This forum's stupid logic

[Silver&Black]

You need to rein yourself in as well.

Thank you Chump.

I've been trying to tell them that over the past few days.....they won't listen though. They think that only the anti-Parker people are to blame.

[ElNono]

It's all lefty fault, IMO

[dabom]

Tbh I've tried to stay out of the Parker/Kawhi fan feud but nolyfescrub and his 87 alts just irk me.

I managed to go 10 years without having to utilize this forum's Ignore feature, but I finally had to break down and block all of the aforementioned offenders. The board has been much more pleasant since, tbh.

Seems kind of sad when Spurs fans end up having to ignore/block people on a Spurs message board when they are cheering for and following the same team.

This. Both sides are lame. Enough already.

I've seen two downward spirals.

First downward spiral
The first one might not have been a downward spiral, but just the way spurstalk has always been. I came to spurstalk in '09 after moving to a new city. I could no longer talk Spurs with my buddies every day, so I figured "cool, I can at least have internet chats with other Spurs fans."

But holy cow, there was so much profanity, disrespect and lack of civility between "Spurs fans." It was completely unexpected. Why on earth would a website for like-minded people be so constantly negative? I mean, if this was an NBA forum, I could see getting into it with Laker fans, Mavs fans, OKC fans, etc. Just like on sites like cnn.com, I totally expect arguments between conservatives and liberals. But this is Spurstalk. All of us are Spurs fans, so why the hostility? And when I brought it up, everyone attacked me, as if I was wrong for expecting "Spurs fans" to get along.

People tried to justify this behavior by saying, "It's the internet." So what? PTR is also on the internet, but they nip in the bud if people start getting out of line. There's nothing to justify so many derogatory, sexist, racist, etc. comments on this website.

Second downward spiral
The second downward spiral is much more recent, as others have said, with Apo, great yacht, dabom, etc. They completely ruin this site with divisive comments about the Spurs and general messages of hate toward everyone else. This is a 100% failure by the site admins/moderators. They are abdicating their responsibilities, and we're suffering the consequences.

I mean, I have over 100 members on my ignore list due to their unacceptable behavior and off-putting comments. That's ridiculous. Those accounts should have been closed long ago. I will continue coming here because there are a few people whose comments I enjoy reading. But it sure is a chore.

Admins/Moderators: Do your job!

I find that to be more than a little ironic that so many people "block" others. Yes, the emojis are annoying and I question why any adult male uses them, the offensive hateful language has run rampant, and the basketball takes are few and far between, but this is a "MESSAGE BOARD." You have to expect that. You really want the board to be moderated so that anyone with a " take" in your opinion gets banned? Then you would have 48 minutes of or pounding the rock where a bunch of people who never played basketball write about basketball and all agree on the same things all the time. That is just as "sickening" as what I see on the board. Life is about being accepting of all different views no matter how stupid. To take this site so seriously may just be your first problem.

They're both worth a record and watch. Not major life-changers though.

So what do you think are the others?

Will probably stream when I see them on whatever service I'm signed up for.

Well you're 0-1 so far.

Me too -- catching up on Bob's Burgers. Last movie I saw on that was November Man which I liked, Brosnan usually makes for at least a basically enjoyable movie. Saw that a bunch of classics like Chinatown and French Connection are on it so I'll rewatch those and maybe take in Insomnia if i feel like tolerating 21st century Pacino.

Not seen French Connection. Chinatown and Insomnia are good. Think I like Momento over Insomnia.

The two guys that did the most to get us the win vs the Wizards are the two guys everyone is trying to blame for the loss.

There were 44 minutes of basketball in which there were plenty of mistakes made by many different players. This was a team loss, they were out of rhythm the whole game. The only reason we were in position to win was because of Kawhi and Tony.

So, your theory is that Tony had that great of a game? I don't see it that way.

[DMC]

enrique puttin spurs in position to win? explain why did he blow a 12pt lead with his shenanigans? i dont care if he hit that 3pt to tie the game..without the hero ball spurs wouldnt be put into that position to rely on a basket to win/lose/ot

Kiwi choked in the clutch. It's in his DNA. A Kawhi led team is a guaranteed first round exit, and he makes no one on the team better.

Spurs 0-2 when Kawhobe has 0 assists

TP did much better than Kawhi against the Wizards. Kawhi chucked and choked. 23 points on 22 shots? I would argue that Manu and Tony were the best Spurs on the court, while Kawhi and (especially) LMA were responsible for the loss.

Is evident you're taking this "KAWHI/parker" thing very seriously.

. I saw No Escape and Pierce Brosnan was in it. The movie was a piece of except the parts he was in.
