This is a biased entry, because I do not like the Spurs. My basis for this is that they play the boring, fundamental basketball game that sent the NBA into a post-Jordan depression. In a sense, to root for the Spurs or the Pistons is to root against the NBA, their Finals series received the lowest ratings like, ever, for good reason. Although I'll admit, the Spurs aren't quite so boring anymore. I'd be lying if I said that Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli are not two of the more exciting players in the league to watch, albeit not in the typical style, chalk it up to their status as internationals. Of course there is still Tim Duncan who I am not a fan of. How can you get excited about a player whose nickname is "The Big Fundamental"? The ways he looks down at the floor as he drives to the hoop after a post-up, the weird way he shoots free throws, I dunno...I don't like it.
You know who the Spurs remind me of? Hillary Clinton, though I don't want to get political here. Just like Hillary, they'll do WHATEVER they have to to win. If that means dirty play from Bruce Bowen, Tony Parker taking dives, the old hack-a-Shaq technique, fine by them. Of course I can't really say there is anything wrong with this, you can't hate on a team just because they are resourceful enough to win more than anyone else. I was just reminded of Clinton, that's all. And these days, I don't think that is a compliment.
