available on nbatv in san antonio?

Could not find information on local broadcast. If there's any news on that, I'll update. I would think that if there's no local coverage, NBA TV won't black it out, but not sure ATM.

[ElNono]

Actually, just found it. Game is in Houston, will be broadcast by KTXH there. I'll update the post in a min.

[stephen jackson]

hopefully its on tv

[benefactor]

Now all we need are couple of greys to tell us who should and who should not be starting game blogs and the season will officially be kicked off.

[NASpurs]

I wonder how Pop is going to manage the minutes. Will he give more minutes to the rookies/young players in a meaningless preseason game to evaluate them, try different things he can't do in a regular season game or seeing as their only two preseason games this year and how everything is so jumbled up in a hurry, will he give more minutes to his usual rotation so they can get a feel of things?

I'm betting more of the latter. Pop will probably be forced to treat these two preseason games much like he would treat the last two preseason games of a normal season: not quite full minutes for the starters, but close enough to give them a good run and establish some semblance of a regular season rotation. Otherwise they would have to spend the first few games of the season trying to hammer these things out, and in a shortened season, each win or loss takes on even heavier weight.

[Fireball]

Agreed ... so it will be very interesting to see the starting lineup as it might be the one for the start of the regular season as well.

[TDMVPDPOY]

if we beat this 2nd seed team in the west according to their fans...does that make spurs contenders

nice game blog

[benefactor]

Nice to see Spurs basketball back on the channel guide. Timer is set.

[Nathan89]

Splitter should get big minutes at least.

I can't wait to see Kawhi.

Also I want to see how athletic TJ looks.

[ElNono]

Manu probably traveled to hang out with Scola... wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't play, tbh

[loveforthegame]

Not surprised.

Hopefully Splitter gets a lot of minutes but I'm sure we'll be seeing Bonner and Novak instead. Wouldn't mind seeing how Blair does. Probably lots of Lawal too.

So long as he doesn't sit Leonard who I'm really wanting to get a better look at.

[8FOR!3]

I'm excited to see how James Anderson does.

[Fireball]

As expected Manu only made the trip to see Louis Scola ...

This pre-season game was never going to be televised. Spurs.com stated that the HOME pre-season game on Wednesday will be televised, not the one @Houston.

[SaTownFan]

Scheduled to show on nbatv. I'm here in sa hopefully it's not blacked out.

[SaTownFan]

If you have time Warner it's on channel 121 for he and 205 for standard definition

[jeebus]

It's bound to be online somewhere...

[Harry Callahan]

NBA TV. I imagine Buffalo Wild wings would have the game if you go there if you don't have NBA TV.

[Ditty]

I hope they won't black out the game for the people in SA, on nba tv like they usually do.

[SpursPreacher]

Man I am glad to see these again its only preseason but go spurs go good to be back.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

I hope they won't black out the game for the people in SA, on nba tv like they usually do.

Good question. Typically they black out any NBA TV or NBA LP games in SA, because you're in the viewing area for your local coverage. But it's not being televised locally. Depends on what the rule says and how they interpret it I guess.

What does it say on your local listing for your TV service?

[DPG21920]

What I'm looking for:

1) How does TJ Ford look physically. He could really be a big asset if his decline over the past couple years was due to mindset/situation and not physical ability. Spurs 2nd unit will have to be huge this year.

2) Tiago Splitter: Does he get minutes and can he find a way to defend without fouling and can he protect the rim a la Tyson (not blocking a lot of shots, but contesting with length. Can he help in PnR defense?). Can Tiago find a way to make shots on offense or continue to build on drawing fouls on that end?

3) James Anderson: Can he pick up where he left off on both ends? Did he work on ball handling? Can he be the starting 2?

4) Kawhi Leonard: Is his defense/rebounding/motor going to be instantly impactful? Any shot of him cracking the starting line up?

[timvp]

I'm pretty damn excited even though it'll be a glorified practice :hungry:

[benefactor]

No doubt. The team is on the floor, so I'm stoked.

[JonNOKC]

is frank hassel from ODU on team still - Butler only one already cut correct?

[Obstructed_View]

Just happy to see them playing. Won't know what to expect until we see who is (or isn't) in the rotation the second game of the year. I could actually see Pop playing Splitter against Memphis just because of the playoffs but then stashing him on the end of the bench after that.

[200 miles]

Any predictions for tonight's lineup?

Knowing Pop, I'd say:

C Blair
F Bonner
F Jefferson
G Ginobili
G Ford

[Borosai]

If I can watch the game, I'll be observing Anderson, Leonard and Splitter. That's where it's at.

James Anderson is our savior & without him their is no team this year. We won't even be above .500 without him.

I'm in the san antonio area and I got it. They usually black it out but hopefully not this time. It's strange that yours is blacked out and mine isn't.

[roycrikside]

I wonder if these Rockets announcers are gonna talk as much shit about the Spurs as usual for a preseason game. No Drexler this time at least.

[GB20]

i hope not body get hurt

[ElNono]

I got some Mav retrospective.

They were just showing that about 20 mins ago.. are you sure your DVR isn't rewinded?

[Libri]

TBH, I'm surprised Bonner isn't starting either.

Pop is saving him for the playoffs.

[mystargtr34]

It's $169...

http://www.nba.com/leaguepass/index.html

Im international... althought its $250 including playoffs and finals... i think last season was $150 for regular season + extra for playoffs.. but still i think they have upped the price.

[roycrikside]

Ford on the board with a turnover. I love that signing.

[spursince#99]

And he travels

[Nathan89]

Lmao Scola shitting on the Spurs/Blair.

[ace3g]

that shot by RJ looked quick

[GB20]

Scola lighting it up...

Blair is still fat and small !

[mystargtr34]

Damn Scola is good :lol

[jeebus]

Time to write this season off.

where is choo choo/

recovering from operation

[gospursgojas]

I live in sa...at work....I'm recording game, is it showing or not? Timvp says no el Nono and Nathan say yes....which is it? Please say yes!

[L.I.T]

Spurs look quite out of sync.

[roycrikside]

we're gonna be great this year.

[mystargtr34]

Wonder what Pop is thinking while Scola lights the Spurs up every time they play :lol

[Robz4000]

Wow, this hurts to watch...

[spursince#99]

This is embarrassing

[Juggity]

Ginobili's having a tough time scoring so far. Not too encouraged by this game so far either.

[bbarry]

manu always misses the easiest shots in the world.

[jeebus]

Once Bonner comes in, I'm turning it off

[TDMVPDPOY]

we fkn suck at reb

[Fireball]

Splitter was already fouled 3 times

[spursince#99]

We look so old & slow

[turkish spurs fan]

kawhi loenard 8 points 4 rebo in 5 mins great.....

[bbarry]

spurs letting rockets have anything they want inside

as expected

[Em-City]

not pretty

[GB20]

we are messing a lot easy layups.

[dbestpro]

Blair looks to be as bad as usual.

[spursince#99]

Can he please sub in James Anderson

[timvp]

TJ Ford looks like trash so far, especially defensively. Hopefully once he figures out to just pass it to Manu and get out of the way, he'll be more useful.

Post up plays for Splitter? Nice to see.

[gospursgojas]

I live in sa...at work....I'm recording game, is it showing or not? Timvp says no el Nono and Nathan say yes....which is it? Please say yes!

god that hook looked bad

here comes the red rocket

[jeebus]

Ah hell. There's bonner. That's it for me.

[L.I.T]

Damn TJ is fast little bugger. I kind of like that added dimension to the second unit.

[spursince#99]

Tj is an awesome free throw shooter

[ChumpDumper]

[turkish spurs fan]

matt bonner is better than kevin durant

[GB20]

fuck scola

If nothing else, Splitter is boarding well.

fuck scolaAt least Splitter came out on him.

[spursince#99]

[The ADMIRAL 50]

TJ's playmaking has been great so far tonight

[Em-City]

but still looks lost offensively

[Fireball]

If nothing else, Splitter is boarding well.

1 Reb in 9 min?

[mystargtr34]

You really cant guard Scola.. he has everything.. wet jumper... good pump fake and drive.. great post game.

Good to see Splitter trying to work on his post game ... even though it looks like a trash :lol.

[L.I.T]

His speed is the only thing that looks good right now, but we live in hope.

Yup. Defense is crap and doesn't seem to have a grasp of offense yet. Hopefully, that will come.

Only assist of note so far was that little shovel to Bonner for three on the fast break.

[timvp]

JA looked like Paul Pierce on that jab step pull up J.

eJuan Blair's efense not great so far.

[spursince#99]

Leonard came 2 the wrong team

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Three assists already plus some great passes on misses

[GB20]

Cory looks tall

[spursince#99]

James Anderson the best player on the team

[Em-City]

ugly ft's from leonard :lol:

stop fouling houston!1

kawhi is better free thrower than jose calderon

[TDMVPDPOY]

great defense keep balls alive gettin boards

[Em-City]

haha, who the hell is hassell??

fck leonard should be gettin some plays...wtf is this shit deferring

[ChumpDumper]

Hassell getting time before Novak or Lawal.

[arles]

This is just rough.

But entertaining :downspin:

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Franklin Hassell who is that?

From Old Dominion, averages of 15 and 9 as a senior.

[stephen jackson]

is that trenton hassel lol

[DPG21920]

TJ looks healthy, which is the single most thing I was looking for. Other than that, underwhelming (not unexpected).

Cory looks bad, good size though.

Blair looks terrible on defense and his energy level is lower than I expected.

Kawhi seems like a timid guy which sucks. But he is making some decent decisions. His cross court pass was pretty bad.

Tiago looked much like he did last year.

No real bright spots at the moment, but JA looks more fluid now.

[timvp]

Joseph not as fast as I hoped. Seems to be getting pretty good lift on his J tho.

[spursince#99]

Cory Anderson Leonard Hassel & Bonner really played well as a unit defensively

[ElNono]

Leonard surprisingly rotating correctly early on...

Bonner dusting off the "hands up" defense made me grin :lol

[blkroadrunners]

:lol Thabeet is making his presence known

[ElNono]

Good D, Mr Anderson

[FaM0us Skins]

offensive foul

[L.I.T]

Leonard looks like he does have solid defensive instincts.

Like how fluid JA is looking.

[DPG21920]

:lol JA on that foul

[ducks]

can not make free throws

[ace3g]

nice blk by Leonard

[ElNono]

cow-hi with the block

[DPG21920]

Leonard with some really good defense right there on an athletic player :tu

[ElNono]

Bonner-Blair :(

[DPG21920]

SMH Bonner not diving for that ball and letting Scola just scoop it up.

[ducks]

thabeet is a decent big

[Juggity]

Thabeet playing for his future...Trying to show he isn't a total scrub

[DMC]

Guaranteed that if Bonner has his hands up near the rim, the opponent will score. Bonner is fucking useless on defense, he's a negative presence.

[Em-City]

i'd take thabeet over blair, no lie...

[L.I.T]

The Spurs-Killing Bs are in.

Is it possible Blair looks even more lethargic than last year?

[ElNono]

I can't believe Houston wanted to give away Scola, tbh... he's 80% of that team

[dbestpro]

There is not a 2nd string team in the NBA that cannot exploit the defense of Bonner / Blair.

[DPG21920]

thabeet is a decent big

A decent 5 minutes against Blair/Bonner does not erase all the bad moments before it. He has shown flashes (namely moving his feet pretty well on the perimeter for such a big guy) but overall not good.

[Bill_Brasky]

JA is aggressive, I like.

Leonard has looked awesome on the boards/defense, looks like he did in college on offense.

[TDMVPDPOY]

why is leonard fkn passive on offense... :(

stop hovering around the perimeter and attack the rim

[ElNono]

Gino and Novak in

[GB20]

is scola going to play the whole dawn game?

[Ice009]

Bonner and RJ's presence on the court is already draining.

Blair is quickly getting into that category too, which is crazy when he is supposed to be a high energy guy, but he's becoming an energy drainer because his defense is so bad and he keeps missing easy shots.

[DPG21920]

Huge difference in the mindset and attitude of a guy like Iman Shupert and Kawhi on offense.

[ElNono]

It's early, but Blair looks like he hit the 3-year vet wall

[dbestpro]

Blair should be called Elmer Fudd. He keeps missing the bunny.

[ajballer4]

Lol blair/novak posts. And we thought the Turd Towers was bad

[DMC]

I can't believe Houston wanted to give away Scola, tbh... he's 80% of that team
On one end.

It's useless to have a good player when you don't make the playoffs.

[GB20]

i think houston is showing off scola. he playing a lot minutes.

[stephen jackson]

bonner has taken 5 shots :(

[ElNono]

On one end.

It's useless to have a good player when you don't make the playoffs.

They were switching him for Pau Gasol... I mean, an upgrade, but still another good player

[DMC]

How can a person who's played as many minutes as Bonner has, with the same team, be lost every fucking minute on the floor?

[DMC]

They were switching him for Pau Gasol... I mean, an upgrade, but still another good player

Pau can get them to the playoffs with a few scrubs. Look what he did for Kobe.

[ElNono]

Pau can get them to the playoffs with a few scrubs. Look what he did for Kobe.

Maybe

[DPG21920]

TJ will be a good Spurs, he's playing bad defense.

[Juggity]

24% from the field is pretty abysmal

[DPG21920]

TJ has shown good, decisive decision making, but these are things we knew he could do. The questions are can he defend adequately and take good shots and get to the line.
