I probably will. Refs control these games too much. Too frustrating to be a fan of a small market team these days.
Nope. I will endure our semi rebuild next season. I am looking forward yo continuing to see Kawhi's growth, what team they build around him. I enjoy watching summer league the draft. I actually like to follow young project players, prospects etc. Frankly I don't watch basketball for the stars, the team aspect ans team building is more appealing.
Silver's league is infuriating but I'll watch for Kawhi. Dude's special.
It certainly will not be the same watching the Spurs without TD and Manu there anymore. I have been a fan since 91 and we will never likely see players of Drobs, TD's and Manu's dedication, loyalty and heart again wearing the silver and black. I Pray for that once in a life time lottery pick or diamond in the rough otherwise the Spurs will never ever be the same team to root for. We've been spoilt Spurs fans.
no, i'll still keep up and watch the spurs, and i do get the clippers/lakers locally so i'll still keep up with things... that said i dont know if the passion will be there with duncan/manu gone, at least initially. duncan played his first game for the spurs when i was 5 years old. i dont really know spurs basketball without him
Well said. I've been a fan since 2000, and it was a great ride. But this may be where I get off the train as a die hard fan. It was really cool to see the big 3 get that one in 2014 playing such beautiful basketball. But that era ends this year it looks .
I feel like they might be holding us back at this stage in their careers tbh. They're good for short bursts, but we can't rely on them for anything anymore.
So yes, I will be a Spurs fan for life. Never going to stop loving the team.
Yes, I dont like scripted shows and idiots worshipping fake manufactured stars thats why the Spurs are so special to me, all low profile guys but Pop doing nothing about this drives me mad, he made his money and is an old man there is no need to take from nobody when you are almost 70 and loaded.
I dont take in my personal life so there is no need to watch something that is fake and manipulated Im not masochist.
Fan since 88. Nba is just ghetto ball now. Moving on to something else.
lol what a thread
wtf
+1
Feels like without Timmy and Manu (who basically won for us game 6 vs OKC in 2014 and that serious) the team's spirit has lost. Too painful to keep watching this. This season is the last for me as a diehard fan.
I'm a Spurs fan. I'll keep watching even if we're awful.
That said, if we lose this series, I posted I'd ban myself from ST so I'll have to find another board. But I'll keep watching to the day I die.
If we lose this series, its gonna be really interesting to see how Spurs tweak this off season.
Glad the cap goes up but paying 25 odd mill to this piece of back court of ours doesn't help.
We ain't winning without some tweaks next season, especially with Tim and Manure gone.
Only if Softridge & Porker are traded.
I might not continue to watch games live in the middle of the night, but I will remain loyal to the Spurs. Hopefully Boban stays!!
I have been a fan of the Spurs since the 70's. Got to watch (and even play a little pickup ball) with George Gervin and all that era's Spurs teams. Even had season tickets in the old Hemisphere/Convention center arena.
I pretty much only watch the Spurs now. Don't watch football, baseball, or any other NBA team. After Manu and Tim are gone, there is a good chance I'll be hanging up watching any Pro Sports. Tho, I might keep track of Kawhi, I'm not sure a Spurs team without Tim, and especially Manu (my favorite all-time NBA player) is going to hold my interest.
Watching the "Beautiful Game" in 2014, was perhaps the best basketball I've ever seen. I'm happy with that
WTF
So much butthurt in this thread
I didn't catch that self-imposed ban, Bill. Interesting. This series is the straw that breaks the camel's back for many, it seems. There is a real conversation to be had, for me, about fandom. The game being a rigged commercial enterprize, and me still wearing the merch. I think about it. Sometimes I just feel plain old silly. It's fun. But, I laugh at the mouth-breathing wrestling fans with an air of superiority. The NBAs inherent conflict of interest is an elephant in the room I don't want to ignore any longer. They are either plainly crooked or incompetent, neither inspires a desire to participate any longer. That last play where Kawhi's nonshooting intentional foul is ignored for a shooting foul on LMA that didn't even occur is disgusting. If this were a rare occurence one could write it off, but it just happens too often to the "wrong" teams.
Seeing Plumlee getting called for two screens against GSW the other night was equally disgusting. Watching what Green gets away with for GSW, and then seeing Plumlee getting called for one in particular textbook screen, it's just tiresome to watch and the game is no longer fun. Might be more fun to help coach some little leagues, etc. The NBA needs to put "entertainment" after its name. Seriously.
It's not surprising that some would see it as butthurt. At an astrologists convention, nonbelievers are ridiculed, as well.
Spurs got the steal of the draft and a dream free agent to revitalize their team and fans be mad because they might go two whole years without making the conference finals.
If you're this butthurt shouldn't you just quit watching today and say game 6?
Shouldn't you get your Chakras aligned?
If you think the game is rigged, why do you watch? Are you that re ed?
