Thinking of hitting up a Spurs game when they're in LA

[Spurtacular]

Spurs are in town (LA). It's like an hour plus drive to Staples for me; and I really don't mind watching on TV, tbh. But it's been a long time since I saw the Spurs live; so, I figured I'd at least consider it. If anyone else wants to go, you can let me know.

Thurs 2/18 @LAC (I remember last the last couple years being on Thursdays, too, as I was considering going).
Fri 2/19 @LAL

The Clips game would be more exciting, more compe ive, I'd imagine. Tickets probably more. But then I'd have to go to bed late and wake up early for work..... Lakers game is on a Friday night. It could be kind of fun to watch the Lakers get their asses kicked and see Kobe one last time.

Friday sounds fun, but I wouldn't count on the tickets being cheaper. They were selling at a premium in SA.

Yea, but that's because it was Kobe's last game in SA. I imagine there's a significant bump in LA, too, as fans try to watch Kobe one last time. But I dunno what's more (LAC or LAL). I guess I'll check....

-Clippers playoff tickets are actually CHEAPER than Fakers REGULAR season tickets.

-I'm not sure where you're driving from but if you are in West LA you can take the metro rail all the way to STAPLES (..I'm assuming you live in the Valley b/c of the 1 hr commute & the fact that you're white)

-I don't like going to Spurs games at STAPLES b/c the in' rich FOB Asian fans who don't know anything about basketball besides the players names (aka the same folks voting for Kobe) annoy the out of me (I went to Gm 1 during the playoffs b/c I thought Timmay/Manu might retire only to witness Baynes getting punked by Barnes & posterized by Blake)

Let us know. I'm guessing Kobe vs. Tim will also cause a premium on tickets.

Yea, you're right. On Stubhub, Clips starting @ $45. Lakers starting at an eye popping $166. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why the Lakers resigned Kobe.

Harlem, Apa, Dabom, Kawhi; all the same person; always doing the same lame race schtick.

FACTS: white folks live in the valley, Hispanics in East LA, Asians around downtown & black folks in south central. (I'm talking about the majority in each area otherwise Asians/Hispanics are everywhere)

[Mugen]

Got some pretty good seats for the Clipper game (5th row). I'd rather not meet any of you in person tho tbh

Also a weekend game vs. weekday game. Last TD/Kobe game, too.

I agree. I just don't know why that's supposed to be funny.

Can't blame you.

Yea, I was going to mention the weekend factor. Instead of 1:4 price ratio, it could be 1:1 or even more for Clips tickets if the days were reversed.

Normally, I could adjust my work schedule so that a Thursday trip to Staples Center wouldn't be so bad. But this time around, I can't. I'm thinking of keying in on the Lakers game; watching that final TD/Kobe match-up you speak of (if prices drop enough).

You should probably drink a Monster and pull an all nighter on thursday night, laze through work on friday and crash on friday night, dvr the game etc

It's funny b/c you have no sense of humor

Pop will rest Timmy for B2B against the Lakers..Better got to the Clippers..

Even if he did suit up, he probably wouldn't play more than 20 min vs. the Lakers

yeah, since no travel involved and coming off a week rest, Tim might play both especially if we take the L vs the Clips..

I had a couple days like that earlier this week and I paid the price for it later in the week. I'll have to monitor prices and see which is better. On the one hand, I'd get to size up a potential playoff rival in person. On the other hand, I'd get to watch the Spurs beat up on Kobe for one last time, live on a Friday night. I'm leaning towards the latter; but I'll have to see.

I've seen Duncan play in person. He's not called The Big Fundamental for no reason. I enjoy watching him; but twenty minutes would be sufficient.

1k if you find him and punch him in the face or vagina.

Doubling down on your childish ways. Well, no surprise.

You wouldn't pay up even if you had that kind of flow, tbh.

Well said..Jeez!
