    So, is there any hope that I could get a seat in the AT&T for the Finals (if we make it)???

    My lord how I hate 15-hour plane flights, but I think that if we win the Utah series and have no major injuries, I have to come this year because it's the best chance I'll get to see a Championship in the Big 3 era, and I REALLY WANT TO SEE SA IN POST-CHAMPIONSHIP MADNESS MODE!!!

    I have to finish uni for the year, but I'll get that done in the next fortnight, so other than the exorbitant cost, 15-hours of pain on the plane, and tickets to the games, there's nothing stopping me!

    Very exciting prospect!!!

    It will be really tough. The finals will be sold out already. You may have to buy from a scalper. I'm sure other fans here have some ideas. Thanks for supporting the Spurs!

    My husband said if the Spurs made it to the WCF, he was buying a plasma or LCD tv.

    I guess we're getting one now.

    LCD is "more green", using half the electricity of a plasma panel.

    yeah. He'll probably go with it.

    The problem is that our current HDTV weighs a ton and is in an armoir type entertainment center. We could put that TV in our bedroom, but the I don't know how we're gonna get it upstairs and I have nowhere to put the armoir.

    But does he listen to me??????? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    We had a similar problem when we bought our big screen HD DLPTV. We solved it by giving to the lady who bought our house as a moving in gift, that way we did have to deal with the heavy HDTV. She was so excited that she gave me a $150 Lowes gift in return. So it was a win-win!

    Nice. As for the DLP TVs, in addition to being unwieldy, they also have more issues than either LCD or plasma. I have one friend who already had to replace his bulb after less than 2 years, and another who had a power brownout that misaligned a whole row of mirrors that left a BIG black stripe on her screen. Buy the warranty if you go with DLP.

    I think LCDs have a longer lifespan as well.

    Slomo, don't worry, I probably won't be able to go...

    My conscience would eat at me (in carbon terms) for jumping on a plane for the second time this year, and if I can't get tickets I really can't justify the trip...

    The decision will be made if we beat the Jazz, and it will be of the variety, "dammit, just can't do it" followed by a night of heavy, blot-out drinking, or "fark it, I'm hopping on a plane NOW, screw everything else!" which would be the typical human response to such a situation. We shall see.

    At least it's exciting to dream about it!

    Highly, highly unlikely. That's why I am so keen to get over there this year.
