We get cheap clappers and like that instead. Yes, I know. We still end up winning in the end but I've always wondered that. Are they really that cheap?
I don't think it's about being cheap. Don't clappers cost more than rally rags.
Rally rags and t-shirts don't make any noise. Better to give people the means to make noise than to make the whole place telegenic.
Spurs don't need no stinkin' gimmicks!![]()
I'd like to take this opportunity to say you toyota for ponying up the dough for shirts for Game one in NO, but not here
Whatever they gave out yesterday fell apart pretty quickly.
Oh damn, that is pretty messed up! Never realized that.
We got some last year or the year before...I still have mine.
I would think thousands of pieces of plastic are far more expensive than pieces of fabric.
Yea, by H-E-B right? Did anyone even wear them, I forgot already.
They're too small to "wear".
cue "Peter HOlt is a cheap bas " comments.
They've done it at some point, a friend sent me one. Not from a playoff game though.
They gave out shirts during Game 2 of the Finals last year ... of course Time-Warner paid for them.
HEB sponsored shirts were given out during game 1 of the Finals last year. I sometimes work out in mine, it's too big for me to wear as a regular shirt.
I went to the NJ-Spurs game here in Joisey, and they gave a free Devin Harris tshirt to everybody. What was funny is that they would not give us the plastic clappers, because we were not Nets fans. I laughed so hard that day, I guess they really think those clappers really work against players shooting freethrows.
The clappers aren't plastic they're cardboard. You fold the piece of cardboard into a fan looking thing and then you hit it against your hand. And like someone already said they fall apart pretty easily. The one i got yesterday tore and fell apart by the 3rd quarter.
those clappers are genius for sa's lazy ass crowd who just want to sit on their ass and drink a beer
this way they can make noise while they drink
don't hate, appreciate!
Some of them (not that game) have been plastic. I have a few of them at my house.
Yeah i have some of the plastic ones too but the ones that they've been giving away in the playoffs have been the same cardboard ones. I would rather get rags or shirts but i guess they just give us stuff we can make noise with but if you're going to a PLAYOFF GAME you should be making a lot of noise anyway, but whatever as long as we win.
I seriously doubt the Spurs handed anything out Time Warner.
Time Warner handed out shirts on the street corners leading into the AT&T Center at some point during last year's playoffs. They were black, had a cartoonish Manu, and said something like "Go For 4." It was an unsuccessful effort to black out the building -- I want to say it was for Game 2 of the Finals, but can't say that for certain.
Precisely, TW handed out the shirts. They aren't a Spurs sponsor and I'm sure it wasn't a coordinated effort to black out the building. More like TW trying to market in the building.
