Spurs game against Pacers game bumped from TNT

[TXstbobcat]

The San Antonio Spurs have had another nationally televised game removed from their schedule.
According to a release from from the league (https://twitter.com/R0BaTO/status/819946193300111360), the NBA has decided to bump the San Antonio Spurs matchup with the Indiana Pacers on Feb. 13 out of the primetime slot on TNT in favor of the showdown between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Washington Wizards.
With the change, the Spurs matchup with the Pacers will now tip at 6:00 p.m. CT at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis while the Thunder and Wizards will tip at 7:00 p.m. CT from the Verizon Center in Washington D.C.

Welp. That means I can't do game grades.

[TXstbobcat]

Sorry about messing up the thread title. :lol

'Cause I'm T.N.T., I'm dynamite
(T.N.T.) and I'll win the fight
(T.N.T.) I'm a power load
(T.N.T.) watch me explode

[Robz4000]

:lol God damn they hate the Spurs

[CGD]

It's more about the shittiness of the Pacers. They suck.

[TXstbobcat]

:lol God damn they hate the Spurs

isnt this the 2nd time this year that TNT has bumped a Spurs game????

[Spurtacular]

Westbrook-Wall is hot; Kawhi-George isn't.

[silverblackfan]

Cool. Rather watch it on NBA mobile anyway.

[GSH]

Russell Westbrook against a team that OKC should beat. A chance for the announcers to crow about how "He's the best to ever play. It's a historic season. The MVP is really just a two man race." It'll be great.

[HarlemHeat37]

I wouldn't want to watch the Pacers either, tbh:lol

I feel bad for that franchise..Larry Bird is one of the worst GMs in recent history, but they can't fire him due to the backlash and rioting that would occur throughout America..

[NameLess Scrub]

Have they done Westbrook vs Harden in TNT yet?

That stat padding :wow

[John Petrucci]

Weird. I thought fans like it when Kawhi plays against George. I guess not as much as watching WB go for 40,12, and 15.

Wall vs Brook http://insidehoops.com/forum/images/smilies/rockon.gif

Because he's white? I mean, there would be riots because he's white... right?

When all you've got is a hammer, every problem looks like a skull.

[TheGreatYacht]

Can't wait to watch that OKC game! Westbrook ball hogging until it's time to rack up the double digit assists, from there his teammates will be forced to catch and shoot no matter how bad of a shot it is

Those 6 turnovers a game with high 30's/low 40's FG% :)

[Mr. Body]

Damn it, this is the second game I've lost the chance to see.

[HarlemHeat37]

Not simply because he's white:lol

He's a white American hero..only Peyton Manning's popularity in a team sport rivals Bird's among white American fans..I've had white people try to fight me several times because I said a negative word about Bird's potato-looking ass, tbh..

[TXstbobcat]

Looks like the other game was against Denver earlier this month so that TNT could show the Lakers vs. Portland.

The Spurs will be visiting the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center on Thursday next week. However, instead of tipoff taking place at 9:30 PM CT, it will now take place at 8:00 PM CT as the NBA (http://www.cbssports.com/nba) and TNT have decided to move the matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers into that time slot instead:

[HarlemHeat37]

I hate when the Spurs are on TNT anyways, tbh..I try to avoid seeing or listening to Barkley and Shaq as much as I can, it's cancer to your brain..

Everybody here knows how much I love Westbrook, but I saw a related video on my YouTube the other day that was titled: Barkley says Westbrook is most dominant player since Jordan:lol I clicked it and ya, immediate regret..

[SpurPadre]

Kawhi vs. George should be marketed as much as possible.

[Darius Bieber]

That's twice this season the Spurs are bumped, and it happened once last season too. Let's face it, the Spurs aren't popular and not a lot of people like them.

LMAO. As much as I butt heads with you over that stuff, there are white guys who cling to Larry Bird like a religious figure. I was pretty sure that there wouldn't be much of an outcry outside of Indiana over getting rid of him as GM. But thinking about what you're saying - yeah, there would be some complaining. Maybe not riots, but yeah. All I can do is laugh. There really are people who would defend his shitty GM record just because. I gotta give you this round.

[spursistan]

To be fair that Spurs/Nuggets wasn't worthy of a National TV slot :lol..

Guess big market privilege still rules, or how do you explain the shitty Lakers/Bulls are still a weekly fixture on ESPN/TNT..Chicago in particular probably plays the most hideous basketball in the league..

[Perry Mason]

I still want to say that the Spurs have had an above average number of nationally televised games this year. Is that BS though? I don't know how to easily check. Nor do I want to. ;p

[spursistan]

Spurs usually get those games back on national tv late in year in full playoff race swing...Last game vs Houston in March, for example, could get a ESPN slot..

[phxspurfan]

Yup who cares about the Pacers

[Spurtacular]

Kawhi vs. George should be marketed as much as possible.

Sux.

It's that loss against Milwaukee.

It will cost them . . .

Everything . . .

More than Golden State shitting the bed at home against the Grizzlies?

Maybe I need to master that blue text font. :)

[daslicer]

Looks like I will have to stream this game. Westbrook is a gimmick that's being over marketed for short term gain. Once he's eliminated in the first round this year that's when his hype dies down.

People always assume you're serious here, because there's so much stupid shit that isn't sarcasm.

[Mr. Body]

Apologies.

[smackdaddy11]

Middle of RRT on a back to back. TNT has no idea who Pop sits that game. I wouldn't want to broadcast it either.

They wanted to punch you because youre an annoying asshat and because youre a racist

That's if your little anecdotes are even true, because I doubt they are

[99 Problems]

Wow the Wiz over Kiwi and PG. I'm still rolling around from allstar voting returns.

Having 2015 flashbacks?

He worked out for the Spurs

[SpursDynasty]

Spurs need the old Fiesta colors from 2002 and previous back.

[gospursgojas]

Thought the story line of Spurs trading Paul George would be something TNT would want to pick up on...
