GO SPURS GO
WAO i think some people is SO SO fanatic sometimes they cant analize what they watched, JUST a bad game. And that was all, a bad game for spurs. As manu said, kings played harder and spurs just played like a training day. Manu, Tim and Tony had an awful game and if they dont have a good game, surely spurs are not going to win. As respects kings, Bibby and Artest played GREAT as all stars, artest played a great defense over manu and we could watch a frustrated manu. But this is not playoffs and i like the idea about kings REALLY FEEL they can beat spurs in the first round, that`s good so that spurs can be focus and play a great first round.
GO SPURS GO
to this entire thread.
Better stock up on the ulcer and anti-anxiety meds because there is way a lot of you folks are gonna make it through the playoffs.
And to whoever said that every team should be disappointed if they don't win the championship each year - I feel very sorry for you, because you clearly miss out on a lot of good things in life if you apply that philosophy across the board. Only 1 team wins it. That means 29 teams don't. If you can't enjoy the great ride, the best record ever and whatever else they give you if they don't win it all, or better yet, in whatever way you determine to be the way to win it (blowout, more effort, more 'physicality', more heart) then you are taking it way, way too seriously.
I love this team. I devote a large part of my life to following this team, catching whatever games I can, reading up on them, catching shows they might be on, talking with whatever fans I can. But I'm realistic - if you can't enjoy what they offer without the ultimate championship, then that's sad. It must be a rough life for you, filled with little pleasure.
I realize that this is the prime time to win with our current squad. I realize they won't be around forever. But I enjoy them while they are here, champions or no. Spurs fans have become en led whiny brats thanks to these championships. Nice way to repay the team for what they bring to your life.
Now I'm sure someone wants to comment on the fact that I'm not a 'true' fan if I don't threaten to slit my wrists if they don't win. No point in it, but whatever.
Just think how great it is to be a Spurs fan, where every night you know your team has a chance to win. Not too many cities have that luxury. Can you imagine being a Knicks fan, knowing almost every game you are probably going to lose?
It's not the end of the world when the Spurs drop a game. It's to be expected. Every team in the league get up for the Spurs. Do you think the Kings would rather beat the Mavs or the Spurs. Which team do you think they got up for?
Like was said. Enjoy the ride of a winning team while it last. Who knows. We may have days in our future like the Knicks fans are suffering through now.
I didn't read the other 3 pages of this yet, so who knows where the convo is going... but, I had to reply to this one.
Us Piston fans can't be laughing too hard. We dropped one to the Knicks.
yep, that should make all Spurs fans irate over this loss feel better. The (mostly) goodwill between Pistons and Spurs fans here amazes me.

You have to keep your perspective. So the Spurs lost a game to a playoff team. Big whoop. It should be obvious by now that no team is going to go undefeated for the entire season. Shake it off, and get ready. If anything, the Spurs should learn something from what the Kings did.. you'll be seeing them again soon.
I couldn't agree more.
"Statement games" are highly overrated, imho. THe only statement that counts is winning in the playoffs. When the Spurs defeat the Kings in 5, that is all the 'statement' they will need.
True.. although then again, I'm going to be the "Big Hypocrite of the Week", because my Pistons are playing the Heat tonight, and if we lose to the Big Ugly, I'm going to be pissed off. We've pretty much wrapped it up, we just need to finish strong to get momenteum for the playoffs. I know the game doesn't matter in the big picture, but to hear Shaq flap his monster gums talking about how they're the team to beat.. I don't think I could handle that.
We'll see
I don't mind Shaq flapping his gums now that he is on the Heat. But back in the day with the Lakers, I might have had an issue. So I see where you are coming from.True.. although then again, I'm going to be the "Big Hypocrite of the Week", because my Pistons are playing the Heat tonight, and if we lose to the Big Ugly, I'm going to be pissed off.

I'm not so sure this team can get it done. The lack of intensity and mostly will to win just amazes me.
Mark my words, if this doesn't change, and I mean pronto, we are not going all the way this year.
I'm not sure of the answer, but how were the Spurs down the stretch last year? I wouldn't quite throw the Spurs under the bus because of one loss. Of course, if you want to forfeit and give Rasheed back his championship belt...
And Melmart.. what are you saying.. Shaq's in the East, so now his gums are OUR problem?
Back in the day of the Lakers, I just had an absolute hate for Shaq. Always running his big mouth. And usually running it to put San Antonio or the Spurs down.
Now that he is back in Florida, I don't really give him a second thought, other than I think he is probably the most overpaid player in the history of the game.
BTW Shaq. Where is that "ship" you promised those poor fools down in sunny Miami?
And Melmart.. what are you saying.. Shaq's in the East, so now his gums are OUR problem?
IT'S ALL SAID
I agree with that point, about the fans of a team. But as a teamitself, the mentality should be dissapointment if they fail to win the le. They don't get paid to half-ass their way through the playoffs because they don't really care.
This spurs team looks really tough. I doubt losing to the kings one time in the regular season is any cause for concern. This team is for real. Anyways they probably will beat the mavs again but I am willing to take the beating.
