Why do Spurs fans love pitting the players on the team against each other? Do they not realize they are all on the same side?

I don't get that either!!
It seems to me a lot of Spurs fans have become bored with winning and some people like to create drama...so they can still be interested.

Is there anything better to talk about right now???
I mean Parker just took a dump on the Jailblazers and tlong is no where to be seen.![]()
And thats why it should be changed to Playoffs MVP. Duncan carried the team throughout the playoffs, and was the more dominant, and better player. In the Finals though, the biggest mismatch was at PG so the Spurs exploited that, and Parker played incredible and got the Finals MVP. Duncan was still the leader, and best player on that championship team.
It kind of bugs me when people compare Duncan and Shaq as equals in terms of Finals MVP's. Duncan was the best player and the leader on ALL 4 le teams, while Shaq was clearly second fiddle by a long way on his 4th le.
Having said all of that, on today's Spurs, Parker is every bit as important as Duncan is. The workload is spread more evenly. These last two games have shown me, albeit a small sample size, Parker is every bit the PG CP3 and Deron are. All along ive said given the chance, or the keys to a team, he could put up ridiculous statistics like Paul and Deron. He has to share the load much more than those two, so by looking at stats people view those two guys as better than TP.
Parker is a beast. And a top 15 player in the NBA.
parker over duncan?
spurs are not the lakers. they will not be favoring a young player over a 2 mvp/3 finals mvp player. spurs are not made up of ungrateful es.
obviously Duncan defers to Parker, he's a team player..there's nothing wrong with having Tony be a primary ballhandler, he's obviously a star player..my point is simply that Duncan will be the #1 option in the playoffs, just like how it's always been..
Tony got the finals MVP, because that was the smart move by the team..he was playing against an injured Larry Hughes and other guys that couldn't guard him..obviously when the matchups are different, Tony and Manu will be our main guys..
Finals MVP: Tony Parker.![]()
nope, Neither Duncan nor Parker is the top dog on spurs team, never to mention Ginobili. It's you, you're the top DOG of almost everywhere you've ever been.

Get that weak stuff "Insex" out of here fool...
Hmm..let's change the subject...Pops Mensah-Bonsu. 34 seconds and one rebound. But seriously..the guy has some LONG arms...one of a wingspan. Give him some more minutes..he just might be the next big thing.
I was about to make fun of you
but then I saw your post count
it has to be a joke.... right?
Tony has to run the show for the spurs and maybe even to be the first offensive option. He earned it and he's as good, and above all, that's the best thing for the spurs.
but it's still Tim's team without a doubt. not only because he's a big (and that's easier for Big to be franchise player) but because he's Tim Duncan, the archetype of a franchise player.
and as much as i admire tony and as i find his treatment here just amazing (look at the kind of thread he had with two crazy games where he led us without tim and manu), he'll never be a winning franchise player like Tim, that's really clear. indeed, i only see LBJ and Shaq in his prime to equal Tim's excellence when it comes to franchise player.
+1
and by the way TP is saying and repeating in almost all his interviews that the Spurs are the Tim team. He is THE boss untill he retires or declines a lot, untill that tim is the man.
Are you kidding me? TP played great, but we all know this is Duncan's team. I mean it's not like we played the Lakers and Celtics and won without Timmy.
We played sucky Dallas and a young inexperienced Portland team. I love TP but get serious. I'd be quaking in my boots if we had to play Celtics, or La without Timmy. COME ONNNN!!
Let's just enjoy them both while we can!![]()
Amen ! It canno't be more true than that !
Xap'
tim duncan = german shepherd dog
rest of team = sheep/rams watever you wanna call the herd
pop = shepherd
Let's not and say we did.....
We might save a few brain cells that way.
Why do fans pit against each other despite the same liking of team?
As if that in some way indicates that the poster knows what the they're talking about.....
Check out SequSpur, Mouse, and TDMVPDPOY. Same asinine bull from each of them. All have astronomical post counts.![]()
