Spurs fans are acting like a bunch of Mavs fans now
quote:
Spurs usually lose the first in the opening series. It's almost tradition.

The thing is, the Spurs really haven't been playing all that well in the month leading up to the playoffs. It's hard to expect them to just turn it on.

quote:
I hate NBA refs, never any consistency. One team allowed to knock other down, and then slap calls on the other end.

quote:
They can't play any worse than this.

quote:
It seemed to me that Tony Allen intentionally fell on Manu to try to re-aggravate the injury.


List any that you might have.

has there every been so much peen envy for a team?

no. i think he's not envious at all. he's admiring the irony in the fact that the spurs fans are the most butthurt of all the fans, hedging on every statement, and making more excuses due to their higher fall from grace.

as i understand it...he's a grizzlies fan.

so...no, there's no peen envy for a team that's about to be an embarrassment.

No kidding, Shark. Where were these knuckleheads during the title runs.

Spurs fans are remarkably similar to Texas Longhorn fans. There always have to be excuses when they lose because the other team cant possibly be better than them.

sure, simple. that's why you spend about 90% of your time posting about the spurs.

I have yet to see a Spurs thread that you haven't crapped on already.

But hey, you've got your shtick and it works.

The Spurs have been playing like garbage for over a month. How is that an excuse? The disastrous last 15 games are no more explainable than the first 70+ games of shear domination. The best anyone can come up with is they're old and unathletic, but that doesn't really explain why they can't seem to dribble, pass and shoot now.

no excuse for a #1 to lose to a #8, none, TexAgs taught everyone that.

How the **** is that an excuse?

It's just another excuse for poor play.

I made this quote. And it was in no way meant as an excuse. I was knocking how they've been playing.

quote:

I also made this remark. Also, not meant as an excuse. And they in fact did play worse last night.

You're trying to start an arguement that's not even there, buddy.

usually when your team gets mudholed by 20 in the playoffs it's safe to say "they didn't play well", hth.

I decided to leave it alone earlier, but you are really stretching by calling all of those "excuses."

If I say, "the Spurs suck." Is that an excuse for bad play? I wouldn't say Memphis is necessarily a better team. Basketball is about matchups. Was Baylor a better team than A&M this year? I'm not so sure, but they were definitely a terrible matchup. Quit pounding your chest. The series isn't over. If the Grizz do finish it, then congratulations.

Edit. Posting from my phone and hit reply three letters too soon.

No excuses here. They have run their course and Tim cant do it by himself or much at all anymore.

I will say that sometimes, Tony looks like he is just trying to throw games. Unbelievably bad showing by this team, but it (the era/success) cant last forever.

Sad to see an era come to an end, but the regular season was a surprise to this life long Spurs fan. The organization will rebuild, because great organizations do. It's been a great ride and even better to do it with such class players and citizens.

Simplebay & others are enjoying the moment. I'm sure the Lakers will never have another losing season or have to rebuild.

Sorry you guys never jumped on the bandwagon of the most successful american sports franchise of the last 15 years. What's your excuse for not recognizing greatness and liking your **** teams instead?

We knew that it was all a big setup for the most embarrassing first round loss in the history of the nba.

Who said this?

That looks an awful lot like an excuse to me.



On a serious note, this is a very entertaining series. It's still very unlikely that the Spurs win the series though.

I wasn't making an excuse I was just stating that this is one of the few times I have ever seen the foul strategy at the end of the game actually work.
The only other time that I have seen it work was T-Mac erase a 10pt lead with 37 seconds left in the game.
Spurs were lucky enough tonight to make some good shots and came away with the win.
Coby

So... you are saying that you just stated facts. Kind of like three of your five "excuses" above?

If those things you posted above are "just an excuse for poor play," then what you said tonight is just an excuse for losing.

By your logic any statement made regarding a loss is an excuse. If what you posted above are excuses, then what you said tonight is an excuse.

Just because you are on the other end doesn't make it any more or less of an excuse.

Excuse me, I have a hard time understanding you with Gary Neal's junk in your mouth.

Spurs got lucky plain and simple.

And the Grizz didn't get lucky in game 3 with Zach Randolph popping 3's in the waning minutes? That Battier shot in game 1 wasn't lucky? Anyone will tell you luck plays a big role in the playoffs. Ask Derek Fisher.
