Rare typo alert Tom - this game was on April 8.

merci, fixed

Glad you had a good time at Intuit. I've been skeptical of Ballmer's pricing, and indeed the cheap seats have been going as low as 13 bucks lately, and on TV I've seen a lot of empty ones even in the lower bowl. But I'm sure it's great once you get there.

My first visit to Intuit tonight. What an impressive building. Lucked out on Stubhub to some 5th row half court seats. Didn't even know it included the "Red Lounge" (not sure the name), open bar and buffet.
The technology, video effects, lighting, and sound was dazzling.
The staff, to a person, were the most friendly and customer service oriented of any venue I think I've ever been to outside of perhaps the Masters Golf Tournament.
Just a killer experience.
Sad to see CP3 playing at about half his former self - I think he wound up with 9 points.

Zu didn't really have a true center opposing him so he had a 20+-20+ night.
Kawhi and Coffee sat out, but Spurs just don't have the horses right now so the game never seemed in doubt, even when Spurs got a small lead a couple times.

Huge opportunity tomorrow/Wednesday hosting Houston. Leonard should be fresh, hopefully Houston will be coasting since they've clinched 2d place in Western Conference.

3d is still within reach - would love to see the fLakers drop one or two.

I've been to 2 games and have enjoyed the experience, and am going tonight. Besides all you said, another benefit of the tighter seating is that the walking distances in the arena feel a lot shorter than at Staples which has more of a 'megabuilding' feel.

If the Spurs were healthy and heading to the playoffs I think CP3 would be just fine and helping however he could. But playing out the string at this age is pretty depressing and I don't even really like the guy.

GARBAGE TIME REPORT:

We won by only 5. HOU bench was plus+13 in only 4 minutes.
OUR bench [Miller, Brown, Christie, Flowers] was minus-7 in ONE official minute.

Ass. Just sayin'. Starters played too many minutes but we couldn't afford to drop this gimme. Ty did the right thing.

That minus -7 from the bench was all Jordan Miller.
