Re: Everyone respects the Spurs, but no one likes them.
I love the Spurs, always have. Though I was torn when the Rockets played them in those memorable playoff games I was glad that they won 5 championships since then. They showed the NBA how to play rather than showboat in a game of basketball.
* Since 1985, Jeremy Lin became one of 15 players to have scored at least 20 points, seven assists and a steal for six games in a row, including 136 points in 5 starts beating out Iverson, Jordan and O'Neal

Re: Everyone respects the Spurs, but no one likes them.
I like the Spurs. I actually work with some die hard spurs fans and don't live in San Antonio, so I can attest to the fact that they are out there. I think the way the play the game right now is the most exciting style in the NBA. I'm pretty traumatized as a Heat fan now after the way that team played last year. Good grief. I've never seen anything like it, and I've been watching the NBA since 88-89.

Re: Everyone respects the Spurs, but no one likes them.
OP you realize that not every team's fanbase is centered on RealGM, right.. it is for the Raptors but not necessarily for other teams.
For example compare the RealGM Spurs forum to SpursTalk, which is their most popular fan site with millions of posts. Or the Rockets, their RealGM forum is somewhat scant but ClutchFans.com has been around for almost 20 years and has a huge amount of traffic.

Re: Everyone respects the Spurs, but no one likes them.
You're basing this off the activity in the Spurs forum on RealGM? Most Spurs fans probably post at ST which has over 7,000,000 posts

You have to be on something to think that the Raptors are the most popular team in the NBA

I like the Spurs. How can you not like winning? I'm envious of their success.

Re: Everyone respects the Spurs, but no one likes them.
I cheered for them because they were against Lebron. If they make the Finals again this year and they're against, let's say the Bulls? I'll probably root for the Bulls. Call me a Lebron hater, but I get a kick seeing his fail. And also my bothers in law are huge Lebron nut huggers, so seeing them so down when Lebron fail is so awesome.

I just traded my older brother the Cavs game for the Spurs this year on our season tickets.

Re: Everyone respects the Spurs, but no one likes them.
This is not the board you paid your hard-earned money to post in. I apologize for it. And I want you to send me your tickets if you came tonight with a return envelope and I've got a gift for you on behalf of the Suns board for showing up tonight. Thank you.

Spurs fans know their team is good so there's nothing to talk about. Plus San Antonians need time to eat.
We Canadians up here have nothing to do in our igloos but to post on our computers, which also provide heat for us on the side.

Re: Everyone respects the Spurs, but no one likes them.
I like how the team plays and it is hard to hate Pop but the casual Spurs fans are what bother me. In Houston, there are the die hard Spurs fans that will watch every game and I respect that. When they get to the playoffs, all of a sudden people who were previously cheering on Rockets during the season were all of a sudden Spurs fans and act like they were the entire season. Even worse, the people that don't watch basketball at all but during playoffs they are all of a sudden Spurs experts and just talk mess to hear themselves talk. I find it funny though and ask them questions about the team to make it obvious that they know nothing about basketball. Spurs are the only team I see this problem with but its better than Mavs fans....jk

FWIW 90% of Argentinian basketball fans are Spurs fans.
