Moussa looks like he weighs about 98 lbs.
My name is DeJuan Blair. You blocked my shot. Prepare to die. - CH&LD

but look, he has calf muscles though, so i’d figure about 101.
McDyess can bring [toughness] back. Not sexy back unfortunately, though we already have Manu for that.~silverandblack_davis

No, I’m in anonymous media land. I’m joined by Jordan from Liberty Ballers and Frank from BrewHoop. Jordan makes me feel OLD.

You guys HAVE to find a replay of the Brent Petway dunk to end the half. He threw it down from about two feet from the basket. As in, he never got near the rim.

Freakin’ NBA. I’m seriously afraid I’m going to lose my mind and fork over $15 for the Summer League by the time the Spurs tip off. I don’t think I’m going to be able to stand not seeing the new guys play.
Also, found out today that the Rocky Mountain Revue is dead. Had no idea.

I don’t think I can swing that, anyway. I was thinking more of $150, $200 seats.

If you get low seats (rows 1-5) in sections 207-209 or 223-225, you won’t regret whatever you spend. They aren’t bloated like the lower level seats. Plus I figure whatever you save you can spend on parking/drinks/food/fan shop if you are desperate to give the money to Holt & Co. The fans are more enjoyable in the 200’s anyways.
Game choice is huge. I went to like 8 or so regular season games last season and my Cavs ticket cost 4 times as much as what I paid for any other game.
Did we really just add a player good enough to be guarded by Bruce Bowen?
Also: face value on those seats is like $47 but you’ll probably end up paying anywhere from 60-140 on a reseller after shipping depending on the game.

Hm, that’s not too bad. I was thinking of buying them online from Spurs.com, though… Do I have to go to a reseller?

I’m hoping to have 2-3 season tickets to section 207 by the end of the weekend depending on how many games my friends are willing to pay for in a split. I’m looking to get 1 seat for every game (45 tickets) and anywhere from 22-30 games on another seat depending on how many of my friends want in and how many games they want.
Its been surprisingly difficult to convince my friends (who were all raised in SA) with the “The FO is going all in and Timmy and Manu aren’t getting any younger” arguments.
I figure I’ll regret not getting them forever if:
A. We are anywhere near as good as I think we will be.
B. I have to move from San Antonio next year which is a possibility.
C. I wait because it will be easier to buy them when I am older and make more money. Then I am in my 30’s and look at the roster and say “If only this was Duncan, Tony, and Manu…..I hate my life.”
D. Holt says he has to sell the Spurs or can’t resign Manu because they were 2 tickets shy of meeting what they needed to sell.
E. I wait and the economy gets better and I can’t ever afford decent seats again.
It’ll cost me almost exactly what I pay per month for service for my girlfriend’s and my iPhones for 1 season ticket.
Did we really just add a player good enough to be guarded by Bruce Bowen?
Yeah, I think I’ll look into paying those $15 tomorrow.
