Why don't you go back, get your mother and let me have a crack at it.
Ok, I've been wanting to get this stuff off my chest so here it comes. If I get banned for expressing my feelings on a forum then so be it. I'm only going to do this rant one time so let's get started.
2007… 2000 mother ing 7. We’ve been waiting for six ing years. Ok, six ing years to get another championship. This franchise owes it to us Spurs fans and Tim Duncan to put together a championship team NOW. But no, typical Spurs sports fashion – bringing back Manu Ginobili healthy is like signing a big time free agent. you. Oh, we would have won if Kawhi Leonard didn’t miss a free throw or if we grabbed a rebound. you. Agh, we’re not going to amnesty Matt Bonner because he spreads the floor very well for a big guy and he’s a good trade asset. you.
Jarrett Jack and Kirilenko – there were guys out there in this offseason. You are not going to tell me that a defense oriented team would not benefit from having AK47 or Trevor Ariza instead of Matt Bonner. You will not convince me to think that way. You amnesty Bonner, pay less $$$ to Manu, and then you sign Jarrett Jack or any of the other good FA’s that were available. Oh no, Jack goes to the Cavs and AK47 to the Nets for very cheap, yeah way to go.
So what’s the big free agent signing so far, what’s the big move, the big BOLD ing move? The answer is Marco ing Belinelli and Jeff Pendergraph. So Gary Neal’s future is uncertain. Neal came up big in the clutch for a few games during the playoffs. We’re about to lose Dejuan Blair for possibly nothing. TP is out in France representing his NT and risk getting injured. Boris Diaw is out there tweeting pics of himself gorgeously eating. RC Buford said “Manu took a tremendous sacrifice to resign with the Spurs.” Are you ing kidding me? Only Spurs homers will believe that line of BS.
So our bench so far includes a declining Manu Ginobili, Boris Diaw, Matt Bonner, Jeff Pendergraph (a guy with scrub career stats), Marco Belinelli (the successor to Gary Neal), and Corey Joseph (the Spurs’ biggest hope and X factor off the bench to relive Manu off his ball handling duties), and an unpromising (so far in the SL) Aaron Baynes. Yeah our bench looks very promising.
Fans will look at Matt Bonner’s stats and say “why do Spurs fans hate Matt Bonner so much?” Because he plays like he could give a defensively, that’s why. Seems like every year, the depth of this team becomes less and less.
Two years ago, three years ago, the bench was the strength, the depth. How is it that 6 years later after the FO tried to sell us on the notion that loyalty and staying pat every year is actually better because we’ll be able to improve based on corporate knowledge, six years later, playoff failure after playoff failure, six ing years later and we’re still here wearing our Duncan jerseys wondering when the is this going to happen? Sorry fellas, doesn’t look good and it’s all contingent on the team staying healthy and we still have Manu here. Manu is the ultimate poser when it pertains to his value to a team. One in every four games, he’ll have a good game to get his stats up, and that entire game he’ll have played no defense.
Ok, so let’s run down this check list again. The depth is gone so if someone gets hurt again, we’re screwed. Still haven’t brought in a true high level second option off the bench next to Manu Ginobili who can score with the ball in his own hand. Still no backup to Kawhi. I mean you can say Boris Diaw can score out of the low post but he flows around the elbow and put he passes up a lot of open shots. Deshaun Thomas, I’d love to see this kid continue his good work and take over as the backup to Kawhi Leonard.
Once again, it’s the ing Spurs standing pat, spending as little money as possible (or wasting cap space to resign Manu and Splitter), and wasting the MLE on Pendergraph (a dude with scrub stats) and Bellinelli. Ok, do you really think the Spurs franchise is going all out like the Rockets, Heat, GSW, and the Nets? No. I’ll give the team this, they draft pretty well. They’ve done a pretty good job through the draft. As far as free agency, it’s been garbage. As far as trades, it’s been garbage. The biggest news in the offseason so far is that the Spurs were working out a trade w/the Wolves for AK47… that didn’t get very far.
Now, do folks out there who aren’t Spurs fans, this is to the non-Spurs fans; do you look at my favorite team and do you ing say “that’s a team that is committed to building a champion!” Do you say that to yourselves? Or do you say “ah the Spurs, they play hard and they are overachievers.” Every ing year man, then the injuries hit and we’re ed. So much pressure is added to a 38 year old Tim Duncan, an inconsistent playoff performer in Tony Parker, and a 36 year old Manu way past his prime with the way that this team is constructed. I find it so unfair to put all this pressure on the resurgence of our franchise player Tim Duncan.
You’ll know what? Every time you look at this ing team, they’re taking shortcuts, they’re not going the full distance to build a champion. We want to win one more ing championship, WE WANT TO WIN ONE MORE ING CHAMPIONSHIP; it’s as simple as that. Is the FO doing everything they can to build that championship team? No. No they’re not.
Why don't you go back, get your mother and let me have a crack at it.
Seems like a reasonable request..
No no no no... the biggest news this off season is The Cuck.

i only read to here. you clearly are either a troll or stupid. 2 and 3 years ago, the spurs roster looked like this:
3 years ago:
Tim DUncan
TOny parker
Manu ginobili
Richard Jefferson
george hill
dejuan blair
roger mason
matt bonner
antonio mcdyess
keith bogans
2 years ago:
Tim Duncan
Tony Parker
manu ginobili
Antonio Mcdyess
Richard jefferson
george hill
dejuan blair
matt bonner
tiago splitter (played less than 15mpg in 60 games)
gary neal
where is this depth and powerful bench? the team last year and next is much better than either of those teams, primarily because of kawhi, but also because of splitter's growth and getting green and diaw.
the only reason those teams' bench play weren't a catastrophe was precisely because those were manu's last productive years, after that his minutes dropped by over 30% and his role on the team changed. it seems everyone's forgotten that in 2010-11, manu started 79 of 80 games, played more games than either tim or tony, lead the team in points and steals, had less turnovers than tony parker and played more minutes than tim duncan while making 6 million less than duncan and 2 million less than parker. of course, you cant forget what you never knew. troll on, child.
jajaja, first time i see something too stupid to be true. oh well
You should probably take that up with the GNSF upstairs who posted it originally
The parts about Manu were hilarious tbh

I'm really glad that I just straight up break as it happens then calm down instead of being buttmad for weeks and weeks.
The sig is symbolic of how you guys season ended.
Spurs fans were like spoiled kids in the 2000s, another thing they Spurs have in common with Manchester United whose fanbase also houses a load of such. Mavs fans had been waiting for that life long and some of them didn't even get to witness that great moment (#41_Shoot_em_up). I'm lucky that I only became a mav fan around 2006 but still I waited like 5 years before we rang.
No doubt. The Spurs had their chance and wasted it.
