    Another sad day in history where a Texas NBA team not named the Houston Rockets makes it to the NBA Finals.

    Oh the days of glory were gone. Spurs fans can now yack this dumb mouths off while we can do nothing, but cling onto the past of glory, when Dream was a reality for us and a nightmare for the Spurs.

    God what have we done to deserve this? Do you hate us? is it Les Alexander? San Antonio is a crap city God, they don't deserve anything. Why can you move them to Montana or Kansas?

    We the Rockets were not floppers when we were champs. I never thought in a million years that I would say, I'd rather root for the Lakers than the Spurs. Have you no mercy on us??!!!

    I would go as far as to say i would root for the Lakers..but yeah i hate the spurs and any other team that is not named the Rockets.

    I am tired of this BS people are saying "we are in texas and we should root for a texas team to win"

    MY A S S....i will not root for any damn team other than my home team...

    in college the Spurs fans in my dorm were always saying how much better Robinson was than Dream.Then Dream whooped his azz. Then they claim the Dreamshake was traveling.Then I gloated about our 2 championships.

    Thank god i never have to see those guys again. They'd lay it on me about the Spurs of now.

    Thanks Les. Thanks for letting Cuban and whomever owns the Spurs (HEB? Lone Star Beer? Davey Crockett?) get past us.

    Instate rivalry is the most heated cause you see these people all the time. Its not like we see Utah fans all over Texas.

    I dislike the Spurs more than any other team in basketball. Their western conference championship is tainted because of the way the league destroyed the Suns' chances of winning.

    Bruce Bowen is the dirtiest player in the NBA.

    Manu Ginobili flops more than any player in the NBA.

    Tim Duncan whines far too much to be considered "classy."

    Tony Parker is a terrible rapper.

    San Antonio people...



    The Spurs will never win championships in consecutive years.

    I used to live in St. Croix where Tim Duncan is from and followed some of his college career at Wake Forest. Just talked to my uncle the other day who's over there still and its Timmy mania again. And I liked the city the couple times I've visited. So naturally I'd pull for the Spurs...NOPE, HELL NAW

    There's only ONE basketball team in Texas I can root for. The Rockets had the initial stronghold on basketball matters in the state. And its been TOO long since the last bit of success for the rightful franchise in Houston. The Spurs is one of the teams in the Rockets quest back to the top spot that they need to TAKE DOWN. Not root for, screw that.

    I don't hate them before this playoff but I hate them now. They are dirty and no sportmanship.

    Today is a sad day. I hate spurs much more than the jazz. Everyone knows jazz is dirty and even their fans admit that. BUT spurs fans think that are classy and bowen plays clean, hard nose defense. They are living in another dimension called denial.

    Bowen and Mr. Flopper should be banned from basketball. They destroy people's careers by cheap shots like undercutting and flopping.

    I think I should stop here, I don't want to sound like a whiner aka Mr. Duncan.

    PLEASE, Pistons or Cavs, destroy them.

    I respect the Spurs. They paid their dues to get where they are. They are a classy organization with excellent management, coaching and hard working players who always play with passion.

    I have had good experience with their fans. For the most part they are humble and knowledgeable. They know the teams history and obviously watch the games and follow the team for more reasons than Eva Langoria.

    The Mavs on the other hand... Horrible unintelligent fans who compliment a whiny and unintelligent owner (bball wise). Who somehow lets Steve Nash walk but paid for Dampier, Walker, Howard, etc... Whoever does the Mavericks draft scouting is saving Cubes ass. The fans have no clue about their history, no clue Dirk can't lead them, no clue about the NBA, and no clue how to act classy at a game. I have seen Red Rowdies humorously jab at visiting Mavies only to have the Mavies retaliate with excessive anger. Then we just point to the banners...

    But anyways. Spurs are okay with me. But death to the Jazz, Mavs, Braves, Red Raiders, and Cowboys.

    Nope. I hate the Jazz. I hate the Kobes. I dislike the Kings (a product of living here). All the other non-Rockets teams I am pretty indifferent toward. If anything, I like the Spurs more than most teams because of Timmy D and their defense first style.

    I really like and respect Tim Duncan- classy player. I have to work with 4 die hard Spurs fans. They will go on and on about Bowen being tough-not dirty....They rub it in pretty bad-but they are nowhere near as a bad as Dallas or Utah fans....

    i hate the spurs because they are the only team that will and that is allowed to use flopping to change the outcome of a game. i think the refs are told to show them much love.

    and for the record, i respect the jazz. no sht talkers or head cases. deron williams seems cocky but he really isn't an ass about it.

    I have hated the Spurs ever since Duncan turned into a big baby.

    I don't hate the current Jazz. That hatred faded when Stockton/Malone retired.

    Will be rooting for the East this year.

    Same here, I grew up there and its been the only home I knew. But you now what:

    F*** THE SPURS

    Never liked that franchise from the time I started watching basketball and they had those fruity colors in their logo. But the sad realization is the Spurs are gonna win it all. I knew it from the time we got eliminated, we were the only other than Dallas that could go toe to toe with them in a 7 game series. We just match up well with them.

    Can't say that I actually hate them. But I was a proud member of the caravan that invaded their arena this year, along with tinman. I don't root for them, but my hate is reserved for other teams, such as the Jazz and Fakers.

    Duncan's alright. Can't hate on that, aside from the bug eyes. Bowen and Ginobili need to get hit by a bus, though, for the good of the game.
