Just a reminder to appreciate what we have.

For as long as I was a Spurs fan I only vaguely remember a couple of seasons when the Spurs were a bad team. I think maybe two seasons in the mid 80's when Alvin Robertson was their main player. Other than that they were a playoff caliber team and I don't even count the year before Duncan was drafted because guys were injured that year. I'm very glad to be a fan of this team.

Well, I can somewhat see having your point of view. In the grand scheme of things...there are more important things for which we should show appreciation and gra ude! Right? A place to call home. Food to eat on a somewhat regular basis. Perhaps a job or welfare system to provide some income. Reasonably good health. Maybe some good music or great works of art. These things may not necessarily apply for each person reading this, but these are some of the more important things to consider. Showing appreciation for a basketball team may pale in comparison to some other life choices and provisions. Therefore, when several community message boards or threads declare appreciation for a local basketball team like the Spurs, it might get tiresome to a few souls. Yeah, I can see how you might feel tired of the repe ion about the team you follow and support, Spur-Addict.

It's more about the general concept that the majority of people following the team have an appreciation for what they've done since their inception. I have a lot of respect for the fan base for the most part, so I assume this as a basic aspect of most Spur fans. Some don't perhaps, and maybe they need some kind of do-gooder reminder, so why frown upon the positive? So, it seems a little redundant, but there's nothing wrong with redundancy I guess. Some people like to sit around camp fires and reminisce and hug each other and think about the good times, I'm just not that type of person. And it wouldn't be terrible if it didn't happen periodically throughout the year several times, and I guess I could've just decided to not respond. But this time I did, and it's my opinion.

Maybe I was a bit harsh, and I can understand that point of view. We are a gracious bunch, but, have some dignity. There's a point at which being overly gracious removes it, IMO.

Didn't we have enough of these threads from 07-13?

Coaches mean more than money, which is why the Spurs are elite and the ducks aren't.

Mot Spurs fans take it all for granted. It' hard not to.
