Well that one.
Yes I know that was my point I was trying to make. The other poster was to thick and didn't understand though.
Well that one.
Pretty sure the Heat had a lot of hype...didn't they have their own show??
And that heat index. The 2012 lakers team got a ton of preseason hype as well
I know a long shot but how awesome would it be for Dirk to return the favor and the Bay Area this year in the first round...
I would approve of that.
They might be, but they are the champs and more accessible than the spurs. People forget the NBA exists to sell.
Every year after a Lakers' le since 2001 was at least as bad. Not only did they get hyped up as much and arguably more, but any time they blew a game the excuse-making would be out in full force. ESPN didn't even hide the fact they were cheering for the Lakers.
This year's GSW team being hyped so much doesn't really bother me since the GSW team has been bad for most of it's existence, but their on court arrogance and lack of professionalism and sportsmanship can get pretty irritating.
So spoiled watching the spurs class... I was actually laughing last night, Is Pop going to doghouse Boban for the non-spur mean mug tech?
That's how ridiculous the culture here in SA is vs the flash and dash everywhere else.
we'll see if, how TNT commentators skew tonight
Since the dismantling of the Heat in the Finals, I notice the Spurs being consistently praised, almost worshipped more than any team in the league. The amazing thing is it's coming from everybody...the media, the coaches, the front offices and most importantly the players. You hear phrases like "the gold standard", "that's what they do", "the Spurs way", and even "Dynasty". Remember when some people were reluctant to use that word, because the Spurs never, and still haven't, won back-to-back les. It just doesn't matter anymore.
Hats off to the Warriors for their great season so far. For those of you wanting a 70+ season for the Spurs, or even the Warriors, neither will get there without the other pushing them.
They play a very entertaining, media, TV, casual & knowledgeable fan friendly brand of basketball w/ young dynamic players and well respected ex player for a coach
Lots of highlights which the media & casuals eat up, but most are born out of a great system and doubled with very very good execution for the hoop scholars
I like the Spurs more than I like any other sport but theres no way I can get down wit the GSW bashing
The only real reason to dislike GSW is if they arent your team
I think the Spurs are better but I dont get mad GSW gets the lights.
I for damn sure wouldnt want all that hype & buzz in San Antonio
In some ways gsw is just doing what okc was supposed to do. Build the team the right way with exciting players and decent team defense. Okc just got the short end if the stick in having to face a pre cramps LeBron and having the less mentally fortified players/coach. Okc definitely got serious hype back around their run.
What the spurs did was like the 2010 era Lakers, take a declining team and adding an all star quality talent. The spurs did that without tanking or free agency. It just doesn't happen like that! People don't know what to call the spurs dominant run because there is no template.
Well, looked like our defense was also over hyped. GSW offense is just unstoppable.
Cool thread.
kawhi fans
The defense just can't play against two great off ball players. Especially when there is nowhere to hide our pgs.
