But actually, SA bros- is the city walkable? And would it be a decent for a weekend getaway?

Really? That's not as bad as I thought it would be. If I go with my brother, he's getting his own ticket though!
I mean sure, that's nearly 5 times the amount as normal, but still.

I usually look for tix the day of the game like 4 hrs before tipoff. The prices can go down somewhat

Sweet. The only game I can go to is game 2. I am hoping I can get them. Not holding my breath.

Ugh
another 2k simulation of game 1 had the Spurs choke a 6 point lead in the 3rd. Pretty much back and forth until 2 minutes left in the game. LeBron hit a jumper on the elbow despite Duncan and Leonard double teaming him to seal the game.
97-90 final
It was still winnable but Duncan missed a layup in the paint. Somehow the ball leaked out to LeBron near half court and got a clear path foul.
2K sims have been spot on in the playoffs. Even had Heat/Pacers go 7. Although for whatever reason, SA has HC in the Finals.

That's pretty cool. Did it get the Spurs series correct?

Yeah, I am actually. I thought the Spurs would cakewalk over the Warriors in 2k and every game came down to the last minute or OT except for 1. With the same settings, Spurs swept the Grizz.
Yeah 4-0
Aside from the wrong HCA, the only NBA player to announce his retirement during the playoffs was Vince Carter.
Forgot to mention Wade hurt his back during the 1st quarter and never returned.
I lol'd hard

If you do and wouldn't be freaked to meet me, let me know, cause I was thinking about driving from Dallas for game 4 or 5, going to Austin first to chill with a friend and then driving down
and if there are dallas peeps that maybe want to get together for a game let me know. I know another gaffer who used to post here more who may be interested as well

MLB is acting on the biogenesis link (LBJ was linked to this place) and suspending a shit load of players.
The NBA and, more specifically journalists had better ask and answer some fucking tough questions.

Maybe Stern is leaving cuz he knows some shit.
Will the Heat be the most hated organization in all of sports if Wade and Lebron get caught with PED's on top of all the existing Heat hate? I say yes lol
Also, it's refreshing to see B Shaw get so much interest league wide for head coaching positions. And on established teams with superstars* too! Fucking Jim Buss!

I think stern is just leaving because he's old.
But no doubt it's ridiculous how nonchalant the NBA is about PEDs.
But LBJ having a legacy of steroid use in combination with bailing on Cleveland to form a superteam would easily make him the worst player to ever lace up on an NBA court.
I doubt he gets caught anytime soon, the NBA simply isn't trying to find anything.
I don't even know how this stuff broke in the MLB era. If it just started with a can't debunk leak of epic proportions or what, but the MLB was very similar to the NBA back then in trying to ignore the problem.
I need to get a refresher on that whole saga.

So....JJJJJAAAAXXXX revealed why he was cut from the team. He thought he should be getting playing time over Manu and Green and Pop wasn't having none of that.
This is a great article. You guys should read it. There's more at the link
Here for fun Jackson flies from reality
MIAMI Stephen Jackson flew commercial to Miami on Tuesday. He should have been on the Spurs' charter. He should have been joking with Tim Duncan and listening to Gregg Popovich. He should have been preparing for his second Finals and hoping he would get a few minutes trying to defend LeBron James; the Spurs might have been better for that, too.
Instead, Jackson sat in 3A, on United flight 1158, from Houston to Miami.Any regrets, he was asked?
Nope, he said. Got my money. He smiled broadly, as if to convince himself.
Jackson says he didn't come to Miami to watch the Finals. He said he hasn't watched any of the Spurs' games this spring.

Jose Canseco was part of it, right? I mean he's a shameless self promoter and a goofy dude most of the time, but back when this was all starting his book that talked about a ton of this steroid stuff was big in getting the conversation started I think.
If you're staying downtown the city is easily walkable. However, the ATT Center is a straight shot down Houston Street about five miles from the Alamo yet decidedly unwalkable. You'll be traversing through one of the most dangerous parts of the city. I'd advise you to grab a hotel downtown and just spring for a taxi to the game. Or you can hop on one of the public transit buses, which usually during Spurs' games offer 'park and ride' from specific destinations directly to the arena. And you'd have a lot of fun for a weekend getaway - San Antonio is the most visited city in Texas and Riverwalk, Alamo, Mission Reach, and Pearl should keep you busy enough. If you want upscale, head to La Cantera on the north side.

Oh yeah I remember that.
It always starts with the shadiest motherfuckers on the planet breaking this stuff. Jose, McNamee...Incarcarated Bob lulz
Awesome, awesome stuff- thanks a ton. Glad I can kinda get by without a car rental (not sure I'm old enough lol). But youve made this seem very possible. Looking at tix for the 16th... I think ima do it.
Work on Monday will be an unholy bitch though.
Pretty sure you gotta be 25 to rent a car otherwise there's an extra fee of some sorts
and lol you'd have to fly back right after the game!?
Incognito is right, the arena is inexplicably in this really ghetto part of town out of nowhere. it's like a stadium in the middle of a giant grass field.
Yeah I'd need to figure out the flight back/travel to the arena.
Also convincing the gf to go on a trip squarely planned around bball...
We shall see
This is the only time you can test if she is marriage material, Peter!
If I do go to game 5 I'll let you know, but if you're with your woman, I can imagine you won't wanna tell her "Hey there's another Heat fan on the internet I know here!" I'd understand
I'm thinking of being in Austin Saturday then SA Sunday but not sure. Gotta see how games 1-4 play out first lol
And San Antonio kinda blows if you're alone, but it's a good getaway if your significant other is there, if that's a factor in whether you want to go
I didn't, but I'm going to have to look. I like Zach Lowe a lot.

He also picked the Griz in 6 I believe. It was a good write up though. I honestly do think it comes down to the Spurs role players and he hit on that point.
Haha! What a little bitter bitch.
