"Counting out Spurs becomes a yearly tradition" article

This is guy is a complete and total idiot...


#1. The Spurs have had the best record in the NBA 3 times since 1999...

99, 01, and 03.

#2. Not only have they had the best record in the NBA...


They've had the best record in the NBA more times than any other team since 1999.


What's this idiots next great take? Look down to see the sky?


Since 1999, they finished with the best record in the NBA more times than any other team(Lakers and Mavs are all tied for second place doing it twice each)





This dude is a fucking idiot that shouldn't have a job.

#1. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

#2. He doesn't research his facts.


You want to know why ESPN is failing with the NBA? Because they have a bunch of fucking idiots from top to bottom in charge of their coverage.


Seriously...where is the quality control...where is taking the 5 minutes to go look at basketballreference.com and look up the records since 99...it takes actually only takes about 2 minutes to do it...and this idiot cannot even manage that before he starts opening his stupid fucking hole in ignorance.


Maybe...if these idiots wouldn't say shit like the Spurs are some underperforming boring regular season team every single time before they mention them,...people would tune into their finals coverage.

Fri, Apr 4 @ Utah L 64-90

Wed, Apr 9 Phoenix L 79-96

Sun, Apr 13 @ LA Lakers L 85-106

A lot of us were very down about those A P R I L! losses to WC playoff teams, 2 or 3 of which we'd see in the playoffs. Suns beat us badly AT ATT!

We're only in the first round, but it's been a weird season. Spurs' 56Ws didn't have many playoff teams' Ls in it.

ESPN as a whole really is trash. Not only is mostly hours of people screaming opinions, but the company is stupid. Why crap on a team so often that kills casual interest...when it's a team that is likely to play in a marquee series YOUR NETWORK BROADCASTS?! The whole "boring" thing isn't just a poor basketball opinion, it's a bad business decision.

The Spurs yearly tradition going on in the past 10 years trully be the best team. If you come to think of it they are a lot better this year compare the last year considering the won the championship having Kurt Thomas and Ime Udoka who made positive impacts for the team. No doubt the can win another championship this year. Next year they will be more dangerous adding the Euroleague playoff MVP this year Tiago Splitter (center) hopefully will replace Francisco Elson and Ian Mahinmi one of the top D-league scorer (forward) possibly replace Robert Horry to retirement. Having the Big Three with great supporting cast they will stay to be dangerous for the next decade.

What about 1999? I know we had home court the entire playoffs. Was someone in our path upset? Or did Adande blow another?

Good catch. Spurs 37-13 was the best record in '99.

---

I read "since 1999" as "after 1999". If Adande meant including 1999, he's even less diligent than I first thought.

Greg Anthony's comments about the Spurs during last years Utah series summed things up nicely. It was one of the most well thought out commentaries from the "experts" that I've heard.

Stephen A. thinks you have to show your intelligence and prove your point by increasing the volume of his voice. He is a diminishing asset at ESPN - losing his talk show etc.
