Bragg: Spurs supporters use online message boards to meet people, blow off steam

[SRJ]

Because a newspaper can't print sentences like "Dubya/ head Repugs raping Arabs for Halliburton".

[MaNuMaNiAc]

They need to add a Lakers forum to this board. After all, the Lakers were the biggest baddest most hated rival the Spurs and their fans have ever witnessed in their history.

I mean comon there were shirts saying "Shaq sucks and kobe swollows" with the U as the spurs logo. They had bumper stickers saying "Phil Sucks" and signs saying "Kiss my *." We split 5 consecutive championships.

Spurs ended the forum and the Lakers ended the dome. Spurs were the first team to eliminate the Lakers in the staples center era and the Lakers were the first team to eliminate the spurs in the sbc center era.

and yet the laker fans in here do not deserve jack . Laker fans have neither the numbers nor the civility to warrant a separate forum. Of course, I don't own Spurstalk, other people do, so you might end up getting what you want. I just know I wouldn't give it to you.

The Spurstalk political forum is one of the busiest all-political forums in Texas too, so it's not just Sports....Where's the love?

General disdain and pity are the most that could be expected.

[statman32]

Pretty damn cool. Props to you guys.

Great read! That's why I am here. I really do like to see what everyone has to say about basketball.

The Lakers have multiple sites dedicated to the greatest organization in all of sports, they don't need one here.

lakersground.net is where most of the brilliant posters such as myself reside, there is also clublakers and then the sewer that is the ESPN board.

Spurs supporters use online message boards to meet people, blow off steam
Roy Bragg
San Antonio Express-News

Take, for example, the online, real-time diary of the Spurs’ first 2008 playoff game.

There, they would find 2,146 comments that chronicle a few dozen pre-game fears, predictions and boasts written 12 hours before Game 1 against the Phoenix Suns. Then they’d see a rundown of game action, peppered with expletives and non-sequiturs, all posted by fans watching the game unfold.

And then there’s 5:05 p.m., as the Spurs took the ball down court near the end of the first overtime period.

SpursBrazil: We need a big one.

TParks: (responding to a comment about Phoenix coach Mike D’Antoni’s suspect abilities) Wow. D’Antoni is an idiot. What a newsflash.

G O D: Spurs are the men that triumph in the faces of their adversaries. Spurs fans, have faith and BELIEVE! V5.0At this point, in the real world, on the court of the AT&T Center, Manu Ginobili had driven toward the basket, found nothing, and tossed the ball to a wide-open Tim Duncan, who launched a surprising 3-point shot.

Xylus: Absolutely (bleeping) amazing.

rAm: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Quiet Strength: hahaha timmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Most of the 33 comments that followed over the next 90 seconds were various expressions of amazement, some peppered with expletives.

Suns fans, who had been kibitzing and rooting their team on for the previous 57 pages, didn’t reappear until the bottom of Page 60, when Xylus typed: “Popovich just outplayed D’Antoni.”

At least someone is listening to me!

Yeah we do have alot of bags including myself. That is what makes this rivalry even better. As much as you hate the Lakers and their fans, you respect them the most out of anybody because they were the most successful franchise against the Duncan Spurs and they have the hardware to backup the smack talk.

Nice article, I just read it today!
