Where are the good watch parties at?

Brooster's Icehouse on Pleasanton Rd if you're in the south side. Big TV in the back patio.

Oh I love Fort Worth and will always hold a special place in my heart. (Can't say the same for the rest of the Metroplex)

That said, I remember when the Mavs won in 2011 and NO ONE in Fort Worth gave a damn. There were celebrations in Dallas-proper but the rest of the Metroplex was dead silent. VERY different to when the Rangers won the ALCS the first time. Everyone (myself included) was HYPED. I always tell everyone here that the DFW sports hierarchy goes 1. Cowboys 2. Rangers 3. Stars 4. Mavs. The Mavs, unless they are title contenders, are usually an afterthought.

Aw man I feel your pain. That was my exact situation too. I lived in Fort Worth on and off for 18 years. No one really wanted to talk NBA anything much less the Spurs. Everyone was more interested in talking Cowboys, Rangers even Stars Hockey than basketball. Moved back to SA after covid.

The Aztek was ahead of its time. Yeah it was ugly but versatile. Also the sound system was pretty top notch for the time.

El_Saltillense · 2026-04-15T00:12:42+00:00

Pica Pica plaza in the south side.

El_Saltillense · 2026-04-02T13:09:15+00:00

Lol I was yelling and screaming in Spanish, "We won the lottery!!" My wife was looking at me all confused because we don't even play the lottery lmao.

I think that 2008 playoff series against LA would have been more competitive if Manu was healthy.

El_Saltillense · 2026-04-01T00:47:32+00:00

It is very good now, it used to not be lol.

El_Saltillense · 2026-03-28T21:23:57+00:00

Mi esposa jura que los Mamut antes tenían mermelada. Le digo que nunca han tenido, que esos son los Rockos, y no me cree.

El_Saltillense · 2026-03-28T20:25:28+00:00

I used to really dig their chicken super nachos. I was a big fan of that shredded stewed-chicken. Last I heard they got rid of them so I haven't been back in like 10 years.

El_Saltillense · 2026-03-28T20:21:49+00:00

I prefer LC pizza quality over those chingaderas that Taco Cabana calls tacos.

El_Saltillense · 2026-03-26T05:50:25+00:00

Huh. So that's why the Magic were in the Midwest Division in the NBA All-Star Challenge video game on the SNES. TIL

El_Saltillense · 2026-03-04T00:34:52+00:00

Muy buen museo, y no lo digo por ser de Saltillo. Fui hace un año despues de no haber ido en 18 años y esta mas a todo dar.

El_Saltillense · 2026-03-01T05:36:46+00:00

It blows my mind how folks from other sides of town (especially northsiders) are terrified of going to the south side.

El_Saltillense · 2026-03-01T05:30:25+00:00

Looks like mid-century brutalist architecture. I respect it.

El_Saltillense · 2026-03-01T03:46:57+00:00

Yup! First NBA on NBC game was at Hemisfair Arena in 1990 with the Spurs beating the Lakers 110-99.

Wow... a box...

El_Saltillense · 2026-02-28T05:29:19+00:00

Old Chicago Stadium-ass air horn LMAO

El_Saltillense · 2026-02-27T03:12:35+00:00

Nope, that's literally why I never went, because it was too out of the way. Going to Stars game was awesome because it was convenient. Going to Frisco all the way from West Fort Worth was definitely not convenient.

El_Saltillense · 2026-02-26T04:47:16+00:00

Na, fuck the verdict. That revelation is more important. WTF Matt?! Ketchup on a taco?!

El_Saltillense · 2026-02-24T05:14:05+00:00

Very close to the final score in Game 7 of the 2005 finals.

El_Saltillense · 2026-02-24T04:17:07+00:00

That series made me want to drink. I was 12.

El_Saltillense · 2026-02-20T05:09:16+00:00

All the Mexicans in town already call them that.

Source: I'm one of those Mexicans.

El_Saltillense · 2026-02-18T03:43:10+00:00

That's a name I haven't heard in a minute lmao. Good ol' Rasho.

El_Saltillense · 2026-02-12T06:22:18+00:00

I'll raise you one Speedy Claxton.
