[spursfan1000]

First 12 pm and now 6pm tommorow....what's next 2 o'clock in morning?

[GinobiliForTres]

I have to work 4:30-8:30 tomorrow, therefore I will miss the entire Game 2. 3-11 on Saturday, so I'll miss the first two hours of Game 3. Bullshit.

[Spurtacus]

Non issue.

[Sean Cagney]

I have to work 4:30-8:30 tomorrow, therefore I will miss the entire Game 2. 3-11 on Saturday, so I'll miss the first two hours of Game 3. Bullshit.

I missed all of damn game one on Sunday and get off here 9pm ET TOMORROW! When I get home it will be the 4th Q and almost over! This schedule is bumming me out for real. I hate it.

[Yuixafun]

Record it.


I have the entire 2005 finals series vs Detroit recorded. VHS BEBE


I used to watch how game 7 unfolded over and over.. :downspin:

[Spurtacus]

Get DVR for a month. Tack it back after the playoffs. Cheap bastards.

[lefty]

I live on the East coast

So non issue for me

[DesignatedT]

6 pm start tom sucks ass

[BOHOLANO#21]

Yep! Same shit i have to deal tomorrow. I'm off work at 7pm that means i'll be at the game by halftime. I had to call in sick last sunday coz of that 12 noon tipoff...

[BOHOLANO#21]

Record it.

I recorded the last three championship runs of the spurs first round to the finals. Game 5 vs detroit my favorite...:toast

[DatBoyGood]

:lol 2 o clock in the morning

[said7]

seriously. get a dvr. Better for watching games anyways. Skip commercials and what not.

[Wild Cobra Kai]

:lol Some of you act like this is the first year this has ever happened. Hey folks: the networks hate us. Until we get into the deep rounds of the playoffs, our times will suck.

[FromWayDowntown]

:lol Some of you act like this is the first year this has ever happened. Hey folks: the networks hate us. Until we get into the deep rounds of the playoffs, our times will suck.

Particularly if they keep getting matched up with Memphis or Utah.

[Crookshanks]

That means it's a 4 pm start time in Utah - that really sucks for their fans.

[lefty]

Montreal :-)

[100%duncan]

7 am here. so non-issue

[jn77]

sucks for those of us who work in the building also. 6:00pm tip means doors open at 4. tomorrow is an early start for us all. We are not any happier then the fans, but it all comes together when you see 18,000 people going nuts for their playofff warriors!

Sooner or later they will have to cover us in primetime, conferance finals and NBA finals! Go Spurs Go!!!

[Spurtacus]

Montreal :-)

I was way off. :lol

[Brutalis]

I'm off work so it's good for me.

[lefty]

I was way off. :lol

:lol

Although ...

The company I used to work for had a project with with a San Antonio based client

Their manager would come once in a while here; I told him I was a Spurs fan

Turns out he is Sean Elliott's neighbour

Man, he has ripped Pop so many times for small ball and playing Bonner too much :lol

I recently asked him if Sean could sign on my Manu jersey; he should be back in Montreal around June
(he confirmed by email that Sean already signed the autograph)

Cant wait

[Richard Simmons]

I missed all of damn game one on Sunday and get off here 9pm ET TOMORROW! When I get home it will be the 4th Q and almost over! This schedule is bumming me out for real. I hate it.

Well dont complain its working perfect for me

[spursfan1000]

I do have DVD but it isn't the same

[Spur|n|Austin]

I have to work 4:30-8:30 tomorrow, therefore I will miss the entire Game 2. 3-11 on Saturday, so I'll miss the first two hours of Game 3. Bullshit.

Record; just make sure not to check facebook and turn off any sports apps that announce scores for you. I had to record on Sunday and made sure to stay away from all media just to not have my watching session ruined later :lol

[Obstructed_View]

It's either 6PM or 10PM. The Spurs aren't going to get the prime spot until they advance a round or two. Both teams have to show up at the same time, so it's just something to deal with.

I really miss when TNT and TBS had games on at the same time. Four a night made for better scheduling and seems like the first round didn't take as long.

[Splits]

:lol All you complaining waiters pulling bs shifts when you're watching the game carrying your chicken wings.

[Legacy]

Non-issue for me as well.



:flag:

[MannyIsGod]

5pm here. I should be home, though. Also, this means the game will be over before some MLS games I want to watch.

[flipspursfan]

6 pm start tom sucks ass

nice sig bro, who's that?

[mudyez]

wasnt it the Spurs team, that started practices very late in the day just to make sure their players are prepared for the games.

practices: 4pm
game: noon

WTF? :)

[NickiRasgo]

7 am here. so non-issue

I have to sleep early.

[mudyez]

midnight here...no problem as well :)

[BillMc]

:lol 2 o clock in the morning

Actually, the game will be on at 2 AM for us poor souls in Ukraine! But I will be watching coffee in hand!

:flag::flag:

[Slomo]

midnight here...no problem as well :)

1 am, just FYI :)

[jhfenton]

I'm happy with any game times that aren't 10 or 10:30 Eastern time.

I'm leading a pace group in our marathon Sunday morning, so I won't be able to watch any of Saturday's game live. I have to be up by 4 Sunday morning.

I'm loving tonight's game time.

[100%duncan]

Our time though makes it sweeter to watch the LAC-Mem game.

[smaka]

Don't complain guys! 6pm in SA is 1am here and 7:30pm is in the middle of the night, plus, no live streams on tv, have to watch games on my laptop with *high-quality* streams :( so yeah, don't coplain! :P

[100%duncan]

We got our own fair share of time burdens. Game 1 was 1 am here, and I slept around 4. :lol

[Xevious]

I work 7p-7a so DVR is the only way I can watch games that take place on work days.

[Muser]

We got our own fair share of time burdens. Game 1 was 1 am here, and I slept around 4. :lol

:tu been watching Spurs all year at 1/2 am. Early games are a god send.

[Horse]

No shit

[100%duncan]

:tu been watching Spurs all year at 1/2 am. Early games are a god send.

Lucky me only had to do it once. But that game 1 was a really great experience. You know, you're awake in the middle of the night fucking screaming for "Maaanu", "WTF Bonner?", "TP to TD!". :lmao

[bus driver]

should be able to make it home from work within a hour. hopefully am not behind someone who thinks they are in a parade

[Budkin]

I have to work until 7 so I'll miss the first hour but at least I can keep checking the score on the internet.

[Jimcs50]

Stop your whinnng. I moved away from SA in 84, so for 7 years, I went to all the playoff games only to see them bow out to Lakers and Bullets every year. Since I left, they have won 4 championships and only Finals game I saw live was game 2 against Knicks. Now I have to wait til the Spurs have a home playoff game on a Saturday in order to see them play, which only happens every blue moon. So boohoo, the Spurs have a couple of weird starting times so you spoiled brats have to adjust your schedules in order to watch them. BTW, there is such a thing as a DVR.

:p:

[Nathan Explosion]

Yeah, I'm not liking the start time either. Every Wednesday I play basketball with some guys from work, and since I had to work last week, I want to be there this week. It's the only time I get to get out and get some cardio exercise, so I don't like missing it.

And I don't like to DVR the game because I went on a run of like 3 games in a row where, when I recorded the game, the Spurs lost. Stupid superstition I know, and has nothing to do with the outcome of the game, but, you know, I can't risk it.

If the game is on Fox Sports, then I can watch the replay of DVR that and run through it tomorrow.

Superstition is a bitch. I've got some weird superstitions when it comes to the Spurs, even regarding what I'm wearing. I also have to make sure my dog has his jersey on :lol

My kids can't wear the colors of the opposing teams. On game day, my shirt has to be black or gray too. I won't go any further, but that's only the start.

It started as just wearing my teams colors since I'm not a jersey guy, but it kind of morphed from there.

[JazzFanz69]

They are doing you a favor. You don't want to see Hayward pounce on dat ass tonight.

[The ADMIRAL 50]

That means it's a 4 pm start time in Utah - that really sucks for their fans.

Actually 5 o'clock, its an hour difference I believe.

But yea good point regardless. I've been pissed about the times as well but meanwhile in Utah game one started at 11 in the morning (when all the Mormons were in church) and now tonight the game will be at 5. 6PM start time is bullshit, it'll be tough for our arena to be packed when everyone has to worry about getting there from work. Pretty unfair to impact a teams home court advantage like that for the playoffs tbh.

The arena does not get going til the 4th quarter anyway. Spurs' arena not like Oklahoma City arena or a college arena.

Ask Lebron's mom.

sad but true. when I was younger I remember games being much more electric. still a disadvantage nonetheless, I will say SA crowd steps it up come playoff time and with the arena being relatively 'meh' at the beginning of games already having half the fans still finding their seats or headed to the stadium is not the best situation to be in. that said, I dont think it'll matter, but not the fairest shake regardless.

[Beaverfuzz]

4pm game out here on the west, that's what a DVR is for.

You mean like they stepped up against Memphis last year? The crowd at the last game was better, I will give them that. But still, a 6 pm start timeis an east coast thing.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

A). TV ratings are about cold hard $ not respect. deal with it.

B). Get a freakin DVR.

[The ADMIRAL 50]

fair enough, I'll be the first to admit our crowd doesnt hold a candle to the OKCs or even Utahs of the league. We used to be a lot better, even to the point where we would be mentioned among the tougher places to play, but its been a long, long time since then. I honeslt think our winning ways have spoiled our fan base, the desire and drive just isnt there like it used to be. People still love the Spurs just as much, but having been to the top so many times before coming up short doesnt hurt nearly as much, and having been through so many intense playoff runs in the past the crowd seems to take it for granted now.

[G-Nob]

Beats the hell outta staying up to 1am including post game and the sort. I should be in bed by a reasonable 9:30pm with jammies on and teddy bear in hand.

I remember when I first started going to games at the Hemisphair Arena. That place was loud, the crowd was literally on top of the court. The baseline line bums were actually on the baseline and would more than likely physically injure an opposing player that got near them. Good times!

:tu

My first Spurs games were spent on my grandfather's lap at Hemisfair arena. I dont remember much but I remember it was LOUD.

(side bar: My grandfather was essential in brokering the move of the Chapparals to San Antonio, but because he wasnt one of the wealthier backers like Red or Drossos he never gets the credit. Tim Derk did give him a nice shout out in his book from a few years back, where he recounts the anecdote of my grandpa discovering him at San Pedro Playhouse in a vaudeville act and recruiting him to be the team's mascot. He did misspell our family's name, but it always gets misspelled and Derk seems like a great guy by all accounts so I've let it slide :p:)

[Slutter McGee]

Superstition is a bitch. I've got some weird superstitions when it comes to the Spurs, even regarding what I'm wearing. I also have to make sure my dog has his jersey on :lol

I change my dogs collar from his normal TTU collar to his Spurs collar for the playoffs every year.

Sincerely,

At the Hemisfair Arena, my ears were always ringing after every game, even regular season games. Playoff games would practically leave you deaf for an hour afterwards.The crowds at At&T Center today are more like Laker crowds, sad but true.

The PA announcer even has to say that ubiquitous "A little help" line which is quite embarrassing really.

[Obstructed_View]

I remember Stan Kelly saying that at Hemisfair.

I only recall Kelly saying that, and he's been gone for two seasons, I think.

I live on the East coast

So non issue for me

I live in Spain

So it's great for me

[Jimcs50]

I only recall Kelly saying that, and he's been gone for two seasons, I think.

Point is, the PA announcer thought there was a need to say that, cuz the arena would be dead at points. I mean I could actually carry on a conversation with my friends without screaming. I don't think you can do that in Oklahoma City. The Spurs crowd has really gotten lame over the past 10 years, unless it was late in 4th Q, or there is a rival game.

I do not know why this transformation has come about, but it sucks.

[Legacy]

Is it Saturday yet? FFS.
