Spurs Earned Respect Tonight

[playbonner15]

Everyone is heated, its all good...

Spurs showed they can compete and had their dirty player knock out Kawhi tbh...

I was at a food truck even in SF watching this game and almost got into fight with somone...I am proud of this team tbh

You're the hero this forum need tbh

2-11 in 39 minutes. He stunk. Allowed y'all to really focus on KD. Then Steph got loose in the 3rd. KD in the 4th. But when they needed him to play in the 1st half, Klay stunk, and y'all led by 25.

Like I said, if Klay shows up, it's not even close.

You keep saying this. Stop dude. That was a game 1 blowout by the Spurs.

What does respect get you? Who the remembers how well a team played when they lost?

this. that's actually what i was gonna say.

let's say the spurs lose this series... in a few years there's gonna be a narrative that "the spurs didn't win the le in 2017... but they were respected after game 1 against the warriors"?

people don't even give a about winning the conference.

if anything, the spurs were respected after winning game 6 against the rockets.

people who think this thread has any relevancy are being emotional.

i had spurs in 6. sucks kawhi got hurt, sucks we lost game 1... i don't give a if people respect us more didn't give a if people respected us more after we beat the rockets.

[YGWHI]

They didn't have respect; at least not in the context of people truly discussing SA as the same caliber of team as GS.

So what? You can replace Spurs word with Kawhi and is the same thing.

Nobody respects him, not at Curry/KD's level even when he outplayed them in this game and had a way better season than them...

You have to realize that small market team, quiet superstars, don't get many flashes.

[HarlemHeat37]

So you didn't already know all you needed to about the team you're supposedly a fan of and the team you're a fan of the moment of?

"Agenda behind it", aka spin. I can't name another example off the top, but I can see I've never actually see you admit wrong (and before you attempt to make this about me, I just did a few days ago). Granted, I don't spend half my life on this forum like you, with your countless "alts", but still.

Ya, that's what I thought And ends it with a silly personal attack when I literally haven't had an alt in years, but whatever makes you feel better, it's all good..stop being so emotional, tbh, it's just a basketball game..

[gambit1990]

if kawhi came back 100% and we still lost the series... no one is gonna be saying "well at least we were more respected after we lost game 1."

[LkrFan]

Longo IS coming

[baseline bum]

The same Chad Ford who had Darko over LeBron?

[dabom]

if kawhi came back 100% and we still lost the series... no one is gonna be saying "well at least we were more respected after we lost game 1."

He wasn't even 60% before the injuries... Why would he be 100% afterwards?

Also, nobody remembers injuries when discussing the championship winners..there are no actual asterisks..

The Warriors didn't have their rings revoked because Love/Irving didn't play..the Lakers didn't give back their rings when Yao Ming broke his leg after the Rockets beat them in game 1 and when KG was out for the playoffs..the Spurs didn't care when Dirk missed half the 2003 series..nobody is going to care that Kawhi was dominating Durant and left the game, unfortunately..

[UZER]

D'antoni, D'Angelo, De'Aaron. When will you learn?

[gambit1990]

not blaming anything on kawhi. at all. was just using the situation as an example.

[dabom]

But no one is gonna blame Kawhi now, and I don't expect him to play at his MVP level for the rest of the series.

this is the truth, 100%.



it sucks so much what happened today, can't remember the last time we've had such a devastating injury in the playoffs, let alone the WCF... if you wanna think the spurs are more respected to give you comfort, go for it i guess. you win or you lose, that's what happens... that's how history remembers you.

At least I provided one example. You won't even answer a simple question . . . and how hypocritical of you to claim someone else is resorting to a "personal attack", when all you do is make fun of people and troll, with your countless "alts".

I'm not going to apologize for being as compe ive as humanly possible or hating those arrogant pricks.

yeah, kawhi deserves no blame. at all. i wasn't pinning anything negative on him.

really sucked to him on the floor like that... hopefully he recovers

I don't know where you're getting this from, tbh I don't make fun of anybody and I don't have any alts, at the moment, I'm one of the friendliest people on this forum..you're just being emotional for no reason..

[Mikeanaro]

Harlem is my dude, but he has a secret appreciation for the Warriors that borders on fandom. I think it's because he sees them as the anitdote to "nostalgic 90's ball" and enjoys how the Warriors play style annoys old school players. Warriors are also trendy and Harlem usually likes anything that is perceived as hip and youthful.

Reality is the Warriors are a product of ed rule changes that have dumbed-down the game and were also designed to bring in more casual fans whose attention spans were too short to watch post-play.

He was really into the CHeat too when they were hip and groovy.

- anybody but Lonzo tbh

[LkrFan]

He said many boards - not jus his

He has more estrogen in his veins than testosterone tbh. It's expected.

[HI-FI]

Of course not son!

Who you rooting for in the Finals? I have a feeling you're a fan of the since I never see you talk much about him.
