He doesn't answer obvious questions from reporters. That's not a lack of class, it's understandable.

Artic,

If you ignore someone when you are starring at them - it is an act of complete disrespect. Try doing that to your boss. Let me know how that conversation went...

Yeah, he disrepects reporters in that manner. Someone said a few posts back that he is brash. I think that's where that comes from.

the odds statistically are in favor of it being someone from another state? Jesus Christ - like someone from another state, who really doesn't care about the Suns all that, would take the time to somehow find out exactly where the Spurs are staying (probably not the easiest info to get as opposed to living in Phoenix and knowing where teams usually stay or local radio or media types getting the word the word out), and then calls IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?!

Sorry, but the above hypothesis is just, quite frankly as naively homeristic as it comes.

Again, I didn't say it wasn't probable. I just am making the point until I see an arrest stating that it was a Suns fan it's a weak example of how Suns fans have no class. We are not the only fans in the NBA that hate the Spurs. Our hate for the Spurs doesn't compare to the Mavs fans hate of the Spurs. Pointing out the obvious is hardly homeristic.

I agree with this. It's always a mistake to judge a group by the acts of an individual.

I found this interesting article that pretty much sums up my thoughts on Bobby Orr. The guy is a average at best ball player that has horrible character issues that get lost in the shadows of a few clutch shots he's made in his career.

Notehttp://www.slate.com/id/2121018/ this article came out in 2005


Here is the best paragraph and if it came out today they would have to add the Bobby Orr biting Stackhouse and the play on Nash.

The Big Shot Bob persona is so overwhelming that it blocks out more than missed shots. Remember when Horry took a swing at Utah's Jeff Hornacek in 1997? What a clutch punch! Or when he threw a towel in the face of his coach, Danny Ainge, that same year? Dagger! How about when he got fined for shoving a cameraman in 2003? Now that's killer instinct!

Now that guy is class. But Spurs fans like to support this type of player and will defend him with such blind homerism and then try to pretend that NBA fans all over, not just Suns fans, consider him to be a "dirty player" is so out of reach.

Spurs fans have just been stuck in the hell hole of San Antonio Texas and have tasted success from the only show in town that it doesn't really matter the players they have that get them there. In their minds they are all angels.


....and before it gets started we all know the Raja Bell Kobe incident of last year so don't try to throw that one at us because most if not all agree that it was a dirty play. Thats the HUGE difference between Suns and Spurs fans, IMO. MOst of us can call it the way it is even if is going to disparage one of our players.

Monday night was the game in San Antonio.

Sorry but Spurs fans have never called in a bomb threat to an opposing teams hotel. That goes far and behind anything.


No, your team just sends in guys who have barley played in the regular season to intentionally hard foul the star player on the other team, so the Spurs stars don't face suspension, yet the Suns' who came to Nash's defense get suspended. Class act all the way, San Antonio.

That's assuming that it was even a Suns fan. Anybody reading the headlines and looking at fan polls can clearly see that the Spurs are the most hated team in the NBA right now. I would say the odds statistically are in favor of it being someone from another state.

You Spurs fans are reaching for the stars just to make yourselves feel a little better about being the most hated team in the NBA right now.

Well, THIS post makes absolutely no sense at all. Where do you get your statistics, "Ripley's Believe It or Not"?

Did I quote specifics? Are you quoting some to debunk my theory? I didn't say it was fact just my opinion. So get off your high horse Chap. I was basing it on the recent sports polls and all the media headlines. I think that it's safe to say that most of those national polls are not all Suns fans voting. Also, I would bet that there are not more Suns fans per capita then Mav fans or fans from other states. Visit any Mavs forums and I would say that their "love" for the Spurs is much better then ours. By the way there are often facts mixed in with Ripley' Believe it or Not. Now believe that or not.
