Sick of the media saying this over-statement

I'm sure there are some people who are sick of hearing people complain about the media.

The best way to shut up the media is to win the games.

Spurs Fans....

Trust me, the Spurs ARE NOT being disrespected by the media. They are having a tough time against a team that most fans and analysts excpected them to sweep or win in 5 games. The NBA world is surprised at their recent troubles and is discussing the situation. That is all.

The Spurs are still the heavy favorites to make it to the Finals out of the West and nobody is saying any different. They are the defending champs and, along with Detroit, have been ridden and praised as unbeateable all season long.

I know that Steve Kerr said Spurs in six, so the statement is not universal.

Spurs let play do the talking after listening to the Kings homer all night on NBATV.

Bravo.

The truth = Bones got a somewhat lucky bounce but the it was piss poor defense that left him wide open and the Spurs cruised in OT.

The next game the Spurs gave it away and the Kings won on a friggin miracle after the Kings folded in the 4th.

Only in the last game did the Spurs do their "usual annual fall on the face game in the playoffs". No worries that happens every year, and this team is resilient.

Mark my words they will be back and are still going to win the series and most likely in 6.

As opposed to the Spurs homer on WOAI 1200.

It's universal, people. I wish Spurs fans would stop looking to the media for their team's respect.

No but it is a national televised game and a Network Playoff Game, the announcers should be unbiased and it was unreal for those of us watching NBATV - finally I turned sound off.

Elliott and Kerr give favor to both sides, and in fact sometimes seem to give too much credit.

Kings could do no wrong even when losing by 10-15.

I agree that the Spurs aren't disrespected by the media--it's more like they're ignored or under the radar, which is just fine by me. But no one expected the Spurs to sweep this series. Before the Game 1 blowout, every commentary I read said that the Kings would stretch the Spurs to 6 or 7.

I actually think this series has been good preparation for going up against the Mavericks (assuming we win against Sacramento). If we had swept against the Kings, or won in 5, we would have gone into Round 2 with that lackadaisical, everything-will-come-to-us attitude, and we would have been butchered. This way we're battle-tested.

The Mavericks don't have anyone like Bonzi, and Bowen can shut down dirk 50% of the time.

I actually think that they are an easier out than the Kings...

Not saying we beat them either if we get there... I just think we match up better with them.

Most in media either do not realize that Kings had 6th best record in league last half of season and 3rd best last third.

Kings are a very fine team and will be beat by a great team = the Spurs.


I had it 6 going in and that will stand!

This, no MVP for Dirk. Shut down by a 6 footer and youre 7 feet tall. Weak.

Correction: Bowen used to be able to shut down Dirk 50% of the time. I'm convinced that Dirk cannot be stopped by any one man. It'll take a double team now which Dirk has become really good of passing out of. Dirk will drop 25-30 a night against Bowen.

Honestly tho, Mavs/Spurs is gonna be a great series! (once yall take care of business)

With whose announcers?

If you want commentary-free commentary, give yourself the play-by-play and analysis.

Color analysts like different things and they're going to voice them, that's what they get paid to do. What do you want them to say, "Oh, this was a pick-and-roll and it scored a basket."

It's not John Madden making the call. That's why I love Sean Elliott so much, the insight he brings to the mic from his time with the Spurs and his knowledge of the game can help a person see things they might not have been able to articulate before.

But, Sean was a Spur, is paid by the Spurs and is part of the Spurs broadcasting team. It's going to lean silver-and-black sometimes.

Dude, I think he meant the NBA Tv announcers.

It's the second time Rummpd has gloated that he said "all along" before the series that he said it would go 6 games. I'm just calling him out. He always portrays himself as someone who is so knowledgeable about basketball, and that's fine. But, don't lie and say something like "I knew it all along" or "that's what I saw coming" when in fact you didn't. Rummpd already had little credibility with a lot of posters on this board. And, now he lies about his prediction after the fact to try to make him look smart?

Give him a break? He said "Kings will luck into one game" and the Spurs will win in five. Sounds like he thought the series was going to be pretty easy for the Spurs. After the first game, the series has been anything but easy. I think it's completely fair that Rummpd gets called out when he lies.

NBAtv does not have its own announcing team. they broadcast the game, but use either the home or away announcers.

Rummpd is a great poster here. Credibility goes to shams when you hit the post button. It is an internet board after all, so don't get too huffy puffy.

I like your posts too, so its not like I am dogging you, but don't be so harsh about what someone says on an INTERNET BOARD.

Fuck the media. All they do is exaggerate the truth and sometimes flat out lie to you. What difference does it make if some nut in a suit claims this or that. They dont know shit, and I stopped listening to them a long time ago. Hell, I never watch anything about sports other than the games because all of the speculation is bullshit. If the so-called sports writers were ever right then the Spurs would have 0 championships. They dont know what they are talking about, fuck them and anyone who looks like them.
