ESPN Takes Away Spurs-Knicks Game on December 10

[Darius Bieber]

ESPN is taking away the Spurs vs. Knicks game from their line up on December 10. It will be replaced by Mavs vs. Pelicans.

[Fireball]

Good work ... the Spurs play Utah the night before. ESPN tries to avoid another restgate.
Although its a home game where Pop rarely rests the Big Three at the same time.

[gameFACE]

ESPN shouldn't cancel. They could be depriving the viewing public of another Matt Bonner onslaught

[SupremeGuy]

People are finally figuring out that they shouldn't plan on the Spurs playing everyone on the second game of a b2b, even if the game is being televised nationally. Only took them 5 years.

[jag]

:lol they're punishing Pop and saving the viewing public from being subjected to Ayers getting heavy minutes.

[Captivus]

The Pelicans are getting more and more TV time, Davis is the next big thing.

[100%duncan]

Big deal

[Uriel]

Who cares.

[Biernutz]

If this is punishment from ESPN ....please more,more. Any game off ESPN is a good game....

[lmbebo]

As a fan living outside SA, not happy about that change ...

[manufan10]

It's 2014, there are other means of watching Spurs' games besides nationally televised ones.

[benstanfield]

Awesome, don't have to listen to Reggie Miller :hat

[Mikeanaro]

The Pelicans are getting more and more TV time, Davis is the next big thing.
Yet no playoffs appearances, Pelicans are only there to help Davis padding his stats.

[benefactor]

I'd rather watch Mavs/Pelicans tbh.

[Kawhi]

If the knicks were good or decent they wouldn't have replaced it

[bobcatfan4life]

Awesome, don't have to listen to Reggie Miller :hat

Reggie Miller doesn't work for ESPN.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Reggie Miller doesn't work for ESPN.

He doesn't really work for TNT either, tbh.

[UZER]

If the knicks were good or decent they wouldn't have replaced it

The Lakers suck and are on plenty of times.

[Kawhi]

The Lakers suck and are on plenty of times.

Lakers mainly play at 9:30, not many games are on at that time

[Seventyniner]

ESPN is just being obtuse.

[spurs1990]

[r0drig0lac]

this

[Leetonidas]

It's honestly because of the Knicks and not the Spurs which is funny :lol

[UZER]

True

[illusioNtEk]

:king

[Beaverfuzz]

No one wants to see the Knicks. Guess what corporate America, NYC is not the center of the universe!

[Beaverfuzz]

Awesome, don't have to listen to Reggie Miller :hat

Don't have to listen to Jim Nance either, what's your point sunshine?

[Chomag]

Those people that are saying "big deal, and who cares" Do you guy know That thats allot of lost revenue to the organization when losing national coverage, especialy for a small market team. Yes it does hurt but its just how the Spurs are and I was surprised it would start taking this long to happen. Doubt it changes Pops mindset though. :lol

[DesignatedT]

If Holt doesn't care then why should the fans.

More Bill and Sean :tu

[jag]

Doubt it changes Pops mindset though. :lol

I assure you, it doesn't.

If Pop gave a damn, he wouldn't be sitting players in the first place.

[cjw]

I don't think this is punishing the Spurs as much as realizing that America doesn't want to watch the Knicks fail at running the triangle. At least we'll have local TV to watch Kawhi frustrate the hell out of Melo.

We can have all the national coverage we want come June tbh

[spurs1990]

Saw the pelicans last night.

Davis and Anderson are solid, but Holliday, Gordon and especially Evans are hero ball brick layers and are impossible to watch.

I don't think you understand how revenue sharing works in the NBA, might want to look into it.

[BanditHiro]

good call. the Spurs will obviously be resting the majority of the team and the Knicks suck.

[PÒÓCH]

that is the better game TBH

[Sean Cagney]

Who cares............

[MI21]

Pop will play everyone in that game until it's a safe lead, the Spurs must always inflict any possible punishment upon Derek Fisher.

[Captivus]

Yet no playoffs appearances, Pelicans are only there to help Davis padding his stats.

I know. But theres no doubt the NBA wants Davis to become the new King.

[spurspokesman]

I'm in CT so i'll just watch it on MSG network. Pop sending F.U's with his restgate syndrome lol

[wildcardX]

:lol they're punishing Pop and saving the viewing public from being subjected to Ayers getting heavy minutes.

:lol

[Mr. Body]

Knicks are a complete joke. I'll get to see this game anyway since I'm in NY, but the Pels-Knicks is definitely the way to go.
