Is anybody else as disinterested this year as me?

If anyone is disinterested, then they are not true Spurs fans. Fans, true fans, stick by their team no matter what. Win or lose, they are still fans. So, they haven't won every game, that doesn't mean we turn our heads. I hate all these ing fans that are ready to bail when the waters get rough. The season isn't even half over.

Oh, shut up. It has nothing to do with their WL record. Nobody's bailing on anything.

I'm not "disinterested" this year, but I don't really get mad and stuff over regular season losses. Frankly, we should be kinda happy if we don't get the top seeds cuz that way we don't have to play in front of lame ass att center crowds in the playoffs. And besides, we're better on the road.

I'm not at all disinterested. I have had a hectic year so I feel a little bit distracted, but I am having that issue with everything.

[Kori Ellis]

I'm never disinterested because I'm actually a fan. *shrug*

I'm more interested than ever. For the first time in a long, long time, Spurs fans should be able to see the light of the lottery at the end of the tunnel. I want history to look back on these Spurs as one of the best sports dynasties of all-time.

The Spurs have had a of a run the last eight seasons. To have a .700 winning percentage and three championships over that span is already an amazing feat. But I want more for this team ... and time is running out.

Sure, the Spurs go through the motions at times this year, but that's a byproduct of their success. In the regular season, Duncan isn't going to play like he did in his first couple years in the league. The coaches aren't going to coach like every regular sesaon game is life or death. The Spurs have been here and done that so many times that they know what the deal is.

The time to become disinterested is in four or five years when this team is under .500 and the memories of today seem long gone. I'm sure it can be equally tough for fans as it is for the Spurs because the regular season has lost a lot of its importance. The Spurs know that, their fans know that. That's why the AT&T Center most nights has the energy level of a library.

The time is now to cement the legacy of this franchise. Spurs fans have been given more amazing memories over the last eight years than most fans get in two lifetimes. But this ride isn't over.

Believe.

I think people are reading too much into 'disinterested.' I just mean that I don't particularly care to watch the Hornets/Spurs games on UPN when it's up against Lost or 24 or something else. Not that I don't care if they win or lose. In previous years, I would know exactly when and who they played, what channel it was on, etc. Now a few of them sneak up on me. If that questions my 'fandom' then so be it. But, I knew a lot of people would come out and say 'bandwagon' etc.

Nevermind the fact that I attended every single home game during the pre-Duncan, year of the ten-day contract - and rooted for the Jason Sassers of the world.

I fully admit it's because we're spoiled - we know the Spurs will be in the playoffs. We know they'll probably turn it on, and go a few rounds deep in the playoffs. And I, and most people here, will watch every minute of it.

But, if not really caring about a mid January game against the Charlotte's or Portland's of the league makes me not a fan in the eyes of a message board - I think I can live with that. I think people are trying to read too much into it, though.

And no, I meant 'disinterested.'

Nothing wrong with being disinterested. 99% of Spurs fans are one of two things: disinterested or dishonest.

Heck, the Spurs themselves are disinterested a lot of the time. Hopefully this city and team can wake up down the stretch of the season.

[Mr. Body]

The city, the fanbase, and the team have grown fat with prosperity. This is the end years of a dynasty and all dynasties end about the same way. Kudos to the Patriots to keep it going long after they were declared dead. Hopefully the Spurs can keep thrashing for a couple years, but by the sounds of it people are kind of sick watching this team develop day by day, week by week.

[Marcus Bryant]

What's maddening is that the Spurs are holding back themselves from developing their younger players and international talent in favor of older, experienced vets in their supporting cast yet are not fully pushing to win it all now. I'm not disinterested. I'm disappointed.

[baseline bum]

I understand what y'all are saying. It hit me last season, and I didn't catch a whole lot of this team's games, which I really regretted when they didn't go deep into the playoffs last season. For now though, as long as Tim Duncan is playing, I'm glued to every second of action that I can see. Anyone who takes this guy for granted is going to be shocked when he realizes just how much this team is missing in 5-6 years when Tim's jersey is in the rafters of the AT&T Center, instead of on his back on the floor.
