As a Spurs fan, this is why I don't get too excited, regardless of how unbeatable

[fevertrees]

TThis year only the Spurs and Thunder are capable, and the Spurs own the Thunder head to head.

[racm]

The last time the Spurs got backdoor swept in 6 they won it all the next, tbh...

[Koolaid_Man]

My greatest concern.

I'm not even all that concerned with the frontline anymore since the integration of Splitter and the acquisition of Diaw has elevated the Spurs' interior from weak to good, but I do fear the outside shooting faltering in a key game. Think Game 6 of the '03 WCF. No one could hit a in' shot and it took Kerr, who hadn't seen more than garbage time up until that point, to save their collective hides. I fear that same scenario happening, but like in '04, "Kerr" doesn't show up.

Dude go back upstairs with this ...No one..I mean no one outside of SA cares or gives a ...The, Spurs are old, boring, lame, the Hornets and Bobcats bring higher ratings for the NBA,...Spurs have no All-stars, $4 beer sold at the games costs more than the actual game tickets, Duncan didn't make the Olympic team further proving he's nothing but a TOSB, Diaw,Toothless jack, and Patty Cake are your recent big signings...Manu looks like in the Olympics and his bald spot is growing bigger...Parker who got his ass kicked in a fight between rappers is on his last legs and can't defend anyone to save his life.

I think we've seen and had enough of the Spurs...absolutely nothing exciting about them what-so-ever...they're like a fatally wounded deer, after being shot, running wild in the woods only to drop a few seconds later.

Two years in a row they've had the best regular season record and then fizzled out like bad or watered down Sprite....their last le was in 2007...they tried repeating in 2008 and failed miserably at the hands of Kobe...that's when e Lee made the now world famous movie "Kobe Doing Work"... 2013 is fast approaching if Duncan and Co couldn't get past Kobe and Crew in 08 what in the makes you think they can do so in 2013...

Bookmark this next quote from the legendary Kool...

"Even If Kobe Never Wins Another le, He's Devoted His Entire Career To Completely Owning The Spurs. If The Spurs Have To Go Through Kobe To Win A le They Might As Well Quit Now." - Kool

Kobe's a scorer.

[Clipper Nation]

Hey Clippa *aka* Nipple Nation

Your comebacks are about as bad as Avante's, B...

Long-winded Kobrick circlejerk

I'd respond to your myself, but I found a blog post that breaks this debate down extremely well, tbh..... http://cesc-pistol.blogspot.com/2012...be-bryant.html

Read that and educate yourself on a true legend, B.....

[Calispursfan11]

Spurs will contend again tbh.

why do you hate your own team so much, bro?

When I copy and past that Luck The Faker crap show up. I should have preview it before I posted. Lol

[-21-]

Tbh, I always get excited when they go on a roll... But I also get extremely nervous knowing what has happened before. Last year was hard but I can't say I was shocked.
