For a lot of us here, it's great entertainment... it's not much different than hardcore TV series fans, tbh, the difference is that it's not scripted (despite what BRHornet says).
We all enjoy the different team's journeys, the highs, lows, the great and bad endings, etc.
It was bad luck. Coaching had a lot to do with it but even with the line-up we had at the end of 4th in Game 6 we would have won it all, if it were not for missed free throws and defense.
Timmy - 3 FMVPs, 2 MVPs, led his team to the Finals and took the Heatles to 7 games, almost won it in 6
Kirby - 2 FMVPs, 1 MVP, by the age of 37 will be out of the league LMAO
You've nary room, your Kobe rapedPERIOD
Boiled down:::
Kobe: 5
the tired old bag Duncan: 4
Bend over. I'll give ya a in' high, low and a bad in' endings.For a lot of us here, it's great entertainment... it's not much different than hardcore TV series fans, tbh, the difference is that it's not scripted (despite what BRHornet says

It's ing ridiculous, but I take my teams very seriously. I loathe the NBA (least compe ive league in America), and don't follow it during the regular season. However, I love the Spurs and can't fathom cheering for anyone else... Not since Dave, anyway. As the playoffs got deeper, I started to perk up and watched basically every minute of every game since the start of the Memphis series. For whatever reason, I could feel that this team was different than last year (didn't watch any of those playoffs, much less the OKC series). Maybe it had finally dawned on me that I wouldn't get too many more opportunities to watch D/P/G together, or maybe it was the fact that this team had some of the old magic... Whatever. I believed (
As did the Heat. Lebron? Wade the warrior? Allen? Bosh? Birdman being the consummate team player? Goddamn right. If you love the GAME, then you love what those guys were able to do, against a Spurs team that deserved it every bit as much as they did. It was as even of a series as you're likely to see, even with all the odds stacked against SA. I know,
Let me tell you, I've been fortunate. Literally every single team I actively pull for has won a ship' in my lifetime...AND, when I'm actually old enough to understand what the is going on. I suffered endless heartbreak with the Giants (Bay bridge/earthquake series, rally monkey's) before they became what they are today. Auburn? My beloved alma mater and the red headed step-child of the most dominant FB program on earth. Perceived as a cheater (understood, although no major violations for 20 years) and destined for the back-seat in the great state (
The point is, your team will eventually get there, unless you're in Cleveland. Stick with them and eventually the reward will come. If you're like me, not a bandwagon stick, the payoff will be even sweeter when that time finally arrives.
Why do I care so much about sports? Because I was indoctrinated by my (badass) father. Giants/Niners all day every day. I also played basketball/soccer all the way through High School. So I had to have teams there as well.
Why the Spurs? Well, I was born in Ft. Worth but I'll be goddamned if I'm gonna root for a got-ass team like the Mavs or a hole city like Houston. D-Rob was my first rookie card and my best friend on my 4th grade basketball team was a Spurs fan. Done...For life
Arsenal was a shot in the dark. Late 80's and I was fascinated by artillery. There you go. I'm not British so I can pick whatever team I want. Done...For life
My background in sports and a stint in the Army made me as compe ive as any mother er you'll ever find. Not a whole lot to fill the void once you get back from a fun-filled vacation in the middle-east. Ask DeadlyDynasty how much I wanna win, even if I'm in the middle of the pack and have basically no shot left in a silly-ass (free) FF league. Yes, I live vicariously through my teams, and it sucks when they lose. So the Spurs losing under the cir stances they did, when they literally had it within their grasp, hurts like a dagger in the gut. But they'll be back. It may take ten or twenty years (or even next year), but they'll be back. And if I haven't drank myself to death, then my ass will be in a recliner raising a toast when that Spurs team hoists the O'brien trophy.
Finally, I've got a ton of respect for the DD's, Joetaits, and DOK's, of the world. I've also got a lot of respect for the REAL Cowboy (

I rag on people here for crying over a sporting event, but if the Buffalo Bills ever win a SB I'll probably sob like a little girl--then I'll walk the Earth and become a shepherd like Jules from PF
i've always been an emotional sports fan. the raiders haven't been relevant for years, but they were a game out of the playoffs for the last 2 seasons (well, not this year, but the 2 prior), and i still remember getting annihilated in the superbowl, and the tuck rule screw job. i was even more emotionally invested in the spurs this year than ever before, partially because earlier in the season (and the school year) i hit some pretty nasty roadbumps at ucla and realized i won't be able to graduate this year, even though im a senior. that bummed me pretty hard, so i turned to the sports even more than i had in years past. the amazing season the spurs had really kept me afloat mentally for much of the year
sorry about the roadbumps. i've been through my fair share of bad in my life, some of it occuring during my college years, so my college experiences weren't always of the Hollywood college bs. But I did have some real good and interesting times as well.
In terms of sports, I love Niners but that's more of a regional/memory thing, just because I'm proud of the Bay Area and I have happy, pure memories of the Niners kicking ass as a kid. I enjoy the game of football, I kept up with the Niners even during the past decade when they were sucking ass, but I still am not hardcore about football. I think I enjoy the seasons and rituals the most.
Basketball is my favorite sport, and I'm not a hardcore sports guy. But I just love the flow and energy of basketball, it's like music to me, I could listen to music or watch basketball all the time. I like Spurs same reason I like the Niners, born near one and spent a lot of my life near the other. Plus I just respect the history and culture of both.
After Spurs choked this away, I've seriously considered stepping back and trying to re-examine things. This was a pretty brutal way, especially after I spent more time ever this season following them. I used to follow more after all star break, but this was a beatdown, and this is coming from the same who just experienced the Spurs get ed over last year, the Niners lose in the SB. so ty year sportswise.
I guess as long as I find something meaningful in both the game and the city/culture it's connected to, I'll keep watching, but after last week it's going to take awhile for me to get really invested again.
Stop crying Spurs fans. You guys are acting like the Spurs have never won anything. Boo hoo. Get over it. Your team choked. It happens to the best of us. Be thankful your team has won a championship.
You're actually correct, in a distilled manner of thinking. Doesn't change the fact that you're a got. Have fun at Target, s bag
Poor little Spurs fan. Butthurt over 4 out of 5. Spoiled much?
Precisely why I'm not too pissed about the outcome. It sucks, tbh, but it's not the end of the world...Unlike your dead-end gig at a retailer.Poor little Spurs fan. Butthurt over 4 out of 5. Spoiled much?
to me football and basketball are 1a and 1b. but due to their relevancy, my attachment to the spurs and their players >>> the raiders and their players.
as far as the school thing, it was the shock value that really got to me. not too worried about it long term. know ill get my done anyway, but thnx
Butthurt Spurs fans have to resort to bashing my ty minion job. So sad so sad.
My only advice for Spurs fans is to take their broken wings...and learn to fly again learn to live so free
It's called BIRGing (basking in reflected glory).

Most first world folks live vicariously tbh. Unfortunately, perspective isn't a particularly strong trait amongst the masses.
Just to clarify out discussion about generations, people like gaycob are sad stains on generation Y as they have no initiative to better themselves.
I have no defense for millennials like him
I've urged him to quit that and start a new life for himself, in a sincere and heartful manner, but he remains at the job and I believe there must be reasons behind it. Maybe he's stuck in a direly abominable situation where he had to continue working there, and I have total sympathy on himJust to clarify out discussion about generations, people like gaycob are sad stains on generation Y as they have no initiative to better themselves.

And i don't see the joy in dropping those terse comments on my Jacob. The banal jokes are getting old and they're not funny at all. It may always be fun for your guys to gloat on other people's misfortune, Mr. descendant of Shylock, but my is still young and he will have many chances to turn things around. Those who laugh last laugh longest, in my opinion
