It's all about rivalries imo. The "glory days" were when the Spurs had rivals like the Mavs/Suns and there was a lot of good discussions. Now it's kinda died out and ever since the Lakers traded for Pau it's been all downhill tbh. But it's a forum, they all go through periods and good periods. I wonder how the NBA forum would've been this season had the Spurs rang in 13 tbh...probably much more readable without all the 6 talk and Tammy Duncan threads
What happened to the vBookie stuff? I'd do that
It's been approximately 162,000 minutes since it happened . . . and, honestly, it hurts. It's a pain deep in the soul that I probably won't ever shake. To be that close to such a great moment -- only to see it slip through the fingers -- is still devastating. Somehow, it seems to have hurt more and more as the summer progressed as the realization set in regarding what exactly was at stake.
Sure, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't mean much. It's not something real. It's not a death or some other sort of real life tragedy. But given that following the Spurs is my only hobby in life, it's painful. I'm not going to even try to lie. It hurts.
I've tried getting away from it all to try to forget about it. But there I was, in the middle of the Pacific on a cruise ship in a pitch black room trying to fall asleep, and all that I can see are those 28 seconds replaying again and again.
Logically, I know the pain doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's just a basketball game. And the Spurs already have four championships. And going into last season, a trip to the Finals would have been seen as a great success. , going into the playoffs, I thought getting to the Western Conference Finals was a success.
Logically, what the Spurs did last year was a great accomplishment. A year ago, if you told me the Spurs would be 28 seconds from a championship, I would have been thrilled.
But damn.
This pain doesn't compare to anything else I've experienced in my Spurs fandom. Yeah, .4 sucked. The foul was tough to swallow. The no-look pass was unpleasant. The backdoor sweeps weren't fun. The frontdoor sweeps weren't enjoyable. But all of those don't even register compared to this.
I've had an extremely busy summer. Life is great -- never better. But it continues to haunt me.
Hopefully going to the game tonight will provide some sort of relief. The great thing about sports is there is always tomorrow. For now, at least, the pain of yesterday outweighs the excitement of tomorrow. I'm hoping that changes. Starting tonight.
I like all the kind souls here.
Yeah, because there wasn't a count till I came on board & introduced that phenomenon & all that it entails. You Lorded it over everybody before that. Had it your way, and no other way. You dished it night--&--you dished day. But, you never had to take it. Now you've had to, but, you categorically refuse to. That's the chicken in ya's. It's innate to Spurs Fan.

The people that complain about the NBA Forum don't do anything to help fix it, tbh..
brb, gonna make more Duncan > Kobe and LOL Lakers threads
Nah it's more like Lakerfan came in like pigeons, strutting around like they own the place and ting everywhere
