Guess the the amount of nationally televised games for spurs?

[apalisoc_9]

Last year the spurs had 13...

LAC and CLE had 3 aand 2 respectively. Least amount of games last year.

Can spurs crack 10 this year?

[dylankerouac]

14

[KobesAchilles]

I say 12. One less than last year

[Spurtacular]

If the NBA is smart, they'll foresee the marketability of Murray, White, and Walker. Not to mention former All-Stars like Muh Touches and DePression.

But if history is any indicator, I take the under on 15.5.

[sananspursfan21]

Despite their “lack of marketability”, the NBA seems to slate them for quite a few nationally televised games. I bet 12.

7's the key number here.

Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number.

7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea...

[DC23]

Most of those televised games from the Western Conference will feature the Warriors, Clippers, Lakers, Rockets, Nuggets, Jazz, and Blazers. The Spurs face these teams for a total of 28 games. So maybe 6-8 of these will be televised..?

[Chillen]

Doesn't really matter at this point it was offensive when Spurs had an all-time great trio in Duncan, Parker, Ginobili for them to have less games televised but now they have some good players and a HOF coach so like 10 would be fine.

[gambit1990]

it will not be a high amount but the spurs will end up will more than they are originally slated for.

Because the powers that be will reluctantly realize that the Spurs are relevant (just like always).

(I think this is the first post I've made from the Philippines -- they love the Spurs here.)

[spurs10]

Every game will be televised in my realm!

[spurs10]

I mean if Bill Mc can stay up in Riga until 3:00 am to see a game...wtf! Oh they'll nationally 11 games so they can see Tim Duncan.

True! My fav number and trikot number always has been 7 and this year on 7/7/19 my babygirl Frieda was born (56cm and 3710g... both dividable by 7 ^^).

Not kiddin'!

damn even worse

B-But the spurs don’t need kawhi it’s all about the CULTURE!!

GAME DAY BALA GAME DAY :lmao :lmao :lmao

I figured, because the NBA doesn't trust Pop playing his starters on these games. Pop is kind of hurting the team's revenue with his stunts if you look at it. Resting players in national TV game's platform is all starting to catch up.

Yeah, but most of the time his actions are justified. Like playing top teams after a tough week on the 2nd night of a back to back. I'm pretty sure Pop even said once it was bullshit and just a setup for the Spurs to get embarrassed.

I'm pretty sure Pop even said once it was bullshit and just a setup for the Spurs to get embarrassed. I can't argue with you on that. The League has always had a hatred for the Spurs, they (a small market team were not supposed to have dominated the early 2000nds like they did, but Pop kind of have justification the League needed to cock block the Spurs.

[Rummpd]

5 really is a low blow. On the other hand Spurs seem to lose all day games from my recall and often stink up the joint on other TV games.

[spurs10]

5 and 7 on NBA TV....which is 12 and only 1 below last season. Isn't the 13 last year including NBA TV?

[alpha_HaZE]

Well, as a Spurs fan that lives in the northwest, the NBA league pass became that much more attractive :)

[apalisoc_9]

no.

[Seventyniner]

afaik League Pass doesn't get you NBA TV games either.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Not a lot of respect for a team that hasn't missed the playoffs in over two decades and is supposedly the model franchise in all of U.S. pro sports.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

How does this rank against other teams? I heard the Lakers (no shock) again lead the league with something like 31 or 32 nationally televised games. The disparity seems really unfair. Successful, small-market team doesn't get nationally televised games...then when merchandise sales are low for the Spurs the league will say the team is just not that popular. Seems like prior year playoff teams should be entitled to a certain number of nationally televised games as a reward for being successful. The league is hurting the marketing potential of the franchise, and ultimately the profitability of the team by shunning them.

The NBA sucks ass these days.

[Genovaswitness]

should’ve worked harder to keep kawhi tbh. in all honesty we should get all of Portland’s games that team is ass

Full breakdown below, comparing '18-'19 with '19-'20. If you include National TV appearances + NBATV appearances, Spurs are tied for 12th most along with the Pacers and Thunder.

Interesting. Thanks Dex! :tu The Raptors rank 14th in total number of nationally televised games as the defending champs. Nets go from 6 games to 20, Clippers go from 17 to 38. Spurs nationally televised games get cut in half. We have the same number of nationally televised games as the Pacers and Thunder. I guess we know where we're classified per the NBA. Zion gets the Pelicans up to 30 nationally televised games for a team that hasn't done sh!t...ever.

Zion about to be the biggest bust in NBA history. If you struggle with weight issues at age 19 then that doesn’t bode well for him at all, especially down in New Orleans. He’s gonna be eating all kinds of bad food. Dudes gonna look like Zach Randolph 2.0

to be fair, he's far more athletic than randolph ever was but zach was still quite a scorer. i'm not sure what to expect from zion. he really could be the promised land, or a false prophet.

I think he will be alright, but the league is blowing him up like the 2nd coming of LeBron. I just don't see it.

It's very possible that he takes some time to get up to NBA speed, the Hornets are just a poor-to-average team, and the networks will be stuck showing them for 30 national games. But they won't care because he may get a few flashy dunks in that time.

Zion's playing style reminds me a little of when Larry Johnson was coming out of UNLV. Zion's a little taller, and a lot heavier, but they were similar style athletes.
