Do you think we gained any fans saturday?

i think that where i work, they always root for whoever the Spurs face. That was annoying during my first six months, but i got them in the end.

hopefully my officemates are wrong this year too. (they all bet phoenix wins)

I was just thinkin maybe the way we came back in such stunning fashion and the balls and emotion that tim and the guys showed, maybe we won over some fans that were previously "on the fence" as far as the spurs go.
If not i guess we are even more hated goin in to tonight. I kinda like bein the bad guys

you know what we don't need those part-timers fans, we are fine the way we are

I wrote a response to Henry Abbott yesterday about the editorial choices involved in selecting that e-mail from Isaac to include in his bullets about the Spurs/Suns series. In that process, I explained to him (whether he cares or not) that "my enjoyment of this team [the Spurs] grows with the knowledge that they are basically despised beyond their own fanbase. It’s as though I’m privy to this wonderful secret that nobody else can really get their arms around."

At this point, I don't care if anyone else likes the Spurs or not. I take umbrage with those who suggest that the Spurs successes have been given to them or are otherwise unearned (ala Isaac's infamous e-mail to Abbott) but, frankly, if people choose to dislike the Spurs -- no matter how irrational their reasons for disliking the Spurs might be -- I'm cool with that. It's gotten kind of fun to root for a team that pisses off the rest of the world.
