The night will also include Latin-themed dances performed by the Silver Dancers, and Coyote will be up to his usual antics, but with a festive flair.

Honestly the jerseys are ridiculous :wtf .

[Mixability]

It should've said Los Espurs.

[Princess Pimp]

Spurs is "espuelas" in spanish isn't it?

[samikeyp]

Viva Los Spurs! :lol

[Cian]

Spurs is "espuelas" in spanish isn't it?

Right, so it would be "Las Espuelas"

[ancestron]

Why put the "Los" on there. The regular jerseys dont say "The Spurs" on them.
It should just say "Espuelas".

[braeden0613]

wow that is really embarrassing

[jcrod]

thats awful.

[MajorMike]

How incredibly ghey

[blackbucket]

Why put the "Los" on there. The regular jerseys dont say "The Spurs" on them.
It should just say "Espuelas".


Exactly. Los Spurs is embarrassing and offensive. Well intentioned but extremely ignorant.

The front office and NBA need to rethink this one.

[Budkin]

Kind of like Los Lonely Boys huh? :lol

[alamo50]

That mexican who thought of this should be shot, seriously.

[remingtonbo2001]

E20- That signiture is fuckin halarious.

[ancestron]

Its a good thing they will only be "Los Spurs" for one night.

[rasho8]

epic fail.

[samikeyp]

You know that Manu and Fabricio are laughing their asses off on this one.

Honestly the jerseys are ridiculous :wtf .

Absolutely ridiculous. As already mentioned, it's rather "Las Espuelas" or "Espuelas". But even the article is badly written. "Ven partido con los Spurs!" is awful Spanish, the exact translation of that is "Come game with the Spurs" :lol . Was this written by the American equivalent of Kill Bill Pana?

If they want to target the Spanish-speaking population in the Southern US, they should do a better job at researching and translating.

[ShoogarBear]

:lmao

What a classic screw up. What gringo thought this one up?

[rayweb_on]

Im from Mexico and to be really honest we(the latins) are the first one to modify our language. you will never hear some one say .."quiero una estacion de juego" in spanish its the right way to say "i want a playstation" ..the only way that you will hear that it will be... "quiero un playstation" even when that's an awful use of the languege
so ..as you will necer hear someone say "quiero una estacion de juego" you will never hear "vamos a ver a las espuelas de san antonio" becouse we say "vamos a ver el juego de los spurs" so for me its the rigth way
...also "las espuelas" sounds so gay in spanish jajaja ...its like the WNBA team form SA
or something like ..at least in mexico we say "los lakers" .."los bulls" .."los spurs" so its ok
we use american words on the names and we dont translate them. as we dont translate the names..like peter = pedro...if peter comes we will never call him pedro

[rayweb_on]

by the way the translation of the lakers its the most ridiculous translation jajaja
its "los laguneros de los angeles" ..men that sounds so wird

[rayweb_on]

I agree with most of that, but the "ven partido con los Spurs!" is equally funny :lol

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Some of them might speak Spanglish, but to those that speak proper Spanish it's ridiculous.

[rayweb_on]

so you usually use "los laguneros" ...i guess no so dont talk about how correct you are please ...or how do you translate de nuggets?? los pepitas??? ..comm'on!!!!
tell us how do you usually use the language????

[mikejones99]

What bitch came up with this brilliant move? women need to just stay home n shut up

[dg7md]

Another case of a good idea being falsely executed.

[ShoogarBear]

All of your jersey are belong to us.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

so you usually use "los laguneros" ...i guess no so dont talk about how correct you are please ...or how do you translate de nuggets?? los pepitas??? ..comm'on!!!!

I was talking about the "Ven partido con los Spurs!" part.

[Shaolin-Style]

If they lose the game, or start going on a losing streak, I'm blaming it on this.

[J.T.]

If they lose the game, or start going on a losing streak, I'm blaming it on this.

If Los Spurs lose that game, does it even go in the Spurs L column?

[SouthernFried]

Hey, mebbe Stern's trying to use the SPURS to increase South American viewership.

Don't knock it. Could mean a couple of calls in the playoffs.

Viva los Spurs ya'll.

[jag]

So is this supposed to mean the Spurs are mexicans....i dont get it?

[Supreme_Being]

Looks very displeasing to me.

[Cherry]

so you usually use "los laguneros" ...i guess no so dont talk about how correct you are please ...or how do you translate de nuggets?? los pepitas??? ..comm'on!!!!
tell us how do you usually use the language????

the traslation is weird:

Los Celtas de Boston
Los Angeles Laguneros
Las Espuelas de San Antonio
Los Pepitos de Denver
Los Pistones de Detroit
Los Magicos Orlando
Los Cohetes de Houston
Los Supersónicos de Seatle
Los Magos de Washington
Los Raptores (!) de Toronto :lol

[Obstructed_View]

That makes me want to vomit on many levels.

[Texas_Ranger]

I don't thinks he's nice.

[Real Tomato Ketchup]

Holy Los Spurs, I saw this last week and thought it was a joke. Haha, this is worse than the "splash".

[Soul_Patch]

Most ridiculous thing ever...

[Extra Stout]

if they did the Noche Latina jerseys properly, the names on the back would be in Blackletter.

[BonnerDynasty]

ehhh close enough.

[Obstructed_View]

Maybe San Antonio's heritage consists of people that don't talk good in two lingos.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

if they did the Noche Latina jerseys properly, the names on the back would be in Blackletter.

Or the announcers calling them by the equivalent of their name in Spanish...

"Con el número 21....Timoteoooo Duncan!"

"Con el número 9....Antonio Parkerrrrr!"

"Con el número 4.... Miguel Finleyyy!"

"Entrenador.... Gregorio Popovich!"

:rolleyes

:lol
Actually...they should just skip the entire idea.

[manubili]

It's lame. But that's just how we call them, "los spurs", at least here in argentina.

The town would be "Saint Anthony" ?

[Tike Mailer]

The Dallas Mavericks would never stoop to such pandering to an ethnic group.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Maybe San Antonio's heritage consists of people that don't talk good in two lingos.

Winner.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Host “Big Kev” will dress the part, wearing a sombrero to tip-off the celebration.

My boy Kevin Brock in a sombrero? This I gotta see.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

:lmao

What a classic screw up. What gringo thought this one up?

I'm glancing in one gringa's direction. :lol

[milkyway21]

http://www.nba.com/media/spurs/080229_300_losspurs.jpgmama mia! :(

hope los will still be los & won't be LOST after the game.

[Borosai]

Not good.

[Brutalis]

yuck

[Sec24Row7]

Hey at least we aren't las Mavs...

[BlackSwordsMan]

Terrible jerseys.

[Borosai]

Indeed...

[sabar]

It makes sense. My mother's side of the family is from Nicaragua and they refer to English things like "los Spurs", mostly because the translated forms sound completely ridiculous.

[hsxvvd]

Ridículo absolutamente de mierda

[milkyway21]

Indeed...
http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9789/stlasmavsez7.jpgcorrect me if I'm wrong I forgot my Spanish already. But didn't "las" meant gringa or women? :lol

:dizzy (head-scratcher)

[to21]

Yuck...

If they are gonna go that route, they might as well put their last names on the back in old english font.

[Borosai]

correct me if I'm wrong I forgot my Spanish already. But didn't "las" meant gringa or women? :lol

:dizzy (head-scratcher)

Sort of. "Las" is the feminine plural form of the definite article ("the"). I think it's a good fit.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Yuck...

If they are gonna go that route, they might as well put their last names on the back in old english font.

Puro San Antonio.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Why stop there? They could come into the intro wearing Mexican lucha libre masks to the rhythm of Guantanamera and throwing free tacos to the seats.

[manufor3]

omg...

[ShoogarBear]

I'm glancing in one gringa's direction. :lol:lmao

[cash459]

I saw this and thought, well, more hoped, that it was a joke.......

much to my dismay, i turned on the game and saw those eye sores of jerseys.

:dramaquee :oops :nope

[Phenomanul]

What a screwup!!! The jersey is horrid! :dramaquee

**** secretly signs up for Manu Ginobili jersey sweepstakes **** :drunk

[brewface]

Is this a friggin joke. The Alamo fell on this day.....this is like calling MLK day White Power day. The great state/country of Texas was built on this day and we try and celebrate it with a Spanish jersey. As a Texan who had family fight at the Alamo, i'm extremely offended and am clueless on what this front office was thinking. Just an embarrassment to this great state....I'm speachless.

how about we converse on the fact that this state, country for that matter, was founded on crossing borders and slaying those natives that were here first and claiming the land as our god given right? yeah maybe you need to take history 1301/1302.

ps: davey crockett was killed at the alamo like a little bitch.

Several of the Texans that fought at the Alamo were also hispanics.

[Phenomanul]

BTW.... The city was founded with a Spanish name; otherwise the city would be known as Saint Anthony.... doesn't quite sound the same.

Today Los Angeles and Los Spurs have something else in common....
