SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Spurs' departure for Cleveland and their first game against the Cavs with LeBron James was delayed by four hours Tuesday.


Originally scheduled to leave San Antonio at noon, the Spurs were informed that departure time was pushed back to 4 p.m. in order to give Delta time to fly in some new equipment after someone accidentally deployed one of the plane's emergency slides -- usually on the side of the plane used by service vendors.


It is not a quick fix and it immediately makes that particular plane not airworthy.


KSAT's cameras were the only ones there to capture footage of the accident.
Delta was able to get a new charter flight over to San Antonio quickly.

I don't know how, but it was Errors' fault.

they should have at least given them a chance to go down the slide. You're never too old for giant inflatable slides

[Uriel]

Now the Spurs are gonna arrive in Cleveland late at night, become sleep deprived, and play with low energy tomorrow against the Cavs.

Leaving SA at 4:00 will get them there at 9:00 PM.

Ohh! Those things look fun. Let everyone but Manu and Splitter try it. Never can be too careful.

[wildcardX]

Baynes would have too much fun on the slide and probably miss the game.

They are already in the arena and shooting around.

Yeah I was talking about last night in reference to Uriel saying they would get to Cleveland "late at night, become sleep deprived"

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

The Spurs charter? I figured they would own their own plane.

[lefty]

Tony Parker already in panic mode

It's not the playoffs yet, relax

[illusioNtEk]

i hope nobody gets hurt sliding down lol

[beirmeistr]

They heard a rumot that the Spurs have been sliding this season.

I don't know how, but it was Errors' fault.

My first thought.

[BillMc]

At least they didn't have to sleep on the plane like they did against the Lakers in 08.

Tim Duncan: "Wheeee"
Everyone else: "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"

Not a big plane like that. Paul Allen had a team plane back in the early 90's for Portland but I don't think it lasted that long. Had to get a bigger plane for the staff, tv/radio, and everyone else not to mention the coaching staff and players.
