bad that he only played 6 games one season, and then didnt miss any for two seasons????? David was fine, they just didn’t want to take the chance that they would actually win some games.

If YOU knew any basketball history, you'd know that in the 6th game he played in the 1996-97 season, in late December, David Robinson broke his foot against the Miami Heat. Whether his back was hurting him or not, he was going to miss at least a couple of months to heal that injury.

And that back problem was pretty minor. David never missed any playoff games because of on-going back problems after 1996-97. Really.

I guess your argument is that Pop and Robinson got together and said "Hey, let's pretend that you broke your foot. Then you can sit out the remainder of the season without people thinking we're lying about a back injury. Then we can have a record that's bad enough to be in the lottery, but not bad enough to ensure that we have the best chance at the #1 pick (particularly because the Celtics will have the best chance and will have additional help in the form of the lottery pick they acquired from Dallas). After all, if we don't get #1, we'll be cool with Keith Van Horn or Ron Mercer or Antonio Daniels or Tony Battie as our prize for having tanked a season."

They really sold you on that too with the on-going nature of the conspiracy. I mean, Sean Elliott was in deep cover to make that story fly, missing 50 games in 1997-98 and willingly staying off the playoff roster to ensure that nobody would immediately figure out what the Spurs had done. Chuck Person (who had been the 6th man in the two preceding seasons) sold it, too, by willingly sitting out the entire 1996-97 season.

If you're going to blast history, you might bother to actually learn what happened. Dipshit.

[Peter]

It aint fresh...People have been talking about it since 1997.

Right, nine years ago. You wouldn't happen to be from Boston, eh?



Yes the Spurs had a team in 1997. Freaking bandwagon fan.

Sounds like you, kiddo.




1996= 59-23 (win division)
1997= 20-62 (Hmmm same team wonder what happened, isnt Duncan available and boy the Admiral* is old and a choker)
1998= 56-26 (Wow they won the division again)

For those who have no idea who the admiral is, let me know and I will provide some background. And yes he was a basketball player.

Yeah, he suffered a major back injury while representing his country in the Olympics and then he broke a bone in his foot early in the 1996-97 season. You may want to learn a little before you start flaming and look like a moron.

Dude you guys need to get together on your history, I have one guy saying he had huge back problems, one saying a foot. I know lies are hard to keep straight.

[Leetonidas]

Ok cool...Duncan needs help to keep Amare under 30. Nice!

You're so fucking retarded. If Duncan got help, Amare would pass out to some like...uh, Nash or Jim Jackson (since Marion and Richardson were big pussies and couldn't do shit) and they would hit a 3 or throw the defense off. Gah, you're fucking stupid.

[Peter]

Man you guys dont know jack. They had the 3rd worst record in the league, just missing the worst by a couple games. LMAO :spin :spin :spin :spin

Stern didnt need to rig it, you guys had a great chance of getting it.

Missed a lot of time huh...Who like...

Dominique Wilkins 63 games
Vinny Del Negro 72
Avery Johnson 76
Vernon Maxwell 72
David Robinson 6 (after he "hurt" his back????)


You forgot Elliott, who missed well over half the season and was an all-star in the prior season. AJ and Del Negro were their starting backcourt. Elliott was the starting 3. Wilkins was slated to be the 6th man.



Yet some how he played EVERY SINGLE GAME the next season.

And he was never the same. The back injury plagued him for the remainder of his career, often causing him to miss games because it tightened up, most notably in the 2002 playoffs.

He did retire with two rings, two more than anyone's managed as a Phoenix Sun. That must suck.

[FromWayDowntown]

Dude you guys need to get together on your history, I have one guy saying he had huge back problems, one saying a foot. I know lies are hard to keep straight.

Actually, it was both. David missed the first 17 games of that season with a back problem incurred in the Olympics. He played the next 6 games, but broke his foot in the 6th of those games. He didn't play again that season because of a combination of the two.

Clearly, you aren't hearing that, because you have no interest in really fleshing out the story, since it doesn't jive with your nonsensical explanation for the way things are.

Yeah, the back injury was so minor that he got shots to relieve the pain and relax it often.

And it's "sad". Learn how to spell, genius.

[Spurminator]

It's too bad the balls didn't drop in San Antonio's favor in 1997... They only tanked to the third worst record in the league because they were hoping Keith Van Horn would fall to that spot.

Can you imagine Keith Van Horn playing side by side with David Robinson?

Oh what could have been...

Yeah, it was difficult to express sarcasm in my post. I wasn't saying that David never missed any games. I was mocking your mindless point by acknowledging that David missed many playoff games after 1996-97, and that those missed games were the result of a back problem.

Sarcasm, fool, sarcasm.

[Peter]

Furthermore, I fail to see how the Spurs managed to tank considering that the last thing the league would want is another top 5 player to end up in a small market, especially with a team that had an uncertain future. The league has their own docs who looked into DRob's injury and then there was the unconvenient fact (for you) that the team had insured DRob's contract so the insurers had their docs look at his injuries too.

Now do you want to continue to look like a moron?

Any franchise would have tanked that season safe in the knowledge that if it didn't get Tim Duncan, it could have Tony Battie as the big man of the future.

[Peter]

Let's also not forget that in the 1996-97 season the Spurs also had Charles Smith out for 51 games. I guess he was faking his bone on bone knee.

[Spurminator]

He's in a time warp, FWD. He can't be expected to know what happened from 1998-2003...

In a couple of years he'll come back to warn us of Duncan's inevitable departure to Orlando.

[Peter]

Any franchise would have tanked that season safe in the knowledge that if it didn't get Tim Duncan, it could have Tony Battie as the big man of the future.


They'd also go 5-5 in the last 10 games in order to secure the worst record in the league.

[FromWayDowntown]

Let's also not forget that in the 1996-97 season the Spurs also had Charles Smith out for 51 games. I guess he was faking his bone on bone knee.

Arguably, Charles Smith sitting out games did more to aid the Spurs in winning games than in tanking that season. I think Smith was genuinely hurt. Otherwise, Pop would have played him to further the conspiracy.

[Peter]

Jaime Feick was a bright spot in that season. That was how great things were going for the Spurs.

DA was who they wanted in that draft until they won the lottery.

[FromWayDowntown]

They'd also go 5-5 in the last 10 games in order to secure the worst record in the league.

Actually, they were 2-8 in the last 10 of that season. :depressed

That you can't vividly remember the Spurs' record in the last 10 games of a season that ended almost a decade ago is, I think, clear evidence that we're lying to cover up Pop's conspiracy and that Pop tanked that season. (note to Amare's Fluffer: that was sarcasm).

[Peter]

Perhaps it was the 10 before that. I recall them starting to win a few of their games towards the end of the season and being quite concerned about how that would hurt their lottery chances.

[Peter]

Anyone remember how the Spurs went into Houston early that season, at about full strength, IIRC, and smoked the Rockets? That was Barkley's 1st season with the Rockets and it was quite enjoyable to see the Spurs destroy the team that was supposed to win the West. Wilkins put up like 20 off the bench. I know for a long while I was hoping for health that season after that display.

I'm glad they tanked.

[Peter]

Thanks. Ah yes, the regular season, when DRob owned Hakeem.

[Peter]

Oh yeah, I forgot that oft-injured Carl Herrera was on the team too. That was his one season of health. He only missed 7 games. How many games did Caddy start that season? Yikes.

[T Park]

Stephen Howard.

The dude that looks like Shamar Moore from Criminal Minds.

Cadillac Anderson and Vernon Maxwell.

The Spurs were feeling 80's nostalgic that offseason.

Carl Herrera was Brent Barry before Brent Barry was Brent Barry.

I used to take my sister to the games when the Spurs would be playing the Rockets...she went to Samuel Clemens High School, where Robert Reid graduated, and he was still with the Rockets (it was before he went nuts).
Robert Reid went crazy? I never heard about that.

The bottom line of all of this is that Amare Owns Duncan makes me look well informed. Quite frankly I hope he sticks around.

[pache100]

Robert Reid went crazy? I never heard about that.

It was a religious thing. He could not play basketball any longer because they require you to wear shorts. That was just one thing. There was a ton of other stuff that was related to his religion. He couldn't play basketball any longer because people gambled on it. Stuff like that. He pulled out of it, but by that time, it was too late.

[Peter]

Obviously.

Oh well, to sum up, if the league had the slightest inkling that the Spurs were tanking in the 1996-97 season, they would've been Minnesotaed.

Man my job is sooooo freaking slow right now, and I had to be in early so just trying to keep myself awake. It really made the morning go by a lot faster. I do think the Spurs tanked the season on purpose, but I know its water under the bridge now. Nothing anyone can do about it. It was fun thanks guys. Hey no offense to the guy that looks like he is trolling for 12 year old, but dude might wanna think about a new pic. ;)

You must relish the fact that there's no law that prohibits you from being a fool.

[SA Gunslinger]

What is the Suns claim to fame? Paul Westphals timeout in game five of the Finals against Boston? Or maybe it's the Gar Heard shot that tied the game?

Big deal. They still lost and the Suns have more dues to pay.

The Spurs own Phoenix.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Well let’s be real 2 1/2. You are right though Duncan is a good player. No doubt. Doesn’t change the fact Spurs cheated the system to get him. But considering the average Spurs fan didn’t even know the Spurs existed till they won that first 1/2 of a championship you guys probably don’t know that. No charge for the history lesson.

Half th team was injured. How is that "cheating the system"?

Dude just cuz you are blind to the facts homer, doesnt make my arguement "untenable". There are many experts in the league that had the balls to speak out loud about it at the time.

Not too many players only play 6 games one season then play every game the following season if they have a true injury. I am not saying it was David, if management is telling him to take the rest of the season off "to make sure you are 100%" what is he gonna do. After all he is the employee. If you want to ignore the facts that is fine, go ahead I would expect nothing less from a homer. NEXT!

[Amare_Owns_Duncan]

OMG it's me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude READ...My point is David had plenty of time to come back. He went out what the 6th game of the season for a "bad back". They kept him out knowing it would give them a better chance at a #1 pick or a pick high enough to trade up to #1.

The lottery was designed to give weak teams a chance to compete, not a team that has finished first in their division the last 6 or so seasons the opportunity to hold their stars out for a higher pick.

LoL



Oh the excuses.

But for the sake of replying to your argument, we aren't the first team in history to hold out a star half way through the season when it's obvious the team won't make the playoffs even if they return. Why risk making the injury worse?

[FromWayDowntown]

I should know by now -- David Robinson's broken foot never really happened, it was a figment of San Antonio's imagination, and even if it was real, most NBA players would have come back within like a week of suffering that kind of an injury. Sean Elliott was perfectly healthy through all of 1996-97 and 1997-98, he just wasn't good enough to be on the playoff roster in 1998. Chuck Person really could have played, but just didn't, because it furthered the Spurs efforts to finish with the 4th worst record in basketball.

Blind to the facts, indeed: the facts should never get in the way of a good old sour grapes conspiracy.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Tanking a season doesn't mean you get the first pick.

It's still a "lottery". Finishing 4th worst, the odds you win the Lottery are pretty slim.

[FromWayDowntown]

I'm done after this, but the facts are the facts:

David went out in Game 24 of that season and he didn't sit out the rest of the season with a bad back, he sat out the rest of the season with a broken foot. Are you telling me that never happened?

They kept him out because it was more important to ensure that his foot was healthy than to run him back out to resuscitate a lost cause. I guess all of you conspiracy types wouldn't have ever noticed this if David Robinson had turned himself into Zydrunas Ilgauskas or Rik Smits by rushing back to play on a foot that hadn't completely healed.

The 1996-97 Spurs, without David Robinson and without Sean Elliott (both All-Stars in 1995-96 and both seriously injured for most of the 1996-97 season) weren't remotely good enough to compete in the West with Vinny Del Negro, Will Perdue, Greg Anderson, and Vernon Maxwell as major contributors.

[nkdlunch]

is it "feed the troll day"?

[Senator Joseph McCarthy]

Dont worry I dont jump on bandwagons, you guys have enough fans that way.

After HUAC and I have completely investigated this thread we have come to the conclusion that Amare Owns Duncan is in fact a communist. We came to this conclusion thusly:

1) Communism is based on the idea that everyone should get an equal amount of everything. AOD, upon discovering that he was full of shit and stupidity, felt the need to see to it that those of us here received some it as well. However, a simple use of the search function with the phrase "Mavs will win championship" would show that there really isn't a lack of deluded souls around here.

2) In communist countries such as the USSR and Cuba the government holds an absolute control on the written word, and thus can rewrite history. AOD clearly is used to using this technique to try to make his point, as well as to try to convince people that he is not a douchebag. Sadly he has become so entrenched in this mindset that he believes that simply because he writes something it makes it so. Poor AOD :depressed .

3) Commies will cling to their useless and ineffective ideas even in the face of overwhelming evidence of failure. His mindless contention that the Spurs "tanked" a season has been proven wrong time and time again, and yet he persists. Russia eventually caught on, so at this time we conclude that AOD is dumber than the average commie.

4) Commies spend to much time looking up gay porn on the internet that they can't be bothered to actually come up with good ideas in forums. We don't know this for a fact about most communists, but we're pretty sure it's the case with AOD, so we feel confident that it applies to all.

If someone can please deport this pinko you would have the Senate's deepest thanks.

Actually 3rd worse, that easily top the three. An easy backup plan is swap David "cant get it done on my own" Robinson and a high pick for Duncan.

The point is, the Spurs didn't tank the season to get Duncan.

Intentionally tanking a season only gives you a CHANCE of getting duncan, with the 3rd worse record most people expected the Celtics to get the #1 pick, not he spurs.

[5ToolMan]

Sorry I forgot you bandwagon fans don’t know any basketball history. See the year Duncan graduated the Spurs tanked the season so they could have a chance at the #1 pick. I should charge you guys for this basketball education. Just think you could amaze all your bandwagon friends.

The Spurs has FIVE of their top nine players go under the knife PLUS their top player DRob was in traction for several weeks and in then in a cast for several more weeks from two injuries only a fool would try to dispute.

I will give you the Spurs wisely did not return Drob to the court for the last two weeks as they had no shot at the playoffs. But that is hardly tanking.

Talk of Spurs tanking in 1997 only comes from bitter fools and idiots. Two remarks you clearly resemble.
