A place for fans of the Phoenix Suns

The way the Spurs classily handled our sweep of them in 2010 went a long way in the healing process.Shabazz wrote:Should the Suns not make the playoffs or lose in the first round, the team I would least mind winning it all is the Spurs. Crazy how things have changed.
I might be in a very, very small minority, but the Spurs have always been my 2nd favorite team in the league. They're also the team I hate losing to most, go figure. When the Suns aren't in contention, I root for the Spurs to go all the way.Shabazz wrote:Should the Suns not make the playoffs or lose in the first round, the team I would least mind winning it all is the Spurs.

Their fans can still be complete pricks, but the team inself has been much easier to stomach since Bowen and Horry's retirements. Really, I could care less about Ginobli or TP, but Tim Duncan is the man, always such a class act.Superbone wrote:The way the Spurs classily handled our sweep of them in 2010 went a long way in the healing process.Shabazz wrote:Should the Suns not make the playoffs or lose in the first round, the team I would least mind winning it all is the Spurs.

Absolutely, Tim Duncan is very difficult to hate, even when he's demolishing you.Phoenix219 wrote:Their fans can still be complete pricks, but the team inself has been much easier to stomach since Bowen and Horry's retirements.

After taking a quick look at that thread, I expect some serious apologies from those here who have slurred me with mass unfounded accusations of racism and homophobia.....Mori Chu wrote:Their overall NBA board is here:

It's mostly just a cesspool full of trolls talking trash about each other's favorite teams. Culburn is there and he isn't even the worst of 'em. I think the thread in question in this case is here. I think it's a little underwhelming so don't get your hopes up too high, haha.

They still think that they drafted Dragic, as though they actually identified his talent first.Xylus wrote:The overall perception of the Suns on Spurstalk is mostly positive. They tend to root for us against any other Western Conference playoff team, probably because they don't see us as a major threat yet. Once the Suns start winning playoff games, they'll change their tune and start hating us like they did in the Nash-Amare years.

Doesn't matter - the narrative has already been engraved. I've heard ESPN crews repeat the assertion that San Antonio "originally drafted" Dragic to further discussion on their talent evaluation over the years.carey wrote:Mori Chu wrote: They still think that they drafted Dragic, as though they actually identified his talent first.
What? There is video evidence of Kerr making the phone call telling the Spurs who to pick....it was in the draft day coverage that year.
Ya. It's a frustrating mistake that's very common in the media - crediting the team that drafted the player, not the team on whose behalf they were drafted.SwingMan wrote:Doesn't matter - the narrative has already been engraved.

Explain that to nearly every other broadcasting team in the NBA. Please!carey wrote:Mori Chu wrote: They still think that they drafted Dragic, as though they actually identified his talent first.
