Knicks are cooked, and would have gotten blown out by OKC worse than the 2007 Cavs anyways
And people were hating on Becky when she said you can't win a chip with Brunson

Pussycat Towns 😂
Towns is so ing clumsy with the ball, why are are they letting him play like he is a guard?
So its going to be thunder vs pacers in the finals
Who’s that lady in white?
I can't believe (ok, I can somewhat believe it, but you get the point) the league is actually going to allow an OKC-Pacers finals. Cmon, admit it, you can't believe it either, lol.
i didnt expect it either.
Silver already on the phone trying to get Giannis to the Lakers
They going to have to give up Luka if they want Giannis.
I like how you’ve been proven wrong every step of the way and yet I’m the imbecile. You don’t know the recent history of the very franchise you cheer for nvm the actual history of it in the Ice days (which I’ve never got to see). You even stupidly said that Bruce wasn’t a beloved Spur. Like you didn’t even see him play. How tf would you know how well he was liked. Btw Bruce was ing loved as a Spur. That’s why his number is in the rafters you dumbass.You can’t and complain about what makes a bandwagon fan when you don’t even know you’re team.Too late for a good ol' necro? I don't check my mentions often, but didn't want to leave this without reply, unlike KA's imbecile message.
I'm definitely not older than your TOSB assbut what's not a "bandwagon fan" for the Spurs then? Only fans who watched all 5 rings are "true fans"? Stupid expectation and gatekeeping. I did watch the Spurs at their absolute best - 2014 - despite not actively posting on ST at the time (as I'm guessing most non-US Spurs fans would, save for a handful who found this site). But I've been a Manu fan before I became a Spurs fan - I watched him play live with the Argentina NT, in person, during their Golden Age.
Respectfully, you for gatekeeping sports fandom, I hope you come to realize what bull you're spewing. The argument had nothing to do with the 80's, and I find the at ude we were talking about condemnable at any era (and again, I'll be waiting to hear your takes when playoffs come around and the Brooks and Dort's of the league are trying to injure Wemby on purpose).
Anyways, carry on believing you're the only "true fan" around while actively ting on the team you're an alleged fan of at every turn, like most fart-sniffing basement-dwellers on this forum have been doing for the almost-20 years that I've happily lived my life elsewhere. Cheers.
You literally said that winning players wouldn’t resort to cheap methods. Well guess what. We did. All the time as a franchise. Horry hip checked Nash buddy. Since you don’t know anything about Spur history and seem to wear that as a badge of honor while TOSBs seem to know that. And guess what, unlike Brooks, Horry made zero basketball play and shoved him into the scorers
This whole thing started bc you were up in arms about Brooks slapping a pinky finger. And then you overreacted from there every step of the way just being wrong after wrong after wrong. Guess what. Curry didn’t get injured from Brooks. His ouchy was okay after all. Then you bring up Zaza for no reason other than that’s the first year you probably followed the Spurs. That’s how sports work buddy. You like it when things go well for your team and hate it when they go bad for your team. Fans hate PI calls in football against them and love them when they go their way. I’m glad you realized this super secret fact about fans
Also Draymond Green is on the Warriors. You know the the team that has Steph Curry and he’s a dirty player. And he’s won 4 championships. You know when you said that dirty players never play compe ive basketball and you can tell that since they are dirty.
And 2014 was the Spurs best? Again how tf would you know? You never saw them play before then. 1999 would smoke them. 2005 Spurs would smoke them. I’d take 2006 Spurs too over 2014. Here’s a list of all the things you’re wrong about that this tired ol bag and the rest of the forum know.
*Brooks tried to injure Curry.
Brooks wasn’t trying to injure Curry. I know this bc he didn’t ing injure Curry. You think Brooks isn’t strong enough to really up Currys hand if he really wanted to.
*Dirty basketball isn’t in today’s game and was only in the yesteryears.
Um Draymond literally plays in today’s game. 2 years ago Jokic injured a player and almost ended his career. Players jumping into other players to foul bait. That is dirty as .
* Only people who have never played compe ively play dirty basketball.
Yeah that was easily refuted.
* We are hypocrites for not liking it when Zaza injured Kawhi
No buddy. This isn’t some groundbreaking revelation that you think it is. But by cheering for the Spurs who have a “dirty player” in the rafters you are by default also a hypocrite.
* You are against dirty plays in any era. You aren’t even aware that your favorite player is seen as a dirty player. Around the NBA, other teams thought that Manu played dirty and cheap. They thought he was trying to injure people with his flopping. They thought he would foul people roughly. The exact same way that you are demonizing Brooks, other fan bases echoed with Manu. But it was ok for Manu to be a dirty and cheap player bc you are his fan. You can even disagree and say that Manu wasn’t dirty or cheap or never tried to injure people, but guess what. Other fans say the opposite. Which again you would know if you know actually followed the Spurs back then.
Lol suck it Silver!

I could see it being a good series..
Awful pacing, 3 days between every game except 3 and 4.
Ehh the NBA will just give the Bucks AJ Dybantsa as a thank you.
they probably gift him to the Celtics, since he's a huge Celtics fan and from Massachusetts.
On that note: Let's go Pacers!!!
they have always been a well run franchise that came close to a chip a bunch of times, but never made it. Would love if they beat the Thunder, although my guess is OKC gentleman sweeps them 4-1.
Also podcast P must be punching the air rn
"Proven wrong"? For arguing that purposely injuring players is -made, bush-league behavior, no matter which team and player is doing so? Please quote where I was "proven wrong" on that, I'll wait. And beginning your post with such a failure of reading comprehension - I specifically said imbecile message - is just par for the course. But I'll indulge you once;
How is not cheering for injuring opponents not knowing the team's history? What message led you to believe I'd never heard of Bowen's antics, or the hip-check against the Suns, etc? If anything, it's been multiple tangential bull brought into the conversation by yourself and Drunkford to whataboutism your way out of a perfectly valid critique. IDGAF what Bowen did in the 80's, I watch basketball today, and I want the rules respected today to keep all players healthy. Get it yet? Or still too abstract a point?
This is like saying you can't be a true American Patriot if you don't condone slavery, or killing off all the natives, or any of the horrible crimes in the US' history of becoming a modern nation. BULL . I can perfectly criticize aspects of my own franchise's history that I don't condone or find OK. Miss me with this "no true Scotsman" bull , I don't care about your prerrogatives of what dogma you need to accept to be a "true Spurs fan" or whatever.
You mean a s my roleplayer attempting to injure the opposing star player in a pivotal playoff game, to be precise, right? Again, I'll be sure to tag you and Drunkford when Wemby is inevitably targeted in the playoffs as well. I'll get to hear all about how justifiable, "men's ball" and "true Spurs basketball" it is then.This whole thing started bc you were up in arms about Brooks slapping a pinky finger. And then you overreacted from there every step of the way just being wrong after wrong after wrong. Guess what. Curry didn’t get injured from Brooks. His ouchy was okay after all.

And no, being a ing hypocrite is not "how sports work buddy"the ing delusion on some of you, Jesus. Sports have rules to be followed, if you don't care for them, don't play the sport or watch the games..... Or at the very least, be consistent in your judgment instead of a hypocritical asshole to others who do care about keeping it clean and within the rules.
Please quote me condoning Draymond's antics again? I do not like him as a player, nor speak positively of him. I believe Curry is a winning player, yes, and haven't seen him resort to dirty which I appreciate and like him... I don't for a second believe Draymond's antics are needed for them to win championships - in fact there's an argument that they've cost them rings as well, karmic justice if you will - so what's your point? That all winners are dirty by definition? Or maybe it's more nuanced than your imbecile message once again lets on?
Yes, I take 2014 to be the Spurs' best. You're free to disagree and present an argument for your personal best Spurs iteration - when did I say otherwise?
ing watch the video again, and see Brooks aim three times at Curry's finger completely outside of his "block" attempt, and tell me that I've been "proven wrong at every turn" again. You know you've got no point when you're twisting reality to fit your narrative lmao, there's actual video tape evidence of my point
Yes.... And? We condone and criticize Draymond for it. Are you gonna tell me now that you've never talked about his antics? Not a single time, since Bowen and Horry did it as well? in bull and you know it...
Yeah, don't worry, I've quickly come to realize just how ty and spineless some Spurstalk posters really get when you press them for it. Duly noted!
Again, since I'm sure you're an American, do tell me how you're not, by your same default, a slavery apologist, colorism-supporter, etc? You sure contribute more to the US as a citizen than I do to the Spurs by watching illegal streams on the internet
I'll give you this one -- I am aware of the Manu debate. Honestly I'd love to speak about it with nuance - I personally make a distinction between flopping, where players exploit both rules and ref's whistle for personal benefit, and injury attempts to other players. To this date I have not seen any footage of Manu doing the latter, and I had the luck to see him play in his prime as well as through countless games' footage. But feel free to share your "Dirty Manu" compilation or whatever.
At this point, I'm honestly doubtful of whether you could even grasp such a distinction, tbh

At the end of the day, it really is a ing funny argument to be having.
These current playoffs have seen one of the highest number of star players being out for injuries. It's a big, big problem for the NBA, from ratings to game quality to fan engagement. Everyone wishes players were injured less, and pitches go from less Regular Season games, to a better enforcement of the rules, to changing the refs. The bottomline is - star players healthy = good for the game.
And the Spurs currently have one of, if not the most fragile superstar-level player in the league.... Who is coming off a major health scare, by all speculation caused from a hit to his shoulder. A jump-shooting big man - one of the easier player archetypes to target.
Yet in an attempt to keep some sense of gatekept "True Spurs Fandom" you've got folks round here actively cheering for roleplayers trying to injure stars, because apparently that's the way it's always been, and we're just too dumb to know or act better? Improvement and change suddenly impossible? As if I can't put 2 + 2 together and see that Wemby will be on the other side of this coin as soon as next year?
It's one of the most puzzling discussions I've found myself in, really. Talk about a lack of foresight and common sense in the name of pride.
I'd really want the Pacers to win even if it wasn't OKC on the other side, but I can't see them taking more than 2 games.
Siakam has to outplay and shut down Chet, that's the key factor, imo.
It’s like the Hershel Walker trade back in the daythey probably gift him to the Celtics, since he's a huge Celtics fan and from Massachusetts.
