Nice job.... Did you run into Mel_13? He always makes the Philly trip.
Not that many or great photos this time around, sorry...

Got some videos too:
And Manu was great, per the usual...
Talked to him a while before the game, and after the game asked him if he was fine since he didn't play in the second half, and he said he was "perfect". Some rest for the old guy.

Yes I did. I also had a good convo with him. Always a pleasure to see him.
Glad you had a great time man! Always fun to see a Spurs victory in person. Did there seem like there was quite a bit of Spurs fans there? Maybe it was just my telecast, but it seemed like I heard quite a few cheers for the road team.
Glad you had fun,
Likewise.
Lots of Spursfans, especially near the bench... Arena was half-empty though
pop letting ime draw up a play and coach the guy's in the huddle.
Did you into Airs' gatorade cup, thus causing him to miss the 48 dunks he tried tonight?
No, but now I'm gonna give props to Johnny RIngo, because Ayres really can't do right...
Which are hotter, Silver Dancers or Sixers Dancers?
Sixers dancers look like 15 year old little girls... you kinda feel like a pedo by just looking, tbh...
Must've sucked not seeing Duncan play
checking out the pictures now, good stuff. one of these days I'd like to get seats like that, smart of Nono to do it at Philly. also hope you got Manu to sign your El Ocho action figure.
I saw him warm up late, which was odd, because he normally does his workout very early. After that I read he wouldn't play. He didn't even sit on the bench.
I love watching the team play, tbh... and I don't get a lot of chances here in the NE... so, yes it sucked a bit, but overall we had a great time.
You're welcome!![]()
we talked for like 5 mins after he did his warmup, and then he headed out to sign for people before heading to the locker room, and my wife was like: "Awwww, we didn't get any pictures or anything signed"... So I went to where he was signing and got that picture (taken by the usher). tbh, it wasn't a good night to get stuff signed since they warmed up on the philly's bench side...
I did get like 4 philly player's autographs though![]()
in Nono with the badass seats, tbh... I'm targeting courtside tixs for the Nov. 30 game vs the Rox, anyone else going to that game?...
Dam 5 minutes. The most I've ever gotten from manu was a glance and a nod. What was he saying to you?
We talked a little bit of everything. Asked how were the kids doing, he said they don't want to learn english
He also posted a photo a few days ago with Prigioni eating Dulce de Leche icecream in New York, and actual, real dulce de leche icecream is hard as to find, so I asked him where the was that, he said it's an icecream place in Bleecker St in NY called "Cones". Said the owner is from Argentina.
Talked about last year, when we didn't know if we were going to see him again, or we would have to go look for him in Bahia Blanca... how it's been 10 years that we've been catching up whenever he comes to New Jersey (now Philly, because Brooklyn sucks). If we drove or took the train.
It's a lot of fun, whenever he sees us he comes over, and chats up for a while. He remembers us every year. Don't even need to bring my bright blue and white Arg jersey anymore
Then we sit down and the guys around us are looking at us like woha, what just happened?
We speak all in Argentinean/Spanish too, obviously...
Dam that's tight. You mustve been doing this for awhile for him to recognize you and come over. Especially since you said you now go to Philly games. I hope I get his autograph before he retires. Time is running out.
He's the easiest guy to get an autograph from, especially on the road. He always stops and signs...
