Over/under on whether the Spurs get to play Toronto on Christmas Day?

[ace3g]

DeRozan spoke with Sportsnet 650 Vancouver (https://www.sportsnet.ca/basketball/nba/) about his first visit back to face his former team, and already has the date etched into his memory.


“I know the date. The date is in my head,” DeRozan said. “It’s definitely going to be one of those moments when, walking into the visitor’s locker room, going in a different way, seeing all the people that you’ve known over the years. It’ll definitely be different.”

Over/under on whether the Spurs get to play Toronto on Christmas Day?
I hope they do, assume it would be in San Antonio. If so I will definitely be in attendance. Been a few years since I've been to a Christmas day game. Believe the last one was when we played the Rockets on Christmas day, think that may have been 2014 actually.

[SpursDynasty85]

Sigh. Why do I have this feeling Spurs will only get opening night game. Rockets, LA, GSW, Sixers will probably have a game. Maybe Milwaukee and Utah. Raptors vs Spurs would be a juicy match up too.

[SpursFamo]

Spurs/Raptors game is a Christmas game no doubt.

[hooperflash]

I wonder if Spurs will announce new uniforms

[spurs1990]

Question is what's the juicier storyline between DeRozan going home to Toronto or Leonard coming to SA.

Clearly the more hostile reaction will be the latter which makes me think the league would rather showcase the applause that DeRozan gets in Toronto.

Idk. A lot of people might be satisfied to see Kawhi get massively booed. Plus no offense to DeRozan but only Raptors fans probably thought of DeRozan as a true superstar.

A vintage dose of Celtics/Sixers, Giannis and the Bucks at MSG against the Knicks and (you guessed it) LeBron's Lakers in Oakland to face the Warriors are the highlights of the NBA's Christmas Day schedule that will be announced Wednesday afternoon, league sources tell @NYTSports (https://twitter.com/NYTSports/)

The last two games should involve Rockets for sure. If it was my choice: Rockets vs Utah, Spurs vs Toronto.

Portland Trail Blazers will face the Utah Jazz on the road in one of the five Christmas Day games, league sources tell ESPN.

[LCM]

According to Jabari Young's sources, Spurs won't be playing on Christmas. I have a feeling that the Spurs will be in the top 5 of franchises with the least amount of nationally televised games next year. ESPN, ABC, and TNT don't want them on the schedule.

[cd98]

League got sick of Spurs/Kawhi/trade drama.

And that checks off Donavan Mitchell and Rubio against Lillard and McCollum.

No fucking way the NBA skips the opportunity to monopolize on Kawhi vs Spurs. Mark it down.

Opening night most likely.

Yea but Christmas day games are the biggest regular season games and it looks like they skipped the Spurs again. Oh wells. I'm sure the Spurs and staff are happy they get Christmas off lol.

[davi78239]

Spurs just boring to the league. Face it. They want them to miss the playoffs and be irrelevant so badly. They've been waiting for this a very long time. That's the feeling I get.

Elo bet that Spurs make the playoffs?

if they make playoffs you follow the Pinoy faggot to the raptors forum, if they miss the playoffs I’ll leave.

i bet you won’t take this bet though. You don’t believe the shit you spew, how far you have fallen u shitty fucking troll :lol

[Kirbyk10]

I didn’t make a bet on playoffs but I did do a future for us to win the championship....Go Spurs!

That's probably best. Get a quiet start with as little attention as possible so guys get acclimated together with fewer distractions.

Spurs will not be on national tv schedule for opening weekend, Christmas Day, or MLK. Many of the same teams will be televised over and over again! Read in the article in the Express news of how the league consults with their television partners like ESPN in the construction of the line ups of who plays on these special basketball highlighted days. They have the Suns Vs Mavs matchup televised! Ayton and Doncic are more interesting than Toronto vs Spurs??

but but but what about when we have a better record than the media darling Lakers and Thunder at the end of the season??? The more things change the more things stay the same.

So the Clippers, Pelicans, Bucks, Knicks, Grizzles, and Trailblazers are more interesting ... explain how they are interesting besides basketball talking heads counting the days they can do a countdown watch of Anthony Davis or Giannis being traded to Lakers, Knicks, Bulls, Celtics, or Sixers?

[TimDunkem]

but but but what about when we have a better record than the media darling Lakers and Thunder at the end of the season??? The more things change the more things stay the same.

They'll still be less exciting regardless of records. Mid-range shooting teams led by LMA playing in an arena that rarely gets loud anymore isn't interesting to anyone but us. Sorry.

everyone knows you are one of the biggest attention whores on this forum but i suppose that is your goal

Spurs shafted on both opening night and Christmas. Suns, Bucks and Clippers getting more love.

I didn't expect the Spurs get a Christmas game but I really thought they would get at least one opening night, some Raptors-Spurs for the morbo...

Toronto had two games on National TV the first week, vs Boston and Wizards.

I get why vs Boston but Wizards??? Why not the Spurs?????? Can't believe it. Ridiculous

Spurs not on national television? Fine by me. I've got Foxsports. Maybe this will let them have one of those under the radar seasons where we end up as a top 2 seed in the west.

For real. We would've gotten 3rd seed last year if we had a couple less TNT games.

Conspiracy man. Every real analyst will tell you the 43.5 wjns Vegas put on the Spurs to was way too low but now the NBA FO has an excuse to not out them on television anymore. Wow. I might need to buy League Pass now.

There are plenty of other ways to catch games online, both real-time and replays.

I cut cable last year, and still was able to watch pretty much every game.

I don’t put using another’s TV signal in contravention if IP laws (and maybe a contract) as stealing, nor does the law, but I agree that it’s a tricky matter. In a more just world the IP laws would not be so broad and content owners would be responsible for using agreements and traditional enforcement mechanisms for their content, instead of the current subsidized system.

To to do it legally from Houston, as I (mostly) do, a combination of Sling plus League Pass should get you there. I also have no cable and haven’t had it since 2005.

Kawhi's so terrible to listen to. Amazing player when healthy, but fucking terrible to talk to or listen to. Now that he's not on the Spurs, I can be more objective in regard to the way he's acting and the type of person he seems to have now become.

I'll probably still watch him to start the season because as a Basketball player, I still think his game is great.

[wildbill2u]

I live 300 miles from SA but FXSW won't show a spurs game here if it is on their schedule elsewhere or something. Totally useless to me.
