yeah, they cant win a championship without help from an original Clutch City player, Mario Elie, Horry. Horry -saving the Spurs from Detroit (the posterizing of Hamilton game) Horry -the Nash play Note how Horry and Elie say that DREAM WAS THE BEST PLAYER THEY EVER PLAYED WITH. Not Duncan Not Robinson.
Sorry jabroni, but you aren't going to get any Sperm loving here (well except from The Cat). If you are expecting that, then I would suggest that you close your window to clutchfans and go to google and do a search for "Spurs Basketball Forums". Maybe you'll find that Sperms Heaven that you so desperately thought was here.
Word and Dream never resorted to cheapshot tactics as did none of his teammates (well we will overlook Maxwell who was banished by the time of the 2nd run and this also was back in the day when Horry hadn't drunk the Sperms Kool-Aid of thuggery, bushleague moves, and cheapshot tactics).
Maxwell was never a dirty player like Bowen. However Maxwell did use some 'lively words starting with the letter F' during his play!
You see tinman? This is what it's come to for Rockets' fans: Worthless speculation on who's better about players long since out of the NBA. Give thanks to Les, CD & the crew for making your Houston pro basketball experience such a memorable experience. And just think: now that Adelman is on board, the best is yet to come.
Next season is a LONG TIME from now. I had my good memories this year, I was at the AT&T center with the rowdies. Finally a victory on their court. Spurs fan, why is your stadium in the hood? why can't it be cool like Toyota Center in which is in the middle of downtown? you can build a really nice house, but now one wants to live in it if its in the hood.
I see. OK, I'll admit that luck can be a factor but in the long run the superior organization wins out. My point is that since 1999, that describes San Antonio, not Houston. Since 2000, Houston has been in the lottery 5 times while San Antonio has won 2 championships. We can keep telling ourselves that the Spurs aren't really that good - that they are lucky or whatever but the facts are that they are in the NBA Finals this year while we get to watch on TV AGAIN! I'm not saying that everything SA has done has worked because they have had their fair share of mistakes but unlike here, they have managed to get enough things right to offset the things they got wrong. One day, this organization may actually pull it's head out of the sand and realize what it takes to succeed. Oh and about your scenario for 2003: It wouldn't have made the slightest difference. You see, our illustrious GM traded away our 1st round pick that year - that's how they ended up drafting Badianne late in the 2nd round.
No strong feelings about the Spurs. I love Robert Horry. I like Tim Duncan (knocked Karla Malone out of the greatest PF spot). I like Tony Parker, even though I think he's vastly overrated. I do hate Bruce Bowen and don't like Manu Ginobli much. I'm rooting for Detroit, but I rooted for the Spurs in WCF.
I don't actually hate the Spurs. I hate Popovich, Parker, and Manu. I like Horry and Duncan. I dislike Bowen, and don't really care one way or the other about the rest of the team. I enjoy beating them because they are a worthy rival for the Rockets. But I don't hate them the way I do the Lakers, the Mavs, or the Jazz.
all of you who dont hate the spurs just don't know how it feels to live in a neutral site like Austin, where you see Yao, Nowitski, and Duncan jerseys all over the place. There's a big Astros following.. And you know what we think about the Texans!
Enjoy yourself Spurs fan-I have to hear this stuff everyday at work from 4 die hard Spurs fans. It really gets old- all the gloating. They actually think they could have won without Tim Duncan with Pop's superior coaching, Bowen being "gritty", Parker the top 3 point, and Manu - the best swingman.
Listen TBar, I'm no Spurs' fan but neither am I some whiney ass Rockets' fan who tries to console himself by coming up with excuses for why the Rockets find themselves sitting at home again and why the Spurs' championships aren't really legit. I am man enough to give credit where credit is due. The Spurs deserve to be where they are right now because they have earned it. Their fans have also earned the right to gloat so I would suggest that you grow a thicker skin amigo. If you want a target for your anger try directing it at the folks really responsible for the sorry state of affairs that is the Rockets and that's the team ownership and management.
it is! we didn't even get the Texans last season cause the ratings were so low. This year they will start showing the Texans again. maybe if they win and don't suck they'll stay on tv. the Cowboys, people hate them or love them. The Texans, no one cares about them (could it be what happened in the draft?!! hmmm) i was on xboxlive last night and some spurs fans recognized my handle and rubbed it in. saying how they easily whipped Utah. my handle = clutchcity93 at least they know what it means. but all i could say is that we won 1 game in your house this year!
No problem friend. I'm not angry at anything or anybody. I really like Tim Duncan as a player and have followed his career since Wake Forest. He is a class guy and one of my favorite players. I think he is a great role model. I personally think Bowen is a dirty player. No big deal though- I won't lose sleep over it. The Spurs are a great organization. I am a Rockets fan and am at peace with mistakes the team has made in drafts, trades, and management. I want my team to do better. I am happy, but would be happier if my team had at least beaten Utah one game in Utah. Next year -next season I'm hoping will be better. I will be happy with improvement. Peace friend! Go Rockets!!!!
So I guess I'm the only one who really likes the Spurs. How can you not appreciate a player like Duncan (even though I do fear him going down ahead of Dream if he wins another two titles...which is quite possible).
