Which would you rather have?
-Championships or early exits?
-Celebrating with your buddies when your team wins or sulking
when they lose?
-Championship parades or "wait until next year"?
Watching your team raise championship banners on opening night
or watching other teams raising banners on opening night?
I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands of fans of the 14 teams
who didn't make the playoffs who are a hell of a lot more
bored right now than Spurs fans.
All of you fans of the "flash and flair" teams can have the excitement
of watching your teams' early exits.
I'll take "boring" championship ceremonies any day of the week.
Ginobli and Parker make their share of circus shots adding some spice to the game for those video game junkies who want flashy plays.
I swear to god Nash looks like someone tried to develop a photo and screwed it up and got a double exposure.Quote:

They would become instantly exciting. They would have multiple books written about them. In fact, they would be one of the most intriguing dynasties of all time!

lol suns fans say we are boring like we actually care. If your teams is winning how can that be boring? Who gives a hell if we entertain the casual national fans? I dont!!! Give me rings anyday.
Did boring old Tim Duncan have more dunks than the entire Suns team today?
Did boring spurs slow the game to a pulse?
It was probably the most boring game that's ever been televised.Quote:

Spurs = boring
Suns = ringless and bloody.
I fell asleep during the game, what happened?
(Insert sarcastic tone here for all the morons.)
Dude I was bored to tears watching the Spurs beat Phoenix. What with all the lead changes, defense, the Nash/Parker collision, etc.
I couldn't believe the unbelievable amount of boredom. Damn near slashed my wrists with my butterfly knife.
(End sarcastic tone)
These fucking guys.
Spurs are so boring i had to sign up for this boring forum. Why do you spurs fans want? You cant play incredible defense, half court basketball and abuse the paint and be classified in the same category of entertainment as the suns, warriors and nuggets.
I'm not saying the spurs aren't good, their excellent and all you spurs fan I am sure have fun watching your team with 50 games every year. But i rather watch a game with high flying dunks, alley oops and flashy passes then just watch my team win after game. Remember the game is for entertainment not just watching your team with games
Why do you think the Spurs are never in the music highlights? Tim Duncan's abuses the backboard, Robert Horry ends up in the corner somehow wide open for 3 and Bowen's head in incredibly shiny. The most interesting person on that team in Ginobli since he pushes the ball every chance he gets and seems to make a layup regardless of how hard he's hit on a foul or where he is on the court.
The spurs are like those guys who live a boring, conservative, serious life, then turn 50 and decide want to have fun by buying a convertible corvette and shades. I'm sure most of you spurs fan are those guys mentioned above.
I'm going to watch my Warriors play the Jazz in 30 Min
estimated final score 145 - 117. Thats what i call basketball
:clap

Maybe for you its just about entertainment but other people have other reasons for watching games. Me personally, I just like watching my team play.
Besides...winning titles never gets boring. :)
Need to see shiny objects to be entertained forum.

P.S. the spurs jerseys are so boring and conservative. Do they even have an alternate jersey? I know they have the one retro jersey which looks pretty much like the regular season jersey. Maybe if they change their colors the game will look more exiting.
Spurs are the PC in (Mac vs PC) commercials.

Im done with this forum. The Warriors and Jazz game just tipped off.
Why not just make it the WWE? Seriously, if it's just about entertainment and who will bring the most viewers to their televisions, then why even bother with the notion of there being a real competitive element to the game? Preordain winners to ensure "exciting" matchups that will keep ratings high and do away with the notion of one team actually being better than another. That's what people want, isn't it?Quote:

This guy is getting pretty damn high on the Unintentional Hilarity meter.
Oooooooh, look! Pretty shiny objects!Quote:
