Why did the city give 15 million to the Spurs for a practice facility plus 17 million in tax rebates? Was it because of the retail?
They didn’t it up, because the Spurs are still playing in SA. ing it up would have been trying to force the sales tax for the downtown arena, losing, and having the Spurs move to Seattle.

I agree. All 3 major N.A. sports and even Stanley’s Cup does the finals by conferences though. It’s uncompe ive and backwards imo tbh fwiw.
Can’t think of a reason why except maybe they want some kind of precious historic Finals rivalries but they just don’t happen. That actually might happen more in a 1-16 because the two best records in the league historically don’t change teams wildly over a two year period and over the last 3 decades have been absolutely stacked in the Western conference.
If keeping conferences makes sense for reducing team travel in the RS I’m all for it, but do 1-16 seeds in the playoffs because the current system reduces the quality of the playoffs so much. Maybe they’re afraid of the East Coast turning off their set because Philly and New York suck so vigorously but they haven’t made it to the playoffs much this century anyway.

They’re lucky the spurs went on a run or else it would have been a major up. That wasn’t some amazing foresight, just dumb luck.
I’m not allergic to paying taxes. Having lived in various American cities now, I can definitely see the value of having a stabilizing draw to your city’s primary economic/entertainment center. Have to say last time I was in SA a few year back, I was very concerned the downtown seemed to be dying (I don’t count the Pearl as downtown, some may disagree). Not saying having the Spurs down there is a panacea, but it doesn’t hurt either.
Divisions and conferences build fan interest and give a structure for playoffs for more teams which means more money.
Divisions have had no impact on playoff seeding since 2016. They are a meaningless vestige.
place is incredible.
Is there a training table and medical staff for Kawhi?
I want that tile!
Ok so am I the only one that hates that wooden style on the ceiling/walls? Would be great for a hotel/office building but just looks odd to me for an athletic facility.
I'm sure the rest of it is as great as everyone is saying. The look of it just bothers me, tbh.
Nah...it's pretty nice as it is.Ok so am I the only one that hates that wooden style on the ceiling/walls? Would be great for a hotel/office building but just looks odd to me for an athletic facility.

Does the wood keep the sound down or something?
Still looks like the ceiling isn't high enough.
Exactly! We maybe could’ve seen Kobe versus LeBron at some point in the first round even. The NBA would’ve nutted over that matchup years ago. Or F-ing Steph vs Gannis. It would be so much better for the league and create more rivalries.
Don't confuse Divisions (which really serve no purpose) and Conferences!
