why do you guys cry everytime you lose one game. thats what i wanna know.
Now, first off, I understand, this is a forum.
We are here to discuss basketball.
I don't discount that, and, I applaud it.
Heres my point.
When did the game, get so serious, that we take it as such?
When did the game, become something that bothered us, that kept us up till 3 am when they lose, yelling about the coaching moves, the players play, the GM's offseason decisions.
When, exactly, did sports become more, than sports?
I promised, after 2005, not to let basketball affect me, to the point where it BOTHERED me.
I let it last night. Its middle december, its a game against Houston. In my mind going in i said, what the , they lose, no big deal, they do it every day.
Well going home, I felt disgusted, and empty. It felt like the Spurs had just lost a game in may and had fallen behind 3-1.
The reaction following the game was nothing short of the same.
So as I sat here today, watching season 2 of Boston Legal, friends and family over, laughing at it, it was then that I realized,
its the holiday season. Were humans, We have a war going on that more than likely will last longer than all of us will be alive. Me thinking of the ramifications of the world going on frightens me. I will not hide my head, but, isn,t that what Sports was supposed to do? Help not just me, but you and others, stop thinking, about possible suicide bombers, nuculear warfair.
So it once again gets me to the question, when did we fans, let the game bother us, where we let it get to a point where we get "frusterated" "angry" "fed up"....
Not preaching, I know im not well liked here, its of my doing, I accept and know that, I won't ever be one of the "respected" ones.
It bothers me though, to see some of the respected members here, let it bother them so.
Just an observation.
Merry Christmas, and, go spurs.
why do you guys cry everytime you lose one game. thats what i wanna know.
I, wish, we, wouldn't have, lost that, game.
I hope we, win, the, next one.
I can relate a bit, last year I watched every single game that was broadcast on tv, and I have TNT/ESPN/FSN/ etc... I was really dissapointed when they lost last year, it's almost like all of those games I watched were a waste of time, they really exited far too soon, of course part of that was because of bracketing but nevertheless...
This year I haven't watched as many games, but I am still dissapointed to see San Antonio loose to the better teams...
EDIT: Having said that some people just act re ed on purpose I think, not because they are really upset..
Because we want the Spurs to win. That's it. We will, we want, we expect, we require, we love...... the Spurs to win.
All games matter. Whether it's now or later. They all mean the same....
Xmas will come and go, but the Spurs will play again and again and again. They will lose again and again and again. We will over and over and over again.
After 3 championships, it's only going to get worse. The expectations are so high, this team can't even get the crowd into a game. Sad but true.
The only thing that can cure Spurs Fever is to drink. So drink up, Mr. Spurs Fan. This buds for you.
Very good post. Sports are just entertainment. The players are just humans doing it as a living, they'll make mistakes and not win all the time. They probably want to just spend time with family and relax much like every one of us here.
Sports are sports, life is another story. In shorter terms.
People give you a lot of T Park but with posts like these and ones I've read before I don't see how.
I think much of this is just for fun. I mean, trollers on here may just actually be ok people, and are just pulling stuff up here for fun. But this is the internet. We don't really know for sure hpw much of it is legit.
But in the long scheme of things, this is really insignificant. There are much more important things going on the world than the NBA, and I personally am thankful that my biggest worry in my entire life IS the San Antonio Spurs. That said, I personally think that we should be more moderate here, but that's just me.
Thank You Tpark!!!! God Bless The Spurs!! Go Spurs Go!!!
I agree, I'm better at it than last year but I still have my moments where I let it affect me too much. Good post.
rofl... comma comma!
"dissapointed to see San Antonio loose to the better teams."
That doesn't bother me at all.
I'm disapointed when they lose to inferior teams,
and when the Spurs beat themselves by not caring or hustling or competing.
Look at it this way, I'd rather them have beaten the Hornets today then beaten the Rockets yesterday. Since tonight's a back to back and on the road.
This team is great on the road.
I'll remember that when I try to go after Biff's grandson in the future.
Nicely said T Park
I love this game!!
@ T Park complaining about people going overboard after a loss.
Thank you Walton.Nicely said T Park
I in part reference you, and I know you love this team to death and say things you don't mean, as have I.
The point of the post was wondering when people like you and me let it get us.
I apreciate your civility.
Im glad you found it funny.T Park complaining about people going overboard after a loss.
Im not complaining, to the contrary. It puzzles me, to as how we, as fans, have gotten this way.
Me included.
No ill will in this post at all.
Merry Christmas and have a great one
I personally think that the people who get really, genuinely PO'd when the spurs lose are just real fans. When you're a real fan its just natural that you get really emotional about the games and you take losses hard. However, it really doesn't matter anyway because the people who take the losses hard are generally fine after the next win. I'm a perfect example of this.
All I know is the Spurs better win tonight or they aren't winning a championship ever again.
I know what you mean Tpark. You guys should be thankful you support a team that is a top team and has already won championships
I get so annoyed after losses and try and analysis were it went wrong etc. I also told myself i wouldnt let it get to me but it still does.
In the end its just a game, but boy it is a game that i love
Yeah. If they dont win tonight they probably wont win another game this season.
I wish I knew, my life would be a lot easier and I would have a lot more free time.I think mostly, it's because we're spoiled. We are the most successful franchise in all of pro sports in terms of regular season winning percentage. We expect the Spurs to win each and every game, if even subconsciously. Even when I was a kid, I expected the Iceman to drop 50 on some poor team, and the Spurs would win. The years between Gervin and Robinson were some of the worst of my life, and not just because I had to move to Utah as a kid.
Not even being a case of being spoiled.
As a cardinal fan, Ive seen people let a 10 inning 3-2 loss to the Pirates bother people to the point of starting arguements.
Me and my father had a huge fight to the point where I quit the family business and worked for a friend's business for 2 weeks, after the Spurs big loss to the Pistons, and the arguement started over Michael Finley's bad game.
After that game, thats when I really really pondered this...
For those of us who were here when the Chapparals first entered the Arena, having to look around the poorly placed stantions, the limited seating, and having to stumble to the Lone Star Pavillion after each game...... having gone through the Gervins, The Doug Moe era, Tarkainen and his towel biting, Johnny Moore, Dennis Rodman.
The NO LOOK Strickland pass, Larry Brown, Brick..and so on.
Those of us who survived the first 25 years of ho-hum play and never being able to win the BIG ONE..... To those I salute, for you are the true fans........
