Really really nice write up.
I like the emphasis you put on the fact that at some point being the underdog drives your thirst for wins and relieve you from the pressure of expectations
As overseas fan, I can only envy what you San Antonians can enjoy and be proud of. Of course, we can take a holiday, apply for the US visa, travel to your city, buy a ticket and watch a Spurs game. But these cannot be done so often, if not once in a life. What a blessing for you to have a model franchise with legendary players and great management. Pop does look more and more like a dictator regarding player rotations but is still a good coach. Though this year they may fall short of contending for a championship, the team understands what they need to do, i.e. giving all they can on court and fight till the last seconds.
I can hardly imagine what it is like to have a sports franchise in your locality which is followed by fans from every continent.

Well done!
But..... MAHINMI!
Where is he?
Well ... I think Pop's answer to the Ian Mahinmi question was pretty telling.Well done!
But..... MAHINMI!
Where is he?
* Hear what he said. *
"Raising the bar" at its best expression, plus a great hope-lifting piece.
Congrats, Blackjack!
Believe.
well done sir.
it starts tonight. For everyone who is at the game, join me in being louder than all the damn Faker fans that will show up
I still believe
Well written. I can't be satisfied or content with this team playing the role of spoiler, but I can and will enjoy watching the remaining time left in Duncan's career. It's become increasingly popular to rip into him in recent years, but the reality is, all things considered, the season he's had has been outstanding.
Like I said in another thread, I don't see this season as the official end of the era. Next year they could conceivably have a better chance at a deep run than this season and if they don't, then let the record show that '08 was really the end of the era.
It ain't over yet, but it's surely coming to a close.
It's hard to see guys like Tim and Manu and a team like this, seemingly in their final throes of a championship era, being relegated to spoiler status ... but there's not much you can do about it; contentment's a word that surely doesn't come to mind. You take the bad with the good, though, and appreciate greatness when it's in your midst.
As has been mentioned, this could very well be the last we see of the Big 3. It's not inevitable by any means, but I'll be damned if I don't treat it as such and make sure to not take them, or this whole thing, for granted.
In the meantime, I hope the Spurs find a way to make a little noise and show realists like myself, and the Debbie Downer's of the world, why it's never a bad thing to just believe . . .
Me three!!!!!I'm on the Blackjack bandwagon too !
I'm glad blackjack linked this thread in timvp's reconsidering the possibilities one, or I never would have read such a marvelous take.
That's actually a damn well written article, and believe me I don't give that compliment out often. Most of what I read is mediocre.
