LOL : Spurs Get Booted From X-Mas Day Game NBA Replaces Them With Lakers

[Koolaid_Man]

:lmao

Not even Aldridge could help them misfits....

Lakers vs. Clips..
GSW vs. Cavs
Pelicans vs Heat

[Reck]

This was done to help the ratings from a Lakers perspective. Even the beaneRs are quitting watching the games.

[Silver&Black]

:bobo Good luck with those ping pong balls Kool

You gotta take it easy with the porn kool..You might be watching a little bit too much.

[daslicer]

Dumb decision by the league none of these games are really entertaining matchups. Clips vs Lakers will be another 50 point blowout massacre that will go the Clippers way. Clips vs Spurs would have been much more entertaining from a competitive standpoint.

It is an odd selection of games. Cavs/Warriors obviously makes sense. I'm not sure what they are thinking with the other two though. Miami/NO is really random.

Its really weird you would think they would have tried to have good matchups instead of the crap they picked out.

Something like
Houston/Spurs
Clips/Warriors
Cavs/Bulls

Lots of big markets and decent games.

[Silver&Black]

I thought they always had like 5 games on x-mas....

Did they lower the # to 3 this year?

Yes that was what I was thinking and even including the Thunder considering they are an elite team when Durant is healthy.

[Kool Bob Love]

Spurs@portland. The return.

[hater]

Given that only losers watch NBA on chrismass.no wonder the Lakers are playing :lmao

[UZER]

Spurs Clippers would've been good. More than likely pop called and said no Christmas day games.

[Reck]

Also, just checked Spurs record on Christmas day games. They blow. So they're saving themselves a loss right there. :lol

Yea, I went to the christmas day game 2 years ago against the Rockets. We got a beat down and there were annoying Rockets fans by me. Was still a nice thing to do on Christmas though.

[99 Problems]

Something for Lakers instead of playoffs I suppose.

[Sean Cagney]

Good, hate watching those games anyways.... Spurs seem to mail it in when they play on Christmas day except when they played the Suns that one year and Mason hit the game winner :lol

[KaiRMD1]

I wouldn't be surprised if Spurs Front office said they didn't want any christmas games. Not a lot of athletes like to play on Christmas ........ unless they are losers without family ..... old sport

I can't wait to watch some shitty brand of basketball on Christmas.

I was up your way all week Dale. Hot as fuck. How do you stand it?

[~O~]

The only team worth watching there is the golden state warriors.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Meh, it's honestly not that important, I'll watch the CLE/GSW game of course but not having so much basketball means more time to eat turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, chocolates and drink eggnog honestly. (I'm 5'8" 120 & have a blistering metabolism)

Scheduling the Lakers on Christmas day is pretty much a mandatory annual tradition, similar to the Lions on Thanksgiving. The Lakers have played on 16 Christmases in a row, with their last off Christmas coming during the 1998-99 lockout. I'm not surprised they maintained the tradition.

Spurs bring down NBA neilson ratings..BIG-TIME...i did a thread on this a couple yes ago....Spurs might win a chip here and there but they suck ass..no one wants to watch thrm play...they're bad for NBA business...that's not hyperbole thats fact....

I think that, for an organization as high profile and enriched history as the Lakers missing the playoffs twice in two years (maybe 3) is worse.

Spurs may not be as high profile but you can't say they're bad for the NBA. They are in fact a pillar of consistency and every team looks to them as in example of who they want to be. Not even you can deny that.

To put it simply, Spurs stock value has been up these past few years while the Lakers are basement level type low.

Kobe by himself his worth more than the Spurs organization..Kobe is a global brand the Spurs are US based only....so your stock is on the rise but compared to the Lakers it dont mean shit bro....your stock now is where our stock was back in 1995. The year before Shaq and Kobe..real talk....you guys are bad for business and you hurt NBA ratings...the Spurs literaly have the lowest rated finals of all teams....if it wasnt for Lebron playing against you guys it would be lime 3.2 nelison rating....thats on par with pro wrestling brah.... :lmao

Yet the Spurs will be in the playoffs next year and the Lakers will be at home shining shoes. Funny how that works.

Good, let the players be home with their families.

Your arguements are so fucking weak. Fucking at least try.

Talking ratings isn't exactly going to help you any. It is a FACT that the NBA as a whole has been on a downward spiral in the ratings.

Ratings for NBA games have been dropping every year since the mid 90s and are now on record low numbers. FACT.

Even fucking NASCAR is more popular these days. :lmao

[pgardn]

News flash.

LA has a larger viewing audience than SA.

[z0sa]

Nigga excited bout being relevant in the ratings when he ain't relevant in the standings :lol

[maverick1948]

Where did the info on who plays on Christmas come from??? NOT on NBA.com that I can find.

[Mal]

I wonder what are the odds for Kirby being shutdown for season before Xmas

[DMC]

I wonder what are the odds for Kirby being shutdown for season before Xmas
I'd say pretty high. If he cannot "get going" they are going to try to save him from himself and "undisclosed injury he's been playing through" will surface and the team doc will have a gun put to his head to say "hang it up for the season". Then he'll be all twitter and instagram all season about how shitty his team is.

[Banzai]

In all honest..who fucking cares? Hype over what? Lakers probably going to get their ass torn by the Truth... smashed by DJ...and penetrated by CP3..followed by some raping by BG

If that happens, watch this thread die off. Lakers fans will bury it buy opening non sensical babling bullshit threads. It's what they do when they're wrong.

Factor in the 10 games the Spurs have on NBA TV and it comes out to 31 games which is pretty good.

[Spurtacular]

On a surface level, I respect the league for scheduling the games that are getting them the best ratings. This isn't an indictment of the Spurs. This is a commentary on the average dumbass NBA fan, tbh.

Yup. It's the Karma I was discussing with him. Spurs were set to not play on Christmas, then Kool started in with his bad Karma and it blew up in his face. SA having more nationally televised games than Lakers?! That's all on Kool. Unless he stops posting on here, Lakers are in a really bad spot.

Disagree

NBA should have put the Spurs @ Blazers and Clippers @ Mavericks on Christmas instead of bundling those 2 "popcorn games" on a random Wednesday night in November. I have mainframe 2 class that wednesday evening from 5-6:20, but I might leave class early just to watch deandre get introduced (I go to UNT with 80% Mavs fans)

[Axegrinder]

OP in danger of having as many posts blow up in his face as random dudes nuts

I already said in another thread that Clips@Mavs should've been Opening Night or Christmas Day. But my point is that if the Spurs don't have the mass appeal to be playing in one of the two ABC slots, then that's how it goes. The kids want their celebrity players; not great teams.

[daslicer]

:lol yes, put the tv ratings cancer Lakers in 19 national tv spots. that'll help revenue come pouring in :lmao

If Kobe is playing I view the Lakers as a live traveling comedy sitcom. I think the NBA is banking on the viewership of the hardcore Kobe fans along with Kobe haters to get ratings.
