and playing in a terrible and extremely weak Eastern Conference. Don't even get me started on that late term abortion of a division that they play in. So sad so sad. And before any of you haters talk to me. I will do it for you by typing Gaycob and butthurt. How original.
'em
damn this mavfan salty like butter
hehe leastern conference n
Heat ain't doing next year.
The NBA is only watered down in the East. the west is FULL of good teams.
Thunder Clippers Spurs Nuggets Warriors Grizzlies
and then theres Lakers. you know the league is gonna gift them something good soon. probably Cousins.
and the compe ion in the west will be more fierce next season with Mavs coming back strong and revamped. The western champoinship will be open for 4 teams to grab at next season: Spurs, OKC, Clippers (if they can keep CP and upgrade their squad's IQ) and them mavs
Their win over the Spurs validates their le. Even though Duncan is past his prime, Parker was inconsistent, and Manu terrible, this Spurs team was one of the stronger Finals runner-ups in recent memory, since they peaked at the right time. How can they not be when they basically won the championship without winning it?

That's why Media was prepared at Miami loss to cocoon James, protect him from the onslaught of "fan" derision leaking into the " pit" of reality, their reality. No way were they/Media/Cowherd, et al going to permit James to hold his own at loss. They'd a stretched out Bosh, crucified him at a bellowing level for as long as it took. James is their bread & butter during "watered down" era. They ain't losing that catalyst. No ing way.
Now, they can go forth with James in full regalia. They/Media can put James in the same picture with Jordan and it's (OK). Because it was presented to begin with that way. Unlike the comparison with Kobe & Jordan. That comparision is for the dark and sinister prose of Media (when they need it). So they still get two bites at the apples:::clean compare of James & Jordan:::of course it's not true, but, they can compare with nary a problem and they feel and stay clean. And when Kobe gets back on his feet they can located they sticks in the their garage and poke at him with Kobe & Jordan to even a more rapt audience because James rang and in back-2-back fashion.
That is my lament. I did not want Spurs fan to win here, for obvious reasons. But, I would have loved to see Media have to sit down with that sandwich at loss.
Thanks for rooting for the Spurs, cubster
Stop with this bull . Jordan played in a watered down era, too. It just is what it is. No one will really care about how "watered" down the league was. People will remember championships and clutch shots. Allen hit a huge shot to force a Game 7, Lebron took over both games to will his team to victory. Those are facts. The Spurs were not a weak team, it was the toughest series Lebron has ever been part of and he came through. I'm not gonna start making excuses for Miami, they earned their 2013 championship. Spurs had the chance to take it and they blew it, twice. Just gotta deal with the outcome and look forward to next season. I love the NBA, hopefully next season will be just as good with the Spurs going deep in the playoffs again.
I dig the way you mythologize sports and also compare them to heroic tales and the like.
I'm taking solace in the fact my Spurs were like the in' Wild Bunch heading into Mapache's compound to take back Angel (the Larry O'Brien), mounting a heroic, bloody, bullet ridden last stand they nearly survived until Pike was shot in the back by a scared child (Game 6).
They died. But they died with their boots on and guns blazing.
I can't, as you say, "forsake" this team for failing to close. We are hurting, but it's a good hurt when put into the proper perspective and maybe a hurt this ever petulant and insecure fanbase needed.
like this year right ?
Btw, the league only looks "watered down" because LeBron is THAT dominant and nobody else can stop him, tbh....
You didn't {needed} it, but, you got it. And you'll live with it every day till the grave. That is the (misery) that Bosh spoke of so eloquently. I'm not married to Spurs players though, never have been, so I don't "see" nor "feel" their pain, if there is any. I just don't care, it's nothing personal.
But, I am married to you guys.
Which ones you taking to the grave?
'69 and '84?
The Fumble? The Drive? Red Right?
Lucky for you, you weren't doing Indians in '97. That's being "touched" something fierce.
What difference does it make how watered down the East was? The Heat beat the best team in the West--a team that almost blew past their compe ion in the playoffs.
Just '84. They (Celtics, their minions & Media) were out to eradicate us. I see it all now, thru the past years:::they knew we were the real thing, (Magic) could take us out of the boundless misery and deliver us as West, Wilt and Jabbar, et al had failed to do. That's why the Celtics tried to destroy him (Magic) mentally, planted that seed of doubt in '84. But, it never took root, thank Christ.
Bird tried exactly that when he said:
"I think we shoulda won in 4."
I guess the analogue for Spurs fan here is when Jackson tried to do something similar by denigrating the Spurs first le with the asterisk talk. And thank Christ it never took root.
Mavfan need a tissue?
Seriously scrah? You're gonna put up a Lebron sig?
Two rangs, !Seriously scrah? You're gonna put up a Lebron sig?
watered down as in when there was 3 strong teams led by 3 franchise players who end up joining onto 1 team, leaving 2 other teams to become scrub teams, just another 8 easy wins to the RS record and fodder in the playoffs if they do make it...
