You seem to get angry really fast.
Do you need a hug?

Why don't you stay away until June? For such a short statured man, you sure do have loads of pessimism built up in you.
I wonder if they make Nikes in his size....Quote:

Yeah, OK, TPark.Quote:

There was a time I quit watching the Spurs until the playoffs. I had just sold my season tickets, and was just tired of watching all those games, just to see us fold in the playoffs, yet again. I couldn't take it anymore.
I was very angry and frustrated.
It even got to the point, where I would tape playoff games...and only watch them if I knew the Spurs had won. I couldn't handle the defeats again, so I had to know before hand if they won, then I could truely enjoy the fuckups and stupid plays "well, I know we won, I can handle this..."
Then we started winning championships.
The first 2, I again was just watching playoffs, tape delayed. I couldn't bring myself to watch regular season games until after we won 2 championships. And then, I would only watch the games we won.
Last year, was really the first year since about 1995, that I actually watched regular season games...without a tape delay. I figured...ok, they might lose a few of these games, but they've won 3 championships now...they'll be there at the end. It's kinda like watching a game they played poorly in...but won. You can handle the regular season losses, if you know they're gonna have a chance of winning at the end.
And that's where I am now. Watching regular season games again, knowing that we might actually win in the end. The losses don't take me to the edge any longer. My dog will even hang around me till the end...even if the Spurs are down.
I think this is a problem unique to many of the Spurs fans from the 70's, 80's, and even 90's. The torture/depression/frustration of doing well in the regular seasons...and never doing well in the playoffs left scars. Scars that are just now healing. Post season depression was a way of life...and after awhile, you did everything you could do to avoid it. Mebbe just peeking around the corner every now and then, but never letting yourself get emotional involved.
It just hurt too damn much. We went through 20+ yrs of pain...and sometimes I still can't believe it ended.
But, it has...and I've finally accepted it. Getting mad at regular season losses during these glory days, is just silliness. People who lived through the Depression, had no job, and got their food from soup kitchens... could never understand people whining about a minimum wage job, or lack of health "insurance," when they didn't even have food on the table most days.
It's all a matter of perspective.
My name is SouthernFried...and I am getting better.
Thanks.
It's just a game. To compare it to soup kitchens and lack of insurance, or having food on the table, is taking it just a bit to far, don't you think? Whether they win or lose, in the end it's just a game. A bit too much drama on your part. This has got to be a first for Spurstalk.com. Sheesh!Quote:

If a team can be practicing new offensive sets during real regular season games and still win about 50% of them, it has a good shot at the championship.
I hate fans that give up on their team when things get difficult.
You're in the wrong place then...you'll find quite a few here you dont like.Quote:

the way i see it, the second others start doubting the spurs is when we will play our best.
Yeah, the Spurs live for that. Letting people think they won't get it done. Flying under the radar. In the end, they will be champs.Quote:

I may give up reading Sequ's threads. I've wasted 2 or 3 minutes reading all of them....minutes I'll never get back. It's sort of like expecting to get some sort of taste value out of eating rice cakes.
:lol
dumb............
Hard day at work, Sequ?
try 5.00 dollars an hour!Quote:

Reading your post does make one ponder the internal question of "What the hell am I getting so upset about?" Our senses have dulled the fact that there were many times, as you've stated, where a superior regular season only meant collossal playoff failure and pain. The Mavs and their fans know this all too well.Quote:

I guess my frustration, albeit a small one, is that there is nothing on the bench - outside or Manu (which is a hell of a lot and I really consider him a starter) - to get me excited about. Every young, hungry player who gets a shot (Washington or Johnson), seemingly gets cut. Personally, I love seeing the hunger, enthusiasm and drive from a young player who's trying to make his mark and make the most out of his limited minutes. I realize the Spurs are playing for titles. However on nights where the veterans are seemingly disinterested, unmotivated or simply can't get it together, a couple of young, hungry bodies, with fresh legs, who are playing out-of-their-minds is usually a good antidote.
Obviously, I'm still motivated by the "drive for five" and will be for the duration of this season. At the same time, I'm already wondering what this roster will look like next year? Who will be the replacement players? Who will retire, etc.? Who will be added? I know all of this is blasphemous to even suggest. I guess the grind of a NBA long season is partially to blame for my wonderlust.
This is why I did not get League Pass this year. The regular season Spurs just piss me off.
Same here...the regular season can be a lot of fun, but there's no reason to care about it any more than the Spurs do (which is very little).Quote:

i feel a lot better about the spurs without it this year but i may end up buying it after the all star break when we start to peak.
