San Antonio: Where making excuses happens

[bonzi_isaspurskiller]

Most bi-polar fans in the NBA by far. Against the Hornets, you sucked games 1 and 2 because timmmmmay was "ill" then when you guys are embarrassed in games 1 and 2 in LA it was because manu was magically injured. There were threads saying he sucks and is a liability. He blows up for a game, and holy shit he is the lord jesus christ in a Spurs jersey. I have never seen so many sickening "fans" in the NBA in my life. I just wonder how many excuses will be sure to show up after you guys lose the next two games. That should be fun.

Oh, and thank Bonzi for his usual general boneheaded play and poor shot selection. They really "killed" the Spurs against the Hornets. :lmao

Can ANY spurs fans who have posted in this thread deny or discredit anything in the original post?

[Commissioner Stern]

Let me get this straight.

The OP criticizes the fanbase because of its propensity to bitch, whine, moan and offer excuses for every loss. He points out that the fanbase is never one to admit that the team got worked or outplayed. It's always because of some form of injury. Woe is me. One and half days later, that same "injured" player blows up and scores 30. All of a sudden, he's god in a sperm jersey.

And you respond by making fun of Bonzi Wells because it's part of the guy's moniker?

That's effin' brilliant.

[baseline bum]

WTF is with Sacramento fans and their intense craving for Laker dick again? I guess LA fucked them until they loved them or something back from '00 to '02.

They can't. Basically what they're saying is "Yeah, you're right. We're a bunch of whiny, excuse making beeatches. But Sacto and Bonzi suck."

Something like that.

Don't try to backpeddle now. It was never "oh, timmmy is playing so poorly" , it was more like "if timmy was healthy" or "we should have won if timmmy wasn't ill" type of bullshit. Then everybody pulled the Manu is injuired card when he was a non factor in the first two games and everyone was ready to throw him under the bus after the huge role he played in the second round. Most dispicable fans fucking ever. When the Spurs lose in a couple games I hope at least a couple dozen of you jump off some bridges.

How 'bout Kings fans complaining about the officiationg in game 6 of the 2002 WCF ?

Fucking whiners, coming up with dumb excuses

[Commissioner Stern]

What else would we argue? When players suck fans talk about how much they suck. When they play well fans talk about how well they played. What exactly was so ground breaking about his analysis?

Nothing. Except for the reading comprehension.

The majority did not talk about how Timmay or Ginoblee "sucked" or how the team was outplayed by NOH or the Lakers. They talk about how they're injured. If it wasn't for the injury... blah. Then a day and a half later, Gino drops 30. He's Christ in a sperm jersey.

Here's my analysis.

Gino was outplayed in games 1 and 2. Sasha is a pest and Gino had a hard time getting open looks. Without those open looks, Gino hesitated and put up bad shots. In Game 3, Phil Jackson left Radmanovic on Gino for too long. By the time Sasha got in the game, Gino had his confidence back that he was actually willing to put up shots w/ no hesitation and w/ Sasha inside his jersey. Odom took his usual 2nd game mind farts, and thought "being aggressive" meant going one-on-one. Coupled with the fact that Gasol played soft, because well, he is Gasoft. Always was and always will be. Lakers were toast.

If that was a Sperms fan analysis, it would go like this:

Lakers lost by 19 because Kobe's pinky is really starting to bother him. Gasol didn't get enough tape on those ankles. Odom sucks. They should trade him. What's that? Kobe said the pinky isn't really bothering him? Oh. He's such a warrior.

[Commissioner Stern]

If a player has an injury and plays poorly, fans here talk about how he's injured and is playing poorly. It's shameful...i know :rolleyes

No. It's not shameful. It's fandom.

I tend to think that the Lakers loss was because the Sperms played well. A novel concept for Sperm fan, I know. Yes, I agree w/ the pundits that say the Lakers didn't match the sperm intensity. But this is the WCF. Get real. Timmay was a monster w/ the 20/20.

No excuses about injuries, referees, a David Stern conspiracy, a Lakers/Celtics preference, etc.

The Sperms played well and the Lakers blew.

But that's just me.

I wouldn't know...i'm not patrolling a lakerboard giving them my analysis or trying to interpret theirs.

[DazedAndConfused]

Sperm fans will NEVER admit their team got outplayed. I've never seen it on this forum, ever. It's always because Duncan had a tummy ache, Ginobli's ankle was injured, Parker was ankle was hurt, or that the team was fatigued. They LOVE to throw out the fatigue card when they get blown the fuck out, it's pretty standard fare around here.

But who gives a shit? The Lakers need to win Game 4 and close this goddamn series out in 5. Can't let these cockroaches survive.

[ChumpDumper]

I blamed the refs in game 3.

[DazedAndConfused]

I'm fat and ugly and girls have rejected me my whole life. I was offended by Charles Barkley's comment that everyone in SA is fat because I am fat.

Yea, because sleeping on a plane, having merely a day of rest between an emotionally draining series that went seven games and the start of this series, having a bad ankle, and tearing his nail on his shooting hand had NOTHING at all to do with it.

Vujachick has nowhere near the drive, skill, or toughness that Ginobili has. Ginobili was Ginobili last night because he wanted to be, and there's no concievable reason to believe Vujachick could stop him when he has that attitude.

The only guy on the Lakers that could really bother Ginobili is Kobe, but that would undoubtedly have an effect on his own offense, so it's risky to put him on Manu

Yes I do and as long as people are ignorant enough to keep lumping all Spurs fans as being of one mindset. There are many more like me here. Sadly, there are people here who will not give credit to an opponent at anytime. People tend to focus on them more.

They don't....they are here for the sole purpose of trolling and causing problems.

To be fair, there have been some good LA fans here who actually want to talk basketball.

Bonzi has a point. Don't fucking deny all of the lame excuses, accusations, and bitching a lot of you "Spurs fans" do after a loss.....especially after game 1 vs Lakers.

Do I need to pull up some thread links?

Good excuses for Game 1 when you guys were up by 20 and laid an egg in the 3rd and 4th qtr. What happened in Game 2? There was no flying involved there.

And what happened in Game 3 after another flight home w/ only one day in between?

I agree w/ you that Sasha shouldn't be able to shut down Man-u. But he can certainly do a better job than Radmanovic. And don't shortchange Vujacic. That fucker's a pest.

And yeah, I noticed Kobe on Manu at the end of the game when the Lakers tried to come back. Too little too late.

[td4mvp21]

Sperm fans will NEVER admit their team got outplayed. I've never seen it on this forum, ever.
Then you don't read it enough. Plenty of us give the other team credit. A lot of us don't. As a fan, you're always going to talk about what your team did wrong or what went wrong for your team rather than what the other team did. Lakers fans are no better.


It's always because Duncan had a tummy ache, Ginobli's ankle was injured, Parker was ankle was hurt, or that the team was fatigued. They LOVE to throw out the fatigue card when they get blown the fuck out, it's pretty standard fare around here.
I'm sure Lakers fans never make excuses. Actually, they weren't even around the last three fucking years to make any because half of them weren't even watching the Lakers.


But who gives a shit?
Apparently you do? You're always ranting about something on here.

I don't think we've been introduced.

But I don't differentiate between one sperm fan and another. I respond to the responses. The fact that posters interjecting themselves into a thread is inherent in a forum means you have to understand when you get lumped in with all other Sperm fans, despite how much you think of them as tools.

This shit cracks me up. Angry, jealous, and bitter is no way to go through life boys. I'm not even a big Spurs fan but at least I can recognize why fans would come up with excuses..........IT'S BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS FUCKING WIN!!!!!!! You'd be confused too and try to look for answers if your team won 4 titles in the past 8 years.


Just acknowledge like I have done that the Spurs are a far better NBA team compared to whatever team you root for and ride the Tim Duncan wave out until he retires because until then, your team sucks and the Spurs are better.

[underdawg]

Gino was outplayed in games 1 and 2.

So, Manu really wasn't hurt? That's great news! He was just outplayed and now he's figured out how not to be outplayed - outstanding. We should win the series easily now.

[manufor3]

Don't try to backpeddle now. It was never "oh, timmmy is playing so poorly" , it was more like "if timmy was healthy" or "we should have won if timmmy wasn't ill" type of bullshit. Then everybody pulled the Manu is injuired card when he was a non factor in the first two games and everyone was ready to throw him under the bus after the huge role he played in the second round. Most dispicable fans fucking ever. When the Spurs lose in a couple games I hope at least a couple dozen of you jump off some bridges.

um he was wearing a smaller form of a splint cuz part of his fingernail got RIPPED OFF. try ripping of your fingernail then playing against a good fakers team

[Commissioner Stern]

so you admit its rigged, and if the Lakers win it won't be because they are great, but because you wanted them to.

Look. When I negotiated that contract w/ NBC to televise the games, we got lucky and Jordan was in his prime. The ratings started sagging when he was in his decline and if it wasn't for the Lakers/Sacramento rivalry, NBC would have lost revenue on the game.

There's a reason that since the Sperms have been winning a few titles, the league is no longer on Network television as they used to. Outside of San Antonio, no one really cares if the Sperms win or lose. I had to enter into contracts w/ TNT and ESPN in order to get the games nationally televised. I want the league back on national broadcast TV. They used to be on in primetime.

On the other hand, people care about the Lakers. Half of the country cares that they win, and the other half would want nothing more than for them to lose. So people watch.

I understand that the Lakers are a popular team and it's just for the good of the league for the Lakers to keep advancing. I hope you understand.

To run out of rational arguments i would have to used them at some point in the first place...and I wouldn't describe a single one of my arguments as "rational". It's difficult to find a reason for rational arguments when you're faced with comments by a lakers fan on a spurs board claiming to be the commissioner of the NBA.

[Commissioner Stern]

Man, these Laker trolls sure do have an affection for sperm.

I wonder which ones the bear and which ones the twig?

I tried to institute a league wide policy of having the San Antonio team be referred to as the Spurts. But that caused wide-spread confusion with the Utah team, The Jizz. So instead, many of the league officials now just refer to the Spurts as the Sperms.

I know. It's a disgusting league I run.

What do you think about International play? How many teams would be a good start? And what of the traveling distances, you've incorrectly stated in recent interviews that the distance between Boston and LA is the same as the distance from Boston to Italy. How would you go about convincing the player's union that this much traveling won't cause more wear and tear throughout the season?

Should you concentrate more on building the product here at home before trying to expand overseas?

[PlayoffEx-static]

When the Spurs lose in a couple games I hope at least a couple dozen of you jump off some bridges.

We kind of hope you'll do it right now.

[cobbler]

We don't care.


Hmmmmm.... on that note, let me give you a quote from someone...


:lmao

You are so disgusted by (fill in teamfan) you read every word they post!

[SpursDynasty]

Most bi-polar fans in the NBA by far. Against the Hornets, you sucked games 1 and 2 because timmmmmay was "ill" then when you guys are embarrassed in games 1 and 2 in LA it was because manu was magically injured. There were threads saying he sucks and is a liability. He blows up for a game, and holy shit he is the lord jesus christ in a Spurs jersey. I have never seen so many sickening "fans" in the NBA in my life. I just wonder how many excuses will be sure to show up after you guys lose the next two games. That should be fun.

As a Spurs fan I'm ashamed to say you're right. Except I'm not like that. I didn't take the NOH losses seriously, nor the two Laker losses. In the playoffs it's hit or miss....doesn't necessarily mean one team is better than the other. With New Orleans, they just got their shots to go down. The same with the Lakers. It's all about momentum. They beat us by 30 points, are supposedly better, yet we come back to give them their worst loss of the 2008 playoffs. When Manu gets going there's nothing anyone can do. We have three stars. They have one. Kobe is hit or miss. Like I said, the Lakers just got their shots to go down. We beat a tough Phoenix team and a tough New Orleans team. This LA team is cake if want it to be.

[cobbler]

Yea, because sleeping on a plane, having merely a day of rest between an emotionally draining series that went seven games and the start of this series, having a bad ankle, and tearing his nail on his shooting hand had NOTHING at all to do with it.

Sounds like a lot of excuses to me. Unlike you so called fans, I give credit to Manu for manning up and saying it had nothing to do with any of those whiny excuses and that he just stunk it up.



Vujachick has nowhere near the drive, skill, or toughness that Ginobili has. Ginobili was Ginobili last night because he wanted to be, and there's no concievable reason to believe Vujachick could stop him when he has that attitude.


So your saying Manu didnt want to be Manu in games one and two? Manu didnt play well, Sasha did a good job. Why can't you give any credit where its due. Of course Manu is a better player. He's an all star. Sasha is a 2nd stringer. It's not rocket science. I certainly have no problems giving props to Manu for his game 3 performance. But im a realist and dont turn to excuses when im outdone. Your coach and team dont either. Just you ignorant fans do that.

[Brutalis]

Our guys are banged up and some fans use that as medicine to explain losses to even a degree of his point spread wouldn't have covered the amount lost by even. So it doesn't matter. It's mostly just bickering by Spur fan to other Spurs fan.

You have to understand everyone insults us as if being old is bad. It's not. We are wise and experienced, know how to respond to especially young teams. You have to understand we are older, and we are banged up. Spufan would love for our team to be off for 3 days. Given the anticipation would be much to bear we do need it however I do not feel that will limit us or be enough reason to lose at this point further.

[Commissioner Stern]

With the proliferation of international players into the league, it's an inevitable progression for the league to expand world-wide. I agree that much work needs to be done by my office locally. But ultimately, it is our intent to have international teams compete in the play-offs.

The projected format would not necessarily be to have those teams participate in the regular season. If at all, there may be 2 or 4 games that the American teams would play overseas. But the International teams would have their own conference, much like the Western and Eastern Conference, where the majority of their game would be played. They will have their own play-off bracket and it will be the integration of that conference into our current play-off format that will be our biggest challenge.

But there is no question that the audience is there.

This shit cracks me up. Angry, jealous, and bitter is no way to go through life boys. I'm not even a big Spurs fan but at least I can recognize why fans would come up with excuses..........IT'S BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS FUCKING WIN!!!!!!! You'd be confused too and try to look for answers if your team won 4 titles in the past 8 years.


Just acknowledge like I have done that the Spurs are a far better NBA team compared to whatever team you root for and ride the Tim Duncan wave out until he retires because until then, your team sucks and the Spurs are better.

God knows it helped for me.

Im pretty sure the lakers have won 3 in those 8 years and 7 out of the 10 or 11 series the lakers have played the spurs. Kinda throws that logic of yours out the window.:sleep

Manu plays for the Spurs. HE should try to disguise his bad play caused in part by injury and fatigue. If he doesn't, it gives the opposition a pyschological adantage.

Discounting the fact that he is injured is LAME. Injuries are real - they do happen and they do usually have an effect on the way players can play games. But, players aren't going to say it, and rightly so.

With that said, Vujachick did a god job against Manu, but Manu even said it himself after game 2: He wasn't as aggressive as he usually is - he wasn't Manu.

Finally, some credible comments! Injuries are part of the game. It's obvious Manu is hurt. But that changes nothing. You play with what you have at the moment. I would like Manu to be 100%. I would like Ariza 100% and Bynum back too. They aren't. If you guys win, I will be back here and tip my hat to your team and your fans for a job well done. I will not use injuries, refs, league bias etc. as an excuse. Somehow, if we should win and I came here, I think I would hear a lot more whining and excuses than I would acknowledgment for being the better team.

I consider it a privilege and my duty to take the pulse of the fan base, especially in small town markets where it is widely accepted and acknowledged that the NBA is the only game in town. Never let it be said that the league did nothing to put San Antonio on the map of the American psyche. It will be a melancholy day when we play our last WCF game for quite a while in San Antonio this coming Tuesday.

When I facilitated the trade that brought Pau Gasol to the Lakers, I envisioned a team w/ the dominant front court of Gasol, Bynum and Odom, and the greatest player initiating the action from the perimeter. But I envisioned that team as the team of tomorrow. Never did I expect them to compete immediately. Nevertheless, here we are and it is w/ sentimental affection that I must eventually bid adieu to the Sperms. Thusly, I find myself with tremendous gratitude and obligation to be among the fan base here.

Just like Ariza and Bynum not being there for you has an impact.

And, I can't believe Lakers fans cry and cry about not gatting enough credit when half of them and Phil Jackson won't give the Spurs credit for winning the 99 championship - fair and square - for some inexlplicable reason.

Yeah yeah yeah, and if the Lakers were to lose you could go on any Lakers board and find the exact same bitching and moaning about refs, injuries, etc. The only difference is do Spurs fans even care to go on a Laker board and talk about it? Probably not.

[E20]

Spurs fans, not the Spurs themselves. The Spurs players are the last ones to blame other things. Did you read the article/post game comments that Manu made? They were along the lines that he was healthy and he just played bad, he owned up and proved himself last night. Also Tim never even mentioned his flu or used it as an excuse, however some Spur fans do makes those excuses, but WTF cares?

Losers make excuses. It's as simple as that. My fellow laker fans that use excuses and cannot acknowledge being beaten are just as big of losers as you spur fans who do the same.

What type of fan are you? A man or whiner? As I said, well see how it plays out.

It seems like this board is a haven for trolls of a lot of teams. Ironically, though, its probably one of the top boards for intelligent fans of other teams as well. Once this series is over, the trolls will eventually disappear as quickly as they came, but there will be a handful or more that will stay on because they KNOW its one of the best message boards on the internet for fans of ALL teams.

[Jess]

What do you expect from a dedicated fanbase? And don't give me the real fan vs. bandwagoner BS. We love our Spurs, it's why we're all here except for the trolls who are just assholes.

People here live and die with Spurs wins and losses. And we're used to winning. For me personally a Spurs loss feels like a punch in the gut, especially when they just roll over and die for the other team. See Game 4 @ Phoenix; Games 1, 2, and 5 @ NO; Games 1 and 2 @ LA (just realized that's ALL of their postseason losses). It doesn't feel this way because my self-worth is somehow tied to the success of a frickin' sports team. It feels this way because I know how this team is capable of playing.

I'm sure others here feel the same frustration. I can't fault them for coping with it in their own way, whether's its making excuses or making "1. win at a time" posts (:rollin). This is the place to do it.

In short, Spurs forum. STFU or GTFO. Thanks.

Edit - And Manu is hurt. For anyone who watched Manu carry the Spurs earlier this season it's obvious. He's relying more on his 3 pt. shot and his craftiness in these playoffs.

Look. When I negotiated that contract w/ NBC to televise the games, we got lucky and Jordan was in his prime. The ratings started sagging when he was in his decline and if it wasn't for the Lakers/Sacramento rivalry, NBC would have lost revenue on the game.

There's a reason that since the Sperms have been winning a few titles, the league is no longer on Network television as they used to. Outside of San Antonio, no one really cares if the Sperms win or lose. I had to enter into contracts w/ TNT and ESPN in order to get the games nationally televised. I want the league back on national broadcast TV. They used to be on in primetime.

On the other hand, people care about the Lakers. Half of the country cares that they win, and the other half would want nothing more than for them to lose. So people watch.

I understand that the Lakers are a popular team and it's just for the good of the league for the Lakers to keep advancing. I hope you understand.

did you actually come on here with this excuse of a thread and expect Spurs fans to agree with you that we are "sickening" Yes there are retards here who jump on and off the bandwagon when the spurs are winning and losing. Can you honestly tell me that there are no other NBA fans who do that.. I wouldn't expect Sacramento to have any bandwagon fans since you know you guys pretty much don't win shit. But honestly there are those fans who are very emotional and take their frustrations out on the players.. afterall theyre the ones playing the games. And for future reference if your arguing with someone whos on the opposition.. stooping to personal insults and basless arguments/statements will not get the job done. --->

[SpurYank]

Yeah, we do have a few people who will bitch and cry about every little thing. You are on target about that. However, there are many more who are realistic and understand that this a game, and we do enjoy the hell out of pissing and moaning. This comes with the territory. We are accustomed to winning.

And no, one cannot practice to be stupid. You are born with it. But then again, you already know that being as how you have dealt with it all your life. I must admit though, it fits you very well.
