Observations.....

[PeterBurns]

Got to go to game tonight and sit courtside.
Literally, the seat next to the Spurs bench. Which was quite cool.

Wanted to share some cool observations.

1) Manu looked tired as hell tonight. Even in the timeouts, he would just sit there and stare. Kind of out of it. And his freaking thigh pads are bigger than the one's we had in Middle School Football.

2)Horry is into the game. It's funny how he seems kind of relax and that he doesn't care, but he sat at the end of the bench for a few minutes, and was much more vocal than anyone.

3) Udoka, doesn't talk. I'm pretty conviced that he is a mute. Several times people talked to him and he would nod. I don't think he said a word the entire game.

4) When the Spurs scored 5 Freaking points in the first half. No one panicked. Pop didn't rip into them at all. In fact, at one point he came down and offered encouragement which was cool.

5) Even when the Spurs were up late, it's really cool to see the guys have a meeting before the coaches join the huddle. They talk about screens, about how guys are leaning a certain direction. Very cool little details.

6) Bonner is a f'n cool guy. At the 2nd Quarter, we joked with him that the game didn't need more cowbell, it needed more Bonner. And he quotes back..."I'm not sure. Cowbell is pretty cool". He was interacted with us all night.

7)Even at the end of the game with a victory in reach, it was cool to see Bruce, Manu, and Tim talking about adjustments...etc

At the end of the game, Manu had one of the NBA towels and I asked him for it, and he gave it to me.

Just wanted to share!

#6..lame just lame :lol

[1Parker1]

DAMN, how'd you manage those seats?

Man, a towel with Manu Ginobili's glistening sweat all over it. Somewhere, Spurschick is plotting her robbery as we speak. :lol

[m33p0]

thanks for sharing! :tu

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

cool I always like these posts, thanks for sharing, hope you enjoyed their historic first quarter. :lol

[T Park]

Yeah Bonner is a funny mfer.

Great observations.

Sounds like a typical Spurs regular season game.

[duncan228]

Nice seat. It must be really cool to be that close that you can hear them during the game.

Thanks for sharing.

[ChumpDumper]

Nice use of the "Touched by an Angel" lens filter.

[YODA]

how did you pull off those seats, those have to be the best seats in the house. Dam,,id use the force to get those seats.....Sounds like u had a great time, i know i would.

[BlackSwordsMan]

How does the towel boy sit like that all game? My ass would hurt.

[2centsworth]

very nice Peter. The Manu tired as hell is scary though.

[greens]

WOW...those are some close seats! That's right next to the Spurs bench, practically seating with them!

Nice observations. Thanks for sharing. I'm always curious about what happens during the game.

So Ime doesn't talk as much? And Manu looks tired? Probably all those minutes and crazy 40 pt games getting to him...

So which Spurs players talk the most to each other during the game? I know they all usually give each other advice about certain things during the game...

[Budkin]

Holy fuck man... now those are some seats!

[vander]

It seems to me that Udoka was already pretty cool, but the fact that he doesn't talk, that, that's just awesome. :lol he's now my second favorite Spur behind Bonner

[porscha]

super nice... any more pic?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If I come to live in SA next season I'll pay whatever it takes plus my left kidney to sit there! OMG, awesome!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

nice seats! wow, glad to hear you had a good time :tu

[14dave]

So cool man, good observation. You was lucky to have this seat.
Do you have more pictures to share?
Thanx :clap

bonner is a waste of a bench spot

pop, nice shoes hahahahaha

[jmard5]

Thanks for sharing and nice observation as well.

You had the best seat in the house!

[Manu-of-steel]

manu is dead tired, we only scored 5 first quarter points, and still we won. Though it was only against the hawks, i'll gladly take this win. Thanks for sharing your observations. my only question is-how did you got this close to the spurs bench?

[WalterBenitez]

Great observations, we should press Udoka's ball to know if he can scream ... Manu needs vacation.

[mrsmaalox]

Very, very cool. Awesome photo! Now I wonder what I could do to persuade Pop to get me those seats? ;)

[Solid D]

What'd you do, give the ball boy $25 and send him off to play pop-a-shot upstairs?

[angel_luv]

I enjoyed the recap. Thanks for sharing it. :)

[samikeyp]

I would give Ruff's left kidney to sit there too! :)


Pete, hell bro you were so close, if it was a 30 point blowout, you might have seen some PT.

[angel_luv]

Speaking of Matt Bonner, he is going to be making an appearance at Rolling Oaks Mall this coming Monday.

Cool. Tell him to come here and admit he is BonnerDynasty and enjoy himself.

Matt - These cuticles look like crap. I hope Bruce can get me an opening at Cielo Boutique tomorrow. I hear he knows the owner.

Horry believe it or not talks a bunch. Timmy also chimed in and Tony, but surprisingly it was Horry that was the most vocal last night.

What's funny is in the 4th, I had had a few cocktails, and Pop yells at Vaughn and Vaughn doesn't hear him. He yells the 2nd time, and I half got up and made a move like he called me. And we both got up at the same time.

The security guy freaked the hell out, and the guys that I was with nearly fell to the floor laughing.

[ancestron]

Sitting in that spot is my lifelong ambition. Damn you!

[remingtonbo2001]

Someday....Someday....

The closet I've sat was in the 5th row. That alone was a pretty incredible experience.

I can't imagine what it would be like to literally be on the bench.

Amazing, thanks for sharing.

P.S.- Mr. Burns, are you a teacher?

[SpursFan0728]

Good observations,
is nice to know how the bench functions for those who cant go to games

[BonnerDynasty]

Matt Bonner invented the Cowbell.

I see. Thank you for the clarification. :)

Oh, ok. Thanks for answering my questions!

Horry is a veteran player with a LOT of experience...I think that's why he would tend to be more vocal...

What about Manu and Bruce? Do they also give inputs during the game?

[NRHector]

thanks for sharing, great pic :clap

[SenorSpur]

Great pic and good info.

Should've asked Pop how long before he brings in the long-awaited, athletic swingman

[timvp]

Rumor has it that Peter Burns acquired that ticket from Brent Barry. In exchange, Stacie The Sports Chick will now be known as Stacie "Bones" Lundy.
