I for one have always appreciated the fact that no one else across the country, or in the national media cares about our team. It's more rewarding that way. I would hate to see a bunch of "Johnny Come Lately" poser fans, in places like New Jersey, or whatever, don Spurs gear, or see Ginobili jerseys in rap videos. Our fan base is loyal, and united, that's all that matters.
I love it even more when people go along with the "Spurs are boring" schtick. It suits me just fine that no one pays attention to them, as long as the Spurs continue to do their thing and win, that's all I care about.
you go girl!
Right on.
If they wanted more attention or be less boring, they could implement cute little attention behaviors such as throwing chalk into the air, or doing the "big balls" dance after making a basket, etc.
I disagree with the OP. I often see all the other NBA teams scoring against the Spurs, usually in their road jerseys. I think the NBA likes to show the Spurs as the opponent.
Maybe the Spurs reputation for defense makes the offensive play that much more spectacular. Or maybe it is just those cool black jerseys...
How's the knee Gregory?
Spurs=boring
I've seen tons of runs of those H.E.B. commericals.
Plus I recall DRob in an MC Hammer video, that's phat, right? Dope? Old School, old school!
And does it get better than Sean in Taco Cabana commercials, showing off his mad dribbling skills?
It's not just commercials, it's respect in general. Read between the lines anytime the Celtics and Lakers are talking about each other. Particularly the Celtics. Indirectly, they're basically saying, "they're (Lakers) already in the Finals". Look no further than what Rivers did last season. Taking $2600 and leaving it in the ceiling tile at the Staples Center. Granted, the Lakers were overwhelming favorites to come out of the West, but still. It's abundantly clear from their comments that neither considers the Spurs a legit threat to them.
Here's a quote from Pierce: "Maybe if we had home court last year, who knows what happens in Game 7? So we're definitely not looking ahead this year, because it could come down to another Game 7. And hopefully we can have it on our home court."
You'll notice there's no mention of them being well back of the Spurs. It's clear their mentality is that if stay ahead of the Lakers, they'll have home court in the Finals.
Then you listen to all of these national broadcasters and analysts, same thing. Van Gundy thinks the Lakers are better than last season. Breen said yesterday "they're (Lakers) right on track to get back to the Finals". On Friday, Rose called them the "two most complete teams in the league". That unprofessional puke Barry continues to pretend the Spurs don't exist altogether.
If any of the hype machines had the record the Spurs have, they'd be talking about them in the context as the greatest single season teams of all-time. Not that I ever thought they were going to win 70, but how come there's been no mention of it? No "tracker" between them and the '96 Bulls? I guess you have to be named Lakers, Celtics, Heat, or you're not worthy of that.
Ah, well thanks for looking.
