I read this with a 50/50 view. Either you're being sarcastic.... Or you're speaking truth and it shows our fan base is awful.

Then take yo ass to the Spurs forum. And yeah, rooting for another team... there is something wrong with that. But I guess that's subjective.

Do you know fan stands for "fanatic?" Look it up in the dictionary.

As for the Spurs playing basketball the right way, that's commendable. But at the end of the day that's the opposition.

You wearing that logo in this forum and calling yourself a Heat fan is pitiful, disgusting, embarrassing, and many other negative adjectives I'm too tired to list.

Sack up.

I'll salvage this. Hey, remember when we all wanted Acie Law IV real bad in the draft? He just won a couple championships in Greece after ending last year in GSW and signing overseas when the lockout started. In all seriousness, we're probably about the same off with Cole, unless we'd play Law at backup 2.

If your a heat fan...you cant really be a fan of anything else. The rest of the NBA is such an enemy to the heat

I understand what Gio and Adam are saying though. It's not that they are fans of the Spurs, but they are fans of the way they play, and the style of coaching Popovich has implemented there. Every role player flourishes in that system, and their big 3 have been good for a decade. They are what we aspire to be.

Gio and Adam are huge Heat fans, they're long time posters on this board, so I don't know how anyone can dispute this. Being fans of basketball played "the right way" is not a crime or lack of "fandom".

I like the way the Patriots play football. I hate the ****in team and want them to die.

So this logic is just terrible. You can appreciate another team's game without sporting their ****in logo.

If I'm the only one who has a problem seeing that shit, this fan base is worse than I thought.

Flippin 4 teams left and the Heat and Spurs happen to be 2 of them.

Maybe it is because I am not from MIA but I am a die hard fan of The Heat since 04 and I am also a fan of OKC (but mainly due to KD). I don't believe in the "I'm a fan of one team so I want to kill all other teams".

At the end of the day, Heat are my number 1 and should OKC meet with Heat in the Finals, I will still be yelling my lungs out for The Heat.

I am fan of the game. Basketball. And I can recognize and like other teams without being a traitor to my own team.

I do have to agree that seeing the Spurs logo all over in here is bothering me too.

The only reason I got Lakers in my avatar is because of Rodman. I wouldn't be sporting another team's logo. No matter how much I like them.

[R-Star]

I understand the idea of liking other teams. Hell, I like quite a few NBA teams. However, I'm partially agreeing with BlackNRed here (that's right). The Heat are still in the playoffs. How the hell do you even care about another team in that situation?

Right now I'm enjoying the Thunder and Spurs, but if the Pacers were still in the hunt the only thing I'd hope for is that those two teams beat the shit out of each other to wear them down for the Finals.

Why are we starting a debate on something that is being done tongue-in-cheek as a joke? There's way too much talk about level of fandom. ****ing enough with the e-toughness and message board cred shit. If you're posting on a basketball message board, for 7 or 10 years no less, there's no reason to even have a discussion of allegiance.

The Spurs avatar stays. I don't give a **** if you don't like it.

It has nothing to do with e-toughness or whatever cop out you'd like to call it.

Your team is still in the playoffs. Still trying to win a title, and you're rocking not 1 but 2 Spurs logo's.

Whatever though. None of my business. Just strikes me as odd.

[Jace]

I never saw it as a show of fandom or allegiance to that team. I've viewed as a tongue-in-cheek, superstitious nod to a well-respected franchise, sparked by a woefully underachieving stretch of play from the team we all here (for the most part, at least) know they're passionate about.

For instance, I don't think Gio or Adam are going to feel any bit dejected if the Spurs lose tomorrow. They're not sitting on their couches fist-pumping every good Spurs play and chastising refs for anti-SA calls.

[Jace]

Would be awesome if Andre Drummond took a DeAndre Jordan type fall to us.

Someone hack into his phone and tweet his self-shot, nude photos on his twitter account (he inevitably has some). Send a letter to Riles explaining what you did so they don't pass up on him because of it.

Dude, it's R-Star. You should know as well as anyone how seriously he takes the internet.

You try so hard.

It really is sad.
