2015-16 NBA Western Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[Hornsstampede2.0]

It will be interesting for Memphis.

I am guessing San Antonio will likely tank tonight with a JV lineup giving UTAH a free win.

That probably aint going to help the Grizz.

Laker fans--- are tickets insane for the last game? Does anyone know what Kobe's status is ?

i cant imagine how much the tickets could be...

I just looked at stubhub.
Highest is 500,000. Lowest 620.
However, those are all obviously unsold.

Last I heard, least expensive ticket was $690. Not sure how accurate it is. I haven't looked on any ticket sites because I have no intention of going unless I win the contest Time Warner is having (which ain't happening).

Lakers: Ticket Prices for Kobe Bryant’s Last Game In Comparison


by Nate Edelman 9h ago Follow @NateEdelman

What else could Lakers fans buy with the money they’d spend to go to Kobe Bryant’s last game?
Fortunately, the season is winding down for the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are limping to the finish line, and will most likely finish with the worst record in franchise history. Despite this historically dreadful season, there happens to be one thing to look forward to in the midst ofD’Angelo Russell’s controversy and stress before the NBA lottery. And that is Kobe Bryant’s last game, which will be on April 13 versus the Utah Jazz. It will be an emotional goodbye, one that will be remembered by Lakers fans (and haters just as much so) for a long time.



Many curious Lakers fans have surely gone online to look up ticket prices for the finale to see what it would cost to go. Even knowing that the tickets were going to be marked up, that doesn’t make it any less mind-blowing how much money these tickets are actually going for! These insane prices were an inspiration to compile a list of items one can buy with the money it’d take to purchase a ticket to Kobe’s last game.

Organized by sections at the Staples Center (from Upper Level to Courtside), here’s a look at that list.

Upper Level (Average price $800 per ticket):

• 160 $5 Footlongs at Subway
• 160 20-Piece Chicken McNuggets from McDonalds
• A Samsung 50-Inch 1080p Smart LED TV
• 16 Pairs of White Vans (Daaamn Daniel)
• About 170 Grande Vanilla Latte’s from Starbucks
• 2 Beats by Dre Studio Wireless Over-the-Ear Headphones
• Roughly 100 movie tickets

Mid Level (Average price $2,000 per ticket)

• 10 new iPhone 6S’s (contract price)
• About 20 Kobe Bryant replica jerseys from the NBA Store
• 2 Upper Level tickets to an NBA Finals game at ORACLE Arena
• A new 15-inch Macbook Pro
• 10 Spalding NBA game basketballs
• 20 Lakers custom Swingman home jerseys
• 20 tickets to Disneyland

Premiere Level (Average price $5,000 per ticket)

• Infield Box season tickets at Dodger Stadium for all 81 home games
• About 8 Oculus Rift’s
• About 7 shares of Alphabet Inc.
• About 1,450 Double-Doubles from In-N-Out
• About 9 roundtrip flights from LAX to Honolulu
• About 33 Aviator classic Ray Bans
• 1,000 Original Sized smoothies from Jamba Juice

Loge Level (Average price $10,000 per ticket)

• About 10 Epson Home Cinema LCD Projectors (to watch the game)
• 1,333 Steak Burritos from Chipotle
• 10 Polo Striped Ralph Lauren Suits
• 666 Taco 12 Packs from Taco Bell
• 50 Kobe XI Elite shoes
• 2 Level Endzone seats to Super Bowl 51

Courtside/Suite Level (Average price $20,000 per ticket)

• 100 Hoverboards
• 8 pairs of Kanye West Yeezy Boots
• 50 General Admission Tickets to Coachella
• A private island off the coast in Florida (proof:Broad Key - Florida, United States - Private Islands for Sale)
• 100 pairs of Ugg Boots
• 133 pounds of Kobe beef steak
• 100 GoPro’s

So there you have it. Is buying a ticket to Kobe Bryant’s last game really worth it? I’m not so sure it is.

Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul talked about winning titles as teammates

boohoo......almost feel sorry for them- wait- no- not in the slightest.

Do you know what "winning titles" means?

Conley season is over. Very possible he played his last game with Memphis

Contract year and they aren't going anywhere.

He played thru a broken face last year.

So, I'm okay with him doing what's in the best interest of his free agency.

You, know the Clippers are very quietly looming.

They are going to eclipse 50 wins... largely without Blake Griffin. I'm not sure enough is being said about that accomplishment.

This is a team that took down the Spurs last year. With Griffin back and very well rested... they could be a dangerous playoff team.

2nd round in the West is going to be awesome.

He has no wind.

First game back, he was gassed the first 5 minutes.

I wished he had come back sooner.

We have to get out of the 2nd round.

But, they can't beat the Warriors.

Gone fishin....

Imo, the Clippers are stuck in NBA purgatory. They aren't good enough to make it out of the West and don't really have much way to improve the team enough to do that.

They're also not bad enough to get any help through the draft. Might be time to start looking at some trades?

Another player down for Memphis. Did any of you other guys get emails asking if you were available to play for the Grizzlies?

 

[bksballer89]

Memphis is going to beat Chicago

Like I said, Hoiberg is a bad coach.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

That was easy for Memphis.

So much for not winning another game.

And the SPURS decided to play their starters versus Utah as well.

Surprisingly good night for the Grizzlies.

I thought highly of the Bulls.....Not sure why

 

[bksballer89]

Wolves just got royally screwed. Overturned a BS call when Curry was still moving. Took away a 3 point play that would have tied the game
