Suns fans getting sick of themselves

[BlackFlagg]

And yet I just easily OWNED every Spurs fan on this board.

You've never "owned" anything, little boy -- especially a championship!

It'd be nice if all of you would stop referring to da_suns_fan as "all Suns fans."

The majority of Suns fans in this topic (in fact, I think there's only been one in here who's caused problems) seem over it, have accepted the loss, and are ready to move on and look to next year.

On most Suns boards that I visit, 99% of all discussion is about this year's draft, possible trade ideas, our new GM Steve Kerr, how to get rid of Marcus Banks, etc. For the most part, the only time I see ing about this year's 2nd round is when I visit Spurstalk, or the occasional topic on ASFN. And even then, the majority of us seem to be over it, while there are still a few stragglers who truly believe that we were robbed.

In general, the members of this forum greatly exaggerate the whining from the Suns organization. Though Amare did complain more than usual, the rest of the ing came from the sports media, from sports writers all over the country who wanted to see the Suns advance. You just equate these sports writers with the Suns and their fans because they supported Phoenix and bashed David Stern's decision. You also equate trolls with Suns fans, but you ignore the fact that every fanbase has trolls. These only represent a small fraction of our fanbase, but yet you still group people like JMark, LavaLamp, OldDirtMcGirt, and I with them. It's really ing annoying.

The NBA has never had success marketing anything but big-market teams with identifiable superstars to the casual fan. Never. Unless the Celtics, Sixers, Knicks, Lakers, or Bulls are cometing for les, the NBA is a marginal league, and that always has been true. No casual fan is ever going to care about the nuances of any sport. Ever.

You are more likely to find casual fans who think the only reason Tim Duncan has four rings to Kevin Garnett's zero, is because of a conspiracy to restrain expressive black people, than you are to find casual fans who have any idea what a "soft double" is.

Prepare to be owned...

in 1994, Houston and New York (by far the biggest market in the country) generated a 12.4 during a seveng game series..

The next year, that same Houston team went up against the tiny market of Orlando and the ratings shot up to a 13.9 in a four game sweep.

Orlando was actually the league's biggest draw during Jordan's baseball career.

Do Spurs fans REALLY believe the garbage they spew to one another?

Neilsen boxes, market sizes, ABC's poor marketing department blah blah blah.......

None of these stupid arguments hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.

Let me clarify here are you seriously going to tell me that the Suns would have meant big ratings for the finals? Did you fall asleep and when you woke the up the Suns moved to LA and were suddenly the Lakers? Check the ratings for the 05 and 06 finals. Not great but better because the finals were compe ive. Spurs/Pistons ratings were much better because it was a good series. Game 7 was an 11.9 buddy. The Suns sweeping the CAVS WOULD NOT HAVE MADE MUCH DIFFERENCE IN THE RATINGS!!!!

The S0ns wouldn't have even made the Finals. The Jazz would take them in 6.

Stern is out to screw the Suns
cuz he don't like the run 'n gun
He's afraid of excitement
That's why Spurs are dominant
Stern got rid of Joey C
Cuz Joey threw out Timmy D
Tell me now just how that be?
Cuz Stern loves Timmy's what I see

And Tell me how the Hawks pick third
It was rigged, that's what I heard
Cuz Stern is out to screw the Suns
Cuz he likes to have no fun
And he protects his San Anton'
Then cancels on his trip to 'Zon
when he Suspends Amare
Looks like a screw job to me
