Its 3 a.m. in San Antonio.
I'm listening to the ticket 760 with a national feed right now.
All these national commentators spewing their ing hate on the Spurs make me sick to my stomach.
You all national bas s calling us dirty, etc--
GO YOURSELF!
Whew--now I feel better.

Sports talk hacks get paid to stir up . That's it and that's all.
Pick your poison...
We're either a small market soft team or dirty thugs.
Don't forget SOFT.
I like dirty thugs better...let the classy period end with DRob...since he embodied it more than any other player.
Besides...becoming dirty got Fred MacMurray and Denzel Washington Oscars...no one does dirty with as much sheer evil joy as the wholesome guys.
Yeah, screw it, who cares what people think of us? We were silently hated for our success, now we're openly hated for our will to win. 'em all, I say.
I love all the open criticism and hatred. It fuels my love for the team.
When you're the best, you're either fully loved or fully hated.
I'm loving this !
Nobody roots for Goliath!!
Now I think we're finally getting the respect we've been asking for.
Who was cheering Ty Cobb??
No one likes the Yankees or the Cowboys
These bridesmaids wish 'national sports commentators' would loath them.
I, for one, ing love it.
It's like when Hulk Hogan turned bad and helped form the NWO !!!
according to sczaban, the Spurs are now the "heels" of the league and should they win the le he is going to hang an asterisk on that le for over a year. even the suns announcers said as the game ended, you can mail this win to the comissioner and tell him thank you. conspiracy theory lives folks.....
they're sour graping. no problem with me embracing the dirty-thug label.
yeah!
I just don;t want our guys getting all tat'd up tho.... it;s so played out already.
We can just be the thug hard-core non tattoed up the ying yang team.
It would have been better evidence of a conspiracy if the Commissioner had bent the rules for Stoudmire and Diaw.
This is the part of the national media's argument that I don't get. The rule expressly says that if a player leaves the vicinity of the bench during an altercation, he must be suspended -- no ifs, no ands, no buts. Is it a bad rule? Perhaps. But is the punishment for its violation open to interpretation? Absolutely not -- and it never has been.
Comparing this to the Baron Davis situation is ridiculous because nothing in the rules concerning flagrant 2 fouls compels the league to suspend a player -- suspension is a possibility (obviously, as the Horry situation demonstrates). But, unlike the altercation-bench rule, there isn't a mandatory suspension that comes with having committed a flagrant 2 foul.
In the end, had the league chosen not to suspend Stoudemire and Diaw, it would have broken its own rule, given preferential treatment to those guys (based on who they are and when their conduct took place), and chosen to make the rules subservient to what fans might want (or what the media thinks the fans might want) in a given situation.
As a side question, since when does everyone feel empowered to question the validity of championships based on perceived inequities in the process? Not to pick on the Pistons, but nobody questions the Pistons' first le, which came against a Laker team that was monumentally depleted in the Finals. Somehow, it's become vogue to suggest that a championship is tainted if the majority-supported team doesn't win the le. It's absolutely ridiculous.
This is just retribution for the way game 4 was called. I really believe that there is a rift between the referees and the commissioner for the Danny Crawford thing with the Spurs caught in the middle. Game four was gift wrapped to the Suns and a frustrated Horry did what anyone with a gut against unfair play would do. Stern knows this too. The off set was for him to take the high road and let the rules be the rules, although the Spurs almost blew it. The next question will be will the jump shooting Suns continue to get more foul calls their way and in the Spurs home?
If so, the Spurs will probably have just too much to overcome.
ha ha, the Spurs are being exposed for what they truely are, S . The Spurs will be on the decline soon enough. Manu throws himself around more than D-Wade, he'll be finished soon enough with a career ending injury. Duncan will shoot himself, dude is just depressed or something because he shows no personality. As for Tony Parker, some gangster will probably shoot him seeing as how San Antonio is so filled with violence.
oh dearSpurs are now the "heels" of the league and should they win the le he is going to hang an asterisk on that le for over a year
some fat slob on the radio is gonna do it?
Dear me, they oughtta just quit now and not try I guess.....
thats intelligible
Pure (cl)ass.
not T park.. the other "guy"
Maybe we can be the first team in the league that is Dirty AND Soft.
You just don't get it. The league passed this rule 12 years ago IN ANTICIPATION OF this series. It's a brilliant conspiracy. Nobody saw it coming.
You just don't understand the conspiracy, you sheep. THERMITE!
when are yall gonna run bosh out of canada like you did vince. great seasons guys see you at the parade
