Hasn't it been shown that San Antonio watches Spurs games at a much higher rate than most of the league? Don't we normally have insanely high local ratings?Quote:

There are lots of Spurs Fans all over the country, and the world for that matter. The notion that no one outside of San Antonio cares about the Spurs is ludicrous.
I can't think of a single bowling alley in SA.Quote:

Can't fault the man for earning his paycheck with a difficult assignment ("write a peice on why we should hate the SA Spurs")
After the mandatory "they're boring" it must have been awfully hard to knock on a team with no egotistical showoffs to pick on.
Really? Most people can at least get University Bowl off I-10. I normally go to Oak Hills on Callahan at Fred. Then again, I've been bowling (quite poorly) off and on since I was 4....Quote:

Well, I don't quite live in San Antonio, so the fact that I can't name a bowling alley doesn't mean a heckuva lot. :lolQuote:

That's okay, a couple of my friends have lived in the city all their lives, have gone bowling with me multiple times, and still, whenever we decide to go ask "Where IS a bowling alley?" :lolQuote:

1. The Spurs are bad for the league because they diminish the importance of the regular season. The NBA loves to show its athletes talking about how hard they work all the time. Then the Spurs come in around late May, flip the switch, and practically scream to the impressionable young fans, "Only trying when its important can get you good things."
2. Robert Horry is the biggest coattailer in the history of the league. He's made a career out of hitting wide open jumpers. Whoop dee friggin' doo! If he missed half the shots he's made no one would care. He'd be badmouthed for a little bit after the games but the historical burden of the loss would end up on the team's stars and coaches. He's a punk and the Spurs and their lousy style that lets old men camp out on the three point line are the only reason this guy is still in the league. (Plus, he's the epitome of item #1)
3. The economy has been going downhill for a while. And what do the Spurs continue to do? They draft foreigners. Outsourcing is crushing hard working Americans and they are part of the problem.
4. Carbon dioxide is a culprit in global warming. My source on the Spurs medical staff says these guys exhale it like crazy.
5. Everything the Spurs fingers reach into hurts the entire NBA. This postseason was supposed to be one for the ages. Instead the two most highly anticipated series (Mavs/Hornets and Spurs/Suns) ended in five games. And who was at the helm of the losers? Ex-Spur AJ and ex-Spur Kerr, who may or may not have captained the Shaq deal that shot them in the foot. But it goes way deeper than that. Two young stars in the league-Lebron and Durant- are being guided by pairs of former Spurs. You think it's an accident that the best player in the NBA is surrounded by overpriced, underachieving mediocrity? And you can bank of OKC spending the next few years in the cellar while Durant wastes away and they use all their picks on guys from Whereverthefuckistan to keep yet another championship talent from possibly challenging the Spurs.
6. Said illegal practices force the few honest teams left, like Boston and LA to practice collusionary deals just to stay competitive. And Stern, the good shepherd of the league that he is, has to allow it and let his name be tarnished in the process. I know it kills him inside to let KG walk without some much as a slap on the wrist, but if he doesn't let these teams do what they have to do to beat the Spurs he knows that it will be the death of their TV ratings and eventually the league.
See guys? It's that easy. Now please retire the boring, flopping, S.A. sux smack and do it right.
Why would you guys have elk clubs when San Antonio isn't part of the elk range?

I lack the energy to take offense.
Actually, I didn't. It's all over the place.Quote:

"It's not Judge Judy, Tim?" Oh, come on. You know, and I know: Timmy Duncan has never committed a foul in his life. When they call it on him, it's just the refs trying to even things up for the other team.
So keep on "debating," Timmy: we're on your side!

I'm stumped. The best I could come up with:
7. Continued popularity of the Spurs could set team fashions back by almost two decades as silver and black derails the inroads made by teal and aqua. Obviously, anything that reminds us of the Oakland Raiders, L.A. Kings, and/or Chicago White Sox must also be evil.
8. The "Get Fit with Bruce and Buddy Program." Obviously, the Spurs hate fat kids, unlike the lovable, fluffy Shaq.
