of course we tanked, so what?
Well regardless I'm glad they did.....and this will always be a reporters go to each season. Oh so and so tanking. Is it any worse than three guys getting together and saying hey we should play together or the state the league is in now? If anything blame expansion for the we have to deal with
First Take is unwatchable when the Heat are in the finals.. Some may argue it is unwatchable period but especially now.. I can stand it usually because Skip while a constant troll is a Spurs fans and sticks up for us but SAS is such a Hollywood D-Bag and can't stop kissing the ass of this Hollywood team.. And we get treated to every celebrity or pseudo celebrity around picking the Heat claiming to be Heat fans.. I tried watching this morning for about 20 min and it was nauseating.
You know how much of a clown he is when he literally said before the series that the Spurs had "no chance" of winning.Seriously?
It's funny in the case of Stephen A because about 4 or 5 years ago ESPN was done with him.. Cancelled radio show, TV show and had demoted and ultimately fired him from all his roles as a so called analyst. Somehow he managed to creep his way back in and I think thanks to his friendship with Skip got the cushy First Take deal.. Roaches always survive I guess..
Screaming A. smith rustling jimmies per par. He's said all year that the Spurs were a bad matchup for the Heat, and he's only switched his pick now to get people riled up.
He's got to kiss Lebron and Wade's ass or he'll be cut off. I at least respect Skip for putting the hammer down on Lebron when he deserves it..
He deserves to get hit with a two by four ...I hope he gets Herpes from a $4 hooker in his mouth
all that tank talk is just acknowledging how great Tim is. no one says that about charlotte and kobe.
Can't wait to see the circus around them getting melo and which of the trio decides to leave to make room for him. Oh and to see the wagon heat fans just shut up.
Supposedly I heard that Stephen A had a radio show that was independent of ESPN that he did during the down years when he wasn't with ESPN. He used his radio show over a 3-4 year period to slowly build up his credibility. Also he was one of the first people to report that Lebron was going to Miami. It was right after the decision that ESPN brought him back. First Take is really a show that they are using to market towards the black audience. If you think about it Skip is portrayed and as the stupid senile white guy while Stephen A is portrayed as the black guy who is more knowledgeable about sports. Skip like one poster said is already known in the black community as a great antagonist because of First Take. This in itself generates ratings among that demographic. ESPN knew all this would happen when they created that crappy show.
So what exactly did Stephen A say that was bad about San Antonio? Was it a Barkley style insult or just saying we cheated to get Timmeh?
ESPN in general is ed. The narrative they wrote for Lebron and the Heat--the Spurs have thrown a wrench in it. So basically every time the Spurs beat the Heat or have them on their heels they come up with some excuse for it. It's pathetic. When the Spurs win it's because "Lebron was gassed", when the Heat win it's because "Lebron is the GOAT". Like other media outlets they've gone from reporting facts to writing their own narrative.
ESPN and The Mickey Mouse Network!
God the Spurs weren't even the worst team in the west that year. Vancouver won 14 games. That team had no talent lol, Sean Elliott and a washed up Dominique Wilkins is where it ends. That team was awful without David Robinson. Carl Herrera and Will Purdue started. Going to the game must be considered tanking.
Only on Spurstalk does Steven A. Smith get his own thread. LAUGHING OUT LOUD!!!
I've said it for years. The only thing ESPN does well is college football. Everything else they do is to try and cross promote as entertainment. Bringing in celebrities during nfl games to talk about a new movie or show thy they are trying to promote. When they first started doing NBA games they has some black guy with dreadlocks that seemed like he just graduated from college and was the coolest person they could find to target a younger audience.
I would understand calling it a tank if out top players weren't hurt... Or if we actually got the worst record, which we didn't
Steven A. was propping the Spurs before the series predicting we'd beat the Heat. I didn't watch this latest clip, but he's a typical media type and he'll flip-flop on his opinions thousands of times over and just try to stay relevant.
you still here? lol
No. I come and go ChumpDumper.
If he said that, then what did Skip say to counter it?
I don't get it. Did you refer to me as Chumpdumper?
2 trolls trying to outtroll each other
ppl really watch this stuff?
it's like reading the NBA forum
Dude is a got for even trying to insult that even if the Spurs did do it intentionally.
Why? Because he, by talking about that, condones what the Spurs' opponent now did. Which is to conspire and commit tampering then band together in one city in the weakest conference in NBA history to make it easy to get to the Finals.
That is FAR worse than a cash strapped team tanking a season that didn't go well and featured their best players getting major season-ending injuries early in the season.
