    T Park- I know I rag on you a lot in here- as you do me but I think we are more similar than you think. Don't let the Walton character fool you.

    Have a good Christmas, all the best in 2007.

    Nice thoughts, T Park. I respect you.

    I think I speak for everyone here that we weren't angry with the Spurs, but upset with Sequ for jinxing them.

    I haven't felt like that in non-playoff, non-seed deciding games in awhile (except when the kings lose to the lakers ).....right now I actually want the kings to get a good draft pick and look towards the future, so missing the playoffs wouldn't really bug me too much.

    Some fans live and die by every game. That's how it is, and that's how they're made.
    I'm one of them. I'm over it by the next day usually. I don't see a problem with people being passionate in the moment, or venting. When you let it carry over is when problems start. If we didn't have an emotional reaction of some kind then what's the point of watching? It is entertainment, but it can't be compared to a TV show, or movie.

    I realized this last year when the Spurs didn't repeat. I used to be a crazy ass die hard Spurs fan, well I still am, but I would and and for hours after a loss in various threads in this forum. I remember getting so pissed off about games last year's playoffs, and in some 05's playoffs games. I still feel I had an excuse after that bull Mavs series, but it really wasn't worth it. I remember ing a lot after the .4 Fisher shot in 2004 in the Lakers series.

    I really don't care at all if the Spurs lose regular season games. To tell you the truth, I'd rather have them NOT be the #1 seed in the west. I just want them to win when it counts. I don't even think watching all the games is important until the playoffs start. Life is way too short to waste away valuable time. There are way more things in life that are more important than Spurs basketball. Well, at least regular season basketball. After a while I also realized that there are so many things in my life right now that mean way more to me than basketball.

    It bothered me when Tim Duncan played like he didn't care and was Yao's doormat and personal beech.

    It also bothered me when Pop decided to give up on a possilbe comeback.

    i definitely didnt lose any sleep over this L or the one last year for Dallas. If you lose sleep over entertainment sports, I think you need help. That being said, its fun to watch and talk about.

    Now, first off, I understand, this is a forum.

    We are here to discuss basketball.

    I don't discount that, and, I applaud it.


    Heres my point.


    When did the game, get so serious, that we take it as such?


    When did the game, become something that bothered us, that kept us up till 3 am when they lose, yelling about the coaching moves, the players play, the GM's offseason decisions.


    When, exactly, did sports become more, than sports?


    I promised, after 2005, not to let basketball affect me, to the point where it BOTHERED me.


    I let it last night. Its middle december, its a game against Houston. In my mind going in i said, what the , they lose, no big deal, they do it every day.

    Well going home, I felt disgusted, and empty. It felt like the Spurs had just lost a game in may and had fallen behind 3-1.

    The reaction following the game was nothing short of the same.



    So as I sat here today, watching season 2 of Boston Legal, friends and family over, laughing at it, it was then that I realized,


    its the holiday season. Were humans, We have a war going on that more than likely will last longer than all of us will be alive. Me thinking of the ramifications of the world going on frightens me. I will not hide my head, but, isn,t that what Sports was supposed to do? Help not just me, but you and others, stop thinking, about possible suicide bombers, nuculear warfair.

    So it once again gets me to the question, when did we fans, let the game bother us, where we let it get to a point where we get "frusterated" "angry" "fed up"....


    Not preaching, I know im not well liked here, its of my doing, I accept and know that, I won't ever be one of the "respected" ones.


    It bothers me though, to see some of the respected members here, let it bother them so.


    Just an observation.

    Merry Christmas, and, go spurs.
    Pretty darn good post there.

    Good job, Tpark.

    You nailed it.

    Happy Holidays.

    As long as we are asking what has happened...

    What has happened to the Rockets? They lost to the Clippers tonight.

    It's a new day....It's the NBA.

    Awesome post TPark!

    I know that I have a bad habit of letting Spurs losses eat at me. I couldn't even enjoy much of the 2005 run because I was so freaking nervous that they would lose, and I felt so ty after a loss. This past year has been a ty one for me personally, so it's been easier to put the Spurs losses in perspective, especially since I've had a real loss, my father back in April. That sucked bad, but I wasn't as broken up about the Game 7 Mavs loss as I would have been normally because of it. The one thing that used to drive me crazy about when the Spurs played so bad is that I couldn't do a damn thing about it, but now I use that to make it less of a personal thing. There is nothing I can do, so just sit back and let whatever happens happen. And this year I just have this feeling that something great is going to happen, I don't know why.

    Happy Holidays everyone and Go Spurs Go in 2007!

    The bigger question is when did Tim Duncan turn into a mediocore player who doesnt give a damn about the important things on the court?

    It cant all be about the ball can it?

    I'll second that... watch some Tim highlights from about 5 years ago and it will depress the crap outta you. The explosiveness, the energy, the one handed hammer dunks and rebounds galore. Come on Timmy you're only 30 and you're healthy!

    I LOVE it when we LOSE--as long as it isn't too often and we do well in the Championship run.

    THink how boring it would be if we won 82 games a year every year. Would your adrenalin rush get going when the game started? It's the picquency of an occasional loss that makes all the victories so sweet.

    Nah, it's the defeats that keep up our interest and the defeats by highly rated teams are the best--because you can work up a rivalry for our hated oartners in the Texas Triangle, the Mavericks and Rockets--but who gives a about the Atlanta Hawks.

    Whenever we lose to another good/great team, it makes me want the Spurs to rebound on the next game.

    Crush them and give them no mercy in the last two minutes, drive their front office staff into the desert of fre agency and hear the lamentations of their women and children.

    Now THAT is the real spirit of giving that we should all remember is this wondrous Holiday Season. GIVE IT TO 'EM, SPURS!
