Spurs play boring baketball...blah..blah..blah...

[mabber]

So we agree then that Spurs are boring?

Btw - Show me a great Duncan block since your NEW argument is that defensive plays are exciting (even thought the spurs don't even average many steals or blocks).
Oh...and Duncan doesn't throw down great dunks anymore???

Feel free to find me your favorite Duncan play EVER!!! Rookie year if you want!!

I've seen some "great" Duncan blocks just in the last month. He's so efficient at it when he blocks one that the ball stays in play (see Bill Russell) so it might not be flashy but it's what I'd consider "great".

One way basketball is boring to me. Sorry that you come onto a message board spouting ignorant opinion as fact and arguing when someone else has a different view. You are still looking for highlights of individual plays? Go watch the all-star game until Sunday. You'll then be fed a steady diet of great plays over the next five games as your team gets stomped. I look forward to your quiet departure out a side door like the Mavs and Nuggets fans before you.

But watch whatever you want. Some people like Jerry Springer, too.

Again...if I think Duncan is boring, then I must only like all-star games and Jerry Springer?

Why is it that people like Magic, Bird, Garnett, Pippen, Jordan etc. etc. never got the boring label and Duncan does???

Is it because everyone outside of San Antonio only likes All star games and Jerry Springer?

btw - I can't tell you the Spurs won't beat the Suns. Im not a vodoo fortune teller.

But i can tell you that win or lose, the Spurs will still be boring.

[Davidicus]

This is probably true for the following reason...The core fan base of all teams have a good knowledge of basketball. The Spurs probably have a bigger core fan base since it's the only pro team in town. Basically, there are just more hoops fans in San Antonio so there are going to be more fans that follow the game more closely. I would speculate it being similar for Jazz fans. If it's the only game in town you generally end up learning more about it even if you're not trying to. This is what I believe anyway.

wow....from a mavs fan?!? But yeah youre exactly right. Over the past decade of having only one basketball team with the big fundamental as your star, winning 3 championships, I think SA has grown to really appreciate the game.

That must be it. Duncan's boring, just because someone said it. You bring immense basketball knowledge into this forum; you should be extraordinarily proud of yourself.

Garnett. LOL. I'm sure watching him sit on his couch watching the playoffs is riveting.

Yeah boring! AND 2007 NBA Champions!
Substance over style, buddy! substance over style!

Yeah, okay. Go to Youtube and download me a highlight of it.

[my2sons]

wow, i can't wait to hear studdermyer, stoddlcrier, notadmired...amare proclaim how he is dominating (by design) the spurs while losing basketball games. its funny how the boring trend as you call it is to let the superstar dominate and work the rest of the team. I guess it will be boring to see tony and manu run with phoenix, because if i recall the spurs beat you at your own game when we last met in the playoffs, the only difference was our guys play d. amare may dominate on offense but defensively he is non existent. he will get that great block into the 8th row celebrate pose, while tdunc will boringly block a shot to himself or a teamate and take it down court for that boring bank, layup or three. ya your right 95 pts per game boring. whats boring is that the spurs d take high scoring teams out of their offense, boredom is mistaken for frustration. so let the frustration begin, this will be a fun series.

Why does it matter?

All that matters is winning. If one is more focused on the style of a team's play instead of the result of that team's play, then they are a fool.

Fixed.

D-E-F-E-N-S-E


Humdrum refers to what is commonplace, trivial, or unexcitingly routine: example : winning CHAMPIONSHIPS

Hey Cornbread...your nickname wouldn't have anything to do with Cedrick "Cornbread" Maxwell would it? I played high school ball in Boston when Cornbread was on on the Celtics (1979-80). He was my favorite Celtic.

I'm amazed that people are entertained by guys running up and down the floor hitting jump shots and NO DEFENSE. If that's your idea of entertainment, you should just go down to your local Dave and Busters. They have a basketball machine where you can make shot after shot, without any interference from those pesky defenders.

[DarrinS]

By the way, the most entertaining NBA Finals of the last DECADE was the 2005 Spurs/Pistons.

[shelshor]

Hey I remember you, you're the guy that ed about us bringing up Amare's pushups from two years ago. The good new is, we don't have to use the two years ago ones anymore cause he did it again

When did he do it?
I'm not doubting that he did it again; would just like to know so I can have a date when the subject comes up again

[itzsoweezee]

LMFAO if you REALLY believe that as a Spurs fan you inherently have a greater knowledge of basketball.

Ive heard THIS argument before...

"If you don't like Spurs basketball than you don't know basketball and you only like And 1/All Star game blah blah blah blah"

Or how bout "People call the spurs boring cuz they don't get in trouble and don't have thugs and are nice guys".

Well Jordan, Magic and Bird stayed out of trouble and were nice guys and they still weren't boring.

The Bulls played great defense and they still weren't boring.

The Shaq/Bryant Lakers played defense and they still weren't boring.

, even the Rockets were more fun to watch. Hakeem was amazing. INSPIRING!!!! Can't say the same thing about Duncan.

But what gets me the most is the way Spurs fans act like a bunch of jerks anytime anyone calls their team out.

uh, no. the bulls and lakers were boring. they just had the star power and the occasional amazing play from bryant or jordan.

[samikeyp]

But what gets me the most is the way Spurs fans act like a bunch of jerks anytime anyone calls their team out.

its about as annoying as someone assuming all Spurs fans act alike.

My original question stands though. What does it matter what style a team plays as long as they win championships?

I wish my nickname was related to a baller. My friend's grandfather started calling me Cornbread when I was 10 years old. Not very sure why. 15 years later it's still sticks.
