I tell them their mother is ugly.
When someone tells you that our team is too boring to watch...
What are your rebuttals? Hypothetically speaking, you are going up against some pretty ignorant biggots with low basketball IQs and only think that run and gun offenses that get the glory are the only games worth watching. What do you say?
[Insert only intelligent arguments below]
I tell them their mother is ugly.
Tell, them it's a bit boring looking at all of those trophies in the case, too. Ho Hum.
If losing is exciting for them, there's really not much more you can say.
I ask if multiple crazy passes that somehow make to the guy and zipping around defenders to make a seemingly impossible layup or dunk is interesting to them, and they enthusiastically say yes, that's why they like the run-and-gun, up-tempo style. I ask if they've actually watched a Spurs game recently, and witnessed the offense with Parker, Ginobili, Oberto, Duncan and either Finley or Bowen. Usually the answer is no. Then I point out that the first thing, what they really liked - well, the Spurs do that kind of a lot.
i probably laugh cause that usually comes from a suns, mavericks, bobcats, kings, GSW....etc fan. it doesnt bother me cause if they could have the players we have with the rings we have they'd trade it all in a second. i'm not a and niether are a lot of other spurs fans, so you shouldnt be either
Ask if they actually watch the NBA. Manu and Parker have to be 2 of the most exciting players in the game today.
boring as . and lined with gold.
You want boring? Try dusting and polishing the trophy room, damn that takes a long time.*
*Also applies to the following teams: Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls
The "boring" label is classic groupthink. Most people who parrot it don't know why the Spurs are boring, they just know that everybody (whom they fear know more than they do) think they are and, therefore, they must be. If you don't think they're boring you may be out of step. People may ask you why -- and what would you say.
The real problem is that the Spurs are too good to ignore, yet nobody really likes them -- they come from a small sequestered market and all. No one is gonna take the time to really get to know them or maybe even like them. Therefore, they need a label. Soft. Dirty. Boring. No matter that these things may be mutually exclusive.
If the Spurs had "New York" written across their chests they would not be boring -- they would be a very exciting dynasty in a basketball Mecca.
Just deal with it, folks.
the spurs are more boring than me taking a
'of course your bored. the spurs were probably kicking your teams ass'
I usually let them know that winning championships NEVER gets boring and as Spurs fans, we don't give a about what the media or fans of other teams think. Unless the NBA Championship changes its format to a popularity contest then the "boring" smack will remain to be a badge of losers.
I tell them "So is ing your wife but I do it anyway."
The jerk store called -- they're running out of YOU!
I would just ask them if they even knew the first ing thing about basketball.
Probably a lot of the old time teams that won les would be labled today as boring because everyone wants that run and gun exciting style of play. Look at Russells Celtics, they did not have flash on their team just a fundamentally great big man and a complete team that played unselfish and knew how to win. They played the game the right way a lot like the Spurs do today. Problem today is what people deem as fun to watch is not winning basketball.
I'd put up a number 3, then a number 1....
Tell them that most times we play Phoenix in a playoff game we score more points than they do... What is boring about that?
What I dont get is... we are always part of these AWESOME playoff series in early rounds that get great ratings... then no one cares after we win...
EVERYONE wants the Mavs or Suns to win
Oh well...
Honestly... We play PRETTIER basketball right now than the Darlings of the league 4 years ago..
The Sacramento Kings...
Shrug... well... people will get used to it i guess...
I say, winning never gets boring.
I would rather look ugly and win rather than pretty and lose!
That is pretty good!
I tell them that winning never gets old.
there's no point in arguing with an 8 year old. logic and reason are lost on them.
i usually ignore them. when i don't ignore them, i tell them to watch the and-1 league, or that faux basketball game where they jump on trampolines.
Tell them it's fine if they like losers.
Boring team...
Exciting team...
