Let's be realistic, there is going to come a time when the Spurs are going to be a sub .500 team for two or three seaons. I can't imagine what this city will be like then. How many people will jump ship? Maybe soccer will make it after all in this town.

Dude, I was lovin' the Spurs sitting behind "obstructed view" seats in the Hemisfair Arena in the early -mid eighties. I lived through the 96-97 crap ass season when Jaime Feick was our center and Dominique Wilkins was our star...oh...he always got the handicapped parking! Joking aside...the Spurs fans...the true ones... support their team through thick and thin! I have seen Sweetpea come and go...Tark come and go...Larry Brown come and go...Rod Strickland...come and go...Dennis (you cost us the 95 NBA Title) Rodman come and go...Bob Hill (and I swear to God the "I HATE GREGG POPOVICH CLUB PRESIDENT ME) come and go...David Robinson (I love that dude) come and go...Malik come and boo hoo...go...

I have lived the sub .500 years like many of us have. We love our team. We have heart, character, and pride. They are one with us...community based! Players do not come to the Spurs unless they are. If they come and are not, they are gone quickly (Stickland, Rodman, SweetPea...etc...).

I will tell you this...I still think we screwed up when we released Antonio Daniels! I saw a star in the making from his first year here. I kile the guy and I know Timmy and David do too.

Bottom line...Spurs fans are not bandwagoners...are not sore losers...but we back our team because they back us! GO SPURS GO!!!

Mouse, im new to this "^RACK HIM^", idk but im only 17 and its pretty sad to see someone just get off the bandwagon after one loss, whoever referred to the Dallas Cowboys made a good point, the cowboys have not been winning but their are still fans all over the place no matter what..they are still real fans...we are spoiled of winning and that will get to us when the spurs will have a bad season, but we have to keep by them and be true fans no matter what..I live in dallas and have all this trouble by being tempted to go for the Mavs, but i stick by the Spurs.....GO Freakin Spurs Go

There's a difference between knowing you're going to be a marginal team when say, Tim retires, and watching your team piss away year after year of the Tim Duncan era because it's coach thinks offense is when you regroup for your next defensive possession.

AMEN :jack

TIm duncan not only talks but he performs :jack

And we'll all just miss Walton. BI think I'm about to cry. Oh wait, no.

Walton and THJ, you two need to think about your stance. You've been through the ups and downs with this team. You've been on board since the early '90s. You've seen this team tease until they finally win a couple championships. You've survived the .4 disaster.

You can survive this. The Sonics killed the Spurs today, but the Spurs will come back harder in game five. They will get that game. They will go to Seattle on a mission. They will win game six. Then -- with this adversity strengthening them -- they'll be ready for the rest of the playoffs.

This is just a speed bump. I know that it'd be easy to give up on them, but you two are better than this. You are a part of this team and you know they'll come out of this. The Spurs will bounce back. You'll be there too.

True Spurs fans stay together. Let's do this.

Believe.

WTF talk about bandwagon... it's still 2 / 2 noob...

I have never been so disgusted in the fifteen years that I've been a fan and that includes the shock and awe that was 2001 vs. the Lakers. When I think of professional sports, competition, heart and pride come to mind and this team sorely lacks all of that and then some. With the exception of Tim Duncan and possibly Robert Horry, no ONE player came to Key Arena and played with anything resembling passion and that at the professional level is completely and totally inexcusable. Tony Parker drove the lane three times all evening- further reinforcing the fact that when confronted with anything resembling physical defense, he's more French than a beret and a baguette.

It's not about losing, it's not even about losing to a short-handed team. It's about the fact that after all the talk, all the hard fouls, all the bullshit from this loser Seattle team, we just tuck our tails and phone it in- IN A PLAYOFF GAME. As a fan, I can't accept that. I can't accept guys like Brent Barry and Tony Parker being paid millions to not even break a sweat.

I've been a fan since 1990, and today, I just can't do it anymore. The game of basketball, it's pampered primadonna 'stars', it's inconsistent refereeing, it's whining after every foul has just lost a fan of fifteen years.

Some will read this and not give a fuck- hell I wouldn't either. To most of you, this will just be a post-game rant after a horrible loss. But for a guy that loves to watch players like Rodney Harrison, Ray Lewis, Steve Yzerman and David Robinson, I can no longer support a team that features the likes of Rasho Nesterovic and Brent Barry- guys that don't possess a competitive bone in their bodies.

The story of the series- much like that of last year- the opposing team gets physical and their Spurs' players lose their nuts and their coach makes no adjustments. Guys stand around with their thumbs in their asses while all one hundred and forty five pounds of Luke Ridnour goes through our team like a hot knife through butter and nobody GIVES A FUCK.

I'm taking off my silver and black jersey and I'm never going to put it on again.

May the best team win.

Later.

Later you LOSER,but you will come back with a new account and screen name

Walton, that was a classic! You can go Mouse on us, but please continue to post. You are hilarious and would be sorely missed.

I hear you timvp, I really do but it's hard to support a team that plays scared. For whatever reason tonight, aside from Tim and Manu, they looked like a team that played scared. When a punk-ass team like the Sonics looks good because of that, it's really hard to swallow.

I remember the beatings at the hands of the Lakers in 2001 when our team quit. That was the fucking worst but at least they were the World Champion Lakers. Tonight's loss to a classless Sonics team with no accomplishments due to our lack of heart is pretty close to how bad I felt then.

Our team has more talent in their little finger than this team but they're letting themselves be cowed by some no-talent thugs? I would've thought we left that crap behind when we gutted out two wins in Denver.

I'll be there for game five but until then, I'm going to expose myself to as little basketball as possible. I just need a break right now.

for a guy that roots for a murderer like Ray Lewis??

Good riddance.

They looked scared because they were scared. That starts with Barry coming out with his tail between his legs. It also doesn't help that Nazr doesn't know what he's doing.

But the Spurs will bounce back in game five.

Print out my post and give it to Walton and get him back in here.

I'll make sure he sees it but he generally takes this shit pretty hard. With what happened tonight, how could you not? Playing scared is the fucking worst.

FWIW, we both watched every minute of every game in 2001 so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets back up on that bike.

Since games are strictly decided by how much a team cares and how much heart it has, why not skip the games and have caring contests. The team that best expresses how much it really really really wants the trophy wins. Or maybe wins and losses are based on how well or how poorly a team played on a given night. Hmm.

This is the dumbest remark that I have heard. Playoffs is all about hearts and guts..

I see Taruky lurking. :lol
Long time no talk.
