Where do the spurs fans congregate

 

[Chris Craig]

Why is Patty starting over Parker? Oh, thats right he is old now

Not completely true. Australian Footballer Robert Harvey was so desperate to alleviate the pain of his seemingly never healing plantar fascia, that he jumped off of a table causing it to rupture completely. Years late another Australian Footballer Josh Kennedy, inspired by the story of Harvey, got his team doctor to numb his foot with pain killers, and repeatedly ran sprints causing his plantar fascia to rupture. In both cases the players had instant relief, and were able to play pain free. That said, every doctor ever asked to comment on either case has said that it's a bad idea to try to deliberately rupture your plantar fascia.

Jesus fucking christ!

Sorry if it's been related elsewhere, but the #1, #2 and #3 seeds in the West play tonight. If they all win, NOP will be alone in 5th, 1/2 game up on 4 teams in the 6-9 seeds with identical 45-35 records with 2 games to play.

Ok so how do we get the fourth seed lol

They literally have the worst forum on the internet. I haven't gone over there in years because it's full of just absolute filth and racism on the main board.

Some of our forum members are classy and take it to the OT forum.

Spurs were lucky for years to employ guys who refused to be paid market value ( Frenchs, Argentinians, Australian and Virgin Islanders).
They tried to screw an American to go cheap (Leonard) and he refused. Now the model franchise is on the verge of missing the playoffs.
Would you rather eliminate the Spurs tonight or in a 7 game series?

Either works for me though I'd prefer OKC to miss playoffs. OKC is easy to beat though so maybe we should be in favor of Minnesota missing out.

 

[joeBlazers]

Thunders missing would be epic. They will blame it on Melo or better just blame it on bench players ... Collison.

 

[DDolla]

Damn I’m not to sure about this game and the next against Denver. I hope I’m wrong, please please Blazers prove me wrong.

No Roberson is their excuse on call.

In both games, we'll have the best player on the floor.

This would've been a national story if we had won.

For like 10 seconds on ESPN.

Not sure he's the best if he's not at 100%

I don't think so. I think it might've crossed over into regular news. Winning in garbage time with players who rarely/never play. Might've even gotten a feature on 60 Minutes. I'm serious.

lol.

I think so still.

 

[LuckyShot]

If Dame gets reinjured or looks gimpy I'll be so angry I might go blind.

 

[KingSpeed]

lol.

Giannis was on 60 Minutes this year. Our garbage time win would've been a real human interest story that people who don't follow the NBA closely could've related to. Kind of a mini-Linsanity, an NBA story that crosses over.

I think he'll be okay.

How exactly did they try and screw Kawhi Leonard? He's on a max deal and not available for an extension until this summer. They also gave Aldridge a max deal and extended him when the time came.
