How brainwashed is our local fan base?

[Othyus Lalanne]

Meh, I don't live in SA so I have the outside Spurs fan perspective....

The Spurs are the only game in town (like literally, there's probably nothing to do in that city except eat and watch the Spurs).....

That will lead to the majority of the fans not willing to ever question PATFO and we know the media is already in the organization's pocket...

But it doesn't really matter (fans ing on an internet board won't have any effect on the franchise), as long as there are heroes like me and others on the board that won't just incessantly slop up whatever Pop is selling, it'll be ok

At worst Pop is selling okay . Historically this a winning franchise and they will draft well. Plenty of cities would love to have that.

I criticize him a lot even though I think he's the GOAT

Best post in this thread. Nothing but truthbombs. The brainwashed fans don't bother me as much as the tier sports journalism in SA. It's the worst kind of circle jerk. You'd think the Spurs were three-peating with the way they talk so glowingly about Pop and the team. This is what happens when a franchise takes an autocratic approach towards the media. Say anything negative about the Spurs and you're blacklisted.

pop asign himself 2 positions in the team, other words surpreme ruler...his way or the highway...

due to his bs, wasted duncans prime years winning more championships with his questionable front office moves, let alone roster rotations in the playoffs

The Spurs messed up early in Duncan's career during the Lakers three peat. No way should a team with Robinson and Duncan lose to a team with Kobe and Shaq. The Spurs surrounded Duncan and Robinson with players who were just not good enough during the Lakers threepeat years. They needed some fire power in the back court to go with the top frontline in the league. They were too afraid to get Sprewell.

Spurs suffered a lot of bad luck during the Lakers 3 peat years TBH. In '00 they could have beaten them but Duncan tore his meniscus. In "01 they went and got Derek Anderson during the summertime who was a super athletic 2 guard that complimented Duncan real well throughout the season only to see Juwon Howard end his season.

I'll give you the Duncan injury but not Anderson. He just wasn't as good as the front office thought same goes for Steve Smith. Those are player mistakes that the front office made.
