So complaining about how someone else runs the team doesn't make you a winner, it just makes you a bitchy internet fucktard who thinks that criticizing someone else makes you yourself more important.Quote:

Actually, it really doesn't. As a Spurs fan who has to ride 5 hours on a plane to see the Spurs play at ATT or 2 hours by car to see them at Staples or 5 hours by car to see them at America West or 7 hours to watch them at Oracle, I know that my money invested only provides me the following... a chance to see MY TEAM play Spurs Basketball. Win or Lose. I love talking about it and while I think that there may have been some indecision or even a bad move, it's not all on Pop, or the players or the Front Office. It's on all of them, they win and lose as an organization.
My only complaint with some of you new youngish troll types is that you guys are rash and impetuous. Gone are the days when Ol Skool actually talked mostly basketball. Oh well, Look...unless you are actually a key influencer in the Spurs organization...then you AIN'T and that means you, like me, are RELEGATED to talking about possibilities and happenstance and that's all that it is. We don't own shares of stock in the Spurs Sports and Entertainment and the closest we'll ever come to ownership is the ticket that we buy to see them play live.
I can pretty much guess that going BAMA will be the norm. Me? I think I'll just go HOYA and see what's to become of Gary Neal and watch some Summer League to see the improvement of key players like CoJo and Nando(Hey Nando...you have to be willing to shoot the ball to be a true triple threat player) and then see if there are any undiscovered gems to be found. Because truthfully, whether you go BAMA or HOYA, none of that is going to affect the way the Spurs do their thing. And we all know that their thing is simply playing WINNING BASKETBALL and competing for NBA Titles.
For a small market team like the Spurs to obtain four championships in 8 years is definitely an incredible feat. They've always been under the radar, so for them to only be 28 seconds away from beating THE Miami Heat last month is truly amazing. No need to say it's a drought. The Spurs are always gonna be in the mix for the Title. You should be appreciative that the Spurs haven't turned into Dallas... Or worse, into the Bobcats...
I look at it differently.Quote:

They are not lucky that they won a title with Duncan.
Duncan is extremely good and would've won elsewhere had he not been here. The failing of the Spurs' front office is that they didn't make a greater effort while they had Duncan. They did great up until 2008 where they then dropped off for two years. They correctly shifted gears and it led to regular season success and a shot at a title. Now they needed to make a tweak while they milk the last two years they're going to get out of Duncan and didn't do it.
When he's gone, the Spurs' odds of winning a title go way down. I'm sure you will argue this tooth and nail, but once he's gone, you will see exactly why people are mad they didn't utilize this time with Duncan better. It could be an extremely long time (possibly not even in our lifetime) that we get a guy as good as him on the team again.
