You can call the Spurs boring.
You can call the Spurs dull.
You can call the Spurs no fun.
But you also can call them Champions.
I sent his paper the following message:
"Re Eliav Applebaum/Sports Writer:
Waaa, Waaa, I don't like the Spurs. They beat the team I wanted to win. Waaaa, Waaaa. I want Michael back, and Scottie, and Phil. Please!!! Huh? Please! Waaaa, Waaaa."

Enlightning.
^ that's beautiful. and this story is trash.
I'd no sooner email this person than I'd PM wolves009.
1. If the Spurs aren't great, not even that good, passable, adequate etc., then the rest of the NBA sucks.The Spurs aren't great. They're not even that good. They're passable. Adequate. Marginal. Boring. Insufferable. The Chicago Bulls of Michael Jordan's reign would toss San Antonio into a vat of boiling water and dance in circles around the chumps before closely examining the wine list.
2. Regarding the Bulls reference this idiot makes, yeah, yeah, and if my mother had a penis she'd by my father.
Give me a break! What a complete and total waste of space this creep is. I'm definitely gonna give that s bag a piece of my mind.
Let's see...exactly HOW many seasons were Shaq/Kobe with the Lakers as the same time DRob was with the Spurs.
Okay, NOW let's see which years Robert Horry won championships.
NOW, let's compare those years.
ing fact-checkers.
How hard was it for me (let's just say I was a writer/copy editor and not a Spurs fan) to go to NBA.com, click "Players", click "H", click "Robert Horry" and scroll down to see his transaction list.
Signed as a free agent by the San Anotonio Spurs on 7/24/03. (BTW, it's misspelled on NBA.com, not by me)
Now, just to make things even funnier. Do a search for David Robinson on NBA.com and you'll come across his historical bio.

If you're going to try and be controversial, you better have your straight before you do.
Thank you, come again.
What a f-ing dckhead a-hole! What a fcking blind, idiotic moron. He must've gotten terrible service at a San Antonio restaurant once and this is his petty way of revenge.
This bumbling dweeb doesn't even mention Duncan's destroyed ankles and his and Duncan's hardcore representation of their countries, having played compe ive ball practically without rest for over two years.
And did this piece of sh!t not watch the Spurs post 110+ several times against Phoenix?
Spurs are NBA chumps
The champs proved one thing: they're the worst of the best
ByEliavApplebaum/SportsWriter (Illegal AssBlower / SportsHater) Sound the trumpets, open the drawbridge, unleash the catapults and let the ranting begin. The greatest game on this planet has been tainted by the San Antonio Spurs.
I kept my cool (Oh thank god! Cause worried about you blowing up and throwing one of your huge "tirades" - wait, who the are you??)as the news media from 206 countries tried, unsuccessfully, to hype a mediocre NBA Finals series.(hmmmm... and yet there were 206 countries watching ... hmmmmmm... and they kept watching......) It felt more like a six-year old's birthday party caught on home video instead of "Clash of the ans" at the multiplex. (Your 2nd job is a clown for 6yr old's B-day parties... isn't it???)
The Spurs aren't great.(yes they are) They're not even that good.(sure, we paid off Stern to get our 2nd seed in the WC.) They're passable. Adequate. Marginal. Boring. Insufferable. (and yet NBA champs 3 times in 7 years..... wow they really suck.) The Chicago Bulls of Michael Jordan's reign would toss San Antonio into a vat of boiling water and dance in circles around the chumps before closely examining the wine list. ( do you have a patent on that time machine yet?)
These San Antonio Spurs are the worst NBA champions of all time.
(really?? With the best home record in the NBA? 2 Allstars? An Olympic gold medal winner? NBA All-Defensive team members? really?? THE worst?? . the rest of the league must be GODS. They all handed us this ring on a silver platter to show thier rightous greatness)
They're your 2005 NBA chumps. There. I said it. (well then it must be true)
Not only were they plodding, they had less intrigue than a Ricky Williams' journal entry from a wild weekend in Miami Beach.
Give me meerkats on Animal Planet. Give me horse flies mating. Give me paint drying. But don't give me the Spurs winning anything. (give me your tarred and feathered body being carted around the SBC by the Coyote for fan photo opps.)
And before I go any further into the rant, let me make this much clear: I have nothing against any of the individual Spurs personally. (ie.; this isn't SAS , you should take MY article seriously)
I enjoying taking unnecessary jabs at athletes making oodles of money for putting a little orange ball in a hoop, running up and down a 90-foot slab of wood and treating the rest of the world like a case of the bubonic plague. Cough. Latrell Sprewell. Cough. (well.... Spree is a joke. What does that have to do with the Spurs?)
The rant is all in the name of fun. (well that one comment right there makes it all ok. we forgive you for all the you've spewed thus far.)
Tim Duncan has less sex appeal than Ozzy Osbourne performing his metal rendition of "Let's Get It On." (now your full of . NOONE has less sex appeal then Ozzy)
Manu Ginobli reminds me of a sniveling Andy Garcia in "Oceans Eleven." I couldn't like the guy, even if he was handing me a roll of $20 bills for checking his luggage at curbside check-in. (yes you would, you get down on your knees and lick his balls right there) There were about 347 times during the playoffs that I felt like flicking Ginobli's ears. (what?? no shots at his nose??)
Tony Parker is French and he's dating Eva Longoria, two reasons to dislike him. (a. I bet your french somewhere back there - this is america. b. jealous???) It's freedom fries, right? (omg. no comment.)
Rasho Nesterovic looks like the Pillsbury Dough Boy was hit with an ugly stick. (Rashofan has your home address......) Playing next to Duncan, he still couldn't keep his starting gig from ... Nazr Mohammed? All "Rash" needed to do was stand on his tippy-toes and stick his hands high in the air. (so not only does Rasho suck but Nazr's worse?? and yet we won... and the two of them clebrated by taking out your wife)
The rest of the bunch? They're less distinctive than the wallpaper in the Chevron can off the I-5 in Santa Clarita. You think anybody's going to recite haiku about Beno Udrih in 20 years? Me neither. (at this point you had to look up the roster on NBA.com and it was too much work for you huh?? did you even watch the finals?)
The worst part of the whole deal? Robert "Big Shot Blob" Horry now has as many championship rings - six - as Jordan. What a shame. He's a schlub fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. He's played with Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan in their prime. (I missed those years where he played with DRob for the Spurs......idiot)
These Spurs barely defeated an exhausted Detroit Pistons squad that waddled through the regular season before wheezing and stumbling through the playoffs like geriatric gymnasts. The Spurs couldn't finish Detroit at home in Game 6, a game they should have won with their eyes closed, hands tied behind their back and Bob Knight screaming obscenities in their ears. (I think I can deduce at this point that you did NOT watch the finals. the Pistons where not tired the entire series, they were playing with all they had, they were a challange at we beat them at thier best)
Is that the sign of a champion? That's the sign of a reluctant, weak, undeserving champion. (reluctant? yeah, we didin't really want it .... we just didin't have anything better to do.) The San Antonio Spurs deserve the 2005 NBA championship banner like Mike Tyson deserves another chance boxing on Pay-Per-View. (or like you deserve a god public pantsing. thats happened to you alot huh?)
I like the NBA. (you don;t have to lie to make friends) Really, I do. (liar)And I love basketball. But I want to see more teams employ the Run-'N'-Gun offense. I want at udes, big hair, intense personal rivalries and nasty tomahawk dunks that reinvent the word "posterize." (the latter has just disproved the former)
I want Kevin Garnett, after posting a triple-double on the Lakers - because nobody outside of L.A. likes the Lakers - complimenting TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager for his hideous canary-yellow suit. ( and I go to Baseball games casue the best part is the beer vendors yells to the crowd and the mascot doing flips down the foul line................. you in '
I want less talk, more rock. (you have no idea what the commentators are talking about do you?)
I want the NBA that I grew up watching. (the '90's Bulls.... so that makes you 20??21??? please tell me your old enough to drink at least..) But what I really want for 2005-06 season... the Bulls to win it all. (I'd love to see that so you'll realize that Ben Gordan and the baby Bulls are not JORDAN ...a BUlls uniform does not a past recreate)
Hey, a man can dream. And insult the Spurs.

Great Point.
now obiwon dont hold back ... how do you really feel
this guy is a tool
lol, I knew you guys would eat it up.
The absolute worst thing you can do when someone writes this kind of crap is to email them ... that's what these types of careers are built on -- attention, good or bad.
If you take your valuable time to let them know how you feel about it, they know they got your attention. Best possible *bad* thing you can do to them is ignore them.
Although, he could stand to be corrected on the Horry-played-with-Robinson...just so he's aware that he made a really, really stupid mistake.

Exactly! Same goes for some of the trolls around here (i.e Lakergod, Wolves09)
hath no fury...now obiwon dont hold back ... how do you really feel
Most of this is all true. The Spurs are an average team, the Bulls would have beaten them 123-45 every game, in a 4 game sweep.
Don't even waste the time getting all upset about this.
This is the print media's version of a shock jock. Just stupid commentary with buzzwords to get you all mad.. and in turn, sending his article to your friends to read and give him more 'hits'.
I don't know, I get the feeling that this whole article was written tongue-in-cheek.
If it was tongue-in-cheek, then it should have been funnier, so he sucks at that, too.
No, I'm just pretty sure this guy is an idiot.

Well I didin't want to let it all out. I try to maintain some sembalence of decorum.
We beat the best 'run-n-gun' ever produced...and we'll do it again.
It's funny; he claims he loves basketball, but what he says he wants isn't basketball. Does he even mention defense? Tell him to go watch street ball.
I just have one question/comment.
Who the is reciting haikus about ANY NBA players?
ing Ay.
