Spurs Fans

[bcoop]

What the fuck is wrong with your brethren?


Games aren't selling out.

People can't GIVE away tickets to the Finals. That is when you know you suck.

The crowd that DOES show up, is just plain fucking WEAK. Pretty damn sad when the watching party at the away team's home stadium is louder than the fucksticks actually at the Finals.


I mean really. What the fuck is up with that?

[Da Prez]

im thinking the crowd is weak, cause the games are fucking blowouts... who gives a fuck a if the tickets dont sell out, they still will be world champions...:D

[FreightTrain]

Last time I checked both final games were sold out. I went to game one and I thought the crowd was great, but seriously how long and how hard should you cheer for when your team is up 20 points 3/4 of the game. :confused: Unlike Dallas' fans we have been to the dog and pony show before and won it all so its kind of expected.

So since the Mavs are out, you're jumping on the Spurs bandwagon? :rolleyes:

11 points isn't exactly a blowout. And the Spurs could have very easily lost last night, BTW.

No, they weren't sold out. I passed on some tickets because I knew I wouldn't be able to sell them for face value. Empty seats all over the place.

[Juiced4V]

They are just bored with so many championships :p ...any ways stop hatin!! If the Mavs were in the finals I would be chearing them on (TEXAS TEAM)....But Spurs been my team since 87 when the Admiral got drafted and started to play in 89

GO SPURS

Don't get me wrong. I'm not knocking the Spurs at all. I mean, I can't stand them and I hope Cleveland pulls it out of their ass and beats them. But this thread wasn't intended to turn in to a bashing or flame fest on who's better, etc.


I just never realized how shitty their fan base was until this year. A buddy lost $2000 on Spurs playoff tickets. He couldn't even sell them with a buy it now price of $1.00. You gotta admit, that's pretty sad.

[ZYouL8R]

Can't bash the team for anything so you bash the fans. Standard. I'll admit the atmosphere in the AT&T Center isn't the greatest, but let me give you some explanations:

1. Fans are spoiled. The old Hemisphere Arena and even the Alamo Dome were much louder because the Spurs weren't winning championships. When the Spurs made the playoffs, everyone embraced it. Now, everyone expects it. It's championship or bust for SA fans. Look at Utah or GS fans. Both teams hadn't been to the playoffs in years and those fans let it be known that they were proud of their team and were going to give them the best home court advantage possible.

2. Ticket costs. Let's face it, SA isn't the most wealthy city in America. I remember when you could get an upperdeck ticket in the Alamo Dome for $5. Times have changed. It seems fans in SA would rather stay home than dish out for tickets. Not really an excuse, but it's just how it is now down there.

3. The games that don't sell out, don't sell out because they release a small amount of tickets on the day of the game. Most people don't know this. Unless you're aware of this, you're not going to get tickets. I looked at Ticketmaster on the day of Game 1 and I could pick up singles for $187 a piece down low. Not exactly what I was looking for.

4. The games are blowouts. I know this will be difficult for Dallas fans to understand, but honestly, I doubt I'd want to be loud at a game where my team is up by 30. If the players are having a hard time keeping their intensity, how can you expect the fans to? These first 2 games were over at halftime. You really think fans are going to be deafening when up by 30, expecting to win your 4th championship? Doubtful.

SA has probably the most passionate fan base (loyal, knowledgable, etc) but I'll admit the crowd is one of the weaker ones in the playoffs. But somehow, we'll survive.

BTW, there's got to be more to the story of your buddy losing $2000 tickets for a $1 buy it now. I find that very hard to believe unless they were put on Ebay during halftime or something. If he has anymore tickets, I will gladly pay $1 or maybe even $2 for them.

[Da Prez]

So since the Mavs are out, you're jumping on the Spurs bandwagon? :rolleyes:

11 points isn't exactly a blowout. And the Spurs could have very easily lost last night, BTW.

wtf? i cant stand the fucking mavs, they always get your hopes up thinking they will go somewhere and they always let you down... i stopped watching basketball when jordan retired, and when i do watch its on a game by game basis on who i route for... right now its the spurs cause they are clearly the much better team...

[bcoop]

Can't bash the team for anything so you bash the fans. Standard.

:rolleyes: You have to admit, for a team being in the Finals the fans are WEAK. Again, last night was far from a blowout. SA *almost* fucked that game off. Had the Cavs been able to pull off 1 out of 4 rebounds, I believe SA would have lost, no doubt in my mind.

Nope. No more to the story. First round of the playoffs. He bought 16 apirs of tickets. Didn't sell a single pair. Had them all up on ebay, long before they ever went on sale to the public. Kept relisting when necessary. Last time listed was for $1, plus shipping. Couldn't sell them. The ONLY reason I made any money off of my Spurs playoff tickets, is because I sold them to the company I work for. Otherwise, they would be sitting in the bottom of my trash can.

You were all over the Mavs last year in the playoffs. :confused:


I guess it would be much easier just to flip flop what team you're a fan of to whoever is winning. :eek:

brent youve been smoking to much fucking weed, i hate the fucking mavs... i might comment that they played good in certain games, but never have i said i liked them and they have never been my team... it is easy to pick a team, when you arent a fan of the sport... :rolleyes:

I can't get on TSP here at work, but I'll look tonight when I get home. I could have sworn you were rooting for them right up to the point they lost, then you changed your tune to you hated them. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember. In fact, I could have sworn you were rooting for them this year up until they lost one or two games against GS.

you are correct, i did want them to beat GS, cause i cant stand baron davis, but it doesnt make me a fan of theirs...

That leaned more towards last year than this year.

[46Tbird]

Who cares, that team is straight ballin.

This is where I'd wave the Mavericks banner, except that they've been out of the Playoffs for a month now and there's really no point. Spurs fans can act any way they want to, the fuckers have a good team to support.

Give me a break dude. Not once during that game did SA lose control. If you watch the Spurs like you say you do, you know they let teams back in the game after huge leads. It's human nature to let down the intensity if you're up by 30. They did it against Phoenix, Utah, and now Cleveland. Not once last night were they in jeopardy of losing the game. They're not the Mavs.

[Juiced4V]

Just heard some guys on the Ticket say they hate the SPURS cause they are better then everyone else...

Uhhh, where did I say I watch the Spurs religously? I HATE the Spurs, and if I'm watching them it's only in the playoffs, or because nothing else is on.


You mean to tell me when Cleveland brought it within 8 points, and SA couldn't hit a shot you weren't getting nervous?


Maybe you weren't watching the same game I was. :rolleyes:

Nervous? Are you kidding me? I know this team. No, I wasn't nervous one bit when they blew the lead because they've done the same thing atleast 5 times so far in the playoffs. I haven't been nervous since Game 6 of the Phoenix series. This team has too much talent, heart, and experience, for me to get nervous when another team makes a run.

I'm pretty sure we were watching the same game :rolleyes:

But enough about the game, let's talk about the crowd. LOL!

[thesource]

Bcoop , have you ever been to a fucking Spurs game ? I've been to several and its not weak or quiet . Unlike most teams , our fans stick around until the end whether we are winning or losing . Unlike other teams , our fucking fans know how to act and handle a championship or a losing season .

If you have some .99 or dirt cheap tickets to the finals , please shoot me a PM ....... I'd be glad to help the Spurs celebrate another championship although I doubt there will be a game 6 to go to .

[robrayLX]

The spurs are a good team that knows how to win which is pretty evident by their championships. The thing that bothers me about them is that every one of their players is a master of the flop and are so good at it they usually fool the officials. One prime example was Robert Whory at the end of the first half last night. Lebron went straight up with his arm and Whory flew back 10 feet across the floor complaining to the officials. He wasn't even touched by anyone. I'm starting to think that Popabitch teaches the art of flopping in practice. :confused:

[thesource]

I agree the Spurs have been a little over the top in flops but hey what ever works I guess . We are working on 4 titles in 8 years . Who else can say that lately ?? ;)

So let me get this straight. Since your buddy was a dipshit and bought 16 pairs of tickets thinking he could double or triple his money, but in the end he lost his ass the spurs fans suck. :confused: LoL this is San Antonio not L.A. or New York were people will drop 5k on a pair of tickets like no tomorrow. I think when it comes down to it the average hard core fan that isn't walking around with a shit load of money doesn't even think they have a chance at getting a ticket to the finals so they don't even try.

One more thing, just because there are empty seats doesn't mean the tickets were not sold and that it isn't a sell it out. Have you ever thought there is 10 other idiots like your freind that buy tickets and then can't sell them so that is why the seats are empty. I talked to my buddy that works for the spurs and he confirmed that both games were sold out. I was at game 1 and they annouced it was a sell out crowd.

[Juiced4V]

I'm a big fan but live here :( ...I have gone to 4 finals games in the last 7 years...all been bad @$$ ;)

I couldn't afford the seats for the finals game games but have to been to some Western Conf. finals a few times and the AT&T center was so fucking loud I couldn't even talk to my brother in law that was sitting right next to me .

As for being lame .......... thats just straight up bullshit !!!

[bcoop]

Shut the fuck up, dipshit. You obviously can't read. I didn't say they sucked because he lost money. It's a business, and shit happens. I didn't say the fans sucked either. I'm just wondering why when in the Finals, they can't sell out games. Your "buddy" that works for the Spurs must have missed the 2000 or so empty seats in the house when claiming sell outs. Are you watching games? The seats aren't full.


LoL this is San Antonio not L.A. or New York were people will drop 5k on a pair of tickets like no tomorrow.


Tickets don't cost $5000. Again, shut the fuck up. You're trying to make more of this than what it is.


All I'm saying is the games aren't selling out, there are a shitload of empty seats, and the crowd is extremely docile when compared to other teams. It gives the impression that they don't give a shit, and are just there to say they were there.

[bcoop]

As for being lame .......... thats just straight up bullshit !!!



I'm just saying that's the impression you get from watching it on tv. Most other markets would be a fucking madhouse. Simply not the case in SA. Like I said. They were doing cutaways to the Cleveland home court when the Cavs made that big run, and the watching party at their home court was LOUD. In SA, it almost appeared that nobody was interested in the game.

[Juiced4V]

yep...its a blast out there...then we always hit him the Riverwalk when the game is over....Good times...

[bcoop]

Bcoop , have you ever been to a fucking Spurs game ? I've been to several and its not weak or quiet .

Nope, sure haven't. The only time I've seen the Spurs play in person, is when they played at AAC. Obviously it was loud, and the cheering wasn't for the Spurs.


If you have some .99 or dirt cheap tickets to the finals , please shoot me a PM ....... I'd be glad to help the Spurs celebrate another championship although I doubt there will be a game 6 to go to .


Didn't bother buying any more Spurs tickets after what happened in Round 1, because they obviously didn't sell. We didn't have any problems selling playoff tickets for the Cavs, Suns, Mavs, and Detroit though. Probably won't ever buy Spurs tickets again unless it's something I set up prior, and already have a buyer (such as my employer).

2k empty seats my ass lol. Like I said dumbass I was at game 1 and they said it was a sell out crowd of 18,797 and my friend who is in charge of Public Relations for the spurs comfirmed this. Hell he was barely able to get me tickets to the game. LMAO at how you and your buddy lost your ass on tickets. I'd be bitter too. Next time buy tickets for your precious mavs, but I forgot they're not in the finals and probably won't be for the next ten years and last year didn't mean shit cause the refs won that game for Dallas.

[thesource]

Someone just has sand in his mangina ........

Go Spurs Go !!!

[FreightTrain]

I just find it funny how a person that has never gone to a spurs game and is not a fan of the spurs tries to talk shit about the spur's fans. Watch a few nba player interviews and they will all say that san antonio is one of the loudest places to play. Oh and if your ever bored do a search for baseline bums.

[thesource]

I just heard on the news that the viewing party at the AT&T center for game 4 is SOLD OUT !!! Thats right ..................

Shut the fuck up, cock sucker. You're worse than SVTVenom.

I didn't lose any money. I doubled my money, but thanks for your concern. :rolleyes:

So if it's sold out, how do you explain all the empty seats?

Oh don't worry. Mavs tickets sell like hotcakes. Nothing like making $400 on a set of four $9 seats to a regular season game. :p

What the fuck are you talking about the refs won what game for Dallas? Smoke crack much?

When I started this thread, it had nothing to do with the Spurs themselves. Just why there were so many empty seats, and why it was so docile in the arena. Yeah, I'm jealous of the peace and quiet. :rolleyes:
