Why aren't the San Antonio Spurs selling out the Western Conference Finals?

It's pretty easy to see why:

1) Utah Jazz. Who cares to see these guys play anyway? Boozer and Kirilenko? Boo-ring.

2) Letdown. Everyone sweated the Suns series and then the Spurs won.

3) Performance Fatigue. I've personally attended 20+ playoff games and two NBA finals since 2001. Fun, but not something I need to do every single year.

4) The Price. Ticket prices are ridiculous. Once you factor in $15 in ticket bastard fees, you're looking at $65 for Upper Level nosebleed seats. For bad lower bowl seats, you're looking at $200+ a piece. Huh?

5) The Product. Face it, in person the games are boring -- especially on national TV. The Spurs organization ramble the same soundtrack repeatedly, play the same gimmicky games, and so on. Then you have to sit there in a teeny tiny seat for a 20 minute half-time where they truck in some total crap plate spinner or paint bucket beaters and only have garbage refreshments available for $6.75 a beer.

6) Game Time. 8pm start on a Tuesday? I don't want to get home at midnight.

The Spurs are out to make a buck. Just like any other business they are trying to maximize profits. I don't hold that against them. But, I don't have to go to the games and I generally don't. Looks like many other people don't either...

same dude kissing new older woman at table


This was one of the highlights of my LV trip. I joined a No Limit table at the Luxor with Luke, about 6 Canadians there on a weekend holiday, and an older woman. One guy was wasted (See photo), jokingly propositioned the older woman at the table for a kiss and she called his bluff. He walked over and gave her about 30 seconds of deep tongue action.

She lost her money and left about 10 minutes later, only to be replaced by this new woman. I had my camera ready when the same thing happened...
