When will people give the spurs credit?

Question

The said the same thing when the spurs won in 98, the lock out season:

*

Answer 1

When real basketball, instead of starball, comes back into fashion.

Answer 2

They won't and it really doesn't matter.

The only "tainting" I agree with was in game 3 when the spurs had just about every foul called in their favor both defensive and offensive. Other than that no.

Everyone keeps talking about the suspensions as if the suns players didn't deserve it. They came off the bench and were heading to the altercation. .its against the rules why is that so hard to understand? Is it because one of the two players was their star player?

Even still considering the fact that the suns lost their 2 players they still kept the game close and had a chance to win. They didn't and put pressure on themselves to win back to back games.

If the suns were the better team they would've found a way to win that VERY close game 5. Instead they lose and then when they get their "fresh" bodies back lose again. These last two losses could have easily been wins. But they weren't simply because the spurs did what they had to do when they had to do it. And what about game 1, when amare missed about 3 shots in the last minute?

I will admit that the spurs were dirty at times and this is the dirtiest I've seen them play. However I don't know that anyoen can say that the suns are completely innocent.

Answer 3

When the spurs won in 98, I gave them credit then; Robinson and Duncan were huge then, and I actually respected the team then (even though I despised them).

I find it very hard to respect the current spurs team, and I'm looking for them to lose now. Parker is the only starter I have no problem with. He gets a lot of calls, but then again, he has nothing to do with that, and he tries hard to get to the basket, so he'll get calls.

But I can't respect Duncans constant whiny face arguing every call against him, especially when there's only about 2 calls a game that don't go his way. Ginobili flops like a dead fish; one thing is I'm glad he hasn't done it in the playoffs much, but still, in the regular season it was dreadful to watch. And Bowen, what can I say that hasn't been said before. Dirty. That's all.

So, I hope that Parker will go somewhere else so I can start to actually like him instead of just not hating him.

And they deserve credit for 2 of those wins, but not game 5 and the one where Nash was bleeding. Those were flukes, and I think the suns were cheated out of both (the bleeding thing was not the spurs fault though). My 2 cents.

Answer 4

talk about the spurs all you want(suns fans)but whos in the Conference finals??THE SPURS!!!!!
and they didnt cheat,in game 5 the spurs OUT played the suns in the 2nd half.game 6 they had Amare and they lost.

Answer 5

spurs will get credit when manu ginobli stops flopping. A light breeze could carry manu ginobli away, or a small child the way he flops around

Answer 6

I respectfully give credit to everyone except Bowen and Horry. Good game though, Duncan, Parker and Finley.

Answer 7

when pigs fly suns fans are gonna blame david stern for their loss

Answer 8

The only credit they need is from S.A. fans, oh wait a minute, they get credit from Stern and Jackson as well.

Answer 9

i'd rather watch paint dry then watch the san antonio spurs. nothing interesting about the team, city, fans, etc. etc.

Answer 10
