I guess that makes him a bandwagoner.
BillsCarnage, I started a thread in a SPURS forum. We have plenty of fans from other teams in this forum who engage in intelligent and respectful debate. You, clearly, are not one of them.
I guess that makes him a bandwagoner.
No, i said half originally. The Portland fan said 99%. Get your facts straight. before trying to quote.
still....Spurschick was referring to a single Suns fan. One is not a "large portion"No, just a large portion of the posters on this board. There are some that are die-hards and i respect those. I'd expect the same from them when i defend my team. If they/you don't then you prove it even more
you said half to 99%
fact is that most of the fans here are not bandwagoners or dip s. Just because you say so doesn't make it so.
Yes I do.
I have a larger one and a larger cropped one. (less background).
PM if you want it.
Explain? Coming from someone who has only had a few posts in four pages, come on. Seeing as how i'm the only Suns fan in this thread i think my posts have been respectfuld and intelligent, go back and read the whole thread before making what appears to be a snap judgement.

Yup, sounds like half to 99% of this board.
calling people bandwagoners and dip s is respectful and intelligent?my posts have been respectfuld and intelligent,
Right, if you look at my original post i said half, then in another post the Portland fand said 99%. I followed that up in another post with "half to 99%", thus combining the two into one. If you want to split hairs about it feel free.
Gee, I don't know ALVAREZ, maybe because opposing fans lash out unnecessarily with terms like " hole" and "STFU"...
I didn't name you, but will you deny that there wasn't a boatload of whining on a half-dozen different topics following Game 4?
As it turns out, Dre_7 pointed out that the call went to Nash.
Here's my original post that drew such ire from you. It has the quote from the post that it was in reguards to...
It was very convenient of you to ignore the fact I said "I believe this was called a charge". I didn't state as a fact, merely presented.I've seen my fair share of whining from Spurs fans here, so let's not stroll down that road. Yes, Manu's agressive on offense and agressive to a fault on defense, but he SLIDES under half his defensive falls. He's very good at it, but at least half are either non-calls, flops or should-be defensive fouls.
I believe this was called a charge, but note where Manu's left foot is.
Now, yes this is only one case, but there was at least four other times Manu ended up on the floor in Game 4. He is a flopper, but the same bias that makes opponants and their fans dislike him is the same bias that makes the Spurs and their fans defend him. That knife cuts both ways...
As for this being a Spurs board, yes and fine one for the most part, but I've done nothing at all to diminish this and in fact, several of my posts have helped in several threads.
You don't like opposing teams fans, that's on you. You don't like opposing teams fans stating opinions, that's on you. You don't like opposing teams fans pointing out flaws in some Spurs fans arguments, hey, tough chicken stuff.
Point is, you completely overreacted, not once, but twice. But hey, this being your board for your team I suppose it's your right to roll up the welcome mat.
Get over yourself...
Everybody has there own opnion and I don't really care but, these jokes were ing horrible. , on a bad day I'll have a joke a billion times funnier than this.
Come on, you're grasping at the air here. Heck, half of sports fans in general, Phx, SA, LA, Denver, where ever are bandwagoners. Your point?
The original starter of this thread called someone in PHX a dip . I replied saying that maybe the starter of this thread is a dip . Please tell me where the intelligence and respect is???
Let's go search for respect and intelligence!!!
You give all Spurs fans a bad name.Like i said, you give ALL Spurs fans a bad name.Suns have played horrible, yet barely loseSpurs have played amazing yet barely winThere are plenty of dip 's in San Antonio too, including this thread starter
My point is that it not respectful nor intellegent. You defended someone in PHX, why can't I do the same for someone in San Antonio? Oh but...that's different, right?
Are you also JMarkJohns? If not, then you are not the only Suns fan in this thread. I was actually referring to this thread and the other threads you have posted on today. It seems obvious that you joined this forum to bash Spurs fans.
"Someone in PHX" didn't have too much respect for Manu...he made it public about his views on new slang words.
This was all started by a jealous PHX homer.
I just signed on about 10 minutes ago...
I'm not Bill, Obiwan Ginobili knows me as he has posted a few times on a board I'm mod of...
BOth Bill and I post on AZcentral's crappy board from time to time.
I have absolutely no problem with Spurs fans, but when I present myself in a civil and respectful manner, I expect the same in return. I'm not going to tip-toe around issues that I think I can add to, but I won't be starting threads with "hey hole" either...
That, afterall, was one of your boards respect-demanding regulars.
Shut up.
Timvp and Kori own you. They are way better mods than you.
Ok, I just read this whole thing... and it's giving me a freakin headache.
It seems like someone's arguaing against a point that was never made originally which is just getting made worse by other people who like to poke snakes with sticks.. and on and on and on.
really peopel .. can't we hold out on this till at least after the game?
Man, Obiwan, what fleas did you bring into this house?
I didn't start anything. I didn't start this thread and I'm certainly not the first to call Ginobili a flopper (as even some Spurs fans have done)...
I posted a pic and presented an argument and you took exception and started the personal attacks.
I'm on record here, at AZcentral and the board I moderate that Ginobili is a great player. I refered to him as a cold-blooded killer for the timing of his great plays. The only aspect I dislike of his game is his flopping. While I have said I understand it's allowed and that it's even smart, I still don't have to like it.
Not everything is black and white. Just because I'm a Suns fan doesn't mean I'm anti-Spurs. It's quite the opposite, in fact, as I have called them the class of the League and picked them to win the le in the preseason, midseason and before the playoffs.
I've shown the respect of which you asked, yet have been called names for my trouble...Thanks for the warm welcome
Referring to someone as " hole" isn't exactly a compelling use of rhetoric or logic.
I do, think, however, that some of the Suns fans around here have gotten a bit disrespectful in the last 24 hours or so, apparently fueled by Game 4. Calling this group one that is predominantly populated by bandwagoners or unintelligent basketball fans is a heinous generalization that has absolutely no basis in fact. But, then again, you've been here for less than a week. Were it me, I'd wait before throwing around random characterizations (and I certainly would never rely on tlong's hyperbole to support any argument I might make) about fans that you've just encountered.
This is a good board, populated by good fans who care deeply about a basketball team that dishes absolutely no disrespect to other teams. Are there some bad eggs? Sure. But you get us all when you throw around loose generalizations, and it makes sense to me that most who are here on a daily basis would take tremendous disrespect from what you've said. If you can't understand that -- if you still think that your take is intelligent and respectful -- then you have an odd sense of character.
Jesus dude it was not me.. i am sooo clean...strip me if need be.
Again with the respect. Do you really get off on being such a top-rate hypocrite.
And Sparky, I've been a member of this site for 3/4 months now.
