what's the stereotype exactly?
what should I type in the search box?
What am I your mom or what?
Holmes, you know I'm trying to see things from your point of view and I still can't... wtf does beef have to do with anything?
my mom's not Polish and is also not posting on ST at the moment, so no, you are not my mom.
what is your own personal stereotype of Americans regarding beef?
I heard Mike Finley became a vegetarian last season.
You don't have to be Polish if you live in Poland.
I'm glad you elaborated. You must've graduated with honors.
For the Spurs, that's the problem.It's not like there isn't precedent for this
Agreed. Holt tried the extra salary experiment and it failed. He is not the type of gambler that will continue to blow his money aka Cuban. He is the type that will go back to what worked before even if that means crossing the threshold to the post Duncan era without another ring. It stands to reason that the Spurs will have to find diamonds in the rough (get lucky) to get to the next level. This is not impossible as many stars began their careers as bench or after thought players.
the extra salary experiment failed in many ways, including putting butts in the seat. There has been few sellouts this season, and the published gate attendance numbers have been generous. The number that really matters is total gate reciepts..Since moving in to the At&t center the Spurs were one of about 7 or 8 franchises that averaged atleast a million in gate reciepts per night, they fell out of that group last year, and I dont see any improvement this year. Less people in the seats means less gameday revenues on concessions and merchandise, which all affects Holts bottom line. I work in the arena, I got an email from my boss the other day that stated they were making way less money than expected and would have to start trimming back on employees and hours. I dont blame Holt for trimming the fat and saving himself as much money as he can as the season winds down.
Edit: correction, they had 49 million in gate reciepts last year, so they did average a bit over a million a game, but that was down from 54 million the previous year(according to Forbes). So this year is the worst its been as far as gate reciepts, not good when Holt opened up the pocketbook and spent big.

You seemed to need the elaboration.
Losing money is a bigger problem.For the Spurs, that's the problem.
LMAO at popo getting punked by his girlfriend
Nope ... I was wrong.
There's nothing like the thrill of reading a good financial report. It's one of the great joys of being a fan.
No one is making you read this thread. You must be getting something out of it.
Sorry it's a business, but that doesn't change anything.
For Spurs fans, thats the problem.
I think it's quite a boon to spurfans. Gives them something to complain about.
Personally, I find this thread twerrific.
findog he looked like a crack head anyway
you think Polandprzem isn't Polish?
possibly.... but his time of posting leaves me to believe that he is not my mom.
I personally have not gone to any games this year. I usually get season tickets but decided to wait for packages to develop this year. By the time the packages developed Pop became committed to small ball which is a brand of basketball that I refuse to pay to watch at the pro level. Not everyone passed on the Spurs this year for that reason, but it is part of the overall reason the Spurs have not been successful at the gate.
Better for him, better for us. No blame.
Fin was always kind of a streaky player. Streaky good, time was, notably older and streaky bad of late. I wish him well, except when he plays us.
This also means the Spurs have a .0023% chance of being good again.
Forever?This also means the Spurs have a .0023% chance of being good again.
