We are spoiled ! Face it. We demand near perfection out of the San Antonio Spurs. Since Tim Duncan joined this team, the Spurs are the winningest franchise in any of the major sports. Last season, any Spurs fan could tell that the team wasn't quite hitting on all cylinders. Tim was banged up all season, so was Manu. Tony had his aches and pains late in the year and most of the playoffs.
Yet, this team won 63 games and was just a bad foul or bad break away from going back to the finals. This team is always right there. The year that Fisher hit the lucky shot to knock the Spurs out was similar to this season. We get to witness unbelievable basketball ability from the greatest franchise in the NBA.
The Spurs will be back next year, strong as ever, and we should take the time to enjoy it and not cry about the little things.
Be proud and lucky to be a Spurs fan. Some team's fans never even sniff the playoffs!
I'm always a spurs fan.. i dont give a .. we could win 5 games and i'd still love them.. whatever...
as long as this team is built around tim duncan ... we should be fine... its always hard to get to the finals... and it takes luck.. and other stuff too... but i love the spurs.
We needed this thread
Dammit, I wrote this in about 5 threads last week at the peak of, but no-one was listening. Oh well...
Negative. I like ing about everything.
With Tony, Manu and Tim, there's no reason why a team shouldn't win a championship. The only way you don't is either injuries or bad management.
We are a team!

I say tank the season and draft lebron...I mean Oden. Everytime we suck super ass we end up with a #1 pick, why not give it a shot this season?
man lands on the moon
Change "win" to "contend for" and I basically agree. But then again, maybe you should add "luck" to that, because "the bounce of the ball" (meaning luck and bad luck in all the forms it comes in on a basketball court) can be a force (see: .4sec 2004; stupid foul 2006).

I would never stop supporting the Spurs, but fans have the right to criticize their team. The fact is that the Spurs have a rare opportunity to continue to achieve greatness for at least a few more years with Tim, Manu and Tony as a core. It is only natural for fans to get concerned when things don't seem to go to well in free agency. I don't think true Spurs fans are disowning the team and hopping on the Mavs or Bulls wagons. In fact, it is good and healthy to hear criticism of the team. It means the fans give a damn.
And with such a great core comes great expectations and frustrations. That's natural in compe ive sports. I do not think the Spurs fans are "spoiled".
I think that Spurs fans pay for tickets, merchandise, watch games on TV, and help fund arenas like any other NBA fan. They have a right to voice their concern over the center situation. As the players and management often say, its just business! And we are all held accountable in our businesses.

I get to complain- I'm not just a fan, I'm a customer. If a restaurant I regularly go to starts cutting corners and buying cheaper food to prepare, or if they get rid of the chef and bring in a cheaper one who thay admit is worse but saves them money, I won't be happy and they will lose my business. If I liked the chef enough, maybe I'll go to the new restaurant he is at and spend my money there because they had enough sense to hire the guy.
Hey Spur Fans!!
For years now, after teams win a championship (or multiple championships) they start going down hill. It happened to Houston, Chicago, L.A. & Detroit. It sucks, but that's how the league goes.
San Antonio fans, enjoy these moments cause eventually you'll become the team that will just be happy to make it in the playoffs.
Shutup about spurs fans being spoiled. speak for urself. im not spoiled. im a fan and i want my team to win. PERIOD!
I will enjoy those 3 championships forever, and still have the expectations for more (at least while Timvgod is still around). It feels good when you reach a point where not winning the championship is a disappointment, we have been blessed to have had such a dominant franchise for so many years. Enjoy your western conference championship, because even with whatever p.o.s. we have at the 5, I expect the spurs to compete and regain the top spot in the west.
Better watch out for that one-year Maverick dynasty.
That was one of a run they had...WCF!!!!!Better watch out for that one-year Maverick dynasty.
Believe it of not, It's a good start for the MavsBetter watch out for that one-year Maverick dynasty.
As for your Spurs, the ship is slowly sinking.
(Better trade Timmy while he's good)
Based on current events, Your Spurs were knocked out in the 2nd round.That was one of a run they had...WCF!!!!!
! your team struggled against the KingsBased on current events, Your Spurs were knocked out in the 2nd round.
I hate mavs fans, one trip to the finals and they think their "Gods". Why don't you go talk about your Greg Buckner signing in the NBA forum since he's the missing peace to your 07 imaginary championship run.
As for the offer sheets Butler and Elson got from the Spurs. Cheap serviceable players who can bang in the middle. Who else was out there besides Wallace who can play in the middle? Przybilla? Let’s get real. There was nothing out there. Let’s stop complaining here.
That's what I hate about CERTAIN Spur Fans, they win a few championships and think they should win it every ing year. WAKE UP!
Greg Buckner was good signing, nothing spectacular.
BTW how's your center situation going?
Spurs fans are spoiled
If they weren't, the Spurs Talk population would drop 50 % of its members. That's a fact.
