[picnroll]

Seven of last ten at home with only potentially tough games home against Dallas and @ Houston is nice.

[spurschick]

Guess you'll just have to spend time with your family, Spurschick. :lol

[Spursman]

Also, We play 6 back-to-backs the first four months, then we play 6 back-to-backs in the last two months. Of those last six, there are two seperate back-to-backs that are back-to-back. (March 6,7 and 9,10; then March 17,18 and 21,22. Those are obviously in the same month)

[Spurminator]

[travis2]

Looks like they've got the All-Star weekend during that period too...

[Kori Ellis]

No, the All-Star is Feb 19.

[travis2]

hmmmm...then the schedule makers gave them a pretty good slack period in the middle of the road trip...

[baseline bum]

Man, that's bs that they never get the Christmas Day game at home.

[boutons]

It's easy to predict that the Spurs will go 73-9. :)

[spurschick]

TNT will be showing nine games. And, don't they get the WC during the playoffs this season?

[samikeyp]

they don't get the WC Finals but they will have playoff games from the WC.

[spurschick]

they don't get the WC Finals but they will have playoff games from the WC.

I thought that they would have the 2006 WCF since they had the 2005 ECF. Don't they switch back and forth?

Spurs-Pistons on Christmas Day highlights season
Associated Press

NEW YORK -- A Christmas Day doubleheader featuring the San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons in a rematch of the 2005 NBA Finals highlights the league's television schedule released Monday.

The second game on ABC will show Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson and the Los Angeles Lakers against Shaquille O'Neal and the Miami Heat.

The NBA released its complete game schedule and national TV schedules of ABC, TNT, ESPN and NBA TV for the 2005-06 season.

The televised season begins Nov. 1 with the defending champion Spurs against the Denver Nuggets on TNT. The game includes the ring ceremony and launches a week of five consecutive nationally televised doubleheaders. In the second game, the Dallas Mavericks face the Phoenix Suns.

ESPN's coverage starts Nov. 2 with a doubleheader. The Philadelphia 76ers play at Detroit, followed by Jackson's first game back as coach in the Lakers-Nuggets game.

On Nov. 3, the Heat host the Indiana Pacers, and Jackson makes his home debut in the Phoenix Suns-Lakers matchup on TNT.

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers visit the Spurs on Nov. 4 in the opener of ESPN's doubleheader that concludes with Minnesota-Seattle.

Former Pistons coach Larry Brown returns to Detroit with the New York Knicks on Dec. 2 on ESPN.

Feb 15th---------------GO SPURS GO!!! :elephant :elephant :elephant

[cmc$purs]

Dude we got Christmas day vs the Pistons! Sweet!


not sweet i have to go to mother-in-laws :depressed
if i'm lucky i can sneak away and find the 13" b&w with tinfoil boosted antenaa
but other than that it's all good :spin

[Solid D]

Predicting wins is futile...especially in August.

[G-Nob]

Schedule makers have traditionally crammed the spurs' last month with powerhouses. Glad to see it's relatively easy down the stretch.

Pray for health. Pray for continuity.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Am I the only one who thinks being the road game Christmas day undercard to Shaq-Kobe is an insult to the defending champs?

We should be at home and playing in the marquee game that day.

Who cares?! True basketball fans will watch the game for the game.......not for the drama. Those that like that crap...let them watch the Shaq drama--that's not real basketball :)

I'm just glad the Spurs are actually playing on X-mas. I was getting tired of watching Yao every holiday.

[SWC Bonfire]

And you expected differently because....?

[sa_butta]

Ill just take a Spurs win on Christmas and call it day. I dont care what time the other game is.

[BigVee]

Where's Eddie from Austin with the format he provided last year? Anyone?

[BillsCarnage]

It's easy to predict that the Spurs will go 73-9. :)

:lmao

[HB22inSA]

8 game Rodeo Road Trip this year...
Yeah, but then home for 1, and on the road for 2 more, so they will play 10 out of 11 on the road at one point.

And also another stretch of 7 out of 9 on the road later.

And shouldn't the Champs be HOME on X-mas??

Ouch!

[ShoogarBear]

The Lakers have an road stretch that's worse than the Rodeo trip:

Jan
Sun 29 @ Detroit
Tue 31 @ New York

Feb
Wed 1 @ Indiana
Fri 3 @ Charlotte
Sat 4 @ New Orleans
Tue 7 @ Dallas
Wed 8 @ Houston

Hey Nuggets, u can try again

Check Bottom ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Gerorgio Karl wont be there

[Spurbanana]

I'm memorizing the schedule as we speak :D

They finally have a game on my bday (27 dec) and it's in SA! But, if they lose, it will ruin the rest of my life. Seriously. Are you listening Pop??

:lmao

[MaNuMaNiAc]

it might be posible that due to Manu's popularity over here in Argentina, we might be getting full coverage of the Spurs's season. Which would rock! :)

[Kori Ellis]

SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs will tip-off their 29th NBA season on Tuesday, November 1 at the SBC Center versus the Denver Nuggets.

The Spurs and Nuggets are the first game of the NBA’s Premiere Week which features five straight nights of double headers to open the 2005-06 season. As a part of Premiere Week the Spurs will also host LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, November 4.

All 82 regular season Spurs games during the 2005-06 season will be broadcast on radio in both English, on WOAI-AM 1200, and Spanish, on KCOR-AM 1350. Fox Sports Net, KENS-5 and WB35 will split the Spurs television schedule which will be announced at a later date.

The Detroit Pistons will host the Spurs in a rematch of the 2005 NBA Finals on Christmas Day to begin ABC’s national broadcast schedule. The Spurs are scheduled to play 29 games on national television including both games against the Miami Heat (12/7 and 1/20 on ESPN) and two contests versus the Phoenix Suns (1/7 on NBATV and 3/9 on TNT). The Spurs will also make a special television appearance on January 16 when they face the Memphis Grizzlies in Memphis on TNT to help the NBA commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The NBA schedule makers will test the Spurs early as they embark on a five-game road trip the second week of the season. The Spurs will face Dallas (11/5), Chicago (11/7), Charlotte (11/9), Boston (11/11) and Washington (11/12) on that first trip. The Spurs will head out on the annual “Rodeo road trip” on January 30 when they face Utah (1/30), Portland (2/1), Golden State (2/2), Toronto (2/8), New Jersey (2/10), Indiana (2/12), Cleveland (2/13) and Philadelphia (2/15). The Spurs return to the SBC Center on February 21 to face the Seattle Sonics.

[samikeyp]

I thought that they would have the 2006 WCF since they had the 2005 ECF. Don't they switch back and forth?

I don't think so. I think its on a contractual basis. I don't remember who had the 2004 WCF but I think that TNT had the 2003 WCF.

[ObiwanGinobili]

And did you see the wicked ass road trip we start the season with?! Two games at home and then they leave.

NOV
Sat 5 @ Dallas
Mon 7 @ Chicago
Wed 9 @ Charlotte
Fri 11 @ Boston
Sat 12 @ Washington

damn. thats gonna be a 5-0 road trip! :fro

[HB22inSA]

thats gonna be a 5-0 road trip!
mmmm, I say 3-2.

Losses @ Dallas and Washington.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Jan. 22nd against Denver ...
I think thats gonna be my 1st home game this coming season.....

Unless I can somehow do Nov19th against PHX.... man, that would be SWEET!

[Manu20]

I don't think so. I think its on a contractual basis. I don't remember who had the 2004 WCF but I think that TNT had the 2003 WCF.
I'm pretty sure that TNT had the 2004 WCF.

[spurschick]

it might be posible that due to Manu's popularity over here in Argentina, we might be getting full coverage of the Spurs's season. Which would rock! :)

And due to Fabricio joining the team as well! They should broadcast all the games down there.

[samikeyp]

I think Spurschick needs to be the personal liason between the Argentine media and the Spurs Argentine players. :spin

[ObiwanGinobili]

I wonder what the Spurs games ratings are for the US vs. all other countries combined??

Seeing as we have so many international players..... it's be interesting to see those stats....

[ObiwanGinobili]

I think Spurschick needs to be the personal liason between the Argentine media and the Spurs Argentine players. :spin


I think Spurschick would prefer to be the Liason between Manu Ginobili and every little thing he has to do to live. :lol :princess

[Trapt1307]

But it's in Detroit! The Spurs are the champs dammit... they should be able to play at home on Christmas.

The Pistons were the Champs last season and they played on the road Christmas day, in Indianapolis right after the brawl, of all places.

The reason the game is at the Palace is probably because the Spurs had an extra game at home during the finals, and because the Pistons were on the road for their Christmas day game last year, so they wanted to change it up a bit.

[CaptainLate]

Dude we got Christmas day vs the Pistons! Sweet!

Can you believe it? I would have "bet" the $$-grubbing Stern would have had the Knicks-Pistons playing that day fol by Flakers-Heat game. Sorry the Spurs will have their Christ-Mass day screwed up by the $$-worshipping NBA.

[CaptainLate]

8 game Rodeo Road Trip this year...

That's not too bad.

[CaptainLate]

they don't get the WC Finals but they will have playoff games from the WC.

Yes, TNT gets the WCF.

NEW YORK (Ticker) - ABC will televise 20 regular-season games - up from 18 last season - and the NBA Finals.

ESPN networks will show 70 regular-season games and carry the Eastern Conference finals with ABC.

TNT will televise 52 regular-season games and the NBA All-Star Game in Houston on Sunday, February 19 and exclusively carry the Western Conference finals.

NBA TV will show 96 regular season games

[thekingrobert]

21 televised games im lovin it since i live in miami

[CaptainLate]

George Karl is suspended I think for the first 3 games of the season so he won't be coaching that game...

The suspension should start with Game 2. Force Karl to get sick watching El Contusion, et al., get his ring and then stomp on the Nuggets again.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I can't wait for all-star voting to begin....

[CaptainLate]

[QUOTE=CaptainLate] ABC will televise 20 regular-season games - up from 18 last season - and the NBA Finals.

I hope they have Marv Albert, Walton and Tolbert do the Finals. It'd be sweet to have Stephen A. Smith doing color while the Spurs mop up on his Shaq and the Heat.

[CaptainLate]

Predicting wins is futile...especially in August.

Yeah...but it fun; and a great waste of time.

[CaptainLate]

Am I the only one who thinks being the road game Christmas day undercard to Shaq-Kobe is an insult to the defending champs?

We should be at home and playing in the marquee game that day.

Whatever!! Leaves more time in the day to celebrate the day with family as it should be celebrated.

[spurschick]

Whatever!! Leaves more time in the day to celebrate the day with family as it should be celebrated.

One shouldn't assume that everyone has family to celebrate with.

[ICE3000]

Cant wait for DEC 15Th... I love it when we play the T-wolves

[Sense]

I don't like the fact that we could be in a bad mood on holidays.....

[LilMissSPURfect]

3 tough first games, Spurs should win 65 plus games if we stay healthy

WHAT'S TO STOP THEM FROM 82-0 :angel ?

IMA BELIEVER!!!!!!!


*SHIT SOMEONE SLAP ME :smokin

[Trainwreck2100]

Considerng how after 03 title we didn't get a Christmas Day game at all it's a step up.

[NugzFan]

1st Game: Ring Ceremony in front of George Karl

[Rydia]
