I got to be a ballboy too for a game, against the Bullets in 1988. And sitting right under the basket about 5 feet from the action, isn't the game unbelievably physical in a way you can't even see from courtside seats? It was pretty eye-opening watching Frank Brickowski and Moses Malone just beat the out of each other in the paint all game. I never knew NBA players were such hardasses until I got the chance to watch them from that close, you can't see it from row 20, row 10, or even row 1.

Heck yah that's awesome. We sat on the base of the basket and I just remember Robinson dunking it a few times and feeling the basket shake.

[DisAsTerBot]

best: memorial day miracle, seats behind the basket near the tunnel, that was sweeeeeet

worst: when you're at a game they lose to a scrub team. womp waaaa

[TXstbobcat]

Best: The memorial Day Miricale!!!!!!!

Worst: Game 2 of the 2013 NBA finals in Miami. Loved going to that game in Miami but the spurs got destroyed!

That must have been unbelievable to see David Robinson play from a ballboy's seat. I have seen him that close in a Spurs practice at Incarnate Word and his athleticism was unreal, but courtside is the closest I have seen him in actual game action.

[baseline bum]

My best is easily the Memorial Day Miracle. Worst would be going to Spurs vs Celtics or Spurs vs Lakers in the mid to late 80s when everyone in the crowd would be some got in the other team's Starter jacket. This always pissed me off so much.

[spurraider21]

Best: 2012 game 3 vs Clippers. massive comeback

Worst: 2015 reg season nailbiting loss to clips... duncan had a throwback 30 pt game, but spurs lost. kawhi was pretty bad that game, crawford was hitting everything... only loss i've ever attended

[jsandiego]

Best:
2005 NBA Finals Game 7. Awesome on so many levels.

Honorable Mention:
2013 NBA Finals Game 5. Spurs win to go up 3-2. My memory is fading me because I can't recall how the series ended up.

Worst:
Don't really remember a bad one! They lost to the Warriors when I saw them way back in 1996, but I was still so happy to be there.

Or how about Game 2 in the 1995 WCF when about 75% of the crowd was rooting for the Rockets and about 90% of the courtside seats




Game 1 of the 2007 WCF was pretty pathetic when the Spurs couldn't sell out the game...

thats the "Ivy League" school Glen Hbart attended

Thankfully I didn't attend any of the 95 WCF, though I might as well have since watching Games 1 & 2 on First Choice PPV was $39.95 for each game. Yeah, that didn't feel great to spend that much to watch maybe the two most bitter losses in franchise history (well, at least for people too young for the 79 ECF). I gotta say I'm thankful for the 99 lockout for killing off home games being on PPV.

[rastaspur]

Worst- game 6 of NBA finals in Miami in 2013. Best - game 5 of NBA finals in 2014.

Holy crap! Do you follow them around?

[THE SAMOAN TD]

2012 WCF vs OKC game 5 we had that damn game

[rastaspur]

Just go to finals games basically. Live in the dirty south and will take a vacation if the make it to the finals. Went to 4 games in 2013 (games 3 through 6) and three in 2014 ( all in San Antonio)

[rastaspur]

Game 6 of the 2013 finals happened to go down as the worst night of my life. Got arrested for assault that night for getting into a fight at a bar when some heat fan kept running his mouth and grabbed my ladies and said he owned her like lebron owns Duncan or something to that effect. No witnesses saw him grab her but everyone saw me deck that bas . At least the cop let me change out of my spurs jersey. Said someone might try and rape me in jail with that on.

Where in the dirty south?

[DJR210]

Best game I attended was one when we had Turkoglu.. we were down to the Pacers like 8 points w/ 4 minutes remaining, and all the got Spur fans started filing out.. A few buckets and one huge Turkoglu 3 with time running out and we forced OT, and got the W.

[rastaspur]

Within 120 miles of Atlanta. I've jumped around over the years. Have lived in Tenn, ga, Florida and Alabama.

[Spurs9]

Best:
Sitting courtside to 2013 finals, game 5 I believe, next to Heat bench.
Grizzles triple overtime game sitting behind Grizzles bench.

Worst:
Probably some of the Grizzles playoffs losses.

I went to game 3 in Memphis the year they beat the spurs in the first round. It was brutal. Those fans were so rowdy. I did not feel comfortable at the game or on Beale Street. Luckily I didn't catch a charge or get 187'd in Memphis like in Miami.

[Sausage]

Best:
Duncan 3 Pointer vs Suns
Comeback vs Warriors in the playoffs
Stephen Jackson's first game back after being traded to SA (also Bruce Bowen jersey retirement night)
2014 OKC series game 5

Worst:
2012 Game 5 vs OKC
Game 4 when Spurs got swept by Phoenix
Game 2 vs. Mavs in 2013 when they got curb stomped by 22 at home

[spurs10]

Best: June 15, 2014
Worst: Pistons 2014....one of those real stinkers last year!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Best: Spurs came back from 8 down in the last 2 minutes to beat the Celtics (Jan 2003 IIRC? I was almost 9 at the time, still 8 though) Stephen Jackson made a huge 3 on an ill-advised attempt to put us up 1 with like 7 seconds left. Crowd went nuts. Pierce missed at the buzzer on the other end. We won the championship that year, David's last.

Worst: Spurs lost by 20+ at home to the Nuggets with the stars sitting out, last game of the season. Starters were Jackie Butler, Beno Udrih and a bunch of other scrubs. (April 2007) Only interesting time of the game was when the jumbotron camera focused on TD/Manu's faces. I really wanted to sue the team for that one, but I was 13. I resorted to rooting for the Suns to win it all that year, was happy when the Mavs got booted by the Warriors, pissed with the Amare/Diaw suspensions and Bowen's three... but eventually reconciled when the Spurs (unsurprisingly) beat the Cavs. Still my least favorite championship by far out of the 5.
