Given there is not much to talk about, here's a question for posters to munch on:
When it comes to discussing b-ball and the Spurs, should our opinions be discounted or brushed aside because we have only been following the team since Manu’s arrival? (at least the vast majority of us)
What do you guys think? (MB, Sequ refrain from posting obscenities) :lol
It all balances out. Some watch the games through Manu. Others watch the game through Tony, Tim and even Nazr. In the end, it all balances out. Each opinion helps achieve the ultimate goal.
As the last, great Ghost Writer would say:
Know your role.
:cooldevil
No way.
Opinions are going to get dissed and discounted but usually it is either because of:
1) a history of poor takes and silly, look-at-me thread-starters, or
2) fun-loving jousting and jesting...usually deserved jesting, BTW.
smeagol, if you are not relevant, how could I ever be? ;)
No, your opinions count just as much as anyone else's. If you're semi-intelligent and think out your posts, you shouldn't be discredited just because you haven't been following the team for 20 years.
Besides, smeagol, you are vBookie King :king
This Forum IS self-correcting, though. The weak and sickly are flushed.
Hell no, if anything discounts your opinions it's the fact you are from Argentina

Obviously it's going to be considered... For example if we have a chance to sign LeBron James and Tracy McGrady for $10 million total and 20 Argentinians claim it's a bad idea, we're going to figure it's because you are Manu fans and don't want to see your guy have a diminished role.
;)
The fact I'm from Argentina discounts my opinions in a number of topics, not only b-ball. :lolQuote:

Speaking of Argentineans, Nocioni today said that is difficult to Argentineans to adapt to NBA due to the outstanding physical features of NBA players, and that he has to adapt because he has nothing of it. But ( this is the best part ) when asked who is the best player he has to defende, the answer is Paul Pierce because the guy understand the game not like Le Bron James who is a little bit dumb for the game yet, but kills your with athleticism". Chapu classic.

What about the Virgin Islanders? And the Frenchies? And the Kiwi's?Quote:

It's all good.
smeagol - I didn't like the Spurs very much until way after Duncan got here and I run this board. So you guys can be Manu lovers all you want and still get respect. :lmao
I thought this said We Aggies, sorry.
Bandwagon fan!!! :lolQuote:

IMO, the Argentineans' point of view is appreciated, and should be appreciated. How unique it must be for a basketball forum in the US to be able to attract such a diverse population of posters that include Agrentineans, Slovenes, and French people.
With two Argentinean players now members of the Spurs, I would think even more of our Argentine friends will join this forum.

Be prepared, Oberto will attract more females fans especially when they discover him playing sweet melodies with his violin what is his hobby (My fiancé added this last sentence) :princess
Which site is that?Quote:

I think Argie's insight is good if we are able to filter the pure homers. We should be civilised enough as to be able to take anyone critics without defending Manu's stupid turnovers or bad decisions blindly. That is what pisses everyone off. (including me) As long as we can do that, everyone should be fine.
maybe sometimes we act too much like an homer

IMO, this forum wouldn't be the same without the Argentine Mafia. :spin

I know it's not going to happen, but have you ever think about that?
I'm here because of Manu, but i came to love all about the Spurs.
It would feel like your parents getting divorce!!!
That's a good comparison.Quote:

Not true, I have also bet big on the Spurs when the Spurs had a deciding game, and they did not let me down.Quote:

Check it out, I won most of my money on the same bets as you! http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gifQuote:

The only problem I have is with the Church of Manu: people who don't really give a shit about the Spurs, only about Manu getting glory. I've never seen that phenomenon for any other Spur player.
Like the folks who went apeshit when Manu was brought off the bench in the Denver series.
You've never seen Manu and the very passionate arguies :DQuote:
