Spurs punch ticket to the NBA Finals

Heat-Spurs II is now the most exciting ticket in Sports

The San Antonio Spurs vaulted themselves into history with a 112-107 road victory over the Western Conference number two seed Oklahoma City Thunder and earned the chance at a rematch with the defending NBA Champion Miami Heat who beat the Indiana Pacers in six games.

Odds makers currently have the Spurs slightly ahead to win the match up but what we do know is this:

  • Spurs Heat I went seven games
  • San Antonio is ranked 2nd in offense and 2nd in defense during the playoffs
  • Miami is ranked 1st in offense and 6th in defense

In Miami, LeBron James was watching the Spurs close out the Thunder and remarked on comments made by Spurs PF Tim Duncan after the game.

“We’re excited about it,” Duncan said in post game interviews. ” We’ve got four more to win. We’ll do it this time,” adding  “We’re happy it’s the Heat again. We’ve got that bad taste in our mouths still.”

“They don’t like us, they don’t. I can sense it from Timmy’s comments over the last couple of days,” James said after the Heat held an extended practice on Monday. “They wanted this, they wanted us and we’ll be ready for the challenge.”

As for tickets, prices are going through the roof.  In San Antonio, tickets  for the upper level are generally beginning at $275.00 and can go all the way to $21,ooo for a Terrace Level seat.  At Alamo Tickets, prices are ranging from $296.00 each (upper balcony)  to $4,500 each (court side behind Heat bench).  Be sure to get your tickets now before they are all gone!

 

 

 

Spurs take 3-2 Series lead

The San Antonio Spurs took another step in realizing their quest of getting back to the NBA Finals by thrashing the Oklahoma City Thunder 89-117.  The beating was thorough and precise and the Spurs played high level basketball against a very, very good basketball team.  It is exactly what you should get from a #1 seed taking on a #2 seed Western Conference finals.

“We absolutely believe we can (in OKC Game six). It’s a tough place to play, and they’re going to be fighting for their lives,” Forward Tim Duncan said after the game.  “But we feel we can play the right way. We take care of the ball. We do the things we’ve been talking about all series long, there’s no reason why we can’t win it.”

Game six is scheduled for Saturday at 7:30 p.m.  Great seats and cheap tickets are still available.  Get yours now!!

Thunder even up series against Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs had hoped to steal a game from the Oklahoma City Thunder but, Serge Ibaka aside, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook had other ideas for the night.  The duo combined for 71 points and Westbrook set a career playoff five steals.

“I don’t know if it’s the best game we’ve ever played together, we ‘ve played so many games now but I think we have another level we can get to.”

Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich pulled the plug on his starters early on in the rout but the bench pulled within 12 points in the fourth quarter but Pop refused to put the starters back in, in an effort to preserve his aging trio of Duncan, Ginobili and Parker.

“Pop did a great job all season keeping us fresh,” Parker said.  “I understand his decision (to keep the starters on the bench), I trust his judgment and now I just have to be ready for Game 5.”

Great seats for Game five are still available so be sure to get your tickets and help cheer on your San Antonio Spurs!
