You live in the Bay Area?
Lucky bas ...
It might not be a big deal to those of you living in SA, but this will likely be the only Spurs game I attend this year, unless they face GSW in the playoffs or they make the Finals and I can find a way to get off work and fly down to SA.
Absolutely psyched, and I will be reppin with my Parker jersey. Going to get there as early as possible for the shootaround. Excited to see some of GSW's young players as well, Curry is a monster, and he's going to be one of the best PGs in the league for a long time to come.
Will get some pics and post them if they're halfway decent.
Hoping for a good game tonight, and by that I mean I hope I see the big three sitting most of the 4th quarter as we stay 4 games up on OKC for the #1 seed.
Go, Spurs, go!
Edit: This will also be my first game at Oracle. Hoping that crowd doesn't let me down.![]()

I hope you have a great time!
The frozen margaritas are a rip-off, just a head's up!
Yep, had a contact from my days in Chicago look me up and offer me a pretty good setup, so I rented a truck and loaded it down with the vitals and hauled ass out here. Running outside in a tshirt/shorts in February is the ing truth.![]()
Sweet area. Be sure to take a roadtrip out to Yosemite and/or the Eastern Sierra just SE of it at least once a year.
I hit up Tahoe in December, first time snowboarding in my life. Spent much of the afternoon on my ass, but man it was a freaking blast all the same.
These Cali folks think that 50 degrees is cold and 30 degrees is unbearable.![]()
I guess I don't have to tell you about Marin county...heaven on earth!
I reiterate - lucky bas .
Dude, if you can, try to drive Tioga Pass Road to Mono Lake and back on the day it opens for the season (usually Mid May to Mid June). Also Glacier Point is an incredible view to drive to in May or early June when the road to it first opens (of course there are better views if you want to hike, but that one is pretty ridiculous for no effort whatsoever).
Thanks! Parker for MVP*!
* I know LeBron probably deserves it more but I can dream!![]()
Have fun! Being able to go to Spurs games is one of the things I miss most about living in San Antonio. Hope this is a good one for you.
I've heard of Mono Lake. It sounds incredible. And hiking is one of the best things in California, so many awesome views to be had.
Soak it up. These are the good days![]()
There will come a day in the very, very near future, where we will say, "I would give almost anything right now just for another chance to see Duncan lace them up."
I realized that a couple of weeks ago, and it's been staying with me (almost haunting me in a kind of bittersweet way) ever since. Now when Spurs games are on, I clear my schedule and focus on watching the game and enjoying the artistry evident every second that I'm able to do so. The sun is setting on this dynasty, at least this chapter of it, and man, the last, fading rays are still some of the brightest, most joyous to look on. It's a privilege just to watch him set foot on the hardwood and I'm going to take everything I can away from the game tonight.
Have fun bro. Last night went as good as it could have regarding rest. Hopefully everybody dresses out for you tonight.![]()
Make and Take a "PLAY BAYNES" Sign!!
Thinking about making a big sign that only says:
Good
Better
Best
on it. Spurs fans and players would get the meaning, not sure who else would.![]()
Well said![]()
I'm going too. I've probably gone to like 20-25 Warriors-Spurs games at Oakland since Robinson came into the league. The crowd won't disappoint you, it's a real home court advantage if it's a close game late. But if the Warriors go down early they get quiet like everyone else.
I dig it!
I'll be on the look out for it!!
Good game for Mills to play some time. His time at SMC (St. Mary's) makes him somewhat of a local. In his "head to head" against Curry in his final year at SMC........Mills=Curry.
I was talking more about the road itself. Going East to West from Mono Lake to Yosemite is really spectacular on it for the views of Mount Hoffmann and Clouds Rest (both ridiculously great dayhikes too, though wait for mid July to do the latter unless you like freezing cold chest-deep water crossings). Mono Lake is pretty nice though.
If you want great views of Mono Lake consider dayhiking Mount Dana (you get a view 6,500 feet above it), hiking Mono Pass to Upper Sardine Lake (for a view 5,000 feet above it), or on the hike from Parker Pass up to Koip Peak Pass. Or if you're really a hardass and have glacier-crossing experience you could see it from on top of Mount Ritter (though the nearby Lake Catherine, Minaret Lake, and Nydiver Lakes are way more impressive than Mono Lake IMO).
