Hey spurs fans! Your going bankrupt next year from flopping fines. GO SUNS!

What are you gloating about?

The Suns have their fair share of floppers: Nash, Bell, Shaq. I’ll bet you that there aren’t that many fines handed out for flopping next season anyway. The NBA has enough issues with defining flagrant fouls and enforcing the rules they already have. All this is going to do is complicate matters.

TO THE FLOPPER FAN

OK, so you named 3 minor floppers on the suns. Lets see, the spurs WHOLE TEAM is made of floppers and BRUCE BOWEN is the dirtiest player in the NBA

And....

And your point? Your team still is comprised of some floppers who will be fined. Why are you so upset? I mean can’t we just have civil discord

To the obtuse fan of a team with zero championships

Nash flops more than Bowen or Manu. That is the only thing he does on the defensive end. Bell is a notorious flopper. You better believe Grant Hill flops. He is from Duke, the granddaddy of flopping schools. Even Shaq flops from time to time. Just because he whines about it, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t do it.

BTW, the outlook for the Suns is not bright at all. Another year of heavy mileage on Nash and Hill. Shaq is dust. You guys might barely make the playoffs next season, but after that say hello to the lottery (better trade Black Jesus while you can).

oh my god...

don’t get suckered into this crap… he’s a suns fan… a suns fan talking trash is worse than a Rockets fan or a mavs fan talking trash. They’ve never been anywhere, or won anything. At least the mavs went to the finals, and the rockets won two chips… the suns… their list of “accomplishments” speaks for itself.

And Suns4Life, the next time you feel the need to come into a Spurs forum and say something really original, like “The Spurs are dirty…” please make sure that you come in here with something educated to say instead. The reason that nobody, and I mean NOBODY, likes the Suns is because their fans (i.e. YOU) make the completely non annoying and totally endearing habit of always finding an excuse as to why you lost. From the suspensions, to Amare and Joe Johnson’s injuries, you’ve never been able to accept the fact that not only are you not winning, but that you can’t get it done REGARDLESS of what team you put on the court. Look, losing sucks, but don’t make yourself look any more foolish by being THAT guy (the one who’s always on the court going “I would’ve beaten you if I’d have gotten a warm-up, or any other in the litany of excuses).

PtR is a place where we pride ourselves on not only talking good basketball but welcoming (and being considerate to) fans of opposing teams. Us Spurs fans know that our team isn’t the most loved team in the NBA, but we also know that around here, we don’t let ignorant trash talking fly. If you have a serious argument (and I cannot stress “SERIOUS” enough), then we’d love to have you. If not though, leave…

He was pissed wasn’t he?

and by the way...

it’s “you’re”, not “your”. “Your” is a possessive adjective, indicating ownership of something. An example would be: “Gee, Tim Duncan, YOUR championship ring collection just keeps on growing, huh?”

“You’re” is a contraction of the words “you” and “are” which, when used together, indicate being. An example would be: “Robert Sarver, no matter how hard you try year in and year out, YOU’RE just not able to find that winning combination, huh?”

gramur is fun… wifowt gramur and speling, peepil woodint no how too tolk, and owr infrastructure wood dy… totily dood…
