The Spurs took a 3-1 series lead on the Jazz last night, and are now just one win away from advancing to the NBA Finals. Apparently that was enough reason to celebrate for a group of about 200 of their fans, who went to the airport in the middle of the night to greet the team as they returned home from Utah.
Wow, there must REALLY be nothing to do in San Antonio. Two things I enjoyed about this video: the guy dancing around in the huge hat towards the beginning, and Tim Duncan pointing (presumably) at the fans toward the end, with the "look at those idiots!" grin on his face.
that is some big talk from a guy who is barely holding on to his blog. it's like a ghost town here. you guys need rustling wind sound effects and little cg tumbleweeds rolling across the screen.
after that warriors/punks article it's been mighty slow around here. now i understand that the negative spurs' fans articles come out on slow news days. the last refuge of beaten and desperate man.
do you realize how many people live in san antonio? (it's about 2 million) so, about 1% of the population was at the airport. i will admit that those people probably didn't have anything better to do and are a little "freaky", but hey, they love their spurs.
oh, and i think tim was pointing and laughing at oberto's ride.

We appreciate the loyalty Dave, really. We're just coming off a holiday weekend, the volume will increase I promise.
Craig and I actually have real, full-time jobs, so combine that with the fact that I blog more frequently over at AOL's FanHouse, and occasionally we hit a dry spell here.
And come on, you should know by now that I don't rip on the Spurs and their fans out of desperation, I do it for the great pleasure it brings to me and our (literally) thousands of readers.

Check out Robert Horry - he's all dressed up for that flight back home.
And hey - at least SA fans aren't throwing lip balm at the other teams players...

Yeah, but how about the Jazz fans pelting the Spurs with garbage after their team lost in game 4. It makes me wonder... if something would have hit Bruce Bowen then he could have literally been a "dirty" player.
Looks like it will be the Cavs and Spurs in the finals (hopefully). At least it's better than the Spurs vs the Pistons.
