It’s just after one o’clock a.m. I have been in the Frost Bank Center for seven hours. After an eight hour work day. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. This has been the best year of my life as far as all things Spurs go. I’ve been to more games, sat in on press conferences, and hobnobbed with journalists I admire while the team has elevated to a contender and revealed some of the sports brightest stars.
And now they have advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals.

As I have to get up in four hours for my daytime job, I will share some of what I captured once the Spurs cleared the hurdle of their first series.
Once the Spurs won, they went into the drum call-and-response that Wemby started with the Jackals. As Keldon was honored before the game for his Sixth Man of the Year award, he was the man of the hour when it was time to lead the postgame ritual.
Afterward, I headed down to the postgame presser with Mitch Johnson…
…followed by Stephon Castle…
…then Julian Champagnie, who kicked off the evening in a turbo gear…
…and finally Wemby…
The Spurs will have a couple of days off as they await an opponent. The Denver/Minnesota series is currently heading back to Minneapolis for game 6. Denver is in a must-win situation. With Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo both out, their task is less arduous, but no less critical.

Are you rooting for or against anyone in this series as the victor stands in the way of the Spurs destination of the Western Conference Finals?
That’s all for now, must get some sleep. Just a honk of the horn as I pass through downtown and then straight to bed.
Go Spurs Go!
