A Letter To All Of You Classy Spurs Fans!

[BigShotBillups]

Well...your team fought hard tonight. They came back from being down by 20 and fell just a bit short. But you guys had a great season. I really wish the Spurs could have pulled it out, especially because I can't stand Dallas. But I was really looking forward to the rematch of our two teams. If Detroit does make it to the finals, and we get to play Dallas, hopefully we can get some revenge for you. I really respect the S.A. Spurs as a great team! But I also respect their fans even more now! I am glad that both of our teams were in the same boat facing elimination, that common bond allowed me and the rest of my fellow Piston brothers and sisters from Pistons.com to meet some really classy people!

The Spurs are a great team and I am positive that they will be back next year! Keep your heads up guys and gals, your team did you proud, even though they fell a bit short. Although I am representing my Pistons, in the event that it is a Piston/Dallas finals, I for one will also think of Detroit as representing the Spurs! Our two teams are so similar in the way that they play and the rivalry that we share, it would only be right. So stand tall and know that your time will come again!

Thanks BSB,

Alot of the Spurs fans here (including myself) claim DET as our 2nd fav team. I'll be pullign for DET in the finals. ( I know you'll get there).

DET/Sa is a great rivalry. It's about mutual respect, we keep things friendly and classy.

I'm sad there won;t be a DET/SA Finals re-match, but MAvs won it fair and square. We fouled out 3 of thier guys and they still took the W. WTG on them.

You're more than welcome to saty around here BSB - we always have room for Pistons fans..
.. and belive it or not - the off seaosn is our busiest time at SpursTalk!

We know man.
Thanks.
Life DOES go on after all.
This is a scratch compared to fishers .4 shot
but the pistons put a smile back on my face when they played against Detriot.
Maybe ya'll can do it again!
I know you guys wanted to play the spurs again, and im sorry that we cant give you that honor.
I saw that only the spurs and pistons were worthy of winning the le.
Please dont prove me wrong.

Thanks for your kind words BSB! Make us proud!

[NZHayden]

thanks mate

[BigShotBillups]

Bump!

[Joepa]

Dude you are awesome. Thank you for being the very an hesis of what every Mav fan that I have ever met is. You guys show class and respect and we appreciate that.

GO PISTONS!!

[Doc Jerome]

Thanks, now I've gotta go and lick my wounds.

[RashoFan]

Thank BSB...I had posted a Good Luck Thread over at Pistons.com....I'll be rooting for DEEEEEEETROIT BASKETBALL in the Finals. Like Obi said...stick around we love to have ya around. Take Care....

[Shank]

Are ALL of the Spurs fans selling out already?

[Solid D]

Thanks BigShotBillups

[judaspriestess]

Oh my god, now this brings a tear to my eye!!

Thanks so much! I like you have much respect for the Pistons. I think Dallas is now the most hated team in the NBA. I know of about 2 people (tourist no less) who are mavpricks fans. They have NO appeal outside of dallas.

Go Pistons Go

[RashoFan]

Are ALL of the Spurs fans selling out already?

NO
We respect Detroit and their CLASSY FANS....

[rocker099]

win or loose, i have to admit it was one of the best games i have seen in awhile

[dav4463]

I'm not half as depressed as I thought I would be because the Mavericks played such a great game tonight! I still cannot stand the gloating, smug, Mark Cuban, so all I can say now is GO PISTONS GO !!!!!

[Spurs Dynasty]

Mavs fans have redeemed themselves in here as far as I am concerned. It took a while, but i think we have all seen a parade of decent mav fans after the game. Why they took so long to show up, I i dont know. Some i still want to strangle, but assholes are everywhere.

I like Detroit as a team and love the Mavs as a team. I just hate that prick owner Cuban and what he does to cause stife. I want to see Dallas & Detroit in the finals, but I must root for our Texas bretheren.

However, the Piston fans have shown themselves to be a classy bunch and it is hard to root against them. Best of luck till the finals both of you. SHould be a great series.

[veronicamae]

Damn, I really thought we had it won before that foul on Dirk - DAMN!!! But I guess now all we can do is wait until next season.

And you can bet your ass I'm cheering for the Pistons now!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

GOD DAMMIT. I still can't believe it's over. I honestly didn't prepare myself for this moment. When it was 3-1 I thought there was a chance that it could end. I was ready for it. But instead the Spurs rally hard, and show the Heart of a Champion while bringing it back home tied at 3-3. I expected a win tonight. I saw no other possibility. I'm devestated.

In this last year since the Finals ended the Spurs and all of the Spur fans here have grown on me. Somewhere along the line I became a Spurs fan. Don't get me wrong, it's still Pistons first! But I've gone from having tons of respect for the orginization, to becoming a true FAN that constantly roots for this team.

For all of you here that I've watched and read root for the Spurs all year, all I can say is that I'm extremely sorry that it ended this way. I've befriended many of you in my stay here, and I share your pain. I'm not sure if I feel worse that the Spurs lost, or that all of you are hurting because they lost. There's many of you here that I actually like/respect/apreciate and care for. I feel for all of you.

Congrats on a great year. Some amazing accomplishments were made despite dealing with injuries all year long.

Hopefully the Pistons can get a little revenge for you if we are fortunate enough to make it to the Finals and do face the Mavs.

No shame. Get ready for next year, because I will be once again looking for a Piston / Spurs Finals.

[jamezyjamez]

KEEP THE LE IN TEJAS! It makes sense you would love the Pistons since you whipped their ass last year! Now let's hope my Mavs do the same. We want to win this one for Findog....what a class player and what a great performance from him this series. The only Spur who showed up after the big 3. Great series, Spurs and we'll see you next season in the conference finals!

[LakerHater0823]

Hey BSB thanks for the kind words. This is why the only true rivalry will be between the Pistons and Spurs. We have class and we know how to win and lose with class. I will never give the mavs as much respect as I give Detroit. You guys understand what basketball is all about and what dignity is all about. GO PISTONS!!!!

WHAT!!?! Your fans booed him and publicly humiliated him! Your owner called for every fan to boo him and you want us to cheer for you guys!! that!!! Had fat- cuban kept his mouth shut I would give you guys respect but now I will only acknowledge you guys as the mavpricks!

[THE SIXTH MAN]

DEEEEETROOOOOIIIITTTT BAAAASKEEEETBAALLLL!!!!!!!! Thanks bsb, I was really looking foward to a rematch this year. They say to be a champion you have to beat the champion. That cuban doesnt deserve to win . SMALL BALL!!!!

[intlspurshk]

Thanks Piston fans but please make sure your team is ready to beat ing Mav. They are an excellent offensive team with high confidence and clutch. I would love to see them lose and never get a championship in the Cuban era.

[makedamnsure]

Thanks for being a classy fan. We need more people like you around.

Good luck Detroit. I, for one, will be supporting you guys as well. I also gained a lot of respect for the Pistons last time we played and besides I could never cheer for the Mavs, no matter what.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Thanks for the encouragement and the kind words!!!

I and I think most Spurs fans here will be rooting extremely hard for the Pistons who are the cream of the crop in the NBA this year.

I admire the way that you all have treated us and shown real class!!!

Take some revenge on Dallas for us.

We know that they can't beat you all.

Deeeeetroit basketball!!!!

Go Pistons!!!

Rasheed, Ben and Teyshaun can all guard Dirk. No mismatch there.

You all have such a versatile team. It's why you all are the best team in the NBA!!!

Like Charles Barkley would say, "Dallas can't beat Detroit!!! Detroit is the best team in the NBA!!!"
