Thank you, Spurs, Mr. Stern

[CosmicCowboy]

Thank you for spoiling the one thing other than sex that I enjoy in life.

Bad news.

I just sent your parents a complimentary copy of NetNanny so you are about to lose "sex" too.

[picnroll]

You have successfully assassinated basketball as we know it for a critical generation of sports fans. You took the last kernel of sanc y and e in a sport saturated with thuggery, flushed it down your corporate toilet, and replaced it with a bland piece of molded burnt toast. You've sold out to cronyism and this contrived conceit that defense wins championships. In doing so, you have lost a legeion of lifelong hoops devotes, including myself.

Thank you for the soiling the purity of a great game. Thank you for spoiling the one thing other than sex that I enjoy in life.

I hope you can sleep at night, commissioner. Enjoy getting beat out by hockey in the Nielsens.

I think I'm going to cry. Does any Suns' fan have a Kleenex left?

Suns are finished, gone, and probably heading into a steady decline. If sex is
all you have left, you must be really fun company.

you are welcome!!!

You're skirting the issue. The bottom line is DUNCAN DID THE SAME THING. Why wasn't he suspended? Give me a cogent reason, and I may just concede the Phoenix loss, albeit tentatively.

Um no.......

Duncan didn't leave the bench during an altercation.

How many ing times does this need to be rehashed?

Typical dependence behavior. Something went wrong for me, someone else must be responsible.

Champions dont make excuses. Calling the Suns "victims" is just pathetic.

Do you need a hug?

If you miss watching Suns-style basketball, may I suggest the WNBA?

Now go get a nice, warm glass of milk, put on your jammies, grab a box of tissues, and watch the real men play ball.

[ObiwanGinobili]

great thread! totally classic!

although it was dissapointing at the end to find out this wasn;t a real suns troll, and just a spurs fan trying his hand at trolling.
You gotta leave a little bit of the mystery!

[ObiwanGinobili]

and as to the Jew angle - it never had even an ounce of water. holt is way to cheap to be donating a significant enough "bribe" to the nation of isreal.

[zedman]

I should have known better than to delude myself with the misconception that I would find intelligent debate here...

You reap what you sow.

Actually Spurs' basketball is one of the few things left of the great basketball of all times. With jumpshots, passes, etc. Dunks won't get you any le outside the US borders. Good international teams would pick you apart if you'd based you offense on displays of flare and celebrity.

The spurs is the true all american team, not the suns.

[Agloco]

This was my favorite sentence in the post. Note that all four teams still playing (and thus one of whom will be the champions) do, in fact, play defense. So I'm not sure how it can be a "contrived conceit".

Or for that matter, can you remember the last champion that didn't play decent defense? My mind is heading back to the early 80's or even late 70's on that one.......

[Extra Stout]

Oh, you never know. Holt might be a Jew himself, which would explain perfectly why he gives millions upon millions to the Zionist en y, while depriving his impoverished fan base of T-shirts and discount hot dogs.

Spurs fans are like the Palestinians of the NBA.

I think my previous post just got forwarded to Homeland Security.

No free T-shirt for you!

[judaspriestess]

Proof you are a fraud. You call yourself a Suns fan and you don't even know your own players... Mav fan perhaps?

lol this sounds like another poster on yahoo who called stoudamire
Damon stoudamire

Yeah you are a REAL ASS fan aren't you

[reddog 99]

I don't know how spurs fans can defend what Horry did. Horry is a punk.

Horry reacted out of frustration and did what he had to do and sent a message.

He new we had to foul. With the Spurs getting mugged that night and NO CALLS from Javie's crew he said it.

What was it that JET did to Finley?

Do you see us whining about game 7 with the MAVS last year? NO.

Manu took that blame.

So please MAVS Fcuk 1000 just leave and get a life. Are not the Rangers playing or something. 7 weeks to training camp!

[Extra Stout]

No free T-shirt for you!

I get the jumpsuit they issue at Gitmo.

I actually had to go and read about the Rudy T. and Kermit Washington incident because I wasn't aware of the history. After reading that, it's no wonder that rule is in place. Rudy T. had spinal fluid leaking into his mouth after getting clocked. That's just messed up. If I were Stern, I'd fight like to keep that rule exactly like it is.

Anyone who thinks it's a stupid rule needs to read the story.

[saporvida]

I meant, Diaw.

And it is quite petty of you to question my allegience over a simple spelling error. I should have expected as much from a Spur(iou)s fan.

spelling error? nope... you spelt diop's name correctly but too bad you're just a bandwagon suns fan to realize diop isn't a sun.

[SAGambler]

The rules have been bent before to preserve fairnness, so why not now? Answer: Stern's bias.

99.9% of the world backs me up on the opinion that Phoenix was ed, so no matter what happens, the Spurs "victories" will always have an asterisk, and Phoenix will forever be remembered as the true champion.

Well, now we are really getting stupid.
I doubt that 99% of the world even knows or cares anything about basketball, much less about whether the Phoenix Suns got screwed or not. Where in the do you come up with these off the wall and of the chart figures? Do you simply pull them out of your ass?

, do a poll in China, Africa, or even Austrailia. See if 99% of the people in those places even know wtf a Phoenix Sun is. Or if they care.

Anyway this is beating a dead horse. If the Suns were in fact so goddamn good, they why in the was there ever a game 5 scheduled?

Face it....You lost, at full strength, on your own court in Game 1. You lost again at full strength in Game 3. And by all rights you should have lost Game 4, at full strength. Face it, the Spurs just gave you one there.

So what is it, in the entire scenario, that makes you even begin to think the Suns are a better team? Because your coach said so?

[easjer]

Thanks so much to all involved in the wee hours of the morn. This took me nearly two hours to read at work because of all the interruptions and I had to keep stifling my giggles. Some of the best ownage I've ever witnessed - too bad it wasn't a real Suns troll.

Good! Glad to see the NBA is losing another fair-weathered, me first, whiny ass "fan". Enjoy the puck and self-gratifying, self-abusing sex.

[ATRAIN]

I dont think we are ever going to hear the end of this from cry baby suns fans. I guess I understand I felt the same way after the Dallas loss last year. Get over it suck it up and try again next year.

[nkdlunch]

[ehz33satx]

Hear hear!

It should actually read Here! Here! I have read alot of your posts on here and you seem to try to use alot of big words, but you mispell most of the little words. Plus not knowing that it is Diaw not Diop that plays for your supposed team is a fatal flaw in your trying to come across as a Suns fan.
