Spurs controversial photo involving TP and TD

[YoMamaIsCallin]

It's a Halloween party. It's a funny bit, that's all. Cheesus H. Christ, media. Get some perspective.

[cd98]

I predict another $250,000 fine.

[urunobili]

lol Media failing to remember other games disgracefully ref'd by Crawford to add more fire into it...

[crc21209]

Damn this is like the 1000000th thread about this already....

[MoSpur]

I remember seeing some posts here from a Halloween party with the Spurs, but didn't recall seeing this. I read it by reading something on Yahoo. I was kinda freaked out that TD was in the pic, but then I started to laugh. Its a funny picture, but its just coming out again at the wrong time.

I don't have to tell you things are bad everbody knows things are bad it's a conspiracy against us, everbodys out showcasing mokeyball, the fundamentals are being forgotten, couple dollars can't even get you a beer at games, teams are tanking for picks, guns are entering the lockeroom, Punk commissioner are running wild with power and there's nobody anywere who seems to know what to do and there's no end to it.

We know some games are rigged, and some teams are favored, and we sit watching our tvs while some jackass commissioner tells us today which star players have to play, or which coachs team will be fined 250K for coaching his team as if that's the way it's suppose to be, we know things are bad worse than bad there crazy it's like everything everywere is going crazy so we don't go out anymore and instead complain on online forums, and slowly the game we love is being taken from us and all we say is please don't pay the fine leave our team alone, let us have our basketball, let a coach do his job, let him decided what players should play and we won't say anything just leave us alone well im not going to leave you alone I WANT YOU TO GET MAD.

I don't want you to protest I don't want you to ride, I dont want you to write to the NBA becuase I wouldn't know what to tell you to write I don't know what to do about the monkeyball showcasing, overpriced beers, rigged games, and favored teams all I know is that first you got to get mad you got to say im a SAN ANTONIO SPURS FAN GOD DAMIT MY VOICE HAS VAULE, so I want you to get up now I want all of you to get up out of your chairs I want you to get up right now and go to the window open it and stick you head out and yell IM AS MAD AS AND IM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE I want you to get up right now get up go to your windows open them and stick your head out and yell IM AS MAD AS AND IM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE but first you got to GET MAD YOU GOT TO SAY IM AS MAD AS AND IM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE then will figure out what to do about the monkeyball, overpriced beers, rigged games, and favored teams, but first get out of your chairs open the window stick your head out and yell and say IM AS MAD AS AND IM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!

There is a very easy way to determine whether or not this photo was inappropriate. If the situation was reversed and it was Joey Crawford and another ref pointing toy guns at someone wearing a Duncan jersey, how would SpursTalk react? Actually, I already know, ST would probably flip their . This may or may not be a fine-able offense, but don't be surprised when Joey Crawford refs multiple games in the WCSF against the Grizzlies. Wall Street investors have a saying, "don't fight the Fed." Don't fight the league. You won't win.

Yeah the difference is that we know Joey Crawfors is a nut case though. Did you see the dance he did calling a blocking foul during the Laker game last week? The guy craves attention and thinks he's bigger than the game itself...

[phxspurfan]

Damn really? Over a Halloween photo? Come on America

[cheguevara]

mother of god, the photo is on Yahoo NBA frontpage

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/;_ylt=Aw...3Rpb25z;_ylv=3

[jeebus]

Not really. I think jeebus said he found it on twitter.

Maybe an hour after the game started on TNT that night, I found it as a reply under one of the sportswriter's twitter (Hollinger, Woj, one of those). tbh I thought it had already been posted back during halloween, so I didn't post it again until the fine came out which I thought was an appropriate time. It got laughs that night but the next day everyone started melting down about it

[cheguevara]

I can just read the ESPN front headline: "Spurs players vow to wipe NBA referee off the face of the earth... NBA sends drones to Spurs practice facility. Guantanamo cell gets remodeled to accomodate 7 footer."

[jestersmash]

My bad. I had never seen it. I guess they decided to bring it up again after this whole issue with Pop resting Manu, TD, TP, and Green just to add fuel to the fire.

You're adding fuel to the fire by making the 10th thread about this in 3 days, thereby promoting public awareness of the picture.

Thanks to people like you and threads like this...

[cheguevara]

if something was to come out it would have regardless. you can't fight the internet.

based on the comments on that site this is nothing but a laughable matter. If NBA takes it seriously it will only embarrass them some more

He wants to be Ed Hochuli maybe??

[cheguevara]

and now the LA Times picked it up

ok so Stern will get involved again probably

AMEN BROTHER!

[Mel_13]

They'll both get fined.

[Killakobe81]

Come on now I don't see a issue. If Spurs were in NBA gear ...then maybe a thin case could be made but all I see is 2 guys on costume play threatening another

[DPG21920]

How funny would it be if SpursTalk was the provider of the ultimate leverage for Stern to go HAM on the Spurs and really light them up and make their life ? ST would have fulfilled it's destiny to bring down the world around them.

[superjames1992]

Tim Duncan looks like he's wearing World of Warcraft clothes, LOL. I do know he likes that sort of thing, so maybe he is.

[HI-FI]

hopefully they'll just get fined or let it slide. it's such BS. I can see Nazi $tern getting upset, since his refs are his personal goons.

I think the pic is hilarious, it was literally a spontaneous moment. Most likely whoever took the pic was like "hey we need a pic with Crawford, get your guns up".

who knows, since Stern hates our boring and professional image, maybe he'll like this. maybe he is thinking "there is a lot of nerdiness and angst underneat the surface, I can market this". I'm just trying to this.

[PingPong]

Why people say 'Tim Duncan is boring'? He has good sense of humor and is fan of the Punisher. He uses that knee brace and now this costume with The Punisher theme...
