Time To Sack Up Spurs Fans

[timvp]

Spurs fans have lived an easy life. It's time to sack up. This is how Championships are won. It's not an easy road. You hit bumps along the way. There's a ghost whistle here or a no call there but it all evens out in the end.

Spurs are down 2-1. This series has just begun. This is the playoffs. Just because the Spurs have never trailed at this point during a Championship run, don't get spoiled. Teams like the Pistons and the Lakers have fought back from even bigger holes. It's the Spurs turn to show what they are made out of.

If the Spurs can't come back from a 2-1 deficit versus the pansy ass Mavericks, they weren't going to do anything against the Pistons. This is a great test. Spurs fans just need to sack up and realize that this is how the playoffs go sometimes.

Win Game 4 and the Spurs are back in control of the series. Late in the game, the Spurs were playing quite well. If it weren't for the Mavs getting to the line so much, Spurs easily pull away.

But no excuses. Spurs fans have lived a sheltered ass life. This is the smallest market in the league and we've seen some amazing luck throughout the years. Buying George Gervin, lucking out on David Robinsin, lucking out on Tim Duncan, having Sean Elliott defy gravity on the sidelines, having Rasheed leave Horry wide open and so on.

Now the Spurs have to show what they are made out of. True basketball with no help from anyone else. Backs to the wall. The season on the line. The Spurs have to stare adversity in the eye and not blink.

Do the Spurs have it?

Believe.

[pking]

pansy ass mavs.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

as long as pop plays small ball and we play in dallas, spurs are in good shape

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I believe and I'm the most pessimistic pos on here!

we outscored the mavs every quarter of game 3 except for the first

We're getting game 4

book it

[Leetonidas]

If Tim hadn't fouled out, we win this.

Tim's going for 40+ the next game. Bank it. Manu will have 30.

[CharlieMac]

**grabs crotch**

[timvp]

Three NBA Championships.

Three.

Tres.

Down 2-1 to the Mavs ain't nothing.

Shiiiyiit.

[Trainwreck2100]

****insert jerkass comment from jerkass mavs fan.******

[T Park]

Spurs are taking game 4, EASILY.


In that 4th quarter the Spurs figured out the Mavericks IMO.

[Deb]

pansy ass mavs.
If the shoe fits, wear it :lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

small ball baby

[samikeyp]

Amen. Time to see if they have the heart of a champion.

[kskonn]

Damn Good post!!!!!!

Believe!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

Wasn't Sack last series? Should it be Time to Dial Up?

[T Park]

Three NBA Championships.

Three.

Tres.

Down 2-1 to the Mavs ain't nothing.

Shiiiyiit.

Losing game 6 in the Finals last year was more devastating than this.

Fuck this.

Its the fucking Mavericks.

You keep them off the damn line in the 4th, the Spurs win this by 8.


:flipoff haters

[Kori Ellis]

LJ and I were talking about this on the way home .. and he's right. If the Spurs can't muster up some nuts to take this series from the Mavs, then they were going to get buried by the Pistons in the Finals anyway. So it's time to sack up.

[tetasfromtejas]

Never underestimate the heart of a champion.

To be honest I expected the Mavs to win this game. They have nothing to be proud of though. It was an empty win but regardless a win.

Spurs will win in SIX!!!!!! I will not falter on my team

[Trainwreck2100]

Wasn't Sack last series? Should it be Time to Dial Up?

We dont need Derek Dial.

[A-Train]

I guess I've lived long enough to see the Mavs actually be able to go up on the Spurs in a playoff series, albeit temporarily.

You're right, 3 titles is pretty damn comforting.

[angel_luv]

The Spurs proved tonight that they are fighters and I'm 100% with them.

[spurs=bling]

If Tim hadn't fouled out, we win this.

Tim's going for 40+ the next game. Bank it. Manu will have 30.
i think so too. he was only 5 pts away from 40, and Manu was 6pts away from 30. we can do this. one thing people should know is to never put the spurs to the side. :fro

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Good or bad calls, we've gone all of the way 3 times before.

I'm still pumped. I'm glad the SPURS are our team!

I BELIVE!!

[samikeyp]

You keep them off the damn line in the 4th, the Spurs win this by 8.

Hell...hit 2 more FT's in the game...Spurs win by 1.


Believe.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

LJ and I were talking about this on the way home .. and he's right.

[Buddy Holly]

Fuck yeah.

Soldier up baby!

Let's fucking do this!

"Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion."

[Melmart1]

THIS WIN IS FOOL'S GOLD FOR THE MAVS AND ESPECIALLY THEIR FANS

Spurs will win this thing.

[1Parker1]

Down 2-1 is nothing when you consider the fact that you have Tim Duncan playing monster ball: 35 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks. All we need is for the rest of the team to catch up. Looked like Manu was regaining form in the third. Now all we need is Parker, Barry, NVE and Finley to step it up.

You can never discount the Spurs when you have Tim Duncan playing the way he has been.

[Deb]

I'm all in. And, I feel a lot better after the way the Spurs played the second half. We can do this.

[DubMcDub]

Ginobili's gonna go for 30?

Do you remember how he played for a week+ last time he had a critical mistake at the end of a game?

[Mavs_man_41]

pansy ass mavs.

it doesnt matter what you say about the mavs they got to the line 50 times by taking it to the rim like men. if i had to pick the most pansy team in the league it would have to be the spurs with all the whining and flopping they do every single game.

pansyass is a relative term.

The Mavs are pansyass compared to the Pistons. It wasn't meant to be that offensive to Mavs fans. :lol

[SA210]

Never underestimate the whistle in a ref's mouth.
:lmao Salvatore vs Spurs in game 4

Let's do this! :fro

[Mavs_man_41]

sorry but the spurs have gotten more calls over the past several years than any team in the league. You spurs fans are so used to having an advantage that you are delusional.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Small Ball In Game 4 Is A Valid Suggestion

[Mavs_man_41]

SA210, do you ever post anything besides complaints about the officiating? I'm beginning to think you are a troll.

[samikeyp]

You spurs fans are so used to having an advantage that you are delusional.

Nice generalization...too bad its a lie.



sorry but the spurs have gotten more calls over the past several years than any team in the league

Proof, please.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Small Ball In Game 4 Is A Valid Suggestion

[Kori Ellis]

This thread isn't for bitching about the refs. You guys have started about 900 other threads for that, which I've been merging for the last hour. Please keep your ref comments over there.

[Trainwreck2100]

Ginobili's gonna go for 30?

Do you remember how he played for a week+ last time he had a critical mistake at the end of a game?

obviously you don't

[Mavs_man_41]

how am i supposed to prove that with hard evidence? Its common knowledge.

[samikeyp]

so then...its an opinion..not a fact.

[angel_luv]

This is for my Monday pep rally but it fits here too. :D


It reads:
Sometimes one has to face the world unblinking and keep a steady gaze.

Yes, its the opinion of most people who closely follow the NBA, just not most spurs fans.

[Trainwreck2100]

[samikeyp]

again...proof please.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

small ball
:smokin

[Mavs_man_41]

im not gonna find proof that the spurs get more calls than most teams on a spurs forum...if you want proof ask someone who isnt a spurs or mavs fan.

[Budkin]

Awesome post timvp! I still believe, that's for damn sure!

[samikeyp]

so then...its your opinion. That's cool. You are entitled and I respect that. I will agree on this with you....blaming the refs is the cowards way out.

[DubMcDub]

obviously you don't

I'm sorry, what were you saying? I didn't hear you because I was perusing through the 10+ threads on THIS FORUM calling out Manu for playing terribly game after game because his Game 3 Sacramento turnover was affecting him mentally.

But no, you're right. I'm making it up. :rolleyes

[Mavs_man_41]

I agree, blaming the refs is the cowards way out and thats my point.

[Trainwreck2100]

Go look up Sacto game 5 and Game 6.

[samikeyp]

I agree, blaming the refs is the cowards way out and thats my point.

Cool.

I get the impression though, you seem to think all Spurs fans think that way. I imagine you feel its just a vocal minority.

[jman3000]

To borrow a quote from a man know as SJax:

The Spurs make love to pressure....













and they fuck adversity hard


Spurs in 6

[Mavs_man_41]

yea, ever since ive been coming to this website 50% of the posts are complaints about the officiating.....Its good to see that true NBA fans dont all act this way.

[DubMcDub]

Go look up Sacto game 5 and Game 6.

I really don't understand your point.

I didn't say Manu never had a good game after that. I know he did play well, especially in game 5.

That doesn't change the fact that he was called out for poor performances in Game 4, Game 1 and 2 of the Mavs series by numerous people on this board. It also doesn't change the fact that he himself has said that the turnover was STILL bothering him.

If Manu was still letting that TO bother him come Mavs series, are you saying you don't think there's a reasonable chance that the TO tonight is going to bother him at some point down the road, possibly Monday?

I'm not saying it's a given. I'm saying it's shortsighted to expect him to go for 30.

[A-Train]

Well, the Spurs showed they can play whatever game the Mavs want to play, provided the refs will let Duncan stay on the floor and not bail out Dirklutz.

[Mavs_man_41]

omg a-train enough about the refs, you sound like a broken record.

[A-Train]

yea, ever since ive been coming to this website 50% of the posts are complaints about the officiating.....Its good to see that true NBA fans dont all act this way.

You roll in running your mouth after they win? What a weak little bitch.

[DubMcDub]

Sour grapes much?

[Kori Ellis]

Amen.

I guess people can't fucking read.

I said STOP BITCHING ABOUT THE REFS IN THIS THREAD.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

:smokin

[CosmicCowboy]

Don't worry Mavs fans.

Your excuse this year will be Dirks ankle. That was a good roll and that bitch is gonna hurt tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. And the next week.

That being said, I still don't get small ball. TD fouling out at the end of the fourth because he is the only defender in the paint makes no sense to me but I have to trust that Pop knows what he is doing.

[boutons_]

but you Mavs fuckers say the Spurs have won because of the refs in the past, but the Spurs can't lose because of the refs. can't have it both ways, assholes.

this place is stunk up with Mavs assholes showing up only after a win.

[Mavs_man_41]

You roll in running your mouth after they win? What a weak little bitch.
not running my mouth just stating the fact that ignorant people like you complain too much about the refs. True Spurs and Mavs fans dont make excuses.

[samikeyp]

There were Mavs fans blaming the refs after game 1..not all but some. Just like some Spurs fans are blaming the refs for Games 2 and 3...not all but some. All teams have that. It sucks but its true. If you are a true fan of the game and you understand it...you don't blame anyone but your team for their performance.

[Mavs_man_41]

but you Mavs fuckers say the Spurs have won because of the refs in the past, but the Spurs can't lose because of the refs. can't have it both ways, assholes.

this place is stunk up with Mavs assholes showing up only after a win.
I'm only saying that some people shouldnt be complaining so much about the officiating. If anything the spurs might have a small advantage because of their past success, but thats how it goes when youre a winner.

[Trainwreck2100]

I really don't understand your point.

I didn't say Manu never had a good game after that. I know he did play well, especially in game 5.

^it's funny you say all that when all you said was
Ginobili's gonna go for 30?


Do you remember how he played for a week+ last time he had a critical mistake at the end of a game?

So I'm saying on game 5 and 6 i.e. one week+ he played quite well.

[DubMcDub]

There were Mavs fans blaming the refs after game 1..not all but some. Just like some Spurs fans are blaming the refs for Games 2 and 3...not all but some. All teams have that. It sucks but its true. If you are a true fan of the game and you understand it...you don't blame anyone but your team for their performance.

A display of intelligence and reason. How novel.

I commend those of you who, like this guy (girl?), understand that blaming the refs serves absolutely no purpose.

Well if you were here after game one, instead of waiting to be up 2-1, you would have seen some mavs fans complainng about the refs.

[samikeyp]

Im a guy...if not...I am a lesbian and my marriage is illegal. :lol

(Its not me in the avatar!) :)

[CosmicCowboy]

can't blame the refs. Mavs were agressive and got the calls. 4 more games.

[DubMcDub]

^it's funny you say all that when all you said was
Ginobili's gonna go for 30?



So I'm saying on game 5 and 6 i.e. one week+ he played quite well.

He played horribly in game 4, and in the first couple games of the Mavs series.

The latter 2 may have been a bit farther than a week from SAC game 4. I didn't look up the dates. If that's the case, I apologize for saying a week+ as I should have extended the time period a bit.

The bottom line is, 3 out of the 5 games since game 3 SAC he has played poorly. And the one he probably played the most poorly in was game 4 SAC, which, correlated to this series, would mean it is reasonable to expect that he may have a poor game Monday.

[DubMcDub]

Im a guy...if not...I am a lesbian and my marriage is illegal. :lol

(Its not me in the avatar!) :)

I'm never sure here. I feel like some of the avatars are people's gfs/wives, but some others are the posters themselves?
:smokin

[Shank]

Well, the Spurs showed they can play whatever game the Mavs want to play, provided the refs will let Duncan stay on the floor and not bail out Dirklutz.

Or did they shoot their wad and throw everything they had at the Mavericks tonight?

I appreciate your good sense of humor and willingness to say some reasonable and nice things, even after your team loses a heartbreaker.

I love the game but that's all it is--a game. I'm glad not everybody out there takes it so seriously all the time.

[samikeyp]

Thank you...I agree, as a Spurs fan...its sucks that they lost but the sun will still come up tomorrow and its only Game 3...if the Spurs were down 0-3 I could maybe understand the panic but damn.

[charmie21]

I am happy that God lead me to the right person to support, Timmy. And because of Timmy, I've come to love every single person who belongs to this team also. I am proud to be a Spurs fan. I'll believe in this team through thick and thin, until the very end. No one can take that away from me. Ever.

[dn0]

timvp thanks for posting this, it couldn't be any more realistic.
It's Time To Sack Up.

[boutons_]

The Spurs, not the fans, are the ones that need to sack up.

Nazr needs to go on inactive list before he does any more harm. Get that klutzy motherfucker out of a Spurs uniform, and suit up Sean. Nazr is becoming a negative legend, and towering memorial to gawdawful uselessness, in his own time.

Rasho needs to help Tim with paint defense, and not hang around too close on offense, so Tim can operate, and be ready to take passes from Tim.

[efrem1]

Time for a visit from the No limit army commander. Time to mount up and joust buzzard bait!!!!

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

The Spurs, not the fans, are the ones that need to sack up.

Rasho needs to help Tim with paint defense, and not hang around too close on offense, so Tim can operate, and be ready to take passes from Tim.

'Nuff said.

[themvp]

Lets just show them the championship basketball.

Lets give them a lesson.

Lets outscore them.

Lets be the Spurs.

Believe

[J.T.]

Spurs fought hard tonight and lost a close one. That deflection by Harris was big. Why didn't Manu just let it go out of bounds... but no excuses. A loss is a loss. Bounce back in the next game and bring it home squared with HCA back in our hands.

Believe.

[bonesinaz]

Spurs came back from -13 and almost won last night's game. Then the refs took TD out and the Spurs still almost had the W.

This team is right there. They still have fight in them. Pop needs to get TD a little help in the paint and they take game 4.

[fonzy16]

Lets go spurs. I believe!

[Fonzie]

The Spurs need to keep cool and just win the next one.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I said this in a thread straight after the game:

"Who's with me?

We lost today's game on a string of bad calls down the stretch, bad luck on a couple of plays and with no TD in at the end. It hurts, but we can beat these guys and we showed that we can do that, with a little bit of luck on our side.

What we do about Harris I don't know.

Anyway, Game 4 is all about a VERY MAD Tim Duncan, a Manu ready to atone for something he will blame himself for (but was not his fault), and a TP yet to show up in the series.

The season is on the line, and WE WILL WIN.

To steal timvp's immortal rallying cry, BELIEVE. I know I do."

I'd like to add that I'd prefer to have the 2003 Spurs playing Dallas (Speedy to help run after Harris, Jax to make Howard play - remember, Jax played the best he ever has for us - KWill to beef up the paint), but as has been said, if this group doesn't have the ticker, may as well find out now as later.

Now let's do this thing.

[JoeChalupa]

You cannot put yourself in a "catch-up" position and then expect the calls to go your way. It was a tough loss. Do it right next time.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Believe.

[carina_gino20]

we really need support from the bench. the Big Three have been fine and Duncan has been a monster out there.

Does it really matter what the refs do? after all you was behind by 13 at one point and you lost game 2 by 20 something points. face the facts your not the 99 spurs anymore and move on already. Stop sounding like Mav fans for the last 5 years. You have become the very thing you used to hate about Maverick fans,
