an intelligent Suns fan from Phoenix? who compliments the Spurs? how do you survive your fellow fans?
-Mars
I live in Phoenix so I am a Suns fan but have always respected the Spurs for their great coaching team work, great coaching and great front office personnel.
Tim Duncan has always been my favorite player by far and I can't stand when other Suns fans call him "boring". I also like chatting with San Antonio fans at the games because they always know basketball unlike the Laker fans at the Suns games. My profile name is DUNCANownsKOBE because the media does a great disservice to Duncan by constantly talking Kobe up even though Duncan has accomplished a lot more in a shorter career.
Does anyone mind if I join? This team has really grown on me over the years and the Suns forums are getting really weak with the people who think they know everything. Plus I wanna be able to post with Spurs fans after the Spurs pwn the Lakers in the WCF like I expect them to.

It gets really hard sometimes.....people who constantly put their foot in their mouth when talking about Tim Duncan piss me off....when someone calls him "boring" it's usually code for "he has destroyed the Suns for years so rather than give him credit I'm going to display my lack of sportsmanship".
im sure alot of sunfans will hate you for turning to the darkside....
Welcome
There are a couple other good Suns fans on this board, so you won't be alone.
Enjoy!
The force is strong in this one!
TDMVP, I'm still a Suns fan, when the Suns were sucking during the dark days w/ Starbury I cheered for the Spurs because of how team oriented and humble Duncan is, I saw no reason to stop cheering for them once the Suns were good again. I also have a deep hatred towards the Lakers and how everyone on ESPN is saying
Although I'm a Suns fan, I'm also a basketball fan and can appreciate good basketball when I see it, and any unbiased fan knows how well run and well coached the Spurs are.
And now that it's clear you guys are happy to see a Suns fan who likes Duncan exists and I know I'm welcome here, what do you guys think about the Spurs so far. I know they're 6-6 but George Hill and Roger Mason look like the best backups Manu and Tony have since I can remember. I'm really disappointed in Udoka I thought he would be a better fit with the Spurs.
I picked them to win the finals for this, my friends have given me so much crap for it after their bad start, but I'd like to see how good the Suns would be w/o their leading scorer from last season.
It's simple really. If everything falls into place, these injuries might be blessings in disguise. discovering the skills of Hill and Mason (and the fact that Finley can still occasionally shoot the ball), we have solid backups who can provide good minutes for Parker and Manu when they are trying to adjust to playing again, and then help out in limiting their minutes during the season. we just have to stay afloat until they get back.

Im sure you'll be glad to know TP is one of the Suns favorite fans. Hes got a Diaw jersey he loves to wear.
1) If you're as informed and unbiased as you seem, go ahead and change your team to the Suns. No one will care if you bring your A game.
2) Put mrs spurs on ignore. She has nothing to offer.
Mars, that's exactly what I originally thought. A 12-15 game stretch where they might struggle a little bit is something the Spurs can overcome. 4 games into the season and the Suns fans I know are ready to jump on their throat and declare the Tim Duncan Spurs dynasty over and done.
But as you said, getting Roger Mason and George Hill minutes is a blessing in disguise. Mason and Hill are also very smart people if they were able to learn the Spurs' offensive system that quickly and on the fly. Roger Mason KILLED the Suns last year so when I saw him sign with the Spurs I thought great apparently Popovich saw the same potential I did and stole a very underrated player.
I expect them to a make a minor deal this year where they get a big who specializes in offensive rebounding, similar to that of Nazr Muhammed for Malik Rose, one of the most underrated deadline deals ever.
just make sure it's not *blank* for Rose again, as much as I loved to see him play, he's wayy past his time :/
-Mars
Diaw rocks.
I hope that's a joke...he's been playing better this year but he's the biggest waste of talent since Chris Wilcox.
Does anyone think Finley is going to play a whole lot once Manu and Tony come back? He's becoming a huge defensive liability for them, I just don't see any reason why Pop would give him minutes when he's got Mason who's better than him in all areas of play and Udoka who might not be as good a shooter but isn't a defensive liability.
he'll be a backup for sure, providing some offense.
-Mars
Ya I know, but I figure Bowen is still gonna start, and Mason and Hill I figure have earned their minutes. Pop does have an allegiance to veterans and I think that's his one Achilles' heel at times, and trust me I'm a Popovich fan I'm not gonna criticize him very often. There are times when changes need to be made and I think the role of guys like Finley Vaughn and Oberto might shrink in favor of younger more athletic players. The Spurs fans I talk to a lot also hates Finley so my view is a little biased, it just seems to me like he does well against the undisciplined defensive teams and is easily guarded when the other team is well coached.
You have my respect...
Pop will put veterans in over rookies (when he can) until the day he steps down.

Welcome to the board. The conversations are usually great, if you're a fan of the game you should love it here.Welcome
There are a couple other good Suns fans on this board, so you won't be alone.
Enjoy!
And by all means represent your team. You don't have to be a Spurs fan to be here. There are several fans of other teams that respect Duncan and the Spurs.
Welcome on board ! The captain Stubbing and his crew wish you a pleasant jouney!
Duncan is actually only 2-4 in playoff series against Kobe, but that's not the point.
Nice to have you here
Don't get me started, what would that record be if Kobe didn't have Shaq for all but one of those series? I assume I won't have to hear Kobe homers constantly salivating over Kobe on this board, I'm tired of hearing about him.Duncan is actually only 2-4 in playoff series against Kobe, but that's not the point.
Nice to have you here
Excuse me, but thats my line.
good to see you
I live in az and the sun fans suck
I know alot of them want to avoid the spurs in playoffs
