Spurs will sleep in the airplane in NO

[TampaDude]

I'm sure the seats on that plane are really comfortable...I wouldn't worry too much about the Spurs...this ain't gonna save the Fakers from an asswhoopin' tomorrow night...

time to call the party bus

time to call the party bus

Yes, please. And lots of booze too.

I don't see any other references to this article...in fact, when I Google "san antonio spurs plane", this thread is the fourth hit...I'll bet the Spurs are sound asleep in their hotel in Los Angeles right now...dreaming of their upcoming fifth .

Two words: Bourbon Street.

They're a step ahead of you.

Damn they won't get any rest at all.
And in the WCF the game is every second day

Kori you won't get much rest sleeping at day.

Those recliner seats look really comfortable...I've fallen asleep in chairs like that before. I still think the article is bull ...the Spurs are in their hotel in Los Angeles right now, fast asleep.

But this is terrible. I mean everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.

Not exactly...the Spurs WON last night...

The article is legit.
Tony Parker is the source.

Well probably not every hotel was completely booked. But they probably couldn't find a decent one with as many rooms as they'd need. I can't imagine sleeping in the plane is that comfortable, but it's not like they are cramped in coach seats.

Hopefully they'll be able to sleep all day when they get to L.A. and then just do a walk thru practice in the evening.

Well, thanks to the league scheduling (more days between game 6 and 7 than the start of the WCF--wassup with that?) the Lakers will be well-rested.

they'll be laughing at this in the future. right now, its bad freaking timing. hope they take it out on the lakers in game 1.

In other news today, the San Antonio Spurs announced they would buy their own plane for future travel needs. "It's a beaut," said Spurs Chairman Peter Holt, "and even better we got it for a song."

[ElNono]

I'm betting CIA Pop messed up with some wires to bunker up in the plane and start preparing Game 1.

[MoSpur]

Wow. I can't imagine too many places the Spurs want to stay in New Orleans.

It's a convention and tourist town. There are plenty of good places but they were apparently booked due to ... a convention.

[alon504]

Were they flying in San Antonio for a quick stop? If so, as fans, I'd be super-pissed. You all got cheated out of setting up your parade of fans along side of the road at the airport to congratulate the team. I know in New Orleans, we would have been VERY pissed if we wouldn't have been able to meet the team at the airport. That sucks.

Champion Air's flet consist of old 727s. Many of them are otward the end of their useful lives. Nuts to you Champion!! Enjoy your Chapter 11.
