This is a JOKE!!!

[slick'81]

gotta have faith

[gospursgojas]

All you guys taking the bait.

I mean the OP stated in the le that this is a joke.

LOL very funny. 35k on seats

[Shastafarian]

Trading Parker obviously. All re ed trades must involve him.

And these talks about trading Parker! That just goes to show that they are flunking NBA 2010-11.

[TheSullyMonster]

The Spurs have a solid team. The NBA just has numerous good teams now and not just one (or two) like there was during the Spurs Dynasty.

Elson and Naz in TODAY's NBA

have you seen the centers that play these days?

I'm surprised they're not still playing just for the money.

Edit: , aren't they still playing?

[lotr1trekkie]

If Madisonstreet Buck is paying out of pocket, he has a complaint. If he is writing off his tickets to the IRS, he has no . If the best seats at the game come out of pocket- no problem! $600- $10,000 seats at courtside as a tax deduction? no!

[redzero]

How spoiled of you, OP.

[ohmwrecker]

Edit: , aren't they still playing?

Didn't they play for the same team last year?

[wut]

Not trying to be a hater, but you sounds more like a concerned consumer than a concerned Spurs fan; stop "wasting" your money if you don't like watching entertaining basketball in amazing seats.

Hill, Manu, Splitter, Blair on the court at the same time would be amazing to watch....if you can't realize that; you really should stop wasting those seats on someone who can't appreciate it.

[4>0rings]

You probably would of had a better time throwing that 35k in a fire. Enjoying catching Matt Bonners sweat in your face as he runs around the 3 point line.

[iManu]

This has nothing to do with basketball, this has to do with economic crisis.

Also, troll or no. , I have better things to spend my money on than $833 a spurs game. Not counting drinks, food, parking, etc.

, even if I do have that much money to blow-I'm going to do it at a sports bar and get a of a lot of food/beer(and a cab, there and back).

[callo1]

I take exception with those people who s out 30k for tickets and think they are too good to cheer. I have little sympathy for the the lower row pinky extended tea sippers.

Me too, I''m calling those guys to come take your "High Life" away from you

Seriously, the Spurs will be a better team next year, and there is still plenty of time between now and the trade deadline to make some changes.

Just as it is premature to claim les in July, it is equally premature to completely rule them out.

Despite the Spurs loss to the Suns, who were built with the sole purpose to get by Spurs, imho the Spurs would have matched up better against the Lakers than those same Suns did.

Don't start building the gallows until after Allstar break, and thenwhen you do, there will be plenty of people around with a hammer & nail ready to help.

How much beer are you gonna drink for that?

, buy rounds for everyone every game, you'd be the most popular guy there.

[BOHOLANO#21]

you madison! Quitter...

Exactly.

None of this "I can't afford a babysitter AND a night out" bull from my friends. , I'll pay for both, now get your fat ass out here and yell at the TV with me.

[buttsR4rebounding]

People just hate agreeing with reality.

If your banking on the Brazilian Boy to be better than Elson and Naz combined, I hope you're right. Don't be surprised if he doesn't get on that plane to S.A., In the last few years we've had some crap luck. The B.B. staying home, the blotched deal for the guard that we were supposed to get from Houston, then he decides to go home, and of course we send let Scola go to Houston, so he can play, and he takes us everytime he plays us. At least if we had him, Blair, and Duncan, we might be able to fend off the Bryants boys. But will never know~

Look at the Heat and their fans, they hate REALITY!

as do Bryant's boys~

Dude, your 4 takes don't exaclty give you much cred. Then you you spew crap that is just assinine..."don't be surprised if he doesn't get on that plane to S.A." and the "blotched (I assume you mean botched) deal for the guard that we were supposed to get from Houston". Splitter signed a contract so, yes it would be very surprising if he didn't get on a plane to SA. As for VSpan, that was the reason we traded for him because he wasn't staying and the Spurs were trying to stay under the luxury tax. At least know what you are talking about before you try take number 5.

[The Truth #6]

Madison and Fabbs probably know each other.

[FeZZy]

cool story bro

[Leonard Curse]

The reality of getting David Lee?

Why is he our Brazilian boy? Oh, cuz you're not a real fan?
What? He already signed a contract.
The Spurs knew Spanoulis wanted to go back home. Horrible trade? Yes. Reason to think Tiago will somehow miss his flight or back out of his contract?
If I checked your IP, would it be in Los Angeles....



...I'm guessing so

im with you on this one shastafarian, this guy reeks of purple and gold i could be wrong he might be from a nearby texas team considering his scola bombs

Off the record I paid $30K for the rights to seats in SEC. 8

1. On the record - are you talking about Section 8 housing?
2. Yes, Nazr and Elson put us right over the top those two years. (Please try to refrain from calling him "Nazi".)
4. $35K won't pay for a 10-day contract for an un-drafted rookie.
5. Even in 1989, there was a salary cap. You should look into it.
6. People screamed the same stuff after the 07 offseason. That team won 56 games, and lost in the WCF. A couple of bounces, a couple of whistles (and mostly Manu's ankle being healthy), and that team could have won it all.


If you're laying odds against this team winning 50 games, I'd be more than willing to take some of that action.

[lotr1trekkie]

Thanks for cable/dish TV. Otherwise I'd never see the Spurs.
If the Congress really wanted to cut the budget they would limit corporate/business tax deductions for all sporting events. Most of the best seats in any house are subsidized as a tax deduction. The vast majority of courtside seats and luxury boxes are written off, as is parking and food. Why not allow tax deductions for all fans?

[Leetonidas]

(we won't being seeing one of these this year!)


I've followed the Spurs ever since "The Admiral" came to town from the Navy in "89", and I even moved here 3 years ago to buy season tickets to go to the games to see the team that I loved. Off the record I paid $30K for the rights to seats in SEC. 8, Row 9, Seats 9 thru 12. If you all are familiar with the AT&T Center, they are PRIMO, the best seats in the house dead center court with elevation so nobody with the Admiral's height could ruin your night.
Anyway enough of that, but I wanted to paint the picture for my next comment.

SOMEBODY WAKE UP HOLT & BUFORD !!
FOR AN ORGANIZATION THAT EACH YEAR PUT THE BEST POSSIBLE TEAM OUT THERE THAT THEY COULD, THEY HAVE GONE FISHING FOR THE 2010-11 SEASON EVEN BEFORE TNT'S KENNY SMITH WENT WITH THEM. WITH THE BEST CLASS OF FREE AGENTS OUT THERE IN A LONG TIME, I HAVE NOT EVEN HEARD OF THEM GETTING INVOLVED TO BRING ANYONE HERE!!

The only good thing is that Jefferson is probably "see ya later", which is a plus, but how about at least a J. O'Neil or even a David Lee to come in to help an aging "21" hold the inside. All you have to do is look at the Spurs Champ. years and on the inside they had 2 "yes" 2 real bigs. Robinson/Duncan, "99 and "03", Duncan/Nazi in "05" and Duncan/Elson (somewhat) in "07".

And these talks about trading Parker! That just goes to show that they are flunking NBA 2010-11.

What a joke to put out 35K for season tickets knowing that we have no shot! To my fellow Spurs fans:

We're going nowhere~~

This team without a MAJOR land goes Deep Sea FISHING.

Take care,

I will always love my Spurs~~~
