Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Spurs locker room also filled with smoke, players say. Team is retreating to the bus, ostensibly to breathe.

It's like when you buy that new TV that smells like plastic the first time you plug it in, tbh...

:lol You had one job, Mexico.

Thank god we don't have a B2B

Gregory Popovich @FakeCoachPop
Damn it Boris, I told you not to BBQ ribs in the locker room again.

There is a fire in an elevator in Mexico City arena. evacuating the bowl

The smoke is so the cartels can distract the police and kidnap bonner for ransom

:lmao

There better be a game tonight.

If they don't play the game can we at least get a Cantinflas re-run?

At least this occurred before the game and not during.

I was in Mexico City in 2002, and had a great time. Can't recommend the city enough.

Shoulda brought those gas masks...

NBA TV is stupid for not reporting this, the people are gonna find out anyway once the game gets delayed or cancelled altogether...

I blame Obama tbh

Welp, no more games in Mexico after this. :lol

fucking hornets in 2008 WCSF with the hornet mascot jumping through a ring of fire. they couldn't put the ring out after the act, so they panic and hit it with fire extinguishers. the whole first half there is a hanging white cloud of smoke, and the players are slipping all over the place because the powdery byproduct the extinguishers left on the court.

Give Patty Mills and JJ Barea a knife and let them fight for the win imo. Would fit the local culture tbh.

When you play in a 3rd world country, shit like this is bound to happen. In any case, doesn't the league know everyone has access to the internet? it's not like they're covering anything up fwiw.

@NBASportsNews
Local organizers have offered the NBA a free broadcast of Chivas vs Monterrey if the Spurs @ Wolves game cannot proceed as planned

Fucking game is going to be delayed because of smoke and fire. The arena is smokey as shit :wow wonder what happened

Its like the JailBlazers were playin here with all the smoke!

heyo niiiice.

That's a lot of smoke, I doubt this game even happens now.

I knew we were playing with fire earlier with all the cheerleader pics tbh.

No way they're just going to pack that arena with 20,000 people tbh...are they?

Pop probably reading updates from his mobile Chomsky app, blaming it on American imperialism.

No way this game is happening. Fuggin Mexico.

I hope the game gets moved to a later part of the season and not some bs like Friday in Minnesota tbh.

If only the Alamodome was built within this arena #SpursMemories

Plot Twist: Rick Adelman sparked the fire to cancel the game because he was salty about losing a home game against the Spurs. It gets rescheduled for sometime in March... This time in Minny. muahahaaha

It's my fault, I overloaded the arena system with Melissa hotness!!!

this thread was on fire long before that arena!

They need one of these.

Situations like these make me wish RJ was still on the team for "flamer" jokes tbh.

Welp, see you Saturday guys.

They are finally reporting it on nbatv now. :lmao

Yeah that's way too much smoke, would be really surprised if it doesn't get cancelled.

The spurs fan in me is mad because we lose an extra home game in turn, but this game was complete bullshit for the wolves from the jump :lol

Oh well, wasn't gonna be able to make the game anyway

If they do reschedule, would they stay in Mexico and try again say tomorrow? Spurs are off till Sat against IND

Start Bonner. Let Duncan remain in the ventilated locker room

F Stern!!!

Jerry Zgoda @JerryZgoda
NBA official says D Stern really wants to play this game. Next update at 830 pm

Checking this thread for updates regularly. Anyone hears anything please post it here.

Man I was waiting for someone to remember that opening night when the fire extinguishers hosed down everyone in the place. This is not really all that different, tbh. So San Antonians can't really laugh too hard... but we will!

Heard Tony had to be taken to the hospital with moderate smoke inhalation...

:lol Stern literally trying to kill the Spurs before he leaves and willing to sacrifice 20,000 mexicans and Kevin Love to do it tbh.

I started to wonder about when they might reschedule if this gets cancelled. Just looking quickly at the schedules, it might actually make some sense to move this game to Minnesota on Sunday night (this is, technically, a T'Wolves home game). The T'Wolves play a home game against Miami on Saturday and then are off until the following Tuesday and the Spurs have a similar break after the Indiana game on Saturday night. At a quick glance, it's hard to find another window like that one in the schedule without forcing one of these teams to play a back-to-back-to-back.

With that said, I doubt that the turn around for a rescheduled game would be that quick.

:lol

can't blame him for wanting game to happen, a lot went into this. i think he underestimated what a shithole Mexico is.

It's a pretty big risk, smoke like that will take days to clear out, even if you can't see it it'll still linger. It can not only cause the players harm, but the fans as well.

No, but :lmao if it ends up being true. What a fucking disaster this would be for the NBA.

Stern really wants this for the league, i bet it goes down tomorrow night, why can't both teams stay at hotels another night? neither play again till SAT

Win lose situation, we lose out on a Spurs game, however we do get to piss off that bitch Stern.

Yeah looks like Friday or Sunday would be the only days. Not diggin' the Spurs playing Indy and Minny on a b2b plus another 4 games in 5 nights stretch tbh.

No way that's real. Wow

Stern's probably telling the players to form a circle and start flapping their arms to ventilate the arena.
