Word of the Day: Duncan Face

[duncan228]

Oh, and this is the best board going. There's a reason that people find it and stay. Their own teams boards aren't in the same league as ST.

find Gasol and Scola

The trolls of other teams bug me, not the fans. Anyone who's here to simply be nasty is a waste of time to me. The trolls that bring humor and are here to add something are great, but the ones who just want to rile people up I don't get. It seems like a lot of work on their part just to piss people off. I guess they feed on that anger.

I do realize that and maybe I should use more discretion and choose my words more carefully when I label or talk about the Spurs and/or their players. I mean, despite the diversity here, I guess I do have to realize that this is in fact a Spurs board at heart and I should respect that more than I have. Certainly, in this thread for example, I could have gotten my original and worthwhile point across without calling Duncan a crying , but I'd like to think that it was still a good point and that usually I'm adding something, not taking away. I guess I'll have to work on not being inflammatory while making my anti-spur arguments.

And yes, this board pretty much blows everything else out of the water.

And rAm, I get what you're saying about Duncan's high standards for himself and his defense and how he often feels let down by the refs, but I also, like you, think it goes too far sometimes. In fact, most of the time. It would be better for him and me alike if he'd just learn to chill out about the refs. As a guy who's disliked the Spurs going back to the early 90's it really, really does bug me. I can't help it. But like I said, I really respect Duncan's game and thus understand completely why it is that he es so much, even if it does make it near impossible for me to witness sometimes.

See you next round........We shall have lively discussion Im sure.

[sprrs]

Too bad, because me and millions of other people might have actually liked him and the Spurs otherwise.

Doubtful, because then you'd hate 90% of all NBA players and their teams.

ballijuana, a little more than a year ago even Spurs fans agreed with you on this.

It is a Spurs board, I think everyone finds it because of the Spurs, whether we're Spurs fans or fans of a team they're playing. But a fan of any team gets welcomed here if they bring conversation. Not being inflammatory will make your points easier to listen to. If you come at someone strong you usually put them on defense before they can even think to respond to your point.

Pretty damn good. If how accurate it was didn't disgust me so much I might have even laughed. Tim Duncan's great at basketball, but because of these antics, I have a hard time seeing him for anything other than just a crying little . Too bad, because me and millions of other people might have actually liked him and the Spurs otherwise.

Everyone whines and cries about calls, it's part of the game. If you'd watch basketball you would know that. Get over it now, it's really old, thanks.

Okay. I will. But did you bother to read the entire thread?

Tim's only really gotten whiney in maybe the last 3 seasons after his bad ankle sprain and plantar fasciatis, and nobody liked him before that, so you'll pardon me if I take what you said with a grain of salt.

It's also funny that a Utah Jazz fan calls out ANY player on ANY other team for being a crying .

Actually I was lying. I'm no Keith Van Horn fan, but when he was a Runnin' Ute I sure was. I was just a stupid kid, but I really didn't like Duncan ever, beginning at the time he was still at Wake Forest. So I guess you rightfully can take what I said with a grain of salt. The complaining doesn't help though.

In reference to AK? AK. I want him out of here.

8. The "Cheaters really do prosper" goofy grin face. Because it feels sooooo good to cheat and win. [From an anonymous Spurs fan.]

Tim also annoys me a bit when he lets the calls get to him and distract him from the game. But what I really like about him is that when Pop tells him "Stop whining", Tim follows. When he puts his mind to it, he can go through a game with only legit complaints.

Now what really bothers me more is when players whine after the game. I can understand whining during a game to a certain extent because emotions are running high. And there's still something that can be done to correct the calls (rarely, but there's at least a chance). But whining to the media after the game doesn't accomplish anything. One of the things I love about the Spurs is that no matter how banged up they are during a game, when it's finished, they leave it there. They don't cry to the media about the unfairness of life. When other teams do that, it's just weak.
