People should have more respect for the pessimists in this world imfo.
turning your back on your team? After seeing them lose a 17 point lead and seeing them with no energy or momentum?
I said it was over when they lost the lead in the 3rd but still hoped they'd prove me wrong. Am I wrong or less of a fan for saying this? Is being a realist turning your back on the team or does a "true fan" say they will win no matter what?
I really wanted them to come back from the 3-1 deficit to make me quit posting for a year. I would've gladly sacrificed posting for another championship. But you can tell they were completely out of gas after half time. Is that wrong?
I will root for the Spurs if they only won 15 games in a season. Even if I know they won't win a ring. Does knowing they won't win make you less of a fan??

No, it makes you an intelligent fan that is behind the notion that in a league of 30 teams, only 1 can really win out. I'm the same way. We lost. I'm still alive and got a good life, nothing to cry about over a game.
Soon as they took a dump at the end of the half, I was ready to pack it in. I held on to the slim hope that MAYBE they could hold the lead, but obviously that didn't happen.
I've never been more disappointed than I am this year.
2004 and 2006 were way more disappointing. This team played like all season, I'm just glad they made it as far as they did. A team with a 33+ average age making it to the WCF is pretty impressive.
But I want timvp and kori's response to this.
Not at all.
You could see the tank was empty.
If they were playing lazy or lackadaisical then you could be pissed, but they busted their asses.
No shame in tonight's loss.
They played with chingos of heart. More heart than I've ever seen a team play with. I love my Spurs team and will continue to do so even though I knew it was over tonight.
For some reason, at the bottom of my stomach, I didn't feel like we had a 17 point lead.
I don't know how to say this, but I'm afraid it means your not a true fan.
Where was their heart in game 1? They were a bunch of choking dogs in game 1!
I'm not even that mad either. Except for losing to the Lakers. Anybody but them! That is akin to Rome being sacked by hordes of heathen barbarians, who cared nothing for Rome's culture and tradition. And those hordes will be turned loose on L.A. in about 2 weeks, when the riots and looting begin.
But yes ... this team wasn't that good to begin with. Pop did a bang-up job with the stiffs he was trotting out there every night. 04 and 06 were way worse because those teams wee far better.
Why? Just because I'm not a homer and knew they were tired?I don't know how to say this, but I'm afraid it means your not a true fan.
I knew they were toast at halftime, and it was confirmed when the Lakers started making everything in the 4th.
No question.
I was sitting there in the 4th looking at the team, Bowen holding on to his shorts, Duncan could barely get around picks and Gasol.
They literally had zip.
Their hearts are freakin gigantes.
Add some young blood and that will all this team needs. They are far from dead.
I was just messing with you.
I felt the same way when they lost the lead. I felt that for the Spurs to win it had to be a blowout.
I've watched almost every single Spurs game since the 02-03 season when i first got the greatest gift known to mankind, NBA league pass. As I've watched through the years, I feel like I've come to really know this team. Like many of people here, I know when we're on and when we're off; when we're going to win and when we're going to lose.
As soon as the Lakers cut into our lead and made it 6 at the half, I knew we were toast. We had nothing left. Doesn't mean I wasn't hoping for a miracle, but you could just tell, it was the end of the road for this season. It sucks, but you can't win every game.
Oh well, I'm not as angry as I thought I'd be. We lost to a better team. I can accept that. But I hope one of Pistons or Celtics players decks Vujacic hard.
end of the third, i turned my tv off. waited for the news on nba.com while surfing.
I have been watching every game since 96 but have been a fan since I can remember. I just never had cable to watch their games at an early age, living in a small rural town south of Corpus, but having watched them as much as I have I knew they were completely out of gas. I love them but knew they were done. I hated feeling this way but I had to be realistic.
I'm happy we didn't get blown out. We were operating on fumes.
no.
They had to be freaking forced out hard.
I mean Parker's 3 had people shaking their heads.
Unreal effort. Unreal.
I agree with my nemeses T Park. They played out of their minds and gave every single thing they had.
Well, they did lose 4-1.
True. Fighting till the end. That's what I love about this team.
The Spurs will never let you down.
