All my friends that are so called "Pelicans fans" are cheering for the Spurs and I thinks its a disgrace

how will I continue living my life knowing I am a disgrace in mrpacksix's eyes

You don't EVER cheer for a division rival

you do realize this rivalry only exists in y'alls eyes. the spurs do not consider us a rival or their equal. we are nothing to them. we had one playoff series with them back in 08 it was heartbreaking and tough to get over but one series doesn't make a blood rival. y'all have fabricated this rivalry for some weird reason

Considering that Monty and Dell are trying to turn the Pelicans into Spurs-lite, it's actually in our benefit to root for that team. Convincing players like Davis in the future to stick it out here and pointing to them as an example is a contributing factor in what Monty/Dell are trying to accomplish.

Further, I got to attend a Spurs NBA Finals game against the Pistons my senior year of high school (friend's dad had the hook up with Whitney, which had Hornets/Rockets/Mavs/Spurs at the time). The arena is right smack in the middle of a neighborhood, the crowd is raucous, and the drive home is pretty awesome. You have to drive through the neighborhoods to get back to downtown SA and 50% (not exaggerating) of the houses had people in their lawn, on their porch, waving around Spurs flags to the traffic. The Heat fans are notoriously awful fans.

Just dont cheer for anyone

Huh? What's the fun in that? Besides, I think you're massively overstating the fact that we're cheering FOR the Spurs and not AGAINST the Heat.
