Who gives a about the fans. It is about the game. And winning.
Suns have some of the worst fans on the internet. The Jazz fans for the most part are pretty classy.

Well based on the at ude of the fanbases you get an idea of what kind of fans both teams have. Jazz fans seem to be diehard fans that have been folllowing their team for a long time. The Suns come off as a group of casuals that jumped on the bandwagon around 2005. Not very knowledgeable and very argumentative.
So? Who gives a ?

you'd do a lot better to just stfu
Probably a lot to that. Nonetheless, disappointments are a part of life and if the only way you can deal is to trash your victorious opponent, then you don't deserve any sympathy.
Sounds a lot like of Mavs fans. I suspect a lot of their rabid, mouthy fans became interested in basketball when the Mavs got respectable. Jazz and Spurs fans have suffered through some tough droughts but hung in anyway.
1987? A snotnose moron...How many Spurs games did YOU attend this season? Let me guess...NONE!
Jazz fans have been a lot more realistic. It's probably because they've been fans of their team for a while. I think it's because they've had a few great runs in the Malone-Stockton era and they can appreciate quality when they see it.
A lot of Suns fans on the other hand have hopped on to the bandwagon recently. They don't know enough basketball to have anything close to a realistic view. I found quite a few gems lurking on Suns boards, such as:
- Pat Burke can be more valuable than Robert Horry; it's just that D'Antoni can't use him, otherwise Burke has the tools (I'm serious!)
- Horry's foul ranks among the most malicious and dirty plays in NBA history; probably because they weren't born when Laimbeer, Mahorn, Rodman et al were playing. They refuse to believe that in any given year in the 80s and early 90s, you can find at least 20 playoff plays that were more physical
- Nash gets fouled 4-5 times every play. I guess most of them don't know what a handcheck is and when it was outlawed. In their mind, if Bowen doesn't give Nash a full 3 feet of room, it's a foul
And these are the same chumps who proclaim that they won't watch the rest of the playoffs because it is ugly, boring basketball. The irony is that some of the passing that the Spurs have done in these playoffs has been jaw-dropping. But thanks to the media, the only attractive offense is jacking up shots with 16 left on the shot clock.
You do realize we probably wouldnt even have a team in SA if it werent for David...but let me guess...you knew that right??? Youre a joke![]()
I agree that with the premise. I also agree that I have found a great deal of respect for Jerry Sloan, both as a coach and as a person, since this rivalry was last at its peak. I can't bring myself to truly dislike him or his team, because I find so much about each that I think is admirable. I hope the Spurs win, but I think the Jazz are both a formidable foe and a team on the rise. I don't think this will be the last time we all go around this block and I suspect that in future years, things will be a bit more heated than they are now.
It reminds me a bit of the 2003 WCF. Mav fans were pretty tame at that point, relatively speaking.
Never, and I mean NEVER, cry about a call. That is ALWAYS classless. Take your medicine, unfair or not, shut-up and play! Suns fans cry about something, anything, EVERY single year. It gets old. But I guarantee you...they will find something to whine about next year too because they will exit early agan.
Suns fans aren't basketball fans. That's the problem. They're fair weather fans through and through. I remember reading this Suns fans posts on another forum. He said he only started watching the NBA in '05 because the Suns play this "amazing" style of basketball he's never seen before. LOL He also said he only watches Suns games cause every other team's too "boring". Typical bandwagoners.
I'm sure that statistical sample of 1 fan you polled is pretty representative of the entire group. It's sort of like I figured out that every Spurs fan is 5-2, 275#, diabetic, and works in construction. That's the men. The women are 4-11, 300#, diabetic, and have at least 4 kids before hitting the legal drinking age. I know this just by sitting in the parking at the SBC Center. Or maybe it was Gatti's all-you-can-eat buffet, I forget. Where else but San Anto would you have restaurants that serve Mexican food in one drive-thru line and donuts in the other?

I don't know if it's the asterisks attached to your team's accomplishments or just a clinical case of small-town inferiority complex, but it seems like you Spurs fans always have to prove to yourselves that you're "better fans" than everyone else. If the Spurs are winning, why should you care? Quit making asses out of yourselves.
P.S. Next time at Gatti's, instead of piling half a pizza's worth of slices on your plate, leave 1 or 2 pieces for me. There's a new pizza coming out of the oven all the time, you can always get more.
P.P.S. Try mixing in a public park or two. Also, highways that actually connect to each other are a modern convenience you might want to try out (see 281/410 interchange).
Agreed. Fan smak is as low as city smak.

Defintion of a Sun. A child who looks up and wants to be like his daddy named Horry who wears all the bling bling and whines and cries and needs a diaper change every time he loses. Oh! Wait a minute. I gues that is son. Oh, well in this case it's the same thing. (disclaimer: this post in and of itslef does not represent the true son of Robert Horry as seen on TV and merely fictionalizes the true wishes of every Sun player and Sun fan that Robert Horry was really their Daddy as is such the fact that he owns them like their Daddy at present, in the past and probably for all future.)
