    Don't you all think that certain people on here should just stop the negative pessimistic crap all the time? I mean damnit, the spurs need our support now, more than ever, especially in such moments we need to support the team and be real fans. And all I see in here is, ing and wining, all the negativity ruling, speaking about trades, firing pop etcetera, etcetera, etcetera....

    For all of the pop haters lately, have you all forgotten his accomplishments over the last years??? How can you now after so much good, be so harsh and negative on pop? I dont get it. He is the best we have, and we should really be glad with him as our coach.

    Stop it, be a real fan, ACT like a real fan, and support your team thru thick and thin!!! That's a real fan, and not someone who only likes the team when they are winning. I know this season hasnt been all that bright and shiny, I know we have injuries and other complications, but what the heck!!

    We need to support and have faith!!!!!!!

    I am a real fan, doesn't mean I can't criticise Pop for putting Finley on the leagues best scorer.

    Of course you can criticise, thats not the point, but we have people in here going far beyond criticising, talking about leaving, trading, just spitting poison on everything. Thats just BS.

    Or for benching George Hill for no apparent reason.

    Oh right sorry I see your point. After nearly every loss Spurstalk goes like this. If some people on this forum where in the FO Parker/Gino/Duncan would of been traded months ago, Pop would of been fired and we'd be near the bottom of the west.

    Edit : But Pop has downright sucked lately. Gino now has 2 bum ankles and Duncan has bum knees. I think the team will be reshaped a lot over the off season.

    Pop has always won any kind of argument over the years... so he has my confidence... Bruce, Pop, TD Manu, TP... they have never dissapointed us when it matters most... i trust him... i guess i just need to re-adjust and not care too much anymore.. otherwise it is too much of an emotional roller coaster

    Agree. That's going too far. All of us are fans and we're passionate about wanting to see the team succeed. We're also pretty pissed when the team fails. I know I am. Usually, there are many things to criticize. Yet, firing the coach, the prospect of unrealistic trades or waiving players are usually not realistic options. It's always important to try and work in some perspective.

    I wonder if this whole "seeing the team as family" effect has anything to do with the level of negativity many show for a proven winner. I can see guys saying the coach is an idiot or a bum if they are 13-56, but there are just high expectations here. Criticism is good, necessary, but I guess it's also just a message board - people have the right to voice their opinions... It's interesting to see people freak out the way they do when things aren't 100% If you're an optimist, as I am, you have to admit that the Spurs haven't looked like world beaters lately. But to all those pessimists out there, it may not look so hot right now, and they ain't exactly chopped liver. They just have to keep pounding the rock, as the mantra has gone.

    But people are negative on these boards for the same reason every youtube comments section devolves into an online war of words. People love to fight and piss and moan over the interwebs. It's easier than actually doing, you know, stuff.

    I think we should form a "PollyAnna Poppers Club".

    We could meet and bake cinamin buns with sweet cream frosting, and talk about all the positive things Pop has done and continues to do.

    He has won 4 les, you know.

    Everyone is talking about how bad we are now and I know yesterday was'nt pretty. But we've been hurt all year and still have a legit shot at the two seed. Only reason the nuggets have it is their sorry-ass division. So let's not lose hope just yet.

    True, criticism is good and of course everyone is en led to their opinion, I dont mind that. But its just stupid and big BS that after a couple bad results, people who call themselves fans are giving up on the team, only love the spurs when they win, start insulting and saying crap.

    Dont lose the faith all

    Tim doesn't need to log in to read the negativity, he can lurk.

    Let me ask you a question. When you wake up in the morning, and you're in a ty mood, what kind of day do you expect to have? You wake up, you're pissed, maybe you stub your toe on your nightstand by your bed. You're going to have a ty day. If you wake up in a good mood, and you're happy, and you're confident, you'll have a much better day. Well, when someone comes in here and says the Spurs SUCK, and Pop SUCKS, and we CAN'T WIN, and Finley SUCKS, they're stubbing our ING TOE!!!
