Finley? Bowen? Horry? Thomas? Stoudamire?
Their stars are a bunch of furreners! It's obvious that's why! I tried to blame it on the fact that they're boring and they flop all the time, but I suddenly realized what the real reason was. That ain't got no americans on their team!

Who are those guys?
So now you're not just a Spurs hater, you're a America First racist?
LOL
Tlong, it really must suck to be you having to live through your Blazer rebuilding while the Spurs win 4 championships. I still remember your "Blazers are the greatest team in the universe" posts from the 90's and I expect to start seeing them again in a year or two LOL.
FAIL
Duncan has no pride and it really pisses me off!!!!!
I guess he's too good to bust out the Virgin Islands flag after winning the le.
It's usually jealousy when a team is hated. The majority of current rosters in the NBA won't win as many championships as the current roster of the Spurs.
What he said.
The Spurs are always "too" something. "Too old." "Too boring." "Too nice."
The Spurs' real sin is that they have always been "too San Antonio" (as opposed to New York, Chicago, or LA).
And I can live with that.
tlongII = boring
MORE furreners! live in the USA then ever before
Isn't the USA made up of a bunch of furreners anyways?
HEY STRIKE You have the greatest sig ever!!!
How many NBA teams are made up of all Native Americans?
xenophobic thread....
Thank you.
indeed. i mean, i'm against illegal immigration, but this thread is ridiculous.

I don't know but I'm pretty sure we'd still be hated if we renamed ourselves the San Antonio Indians...
most teams are filled with africans.
You're still alive?
I don't know. But there are alot of anti Spurs fans here in MD too. When I normally go and watch the games somewhere most of the crowd is normally for the other team the Spurs are playing. I was at the gym the other day and I heard a few of the guys there saying that they hated the Spurs and wanted to see them lose. So I asked one guy why do you hate the Spurs so much. They are a classy organization with classy superstars. One guy said that he didn;t know, he just couldn;t stand us. The other one said he just wanted to see someone different in the Finals. But everyone here does give us respect. Just not sure why they never root for us. But that all has to do with the way the media portrays us.

The fact that the Spurs aren't winning their dynasty in NY or LA irritates the media, no doubt about it. But there's something else at play here.
The sports media likes to pretend that championship teams have some sort of extra, mystical element that they can call upon in adverse cir stances. Champions have moxie, grit, fire, they would say. Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas were cold-blooded killers. Bird would rather die than lose. Shaq and Kobe would simply flip the switch come playoff time.
Along comes Tim Duncan. Besides some disagreements with officials about foul calls, Duncan plays for 48 minutes with a poker face. He doesn't scowl, stick his tongue out, or talk . He doesn't guarantee anything, belittle his opponents, or make a big show about how badly he wants to win. As history has shown, he is all business for 48 minutes a night - but he doesn't demonstrate the "victory or death" persona so many others do, often falsely. *cough*KG*cough*
Like every other franchise player, Duncan's example becomes the template for the rest of the team. And throughout this era of Spurs dominance, there's no talk about locker room dissent, bulletin board material, "Trade me out of here!", flipping the switch, or anything else. Past figureheads of NBA dynasties have all exhibited obnoxious personality traits considered to be unfortunate side effects of compe veness - Duncan does not.
What the sports media finds "boring" about the Spurs is that they just play ball. To their simplistic hivemind, the Spurs don't care if they win or lose - so why should Skip Bayless or Stephen A Smith?
This thread is a sign of epic failure...
good breakdown.
