Unfortunately that is not how it works. You got season ticket holders and some cities getting sellouts all the time.

Its not a matter of if you can afford it or not. Or for the rich lang. Kaya i cited an example in manila, eh kung ikaw or tayo mismo nakabili ng ticket tapos ginanun tayo? How will we feel? Sakit diba? Parang sinampal tayo. Fans pay for players salaries. For me lang, Its pure disrespect to fans when owners and coaches dont let them play.

Or imagine you visited san francisco during april and bought a game ticket with your family, tapos hindi pinalaro ni kerr mga star players. Eh yun lang ang game you all can watch, kasi pauwi na kayo. Ano feel mo? Hehe

I think a better example is the game last year with GSW and San Antonio ... GSW was coming from a back to back game, but it was a nationally televised game since they were 1-2 in the NBA with their records last year ... there was a family of three from Mexico that paid almost $7,000 per person for the tickets and travel expenses to watch the game in San Antonio - they were GSW fans, and GSW decided to rest all their stars ... this was the basis of NBA changing their scheduling to have teams that will be nationally televised not to come from back to back games, and at the same time the basis of deciding to fine teams resting their stars (which I think is not happening) ... anyway, GSW met with the family after the game to apologize and gave them some gifts, but that's a very small portion of the audience who spent a lot for the game

Papasok kaya GSW sa finals? Puro talo eh. Mukhang di mananalo sa rockets ang gsw pag nag play offs na.

Sa tingin ko, it will likely depend on what kind of ROCKETS & Harden shows up during the playoffs.

The WARRIORS are tried and tested - they can sleepwalk through the regular season and will crank it up come playoff time.

It's the ROCKETS and Harden who have something to prove. Kaya malaking bagay si CP3 ........ baka siya ang magdala sa ROCKETS kung sakaling "dagain" ulit si Harden during those crucial playoff moments.

both cp3 and harden were not able to tow their respective teams deeper sa play offs pero baka iba na ngaun. kaya lang they are still 1 weapon shy to match the caliber of gsw player for player. but then again bilog ang bola

gsw kasi wala ng sense of urgency, so parang cruise mode during regular season.

good thing for Spurs fans that it's finally the all-star break ... it was hard watching them playing with very depleted line-up, ... hopefully Kawhi and Rudy Gay will be able to play after the all-star break, or at least one of them ... Spurs maintained 3rd place, but teams from 3rd to 10th place in the West are now tightly bunched

regarding the Cavs, seeing them play the last two games, I think that they'll come up as the championship contender again in the Eastern conference ... in the West, I don't think that GSW is certain to top the West the way Houston is playing

GoSpursGo pa rin

Sorry but i find this "criuse mode" the most hogwash. So if they lost more games than usual, criuse mode lang? Gsw have problem if the opposing team have 2 good guards. Curry cant play defense. Yun rotation ng gsw maganda kasi. But once you have 2 good guards and a good big down low, exposed talaga sila. And they dont have a bench.

Of course we will see sa playoffs.

Btw, So yun last game vs portland, cruising lang sila? Kalokohan yan. I just find it funny pag talo gsw, wala kasi gana sila. Hogwash man. When it comes down to it they also want a game 7 at home. Just my opinion siempre.

When cp3, harden and capela play, they are 28-1. I can call that cruise mode too.

That one loss is by 2 points i think hehe.

Nothing is a sure bet. 3 teams that can be scary is jazz, denver and okc. Maybe portland din. Yun new orleans dapat sana with cousins, pero na injured.

That is true. Sana nga all stay healthy. Yun kay harden kasi, he has no other superstar help. So lahat sa kanya. Now with cp3, opposing teams have to focus on him too. Kaya baka mawala na yun daga ni harden hehe. I like boston vs houston. Rematch of 1986 hehe

they are currently 2nd overall, so i dont think we can say gsw struggling. if the playoffs started now, they will still be the team to beat.

same with what cleveland has done at the east the past 3yrs. we always thought they are struggling sa regular season pero pagdating sa playoffs, no match na teams sa east. medyo malas lang ang cavs ngayon dahil nawala si kyrie.

Yup just like boston owning the lakers in the finals. Lakers lost 8 straight finals to boston and lakers finally broke the streak in 1985. Yes anything can happen.

Dagdag mo pa they added joe johnson and wright. Yes if all goes well, they are 12 deep.

Wala ng kapagapagasa ang gsw kung ganun. baka nga di na makalusot sa okc ang gsw sa houston pa kaya.

^ yup GSW pa rin yan. They are just cruisin and bored and experimenting, but come playoff time walis walis time na yan.
Si Harden and Paul invisible na yan pag playoffs, aray aray nanaman yang mga yan.

We will see sa playoffs. Malakas talaga gsw. Not denying that. I just see the rockets as the closest team to beat them. Its not like there are no playoff upsets in nba playoff history.

Lol chillin. Sige na nga. Mas ok nga mag over confident sila. Parang yun mighty lakers of the 80s, yun 85/86 lakers, na bulaga sila ng twin towers and the rest of houston rockets.
