    It pisses me off that they are SO GOOD. They almost beat the Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena with their bench!

    Do they piss me off because they have a great front office, a top 3 coach, a system that works to perfection, etc? Yes...I want that for a decade. I'm selfish though.

    The Popovich Minutes Plan of keeping legs fresh (Even though the minutes get piled back on with so many postseason games). Would have to think Tim Duncan's legs is getting the benefit.

    Still an amazing part is the Spurs play the 2nd fastest pace behind the Rockets. Bunch of old guys getting up and down with the YOUNGEST team in the league.

    They have one of the best coaches ever. Their unis and logo are classic. Great, admirable franchise.

    It's hard to hate on such a classy group of guys. When the Rox are out of playoffs, Spurs is the team I find myself rooting for.
    After the wonderful Lakers and Jazz, of course!

    These guys have been one of the top flopping teams in the league for 10 years. They are the unsung heroes of 'superstar calls' in the 2000's. They have won playoff series based on their ability to fall down efficiently.

    Parker and Ginobili may or may not be great people and great basketball players, but there is a fatal flaw that prevents me from liking them.

    You can't with without being 'good', so I have to give the Spurs credit. But flopping is a dangerous weapon on a team that is already well-coached and disciplined.

    It pisses me off that the Rockets can't ever get to that level.

    They do what it takes to win.

    I hate and admire them for that, because they have done a great job keeping things together and overachieving.

    I couldn't have agreed more. They are one of the best organizations in the league.

    They're your typical "meh" team.

    Let me know when they get to the Finals

    ha! The Spurs don't piss me off, the unprecedented and embarrassing Basketball stupidity of their town's fans, combined with their perceived superiority over the Rockets in the 90s pisses me off.

    Here's a story of their sheer stupidity as fans ... and remember when you read this, they don't actually like basketball; they would drop the Spurs in a second for a NFL team.

    In 2006, SA newspaper posted a poll on their newpaper website for over 2 weeks. The question was: Who is the most important person of the franchise?

    Where do you think Duncan ranks?

    #1 is not Duncan

    Now guess again
    It's RC Buford

    Did Duncan get #2....no? Guess who is #2 in this 2005 poll?
    Manu Ginobody

    OK, so Duncan get third.
    nope...guess who
    Popovich

    Are you sure that wasn't an "other than Tim Duncan" question? I have trouble believing even they can be that stupid.

    No, they are stupid. When people make fun of the south it's because of Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and the city of San Antonio.

    The only thing that gets me is the way they've somehow been able to convince their stars to accept less money than they could get in free agency. They have the typical benefit of being a star so they're already worth more than the max but they make even less.

    I mean, how lucky is it that all 3 of their guys are willing to do something that almost no other player is willing to do.

    I never liked the Spurs nor Duncan. They're so good because the Illuminati controls them.

    The Spurs big 3 will always be a threat for contention no matter what. They are incredibly smart, loyal, hard working, & dedicated players... The only thing I hate about them sometimes is that a lot of their players tend to flop a lot.
