Hahahaahahhahahahahahahha!!
I hope the Arizona residents see that and realize they really are all alone on the "but, but ,but we are the better team!" boat.
Don't worry guys, you will get a championship one day.....

Not likely
Someone should really post a link to that on the Suns forum... just so they understand they're the only ones who don't get it
That is awesome.
I was thinking about it, but their moderator is a prude. I'm smelling a lifetime ban for anyone doing that number...

hilarious!
California was the closest blue state I saw in a quick once over. I guess they are still hung up on the Lakers.
I saw that last night and I couldn't wait to post it this morning. Glad someone else caught it.
So perfect.
^^^^^
LMAO damn THEY would!!
They even consider the Spurs a dynasty in:
California
Illinois
Massachusetts
All three of those states had NBA dynasties at one time or another and they even think the Spurs are.
LMFAOhttp://sports.espn.go.com/espn/fp/fl...e&pollId=46003

Silly Suns fans. Championships are for grownups.
The Salt Lake Tribune is sour graping as well. Warning, the following article is re ed.

Commentary: San Antonio 'dynasty' lacks stars
Duncan, Parker and Ginobili can't live up to fan favorites Jordan, Bird and Barkley

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Fine, call these Spurs a dynasty. They've earned it, winning four NBA les in nine years, mastering the art of team defense, sacrificing individual ego for team glory.
Call the Spurs the Patriots of basketball, a model of consistency, decorum, chemistry and economic sanity.
The Spurs, with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Eva Longoria, are the envy of the sports world. Thursday night they finished their sweep of the Cavaliers, brushing LeBron James and friends aside 83-82 in game four of the NBA Finals at Quicken Loans Arena, and putting themselves in rare company.
Only the Celtics, Lakers and Bulls have more NBA les than San Antonio. Maybe the small-market Spurs are the Green Bay Packers of hoops and San Antonio will be given the nickname '' le Town II.''
But there's something different about these Spurs, something that stops them from impressing and captivating people the way the Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, Patriots, Packers and Yankees did.
Tim Duncan is an awesome player, Gregg Popovich's coaching resume is as good as it gets, Tony Parker won the Finals MVP award with an Isiah Thomaslike performance, and Robert Horry has more rings than any player who didn't ride Bill Russell's coattails.
So why don't the Spurs connect? Why were these Finals a TV ratings disaster and a challenge to watch?
Because sports fans aren't stupid. They can sniff an impostor even when we in the media try to convince them otherwise.
Duncan is a cut below Bird, Magic and Jordan. As good as Duncan is, he's a cut below Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley and a few of the other big men who once elevated the league.
And Popovich is no Red Auerbach, Pat Riley or Phil Jackson. Pop lacks their personality, aura and offensive system. Basketball is a game that is defined by a team's ability to score the ball. Pop's Spurs win with suffocating defense. His teams don't excite.
This will sound terrible, and it will sound as if I'm trying to diminish the Spurs' tremendous accomplishment, but it's the truth: Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant built San Antonio's dynasty and accelerated the NBA's fall from grace post-Michael Jordan.
The Kobe-Shaq spat tore apart the Lakers' dynasty and opened the door for the Spurs to win les in 2005 and 2007.
Had Shaq not grown content and lazy, and had Kobe kept his ego under control, the Lakers would still be the dominant team in basketball. They would be the team beating up horrible Eastern Conference pretenders and keeping the NBA relevant.
Instead we're treated to the very boring San Antonio Spurs, a team that struggled to finish the poor-shooting Cavaliers in games three and four.
The Spurs were terrible Thursday night. Duncan didn't score a basket in the first half. He missed all five of his shots. He finished the game shooting four of 15 from the field. He shot 10 of 32 in two games in Cleveland.
San Antonio shot 42 percent on Thursday and let the Cavaliers climb back into the game in the fourth quarter despite LeBron James missing 20 of 30 shots and turning the ball over six times.
This series might be more remembered for James' struggles and what those struggles say about his future than the Spurs' legacy. Throughout the series ''The Next Michael Jordan'' demonstrated just how much work must be done before he's the next Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Julius Erving, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley or Isiah Thomas.
Yes, LeBron needs a better supporting cast. He also needs a jump shot.
It's Jason ing Whitlock, who has been a Spurs hater for years.
"The Spurs, with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Eva Longoria, are the envy of the sports world."
Eva was great off the bench this year. lol
That's just stupid.Duncan is a cut below Bird, Magic and Jordan. As good as Duncan is, he's a cut below Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley and a few of the other big men who once elevated the league.
Actually the Spurs win with a suffocating defense and one of the best executing offenses in the NBA. They are also one of the best transition scoring teams in the league.And Popovich is no Red Auerbach, Pat Riley or Phil Jackson. Pop lacks their personality, aura and offensive system. Basketball is a game that is defined by a team's ability to score the ball. Pop's Spurs win with suffocating defense. His teams don't excite.
rofl. The Spurs "struggled" sweeping the Cavs. America doesn't love the Spurs because they have no drama and nobody on the team has managed to rape someone and get away with it. There isn't a problem with the Spurs, there's a problem with this country.Instead we're treated to the very boring San Antonio Spurs, a team that struggled to finish the poor-shooting Cavaliers in games three and four.
Pfft. Pay no attention to that crap. It's not going to be the only article written from that perspective in the next few days.
In 20 years, all anyone is going to know is that the San Antonio Spurs were the best team of this decade.
