Things don’t always happen the way we want them to though and some of the “lesser” teams have passed us by. Having said that, I have not and will not give up on the Spurs. Sure things are looking dreary right about now. Manu hasn’t yet re-signed (due of course to the FO), Tony is hurt, the new guys aren’t catching on as quickly as we would have liked and our record doesn’t reflect the 82 win season we hoped for. That does not change the fact though that I am now and always will be a Spur fan. I was a fan before the AT&T Center. I was a fan before the Alamodome. I was a fan before Manu, before Tim, before Avery, before David. I bleed silver and black and no matter the outcome of this season I will cling to the hope we have in our rising stars.
Is the combo of Hill and Blair going to lead us to a future championship? Maybe not, hell maybe Georgie leaves us because he gets offered more somewhere else. The bottom line is we could have the same record as the Nets and I would still watch every game and proudly wear my Spurs gear. No matter who is wearing the Spurs uniform (except Jason Terry) I will root for them and cheer them on.
I will end this with a quote from a great man that inspires me every time I think I am unable to accomplish something. I slightly changed it to fit our situation of course.
“Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
What the fuck happened to the Spur fans I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest season of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you HMM, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Lakers, they’re dead men! Celtics, dead! Mavs...”
