What is the deal with Spurs fans?

[brianl85]

I understand that basketball fans love their home teams, but I've never really understood Spurs fans. You all are so proud of winning 4 NBA Championships. Spurs fans act is if the Spurs are the only team to ever win an NBA Championship. You act as if the Spurs are above it all. You all cheered as the Spurs re-signed to 35+ yr old players in Kurt Thomas and Michael Finley, two signings that further support my dislike of the Spurs. The both got multi-year contracts, at 35 yrs old +???? And Spurs fans were all for it. Nevermind that Ben Gordon is out there with no team. Nevermind that Gerald Green took what he could in Dallas. Nevermind that Bonzi Wells, who ripped the Spurs last time he faced them in the playoffs, is out there with no team. Oh no, the Spurs would rather signs players like Damon Stoudamire and Roger Mason. I will never forgive the Spurs for signing and over the hill, over weight Dominique Wilkins. I will never forgive the Spurs for letting Derek Anderson walk out the door because he got hurt. I will never forgive the Spurs for trading away Leandro Barbosa on draft day, of all things, to make room to extend 30+ yr old Bruce Bowen.


I hate the Spurs with a passion. When the Spurs win, you support 100%. When they lose, it was the refs fault, or LeBron was a little more physical than the Spurs are accustomed to. You get upset when players lose their cool because Ginobili, Oberto, Duncan, Parker, Bowen, and just about every Spur goes flying in to the crowd on a minor bump to get a call.

Oh, get this. I'm born and raised in San Antonio. I've watched the Spurs since I was a little kid and I'm 23 yrs old now. In 23 yrs, I've approved of very few Spurs moves. Drafting Tony Parker and Ginobili late. Tim Duncan was of course a good move. David Robinson was a good move. I really don't like Sean Elliott, but he even turned out okay. Oh, Steve Kerr and Brent Barry were okay. There were a couple others.

Anyways... my point is I strongly that fans of the San Antonio Spurs are bandwagon jumpers.

Please, let me know your thoughts on it.

99% of Spurs fans hated the Finley signing. STFU.

Nevermind that Ben Gordon is out there with no team.

Nevermind the Spurs don't have that much money to spend.

Nevermind that Gerald Green took what he could in Dallas.

Nevermind Gerald Green sucks.

Nevermind that Bonzi Wells, who ripped the Spurs last time he faced them in the playoffs, is out there with no team.

Nevermind that the last time Wells faced the Spurs in the playoffs he averaged three points on 35% shooting.

I will never forgive the Spurs for signing and over the hill, over weight Dominique Wilkins.

Yes because without him that year the Spurs would have won probably 12 games.

I will never forgive the Spurs for letting Derek Anderson walk out the door because he got hurt.

DA ended up being salary dumped and then waived a few years after the Spurs didn't re-sign him.

I will never forgive the Spurs for trading away Leandro Barbosa on draft day, of all things, to make room to extend 30+ yr old Bruce Bowen.

That never happened. Although I will forgive your stupidity.

I hate the Spurs with a passion.

Thank you.

When the Spurs win, you support 100%. When they lose, it was the refs fault, or LeBron was a little more physical than the Spurs are accustomed to.

Yes because the Spurs lost so many games to LeBron when it mattered.

Oh, get this. I'm born and raised in San Antonio.

Knowing San Antonio's public school system, that would have been my guess.

I've watched the Spurs since I was a little kid and I'm 23 yrs old now. In 23 yrs, I've approved of very few Spurs moves. David Robinson was a good move. I really don't like Sean Elliott, but he even turned out okay.

Glad to know you approved of drafting David Robinson when you were two years old and drafting Sean Elliott when you were four years old. Baby genius, you are.

Anyways... my point is I strongly that fans of the San Antonio Spurs are bandwagon jumpers.

You strongly what? San Antonio schools apologize to you.

Please, let me know your thoughts on it.

My thoughts are that was the dumbest first post I've ever read. And you were certainly born to be a Laker Fan. Trust me, you are on the right ship.

[Brutalis]

You keep hating and we'll keep winning.

[lefty]

Laker fan calling Spurs fan bandwagon.

+1

[ulosturedge]

The irony...

Why would anyone be bandwagon jumpers for the city of San Antonio... We are just laid back normal people over here.

Unlike the Big City Los Angeles! Where all the movie stars are and the big sports teams!

If anyone has bandwagon jumpers im sure its LA by a land slide....

Where do people come up with this ..

We Love our Spurs. Since day 1. And we dont sign glamour players, we sign players that want to win championships.

[samikeyp]

As someone who has followed this team since 74, IMO most of the Spurs fans are pretty loyal....although there is a small percentage of bandwagoners as there are with all teams who win regularly.

and you are a dumbass faker fan. get the out of here!

[I. Hustle]

I skimmed it and saw that you are a laker "fan" born and raised in SA. Wow in my book that makes you a .

I'm a Spurs fan, believe me

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

i just can't comprehend why the fans from other teams come to a Spurs board and then insult the Spurs and their fans, AND then they expect people to actually care what they say

There is a fine line between friendly jabs/trashtalk and insults and mindless dribble.

There is no doubt that Spurs fan base >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lakers fanbase. I bet 90% of Laker fans will be gone after Kobe retires or is traded.

If by cheering, you mean moaning and groaning and cursing Pop and the FO, yeah, fans here did that a lot.

I hate the Spurs with a passion.

If you hate the Spurs with a passion, you should approve all the 'stupid' FO moves that you mentioned.

And since you're not a Spurs fan, no one here really gives a damn about what you think of its fanbase. And since Pop has done moves that has baffled even the most loyal of Spurs fans, I don't think he gives a if you approve of them or not.

I get why they're here, ST is better than any board out there no matter what team you root for. But why they think we'll care what they say about the Spurs and us Spurs fans I don't get either. Especially if they don't know what they're talking about or if they come at us nasty. Fans of other teams that bring conversation here are great.

[timtonymanu]

the OP's a dumbass. enough said!

[xellos88330]

I haven't been on these boards alot, and frankly, I have never read any threads about refs or anything being unfair or biased. As far as being 100% behind your team, do you know where the word "fan" came from??? I believe it derived from the word "fanatic" you twit. I am pretty sure you say the same thing for your Laker team. Now please go back under your bridge where trolls belong.

[Sense]

All he needs to do is read Timvp's post...

I was going to post something like that but I guess I was waiting for the right person to shut him up...

the right person did

If you haven't read anything about refs or anything unfair then you haven't been here long enough.

[mrspurs]

Your only 23, that doesnt qualify you to speak for any NBA team. BTW Ive got a young 20 yr old. So i know.
