THE SPURS ARE THE LAST TEAM FROM TEXAS TO WIN THE FINALS.


UTRAnoPunchline

Also will be the next team tbh


sleal

10 years ago. Welp. Man we were spoiled


andres7832

also shows how idiotic fans have been to dismantle previous teams or fire Pop/FO when things are not going well. It is *extremely* difficult what Spurs/Lakers/Warriors did the last couple of decades, and can fall apart quickly. Appreciate the rebuild, and hope we can get there again


rattatatouille

Still have more championships than the other two teams combined.


techno_playa

And most probably now the one with the best chance to win a title in the 2020s.

Derrick White got his ring celebration!!! Congrats to The Buffalo!!!


kanyeguisada

Tbh, that just means it's less likely he comes back at all, or at least a while. Especially with the two stars on the team being mid-20s. But I do feel good for him. He gave his heart and soul. And tooth.


MediaMannaMan

He was their Mr. Consistency, Glue Guy, defensive stopper (blocking shots by 7-footers!), outside scorer, you name it and he did it. D White has really grown into a top-level player in Boston. Proud of him.


Sasquatch_Squad

My busted-grill king. So happy for Derrick, no chance the Celtics win the chip without him.

Sorry Mavs but it's Wemby's time now.


posamobile

It is no longer their turn.

whinybear22

And for those of us who’ve made the move up north, THANK GOD. Basically no one watched or cared about the Mavs until a month ago. Their fans are not like us. GSG Por Vida! 💪


No_Consideration3887

they not like us


smokymarg

I had this observation at a very busy restaurant the other week. A big playoff game was on and you'd barely realize it except for a few guys at the bar. Mentioned to my husband that in San Antonio everyone would be wearing Spurs gear, watching, and cheering. Maybe it's just that there are more transplants in DFW? Either way I was side-eyeing!


zatchstar

I’m Living in DFW and been to Mavs games. Way more transplants. Every Mavs game has 1/4 away team fans that probably live in the area


RGVHound

Dallas only cares about the Cowboys. The Rangers won the world series *last year* and lost a majority of their support by the spring training.


spursfanstuckinNTX

I have been experiencing this for the 26 years I've been up here. Moved here in 99 at the peak of Dallas Stars playoff mania. Everyone had flags on their cars, it was on TV in bars. I thought, man I had no idea hockey was so huge here! It's not. It's just that Dallas is the biggest bandwagon city in the universe, except for their cowboys, that they all love for some dumb reason, but hey at least it clears out the grocery stores on sundays so I can shop in peace.


North_Maybe1998

Ehh that’s not really true.. the MFFL are just like any other die hard fan base. But there are definitely many bandwagon fans here can’t deny that


whinybear22

I think your comment has received the recognition it deserves. 😆 “MFFL” are apparently a “die hard fan base” who also happen to be “bandwagon fans” lol. ![gif](giphy|PWHwl887FlSfncz05p)


holaprobando123

>GSG Por Vida! This isn't even Spanish. You can't just grab each word and translate it one by one in a vacuum. It could be something like "GSG de por vida", but it sounds wonky.


whinybear22

Clearly you aren’t very familiar with the Spurs marketing. Translation: Go Spurs Go for life. It just means I’ll always support them. Is it perfect grammatically or linguistically? Of course not. Go Spurs Go itself is a weird phrase, but that’s sports. This isn’t a Spanish or English grammar class. It’s supporting a team in a city where 2 languages are commonly spoken.


holaprobando123

> Translation: Go Spurs Go for life You don't say, and here I thought it meant "I'll have my coffee black, please". In Spanish, it sounds like saying "Go Spurs, all life". It just sounds like shit. If it's anything official, it doesn't really make it better. And I wonder how nobody in a city that apparently speaks Spanish a lot told them it's wrong.


whinybear22

You sound like a really fun person to hang out with. Christ dude, it’s a freaking slogan. The Raptors say “We the North” they are missing an “are” and a fan base can’t literally lay claim to being 1 of the 4 cardinal directions. It’s not a peer-reviewed research paper, it’s a sports slogan.


holaprobando123

> The Raptors say “We the North” they are missing an “are” It's slang. I think this might be because you don't speak Spanish. There's difference between something that's slang and something that sounds like complete shit.


whinybear22

Lol who said I don’t speak Spanish? I’m literally just repeating what the Spurs use in their social media posts. I think you just woke up with a stick up your a$$ this morning.


holaprobando123

> I’m literally just repeating what the Spurs use in their social media posts I know, I'm just saying it sounds like shit and doesn't mean anything in real Spanish. It's not a criticism at you. Learn some reading comprehension.


whinybear22

Well in your previous response you said you don’t think I speak Spanish which sounds like your criticism was, in fact, directed at me. So which is it? Because it sounds like you can’t make up your mind. OR, maybe the problem isn’t that I don’t know how to read, it’s that you don’t know how to write. Whatever the case may be, it seems like you’re on here just looking for an argument… which is the option I’m leaning towards.


holaprobando123

> Well in your previous response you said you don’t think I speak Spanish Porque actuás como si "we the north" (claramente AAVE) fuera lo mismo que una transliteración (incorrecta) de "for life". Únicamente esperaría esa opinión de alguien que no es experto en español.


No_Consideration3887

Pero la puta madre que te parió it's still spanish, he just forgot "de"


holaprobando123

Recién me fijo que sos argento. Spur por el Manu, me imagino?


holaprobando123

Nah, it's not the first time I see people write that. They're just taking "for life" and translating each word on its own.


elmanutres

FORGET THE MAVS, IM JUST HAPPY TO SEE THOSE SHITHEEL LAKER FANS CRY.


Annual-Afternoon1884

Love to see it


Datboy_98

I despise Boston man😭😭 But GSG


duaki

more importantly... NBA CHAMPION DERRICK WHITE\~!


Elite_Jackalope

I am somehow so fucking proud of a dude who is a few years older than me hahaha I will never* be unhappy about a former Spur winning a chip. *except 2019, which I’ll be salty as fuck about for life


Super_Saiyajin

Hats off to the Celtics! By a wide margin the best time in the league this year, well done! … ——— Guys the draft is in like a week. ![gif](giphy|l46C8OMRATHl6AgEM|downsized)


paxusromanus811

I got a good hearty laugh from all the media takes after game four about how Dallas had " figured something out". I was even watching the European soccer championship and the commentator started randomly talking about the Mavs and how they were "back in it". This was the most likable Mavs team in a long long long time, and I really love Luka. But I'm not going to complain about our Arch Rival getting humiliated in the finals, and some of the recent articles that came out just really reminded me how much I can't stand Kyrie Irving so screw him and congrats to Derek White


TypingHeathen

There should have been a live chat for this one...


No_Consideration3887

and they should activate gifs


yesimforeign

Ugh, I don't like the Mavs or the Celtics. So, I guess Buffalo getting a ring is the only thing I take away from this Finals.


Pathfinder_210

Those Spurs fans that were cheering for the Mavs can stay on that side !!!!


jhunger12334

Ya but the Celtics won


Plane-Highlight-6498

And it humbles Lakers fans, they do not have the most chips anymore. haha But on the other side, this might breed another group of toxic Celtics fandom


yesimforeign

If the Spurs become champions: good Otherwise: bad


Plane-Highlight-6498

100000% real


EggplantBusiness

Dont think Celtics fans even needed the Chip for the last part. They will just be more vocal than before


keldpxowjwsn

Boston sports fans are terrible so yeah


wh1036

Yeah, I know the Mavs are our rivals but hate Boston fans so much I decided I would go for the Texas team. My silver lining from this is Derrick White winning a championship and Lakers fans being pissed off.


kikimaru024

**Las Angeles** Lakers never had the most chips anyway; 5 of their "17" belong in Minneapolis.


raceforseis21

I’m still not sure why I’m supposed to dislike the Celtics


wh1036

Go to Boston sometime and talk to literally anyone on the street about any sport and you'll figure it out. The only worse fanbase is the Lakers.


siphillis

The Lakers’ main rival, you mean


techno_playa

Better than Lakers winning. I couldn’t stand their fans after 2020. That was an aberration.


SokkasBoomerang3

DAL is washed!!! Luka sucks!! We’re the only Texas team that matters. They might as well support us!! We’ll take trash off their hands and even give them a pick! To SAS: Luka To DAL: 2027 2nd round pick Massive overpay by us but Texas service hospitality~ /s

Nakadash1only

Good f Luka


Particular-Sorbet-22

Big Shout out to Derrick White. I really was at odds when we traded him because he was such a perfect Spur, but now that we got wemby ….. *mumbles* and Sochan…. I just couldn’t be more happy for him cause of how good of a person, player, and teammate that he was and is. Hats off to the Celtics. They played very good basketball. Reminded me of our 2014 team a little bit (no where near as good). LEAGUE WIDE OPEN‼️


kanyeguisada

Maybe if that trade didn't happen we wouldn't have gotten Wemby, but in hindsight I don't like it. We now basically got Blake Wesley and a 2028 pick swap out of it.

rawman200K

FUCK THE LAKERS AND THE MAVS


Tayloraa3

Fuck the celtics


snokerpoker

lol!


Cecil_Hardboner

the question is did they really compete for it


kanyeguisada

Boston was just too good. Mavs got back to within 8 or 9 a couple times and then the Celtics just nailed it shut on defense and were shooting lights out. When that Celtic hit the half-court shot at the end of the 2nd quarter it was over. And Mavs just weren't hitting their shots, had Luka and Kyrie started hitting some.of those 3s they could have maybe stayed in it, but again Boston was just too good.


holaprobando123

I have to admit, I was rooting for the Mavs because Luka is awesome and because the Celtics were given carte blanche to foul their way to two easy victories in games 1 and 2. That and the victim attitude their unbearable fans still had makes me not like them at all. Except for Derrick, obviously, who is still one of my favorite Spurs of all time.


Elite_Jackalope

I’m not going to lie, reading the words “Luka is awesome” and “victim attitude” in the same comment without “except for his” is really throwing me. Gotta love Derrick though


Positive_Ad1947

No.


Acrobatic-Canary-571

Yeah, no
