Fans in large part want wins and they dont give a shit about anything else, definitely not the best behavior or mentality to understand how the team get there and prepare for the playoffs.Quote:

I love my spurs but this years team is a cute regular season team, they could easily lose in the first round
it sucks but it is what it is
no simmons = no win
Patty Mills got burned by Seth Curry ...
Can you actually go to Chernobyl these days? I read they put some huge infrastructure over the number 4 reactor a few months ago to stop anymore radiation leaking out. It's supposed to last about 100 years or something? I need to do some reading about it as I find it very interesting. Very shocking/scary what happened there. I can't imagine what it was like back in 1986 when it actually happened. It actually looks/looked like a nice place to live before the nuclear meltdown.Quote:

Spurs can too since no way Popped is going to coach the Spurs to #1 seed over the Warriors. Thus Spurs going for #2, good cushion between Spurs and Rockets. But no where near as good as Cavs easy path.
The Cavs may be able to coast, but you can see even Lebron is hitting the panic button there. He knows he can't beat the GSW with the current roster. Spurs are in a similar situation, but I don't see a lot of ways to improve the roster. I guess they can coast as they are as good as the rest of the teams in the west. But they used to eat up sub 500 teams for breakfast. Now those teams are winning games in S.A. And while they have a lead over Houston, I could easily see Houston going on a 2nd half run and passing San Antonio, and if the Clippers get Melo and keep their other three stars, who knows what they'll be capable of doing. So I think the Spurs have to be a little concerned, though its certainly not panic time.Quote:

How close to the reactor you can get, I can't say. I know you can visit the city right across the lake from it. There were three types of radiation dispersed apparently. One with a half-life of 20 years (dissipated), one of 30 years (just dissipating now) and another that will last several thousand years. There is a population, legal and illegal, that lives close; Something like 180 villages and towns in Soviet Ukraine and Belarus had to be abandoned because of the disaster. When you enter the museum they have this hall with sign after sign from places that are now ghost towns. The disaster released more radiation by a factor of several hundred than the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The reactor is sealed in a "sarcophagus" - material placed on all sides to keep in the radiation. The most harrowing part of this things construction was in the hours/first day after the meltdown when the reactor was sinking into the earth. If it sank too far it would be impossible to seal as well it would pollute the underground rivers that run nearby. So, they sent a group of coal miners to dig a tunnel UNDERNEATH an active, sinking reactor so they could fill it with special concrete and build a bottom to the sarcophagus. Apparently, the temperatures in the tunnel were nightmarish, and the coal miners, who were not an educated lot, often took off their radiation suits to beat the heat. All that did dies within a month of the digging. But they built a bottom on the thing and contained it. Heroes. I may write a dramatisation of this sometime.Quote:

I am told much of the Chernobyl region is quite beautiful now as it has been left uninhabited for 30 years and returned to nature. There are still some forests however which were destroyed and left a barren heath though.
Parker supporters would probably just say he was the best player on the floor for the Spurs.Quote:

yeah all of the elite teams are going thru it, Dubs barely beat the Blazers last night, glad most of the squad can take all star weekend off, the break along with the rededication that the RRT brings are all that this team needs the season is long and uneventful except for a handful of exciting games.Quote:

Spurs played those teams at the perfect time. I'm sure when the Cavs come to town the results will be much different.
Always making excuses for them but you can't make those same excuses for us. Isn't that hypocritical much faggot? :lmao
Yeah, it was the worst nuclear accident in history, bar none. Fukushima was a glass of spilled milk compared to Chernobyl.Quote:

I thought that much was obvious. Spurs are paper tigers.Quote:
