    I don't care what anybody else says, I think it's perfectly okay to blindly hate another team, especially for their success. And I hate Rockets turned into Spers fans, that's classic Spers fans right there, jump on the bandwagon. The team, the city, the Riverwalk, their all overhyped.

    And you're suggesting that a HS player who averaged 18.4, 22.6, & 31.2 mpg in his first three seasons was a fast pay off for a team that had averaged 56 wins over the prior 7 seasons?

    Just my opinion but given the prevailing draft wisdom of 9 years ago (impact over potential), the Spurs would not have considered McGrady a prize worth tanking over.

    The spurs were a lucky ping ball away from being mediocre like us, but they got lucky and the rest is History.

    Those guys have never played without Duncan, so you don't know how mediocre they are.

    Ginobilli has...just not in the NBA. He's somewhat better than a spare part by most accounts.

    Greg Pockovich and the Spurs fans are really lucky they got Duncan.

    Heaaal yeah it is, sports is fun.
    Bandwagon, SHMANDWAGON! People change, people move, whatever.
    Moving to S.A. was the best decision of my life.
    Shiiiiiieeee, Houston is an overhyped pollution town, what a gutter!

    I feel sorry for you folks in Houston because you HAVE to blindly love Jeff Van Gundy?! OMG, Hakeem, clutchcity (the REAL Clutchcity) all that is no more. Bless your last place little hearts.:D

    I dont know about you but the Spurs dont seem like an intimidating BB team. Funny isnt it but the Spurs dont have the aura of invincibility of other great teams I wonder why?
