Cleveland does have a rich tradition in Sports

[Corn on the Colb]

alright one time in 3 years, everyone gets lucky. The Bobcats beat the Spurs this year too

Well THAT explains the Cavs being in the Finals.

and they (The Spurs) have only been good since 1999.

I guess that depends on how you define the term "good."

Since the ABA-NBA merger, the Spurs have the 2nd best winning percentage in the NBA (behind only Los Angeles). They have won 15 divisional les and have qualified for the NBA playoffs in all but 4 seasons. They've won 54% of their playoff games during that span. They've won at least one playoff series in 15 of their 27 playoff appearances, have played in 9 conference finals during that span (including at least one in every decade), and 4 NBA Finals.

You'd be really hard-pressed to find another NBA franchise outside of Los Angeles that has sustained that level of success since the merger.

Hah...LMAO. That was great.

Thank you. I wondered if anyone was going to catch that. It was so perfect I thought he set it up for me.

UT isn't the only school in the state.

False.

when I said that I was refering to "good" as championships won, since this whole thread is bashing the sports teams of Cleveland. If you Look at the Browns, historically they have been one of the more winning franchises in the NFL when you look at the 60,70,80's and parts of the 90's. They just couldn't get over the hump and win the AFC

Those 60's, 70's, 80's teams are the Ravens now, and they have gotten over the hump these new Browns are just a wannabe Browns


Moral of the story: Leave Cleveland and Win a championship

Don't bring that ing into here. When was the last time Cleveland won a Super Bowl? Before color??

Boy you guys can dish it out but you can't take it!!! Everything in Texas is bigger, even your bull ! Win or lose, you still are classless.

After your team gets beat, you can go to the Suns forum and say mean things about the bad ol' Spurs. They'll agree with you.

because San Antonio is a hotbed for pro sports franchises. It must be that San Antonio is turing every franchise down on their plans to move into the city. I can see why no franchise wants part in your city, you have one of the best in the NBA, and you can't even sell out the playoff games. It must be nice to have no NFL or Baseball team and jump on whatever bandwagon you want to depending on who is good that year.

[TakeThat]

GTFO!

Yep, still classless.

I can already see the responses of the Spurs fans, they will all come back and say how they are a fan of some winning team of another sport from some other city, and completely miss the point that this started out as a rip on the city of cleveland, and San Antonio has 1 whole sport to back themselves up, and probably will not get another major franchise in most of our lifetimes. Funny how so many Spurs fans come back and say they are Cowboys fans, Colts fans, Ravens fans, whatever team it is that is winning. San Antonio has one of the all time best basketball franchises, but has absolutely zero tradition in any other sport, or major school.

I'm guessing this is your bed?

yes because all Spurs fans think alike.

Trust me friend....I was a Cowboys fan when they were losing too.

Are you implying that a person should not root for a team that isn't in the city where they live?

[bigfish22]

[Fillmoe]

just remind everyone what san antonio was known for before the asterisk season......

[JoeTait75]

Not sure, but I'm sure they'll be glad they won at least one game while watching Cleveland get swept.

Yes, clearly Utah was glad to win one game in the CF. That was obvious.

Jazz > Cleveland (Nope)
Phoenix > Cleveland (True, but irrelevant)
Dallas > Cleveland (True, but irrelevant)
Chicago > Cleveland
Houston > Cleveland (Nope)
Golden State = Cleveland

Have fun.

We will.

[bigfish22]

^ You tell me how many championships were won in a regular season. I didn't see the Playoffs shortened or affected by any lockout! We swept through the Lakers who have had your number forever, constantly beating on your asteriks.Why don't we just put an asterik on Bibby for his impersonation of a good point guard. He had one good series against the Lakers and everyone was putting him up there as a top level point guard, when in reality, he is the most overrated point guard in the league.

No way man, that's the old bird.

This thread is boring, I really don't care a whole lot about the Spurs or San Antonio and don't really have much against either, I just like to post to get a rise out of you fans, and it didn't happen as much here.

Oh well, either way, good luck to both of your teams, hopefully this is a somewhat compe ive finals so fans will be entertained, a 4 game sweep won't do a whole lot to capture attention.
