They are doing you a favor. You don't want to see Hayward pounce on dat ass tonight.
Actually 5 o'clock, its an hour difference I believe.
But yea good point regardless. I've been pissed about the times as well but meanwhile in Utah game one started at 11 in the morning (when all the Mormons were in church) and now tonight the game will be at 5. 6PM start time is bull , it'll be tough for our arena to be packed when everyone has to worry about getting there from work. Pretty unfair to impact a teams home court advantage like that for the playoffs tbh.
I hear he likes getting wet willies from other men, true?
Are hood leperchauns considered men?
The arena does not get going til the 4th quarter anyway. Spurs' arena not like Oklahoma City arena or a college arena.
Ask Lebron's mom.
sad but true. when I was younger I remember games being much more electric. still a disadvantage nonetheless, I will say SA crowd steps it up come playoff time and with the arena being relatively 'meh' at the beginning of games already having half the fans still finding their seats or headed to the stadium is not the best situation to be in. that said, I dont think it'll matter, but not the fairest shake regardless.
4pm game out here on the west, that's what a DVR is for.
You mean like they stepped up against Memphis last year? The crowd at the last game was better, I will give them that. But still, a 6 pm start timeis an east coast thing.
A). TV ratings are about cold hard $ not respect. deal with it.
B). Get a freakin DVR.
fair enough, I'll be the first to admit our crowd doesnt hold a candle to the OKCs or even Utahs of the league. We used to be a lot better, even to the point where we would be mentioned among the tougher places to play, but its been a long, long time since then. I honeslt think our winning ways have spoiled our fan base, the desire and drive just isnt there like it used to be. People still love the Spurs just as much, but having been to the top so many times before coming up short doesnt hurt nearly as much, and having been through so many intense playoff runs in the past the crowd seems to take it for granted now.
Beats the outta staying up to 1am including post game and the sort. I should be in bed by a reasonable 9:30pm with jammies on and teddy bear in hand.
I remember when I first started going to games at the Hemisphair Arena. That place was loud, the crowd was literally on top of the court. The baseline line bums were actually on the baseline and would more than likely physically injure an opposing player that got near them. Good times!
My first Spurs games were spent on my grandfather's lap at Hemisfair arena. I dont remember much but I remember it was LOUD.
(side bar: My grandfather was essential in brokering the move of the Chapparals to San Antonio, but because he wasnt one of the wealthier backers like Red or Drossos he never gets the credit. Tim Derk did give him a nice shout out in his book from a few years back, where he recounts the anecdote of my grandpa discovering him at San Pedro Playhouse in a vaudeville act and recruiting him to be the team's mascot. He did misspell our family's name, but it always gets misspelled and Derk seems like a great guy by all accounts so I've let it slide)
I change my dogs collar from his normal TTU collar to his Spurs collar for the playoffs every year.Supers ion is a . I've got some weird supers ions when it comes to the Spurs, even regarding what I'm wearing. I also have to make sure my dog has his jersey on
Sincerely,

Damn it, I woke up late.

At the Hemisfair Arena, my ears were always ringing after every game, even regular season games. Playoff games would practically leave you deaf for an hour afterwards.The crowds at At&T Center today are more like Laker crowds, sad but true.
The PA announcer even has to say that ubiquitous "A little help" line which is quite embarrassing really.
I remember Stan Kelly saying that at Hemisfair.
I only recall Kelly saying that, and he's been gone for two seasons, I think.
I live in Spain
So it's great for me
Point is, the PA announcer thought there was a need to say that, cuz the arena would be dead at points. I mean I could actually carry on a conversation with my friends without screaming. I don't think you can do that in Oklahoma City. The Spurs crowd has really gotten lame over the past 10 years, unless it was late in 4th Q, or there is a rival game.
I do not know why this transformation has come about, but it sucks.
Is it Saturday yet? FFS.
