What is the deal with Spurs fans?

[manufor3]

I skimmed it and saw that you are a laker "fan" born and raised in SA. Wow in my book that makes you a .

[manufor3]

99% of Spurs fans hated the Finley signing. STFU.


Nevermind the Spurs don't have that much money to spend.

Nevermind Gerald Green sucks.

Nevermind that the last time Wells faced the Spurs in the playoffs he averaged three points on 35% shooting.

Yes because without him that year the Spurs would have won probably 12 games.


DA ended up being salary dumped and then waived a few years after the Spurs didn't re-sign him.

That never happened. Although I will forgive your stupidity.


Thank you.

Yes because the Spurs lost so many games to LeBron when it mattered.


Knowing San Antonio's public school system, that would have been my guess.

Glad to know you approved of drafting David Robinson when you were two years old and drafting Sean Elliott when you were four years old. Baby genius, you are.

You strongly what? San Antonio schools apologize to you.

My thoughts are that was the dumbest first post I've ever read. And you were certainly born to be a Laker Fan. Trust me, you are on the right ship.

[jay014]

I will never forgive the Spurs for signing and over the hill, over weight Dominique Wilkins. I will never forgive the Spurs for letting Derek Anderson walk out the door because he got hurt. I will never forgive the Spurs for trading away Leandro Barbosa on draft day, of all things, to make room to extend 30+ yr old Bruce Bowen.


I hate the Spurs with a passion. When the Spurs win, you support 100%. When they lose, it was the refs fault, or LeBron was a little more physical than the Spurs are accustomed to. You get upset when players lose their cool because Ginobili, Oberto, Duncan, Parker, Bowen, and just about every Spur goes flying in to the crowd on a minor bump to get a call.

Oh, get this. I'm born and raised in San Antonio. I've watched the Spurs since I was a little kid and I'm 23 yrs old now. In 23 yrs, I've approved of very few Spurs moves. Drafting Tony Parker and Ginobili late.

Please, let me know your thoughts on it.

The over the hill Wilkins lead the Spurs in scoring that year 18 pts not his worst.
Derek "loyalty" Anderson is a dumbass what happened to him?
Barbosa was a prearranged deal on draft day something you and some other Spurs fans can't seem to get.

Flopping? every team does it. At least you won't have to worry about those Spurs going into the crowd and kicking some ass or going to Colorado and raping some girl.

Lebron wasn't physical enough in 2007

Born and raised in San Antonio you watched the Spurs as a little kid. So at some point you were a Spurs fan and now your probably upset that you jumped ship at the wrong time and the Spurs won 4 championships now

Why do you join a Spurs forum if you hate the team with a passion and talk about moves you like or dislike. You're a Lakers fan now who gives a what you think.

[baseline bum]

LMAO @ people who've never even seen the Shaw claiming Laker fan.

[spursfan09]

I understand that basketball fans love their home teams, but I've never really understood Spurs fans. You all are so proud of winning 4 NBA Championships. Spurs fans act is if the Spurs are the only team to ever win an NBA Championship. You act as if the Spurs are above it all. You all cheered as the Spurs re-signed to 35+ yr old players in Kurt Thomas and Michael Finley, two signings that further support my dislike of the Spurs. The both got multi-year contracts, at 35 yrs old +???? And Spurs fans were all for it. Nevermind that Ben Gordon is out there with no team. Nevermind that Gerald Green took what he could in Dallas. Nevermind that Bonzi Wells, who ripped the Spurs last time he faced them in the playoffs, is out there with no team. Oh no, the Spurs would rather signs players like Damon Stoudamire and Roger Mason. I will never forgive the Spurs for signing and over the hill, over weight Dominique Wilkins. I will never forgive the Spurs for letting Derek Anderson walk out the door because he got hurt. I will never forgive the Spurs for trading away Leandro Barbosa on draft day, of all things, to make room to extend 30+ yr old Bruce Bowen.

Drafting Tony Parker and Ginobili late. Tim Duncan was of course a good move. David Robinson was a good move. I really don't like Sean Elliott, but he even turned out okay. Oh, Steve Kerr and Brent Barry were okay. There were a couple others.

Anyways... my point is I strongly that fans of the San Antonio Spurs are bandwagon jumpers.

Please, let me know your thoughts on it.

You are a laker fan from San Antonio, and you call us bandwagoners? You lose all creditability right there. Have you even been to see a laker game in LA?

[TheMadHatter]

A Laker fan born and raised in SA is not a Laker fan.

[century]

Oh, get this. I'm born and raised in San Antonio..........Tim Duncan was of course a good move. David Robinson was a good move.

San Antonio obviously lost a ing genius!

[Obstructed_View]

I call BS. Huge factual errors intended to draw a reaction. Yawn.

[manufor3]

A Laker fan born and raised in SA is not a Laker fan.

see, when another laker fan says your not a laker fan, you lose all credibility

[Flux451]

Talk about bandwagon ya dumb . You were born in SA, moved to LA. Everyone laughed at your spurs Rodman jersey, so you jumped ship to stop the heckles.

I bet you have a celtics jersey too.

[kaponodynasty]

Here's a question- what's the deal with laker fans?

[Avitus1]

I might be wrong here but I'm pretty sure I see more Laker jerseys/gear when the Lakers aren't sucking...

But they aren't bandwagon fans...

[balli]

I do dislike the Spurs and even though I like a lot of you guys I do think collectively you're a pretty whiny and arrogant fanbase. Still, the OP was so incoherent and ridiculous it isn't even funny. I'll take whiny and arrogant Spur fans over know nothing, clueless Laker fan any day of the week.

[angelbelow]

lol

[Biggems]

23 years old....you are nothing more than a snot nosed punk looking to start trouble on this board.

you know little to nothing about the history of the Spurs franchise.

you know little to nothing about the history or loyalty of the Spurs fanbase.

you must go to school in the SAISD or NISD. you are the very definition of a bandwagon fan. I am willing to say that 90% of Spurs fans are from South Texas. They are the team that the fans get to see on TV on a regular basis and so they are easiest to follow. I believe the other 10% are military folk who have been stationed here for a while and moved on, but continued to follow the team and fans from opposing countries who began following the Spurs because of David Robinson and his global impact. We don't claim to be the largest fanbase in the NBA, but we are definitely one of the most loyal and sincere fanbases. So you can take your bandwagon Laker ass to LA and choke on the Smog.

GO SPURS GO
34 years of fanship and counting


I am so glad Wilkins played for the Spurs. He is one of my all-time favorite players. It was cool seeing him in the Silver and Black, even if for just one year.

We traded the rights to Barbosa to save money cause we were pursuing Jason Kidd. Kidd decided to sign with NJ, and so we lost out on the draft pick. It is ok, I think we managed to survive without Kidd and Barbosa and even passing on Josh Howard....how many championships do they have? Between the 3 of them, they have a big fat ZERO.

Robinson was a no brainer. Elliott was a great draft pick. What really hurt us, was the lack of a quality PG (had Dawkins not gotten hurt, he may have been the one we lacked for most of the first half of Robinson's career). Strickland was good, but a complete knucklehead. It is also too bad we had to trade Robertson to get mings. I sure wish we could have kept Alvin. Robinson, mings, Elliott, Robertson, Strickland and Willie off the bench would have been completely unreal. It also hurt us that Willie couldn't stay healthy (his wheels were garbage).

We love the Spurs win or lose. We support them like mad because they are not just a basketball team, they are awesome members of our community. They give back to our community in so many ways and we appreciate it tremendously. We appreciate the fact that we have players that children can look up to. We have players that don't end up on police blotters. We have players who try to be positive members of society and not a bunch of thuggish s bags.

Yes, we whine about the refs, but so does every fan of every team when their team loses. However, we also hold our own team very much accountable. We know that we tend to lose games at the FT line cause we shoot so poorly there. We know that sometimes we have stupid turnovers in critical moments that cost us games. We know that sometimes we get perimeter happy and it comes back to bite us. We also know that the other team deserves props for outplaying us in many of our losses. Still, the refs suck across the board and even in wins, I find tons of fault with how they call games.

WTH does going to SAISD have to with anything of it? and he is 23 so I'm pretty he belongs to no ISD.

[tp2021]

What's the deal... with airline food?

I am biased I am from that district.

Anyway its not a big deal. I loved your post, but I couldn't stop thinking of the SAISD thing

[balli]

at least we arent Kleenex Nones or allas Mavs fans

What the is a Kleenex None or allas Mavs fan?

And, in case you missed it, I was defending Spurs fans. If it bothered you that much, you should hear what I have to say about Jazz fans.

i wasnt bashing you.....nor was i calling you out.

a Kleenex Nones fan is a person who roots for that assclown team from the Kleenex, Arizona. An Allas Mavericks fan is someone who roots for the team from Allas, Texas.

you said us Spurs fans whine a lot and that is why I brought up these two teams....saying dealing with us could be worse if we rooted for either of these two teams instead of the Spurs.....

dont get your panties in a wad my good man.......

[IronMexican]

A Laker fan born and raised in SA is not a Laker fan.

He's probably one of those fake ass ones. that cheer for USC AND UCLA or cheer for the Dodgers and Gaylos

[jjktkk]

So since you put up a little nurf hoop in your room you're now suppose to know something about basketball or know how spurs fan are? Try to get some knowledge first junior before you start flapping your gums.
