Sopranos or Spurs?

[50 cent]

This really sucks tonight.

I'm going to Tivo the Spurs game and watch Sopranos live and immediately switch over to the game and try to start catching up. By skipping halftime, I should be live before the game ends.

[MadDog73]

:wtf

Why not TIVO Sopranos?

It's not like it's scripted or something...

[spurtime]

I'm gonna watch Sopranos at 11:00 on HBO West (504 on Directv).

[CharlieMac]

Sopranos. No question.

[judaspriestess]

I'm going to DVR the Sopranos

[BlackFlagg]

Puleeze... you even have ask? :lol :lol :lol

Go, Spurs, Go!!!

[baseline bum]

WTF are you all doing on a Spurs forum if Sopranos is more important that the fucking NBA Finals? Fuck Sopranos, I'd turn down head from Meadow to watch a Spurs Finals game.

Some Pussy Spurs "fans" out there...

I would rather just ignore Spurtalk and watch Sopranos and then catch up to the game. Skipping commericials and Halftime, I should be caught up before the end of the 3rd.

Geez, it's a good thing the NBA doesn't determine Championships by their fanbase.

Spurs have the worst fans in the NBA. I think Bobcat fans are better.

I won't be missing a damn thing and will be back with the game before the 4th begins having watched it all.

The Sopranos is probably my favorite show of all time and this is the last episode forever.

Hopefully, this won't be the Spurs last Championship run.

[Pistons < Spurs]

WOW the ratings for tonights game are really going to suck if even Spurs fans decide to watch the Sopranos over game 2 of the FINALS. :dizzy

[arial]

Split screen that shit if you have a digital box that supports it. Then select to use the audio on the Sopranos, problem solved.

[ChumpDumper]

I can't believe spurfans consider it a choice.

[BigBeezie]

I really don't give a crap about the Sopranos. It's a stupid television show (scripted)...as sports are the ultimate reality show!!!

[Thunder Dan]

I know what happens in the Final episode, so if you want to know send me a private message. All I will say is that it's pretty disappointing

But I'm going game, then watch it on HBOW at midnight EST

[timvp]

I know plenty of Spurs fans who are going to DVR the Spurs game while they watch the Sopranos and then catch back up on the Spurs game. I don't know how many in this forum will admit it, though.

So yeah, it's a valid thread.

[thispego]

I can't believe spurfans consider it a choice.
seriously. i asked somone where they were gonna watch the game and he said they were going to watch it at home so they could watch the sopranos first. i thought he was joking.

[itzsoweezee]

It just idiotic for people to call out my "loyalty" as a Spurs fan.


no, it's pretty valid considering you're choosing a fictional tv show over the spurs.

[duncan228]

I'm lucky...I'm on the West Coast. The game should be over before Soprano's starts.
If not I'll catch Soprano's on HBO On Demand. No way I leave the game before it's over.I like Soprano's, but I love the Spurs.

[NorCal510]

damn you guys suck as fans

its a damn tv show!!!

spurs fans...

[50 cent]

Tonight really could set an all-time NBA Finals low for ratings because of the Sopranos.

Pretty stupid of the NBA to go up against something like that. They could have started the game at 5pm CST.

Not that any of us gives a shit about ratings though as long as we get the hardware.

I'm not choosing anything over the other. I am going to be able to see both and see both of their finales in real time since I will be able to catch up to the Spurs game. :rolleyes

I do the same thing. Or I put in on pause for 10-15 minutes so I can watch a good 30 minute stretch without interuption.

I can't believe I am being cruicified for this, but I guess it's not that suprising based on the average IQ level of Spurstalk posters.

[Kori Ellis]

It's the Finals, so it's funny to me that a Spurs fan wouldn't just tape The Sopranos and watch it right after the game. But to each his own.

It's like people who miss Spurs games to go see a movie the day it's coming out. The movie will be still be playing tomorrow. *shrug*

[ChumpDumper]

"Where were you when [insert awesome Spurs play here] happened in the 2007 Finals."

Again... split screen if you have a digital box or a tv that supports it and choose the auido for the Sopranos if you must.

[Leetonidas]

24 is my favorite show of all time and I missed the season finale last year to watch Game 7 of Spurs vs. Mavs.

Come on now.

[Spurminator]

I'm watching Sopranos and DVRing the Spurs game so I can speed through commercials and halftime. It's the most time efficient way to watch both.

I'll still see the end of the game at the same time as all of the real Spurs fans.

[50 cent]

:lmao @ real time. The Sporanos was filmed months ago.
Yes, but I'm saying I will see it in "real time" as it is being released to the public.

Frankly, the Sopranos is more suspenseful than the Spurs series. I know the outcome of this series - title #4 in 5 games, maybe 4. I don't know what is going to happen with the Sopranos tonight.

[mrsmaalox]

Bring two TVs into the room and watch them side by side. You may or may not need two sound surround system.
That's what I was going to do, but then I found out my TV has picture-in-picture :elephant I wouldn't mind seeing the Sopranos at a later time but I'm afraid it will be too hard to avoid the spoilers.

[Spurminator]

And I guess I don't understand why seeing it "live" is so important. I watched the Spurs win their first Championship on my parents' VCR at 2:30 in the morning because I had to work that night.

I caught up to the end of Game 5 of the 2005 Finals on DVR right before the Rip Hamilton miss.

I have no regrets about not seeing either of those live.

[ChumpDumper]

Yes, but I'm saying I will see it in "real time" as it is being released to the public.Something you can tell your grandchildren about, no doubt.

It would be another thing if I actually had tickets to the game. It would be a no brainer in that case. I would never pick a movie or TV show over attending a Spurs game.

Well I kind of understand this situation (watching the Sopranos) more than the movie situation. Tonight, all that these people are going to do is speed through the first half of the game on TIVO, and watch the rest of it in "real time". People who have tickets to go to a Spurs game and skip it to go to the movies is super lame to me. :lol But like I said, to each his own.

I'll be there in "real time" for the 2nd half.

It's not like I'm buring my tickets to the game to stay home and watch Sopranos.

[Kori Ellis]

Yeah, but this isn't the Bobcats in January; it's the NBA Finals.

Like I said, I would just watch the Sopranos after. But I can see their point - they watch both by the time the Spurs game ends.

I'd never miss a Spurs game to go to the movies though.

[Spurs>mavs]

Spurs.

I could aways DVR the sopranos.

[ChumpDumper]

"They cursed alot. Every once in awhile somebody died."

[Thunder Dan]

The best options were both said already. You have to watch both tonight because if you go to work in the morning the talk will either be a) NBA Finals or B) Soprano Finale

So just watch the west coast feed, or watch Sopranos, DVR the game so you can FF through commercials and Halftime. Thankfully you can do that because HBO is commercial free

[Spurminator]

50cent you should be so obsessed with the first half score that you'd be willing to stay up an hour later than necessary on a work night so you can know the score at the same time as everyone else..

[SRJ]

My answer should be obvious as I have never seen one episode of the Sopranos in my life.

BTW, this thread should be in the "Taking A Dynasty For Granted" Forum.

[mikeanthony21]

I'm going to DVR the Sopranos

Me too, and I still say Tony's gonna whack Phil then turn Mob-snitch for the Feds!

[timvp]

Not that I care, but are the ratings calculated at the beginning of the game or at the end? If it's the beginning, we might see the lowest rated game in Finals history.

It's funny that the NBA put this game on Sunday night so it would get alot of viewers, but they put it up against the series finale of one of the most popular shows in America over the last 8 years. It should beat hockey though.

I will start watching the Spurs at 3am and at the end i will start downloading Sopranos.

I should have it by 6am and then before i see it it will be 7 or 8 am.

If I had to choose between the two obviously I'm watching the Spurs game. But if I have to choose between watching both in 3 hours or 4 hours (with commercials), I'm going with the shorter option. If that makes me less of a fan so be it. You real fans enjoy the ABC Halftime Show. Let me know what Stephen A Smith and Jon Barry have to say.

Umm, then why not watch the game in real time, DVR the Sporanos, then at halftime watch the Sopranoes all the way and miss about 3-4 minutes of the 3rd qt.

I love the Sopranos, can't wait for tonights episode but you're shitfaced if you think I'm not DVRing it and watching it after the the game, maybe even tomorrow.

And LOL at whoever said you need orhave to watch it when it's "new" to the general public like that'll make it seem any more important of a series finale. Is there some type of secret power you have hidden where you are able to take into the general public's mind during series finales?

[mrcoon29]

Spurs first - I'm not so complacent that I believe the Spurs will make it back to the Finals again (we've yet to be able to perform a back to the Finals the next season) - so this could be it for this team.
Soprano episodes are easily available to everyone by some means or another.

[DudleyDawson]

I know what's going to happen in the first half of the Spurs game. We'll get down by 6 or 7 early, Pop will bitch them out, and the game with go back and forth for the remainder of the half with the Spurs taking a 4 to 6 point into the break. I'd rather save my stress and watch the Sopranos until they get serious and pound them in the second half.

lol.... makes sense.

I guess that rule's only applicable in South Texas.




Must have been tough to be a Spurs fan in LA while there was still a rivalry. Way to hold it down.

You "I'm a real Spurs fan because I'm-watching-the-game-tonight-instead-of-the-Sopranos" people sound retarded.

I bet you always claim to have liked a band before they were popular too.

I don't mind if people say that they're watching the game over the Sopranos. That's kind of the point of the thread. But this "I'm a real fan" talk sounds like it's coming from a a high school kid trying to announce their popularity pick.

Unless you're 15 and announcing that. Then it's cool.

[HJNTX]

:wtf

Why not TIVO Sopranos?

It's not like it's scripted or something...
:clap

[Das Texan]

Goddamn right. I can understand DVRing it for work, family, you owe the gf big, or something like that; you gotta put making a living and family/bitches first... but a fucking tv show? Any real Spurs fan can't think of anything else but the game today. A real Spurs fan can't fucking wait for the goddamn tipoff, and a real Spurs fan couldn't give a fuck about Tony Soporno when they can tune in and see Tony Parker instead.



A fucking men.


And a chick not being a Spurs fan isnt the biggest thing in the world when you are dating her. There are plenty of other things that rank higher than following my favorite basketball team.

[Spurologist]

Don't have HBO. The choice is made for me.

However, whatever your choice might be, chosing one over the other shows where your true passions lie.

It's funny to me to hear spurs fans talk about watching The Sopranos in real time over watching the NBA FINALS. Both shows are going to be able to be watched later one way or the other so why bitch about watching The Sopranos in real time and spurs later because of the efficiency of skipping the commercials. It's better to just admit that you are more of Sopranos fan than a spurs fan. It would make your stance a lot clearer.

I find it pathetic for there even to be a choice but maybe that's just me.

[UV Ray]

How fitting that the Spurs playing in the finals coincides with the Soprano finale.

The Spuranos.

[tlongII]

I'll be watching The Sopranos. No contest.

That's not the point...

What you're saying is that your anticipation to watch a television show is greater than your anticipation to watch 'your' Spurs play in the Finals.... and that my friend.... is sad

[Spurminator]

I won't be able to take my mind off it afterwards. I'll be watching postgame and posting here. Easier for me knowing I'm going to start the tip at 9 and end the game in real time.

No, what I'm saying is that I'm watching both in the most efficient way possible. And that's how I'm doing it, and I could GAF how other people choose to watch it.








Unless you're watching it without a Spurs hat on. Because real Spurs fans wear Spurs hats, and if you're not wearing one you're not a real fan.




Sopranos is almost on. Talk to y'all at 9:30 or so.

[baseline bum]

That's my point exactly.

I know at the end of the game, I will totally be focused on the Spurs, so it's just easier for me to watch Sopranos now and catch up to the Spurs game.

Just watched the starting line ups for the game and have now switched over to Sopranos. :tu

[Admidave50]

Man are you a Spurs fan?? I can't believe it!

You gotta watch sports LIVE, it doesn't mean shit otherwise!

I love the Sopranos but Tivo it !

LMAO @ everyone missing the best half of Spurs basketball this season for a flop of a series finale.

I said this earlier ... the 2007 Spurs will probably be remembered as the best Spur team ever. And that was one of the most dominant performances in history in 24 minutes of basketball.

Both "shows" were great until the last 20% and then they were a bit of a letdown.

:lol

[SA210]

At least they played some Journey.

[BeerIsGood!]

The Sopranos have sucked for quite a while now. That show didn't just jump the shark, it jumped the ocean. It's a disgrace to the first couple of seasons and now it's been put out of it's misery to the delight of many fans of the show.

Glad to say I saw every minute of SPURS ball tonight. Every second.

[Spurminator]

So did I. :tu :tu

[timvp]

Whichever Soprano fan it was that caught up to live action in the fourth quarter needs to stick to watching the game on tape delay.

Thaaa-aaaa-a-a-aa-a-aaa-anks.

:smokin

[TampaDude]

I just watched the Sopranos I had recorded while watching the Spurs bitchslap the Cavs, and I have just one thing to say...

What the FUCK was that??? That has got to be the stupidest ending I have ever seen. WHAT THE FUCK??? :bang

[T Park]

I must say, Im shocked at this.....

[dmac]

WTF are you all doing on a Spurs forum if Sopranos is more important that the fucking NBA Finals? Fuck Sopranos, I'd turn down head from Meadow to watch a Spurs Finals game.
actually if you moved the TV you could have both...

[Islymore]

man... I'm not even a Sopranos fan, but it sucked. Good camera angles, nice photo work. I watched it after the game, but I hardly watched the game as well.

I mean, after the first half - really did anyone need to watch anymore of the game?? Seriously. Great Spurs basketball from opening tip. Doesn't look like the CAVs are gonna show up until they get back to Cleveland and even then, it's prolly too late for em.

and the Sopranos finale sucked again.

[Spurminator]

I thought of this thread today.

Good times.

[vander]

best ending to a show ever

[Spursone]

GO
SOPRANOS
GO!:lol

[baseline bum]

The best part of this thread isn't seeing the fake Spurs fans, but seeing the fake Spurs fans bitch about an incredible ending to the series. Tony Soprano got shot and never saw it coming, just like in Goodfellas. I loved how it went to black immediately; how his life was ended instantaneously by what would have to be a gunshot to the back of the head.

[Bukefal]

I miss the sopranos. :depressed

Really the best show, I think about it often.

[baseline bum]

And I'd still turn down head from Meadow to see the Spurs in the finals again this year. :lol

[Dro210]

When I saw the title of this thread, I figured it was gonna be...

"spurs or sopranos?.... which dynasty had the worst ending?" :lol

:cry

[IronMexican]

I might start watching this show. Really, nothing else on. I am trying to decide between Entourage, Sopranos, and Lost. W@hat do you guys recommend?

[Spurminator]

Sopranos by far. Entourage is Sex and the City for guys, so if you like that sort of thing go for it.

[IronMexican]

I've never watched Sex in the city. So I really wouldn't know.


I went with Sopranos. Downloading as we speak. I tried to get into Curb, but I just couldn't.

[iManu]

Curb and Sopranos are the best.

All of "Six Feet Under" is in spanish subtitles at thepiratebay for download,

but, you're a Lakers fan, so you probably can't read.

that's not how it went at all :bang

the last scene was emphasizing the constant threat and unease Mr. Soprano had to deal with, even in the moments like that where he's just trying to have dinner with his family. it was a very "the story goes on" type of ending, we just wouldn't be watching anymore of it.

[iManu]

Yep. Tony lives on.

(Soprano.)

:downspin:

[jaffies]

it was a very "the story goes on" type of ending, we just wouldn't be watching anymore of it.

ehhhhh,

then why would a scene in the 3rd act which is trying to depict how he constructed his own inescapable prison of paranoia that will continue forever just (very) abruptly stop?

[AnthonyM]

I've never watched Sex in the city. So I really wouldn't know.

Dude, go with Entourage, not because the series is better than the Sopranos, but everyone in the U.S. that wasn't in a coma knows what happened at the end of The Sopranos.

At least Entourage is still going so if you catch up you can experience the rest of the series.

[IronMexican]

That's pretty true. I hear that Entourage has a lot of hot chicks. Lost seems like too much work. Tough choice.

[Wombatzu]

Tony was shot to death in the diner. it was foreshadowed for the entire sixth season starting when a fat guy in a diner named Teddy Spiradokas (TS = Tony Soprano) is shot by Eugene who was wearing a Members Only jacket just like the guy in the final scene of the last episode. and this is only one of many moments that foreshadowed Tony's death.

but more importantly it's in the actual editing of the final scene: bell rings, close up of Tony's face, then point-of-view shot. this is repeated several times until: bell rings, close up of Tony's face, blank screen instead of point-of-view because he is dead.

Meadow failed to park the car twice just like there have been two unsuccessful attempts on Tony's life. the third time she is successful, just like the third and final attempt on Tony's life.

[AnthonyM]

That's pretty true. I hear that Entourage has a lot of hot chicks. Lost seems like too much work. Tough choice.

Yeah, speaking of the Sopranos, "Meadow" is actually in it too. So, she's hot.

But yeah, the main storyline revolves around a up and coming movie star, so what else is there to do in his free time besides get him and his crew laid with a bunch of hot chicks?

That literally is most of the story line though, but it is definitely good.

Lost is something I want to start watching but I feel way too far behind.

The good thing about Entourage too is its only 12 episodes per season so it's shorter than Lost.

I also want to start watching Dexter.

That makes no sense whatsoever. If it was a "the story goes on" ending, we wouldn't see it just turn black and silent immediately. He's fucking dead.

And the dispute between how it ended just goes to show how good the last episode was (and really the way they gave subtle hints/clues and foreshadowing is great)

Regardless of what you think or what the directors meant to happen, it makes people still talk about it long after its finale.

If it wasn't for torrents I imagine I may buy the Sopranos DVD set at some point in my life.

BTW, he was killed. :wakeup

yeah, I'm going to have to buy it too.

and I've heard all the "he was shot" Bullshit, and the "foreshadowing" Bullshit, and NO:rolleyes. that dinner scene was perfect because it slowed everything down, brought the Sopranos family together, made you reflect on the journey, emphasized the little things of the life of a Soprano vs. a normal family

He, and they, will always struggle to try to enjoy the normal everyday family moments that the rest of us take for granted, because he has to constantly be looking up every time that door opens...



also, I just started watching The Wire, the characters aren't as good, but I'm liking the show as a whole more than the Sopranos so far.



but damn, there'll never be another show like:
You woke up this morning. Got yourself a gun, Mama always said you'd be the chosen one. ...

[HarlemHeat37]

I agree, I loved the ending and the series as a whole..I wasn't a big fan of Season 6 by the usual Sopranos standards, but I loved the rest..

I like Entourage too(for those that were talking about it before), it's good that the show is only a half-hour and doesn't have too many episodes..it makes it a lot more appealing IMO..

The Wire is a great show too, one of the best shows ever IMO..most HBO shows are quality, OZ was a great show too, until about the end of season 4..

i thought some of the same things after i first saw the finale, but go back and watch season six again and it becomes obvious. David Chase wanted to end Tony's story without giving the casual viewer the joy of a bloody end, so he put Tony's death into the editing.

bell rings. Tony's face. point of view shot. over and over again until...

bell rings. Tony's face. blank screen for Tony's point of view because he has been shot.

it's the only explanation that makes sense and David Chase has almost admitted as much.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnT7nYbCSvM

my favorite is the old man with the Boy Scouts, who is reminiscent of Phil Leotardo, makes his hand into a gun as he sits down at his table... Phil had dozens of soldiers in his family and his death wasn't going to go unavenged.

and watch the guy in the Member's Only jacket when he goes into the bathroom... he's going to have a clear shot at Tony when he comes out.

don't mourn Tony too much... he was a sociopath after all.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Six Feet Under is an all time classic (though it wasn't the same after season 2) and Big Love is pretty solid.

[Manu_Ginobili]

This really sucks tonight.

I'm going to Tivo the Spurs game and watch Sopranos live and immediately switch over to the game and try to start catching up. By skipping halftime, I should be live before the game ends.

I am NOT going to TIVO the Spurs, but just will watch the Sopranos straight up...The SPURS might lose from Oklahoma tonite /in the way they have been playing in the last 2 games/.
