I've been a huge Spurs fan ever since I was little. Even I'll admit, though, that the '99 and possibly the '03 teams were somewhat of a drag to watch. However, it infuriates me to still hear people perpetuate the myth that the Spurs play boring basketball. What, pray tell, is boring about lighning fast Tony Parker? NO ONE can keep up with him, not even media darling LeBrick James. The layups he makes are absolutely incredible! How about Manu Ginobili? He'll kill you with the 3-ball, the drive, or the ridiculous off balance circus shots he hits with amazing regularity. You want drama? OK, meet Robert Horry (need I say more?).
I understand that San Antonio is a "small market" (although we are the 7th largest city in the U.S.), but when these same "boring" Spurs keep on beating media faves like the darling Suns or Cavs at their own fast-paced games, you have to stop and give credit where credit is due. Show us the love, America!
GO SPURS GO! NBA CHAMPS (AGAIN) for 2007!

because today, being an awesome basketball team isn't enough. there has to be drama. tim duncan is happy and comes to play, tony parker has rings and a trophy wife, greg popovich is a nice guy with a goal of perfection. there's no fighting, no controversy, and no reason to hate them.
so calling them boring gives people a reason.

The Spurs are boring because in case you didnt notice, they didnt once break 100 points in the Finals, I dont think they even broke 90 points. They play slow defensive basketball.

they dont have flashy players, if duncan was shaq, theyd have an exciting team, if they had rodman back, theyd be an exciting team, but they dont so people call that boring Go figure...
