I guess I won't be watching the Spurs this year except when I'm at state line betting on them; not unless I get team pass.

[FkLA]

Jesus, you'd think they'd have a little more respect for the winningest franchise in NBA history. Is that the lowest in the league?

[Spurtacular]

I didn't even think only two national games was possible. Is there any team with less? Man, the disrespect is off the charts.

OKC gonna suck bro. Lakers will be injured by then. Clips we will shred bc they have Kawhi

I corrected it to 5.

Only five more than the Austin Spurs.... just about there.

I think NBA marketing is behind the curve on this one. Spurs have a good young core (and two proven marketable players with LMA and DeRozan). I bet a lot of games are picked up on NBA TV as they desperately try to make up for it.

[look_at_g_shred]

Who cares about being on national tv anyway. Don't the spurs have a losing record when they are on TNT or something like that.

They'll probably do the fan vote for NBA TV games again so we get stuck watching big market teams.

[lefty20]

Kinda happy about the low national tv games, means more value for the League Pass. Blackouts are annoying AF.

When you live out-of-market or out-of-state and you don't have league pass, you kind of do care.

[BatManu20]

Nationally televised games.


Nov. 22 at Philly (ESPN), Feb. 26 vs. Dallas (ESPN), March 10 vs. Dallas (TNT), March 24 at Utah (TNT), April 8 at Houston (ESPN).

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

I’m surprised we have only 5 nationally televised games. Like stated earlier the Rodeo Road Trip is gonna be hella tough. Smh.

[SpurPadre]

Load Management gets to be booed out of the fucking building early this season! Surprised that game didn't make it to national television.

[Dex]

RRT is brutal this season.


Yeesh...don't even get any of those Eastern Conference cupcakes. That is one hell of a stretch.

[SASdynasty!]

Anyone know when they will announce which game is the Parker jersey retirement? I can’t remember when in the season they announced Manu’s...

[Dex]

Jesus Christ, they also have another 5-game road stretch later in the year, also against all West teams.

Only 10 total back-to-backs, below the league average...but 14/20 matches are on the road.

Back-to-Backs:

10/31 - @ Clippers
11/1 - @ Warriors

11/15 - @Orlando
11/16 - Portland

11/22 - @ Philly
11/23 - @ New York

1/26 - Toronto
1/26 - @ Chicago

2/3 - @ Clippers
2/4 - @ Lakers

3/2 - @ Indiana
3/3 - @ Charlotte

3/13 - Denver
3/14 - Minnesota

3/26 - @ Minnesota
3/27 - @ Denver

4/7 - Sacramento
4/8 - @ Houston

4/12 - Houston
4/13 - @ Indiana

They announced Manu's on October 30th last year

[Holden_Caulfield]

damn no respect for the demar & LA core :lol

[Dex]

Spurs 9th in miles traveled.

How the hell are we in the middle of the country and still end up traveling more than the Lakers, Clippers, or Warriors?

[LongtimeSpursFan]

When I first saw schedule thought for sure that Oct 31 game against LAC would be on TNT

[DPG21920]

Spurs look like they got boned at first glance. Tons of road games 2nd half of the year, lot’s of that vs West teams and only one stretch of home games with 4 in a row (other than that, no long home stretch) all season despite 4 stretches of 4 games in a row on the road in the season?

[sasaint]

When you live out-of-market or out-of-state and you don't have league pass, you kind of do care.

Sorry for you, man. I doubt I would watch half their games if I couldn’t get Sean and Bill.

Full court screw-the-Spurs time.

well the clippers dont have to travel much for 12 of their games.

They don't seem to mind. It's practically become a part of their brand at this point . . . that and being completely irrelevant.

Given their continuity, depth and early schedule, they'll probably get off to a quick start, which will give the media their latest chance to pretend "Pop has done it again", when they cue up the 5 minutes of mid season attention this team will receive before crashing back down to earth.

[Dex]

Fair enough...meanwhile, Spurs have to travel like 500 miles just to get out of Texas.

[Keepin' it real]

Uh, spurs fans outside the San Antonio area.

https://i.imgur.com/V3sUQV5.png

We're far from clusters of teams which is far more beneficial. The Lakers literally have several road games where the travel is zero, for instance. They probably group their travel to the NE way more than we do as well.

Will always have more road games in 2nd half of the year due to RRT

[MannyIsGod]

The bottom line is that with the West as stacked as it is, there will simply be a ton of stretches that are very very tough. The NBA has to do something about the conferences being so uneven. There will be 3 or 4 teams in the west who don't make the playoffs and are better than everyone but a handful of East teams.

Its gonna be brutal this year. I mean, thats probably why they made the start times earlier. So much of the NBA's talent is out west they have to make sure people on the East Coast get to watch the games more.

[urunobili]

With TD on the bench I’m considering league pass...

[DPG21920]

Will always have more road games in 2nd half of the year due to RRT

It’s not the number, it’s how many are in a row for long stretches. You would think you would see equally long home stretches but you don’t. It’s only 2 home, then multiple away pretty much the entire season.

Like I said, the longest home streak is 4 games and that is only once all year. Compared to 4 times where there are 4 away games in a row.

Not to mention, how difficult the 2nd half is compared to the first half. If Spurs don’t come out strong first half of the season they playoffs are in big trouble.

[KobesAchilles]

Forged by fire. I like it. A real test of leadership for Demar (god save us) and for Dejounte as well. I think he will bridge the younger generation with the older one. This team will go through hell to make the playoffs and that will only make us that much stronger. We will be a team to reckon with... or a team that completely falls apart bc of the seriously brutal schedule. Either or :lol

[timtonymanu]

I’m personally fine with the lack of televised games. The less I have to hear of CWebb, Reggie etc going on their anti spurs nonsense, the better. And just the unintelligent broadcasting crew (ESPN, TNT, ABC) in general.

Brutal ass schedule though. Gonna be a year where Pop has to rely more on Samanic, KJ, weatherspoon to play and not give them the complete Austin treatment.

Not even a big deal these days, tbh.

No, they'll get the treatment.

[John B]

Better value on the NBA League Pass. Also Spurs always have been under the radar. Is it something new? I like our chances and better for our young core not to be over televised and get easily scouted. By mid-season Spurs would’ve won more games and catch the league by surprise. Less exposure works for Spurs’ low profile tbh.

[RC_Drunkford]

the only thing I like about this is the start of the season. We get both LA teams and the Dubs early. They don't know how to play together yet and it will take some games for them to figure it out, hope Spurs take advantage of that and start strong. That will be key

[Genovaswitness]

damn no respect for the demar & LA core :lol

its a dogshit loser cuckold “core”

:lmao fade away 2s
:lmao :lmao IN 2020!!

[ZeusWillJudge]

Orlando-Portland on a B2B? Seriously? Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? The farthest southeast to the farthest northwest. There's no way that was necessary to make the overall schedule work.

Sacramento-Houston isn't much better. They always put those west coast games on late, to accomodate the Cali fans, so the first night will end at the latest possible time. Then they board the plane super-late, cross two time zones (earlier), and the Rockets game will probably start at 6:30 CST.

Both of those things should be parameters that aren't allowed in the scheduling, ever.

[ismael-robert]

People really think nationally televised games is all opposing teams have to scout? They probably get access to a database.
This schedule was NBA's reply to Spurs being on cusp of setting playoff appearances record this year...nope

[Drom John]

Trailblazer game is in San Antonio.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Is there a way to check how much the tickets are before they go on sale tomorrow?

[Arcadian]

When you live out-of-market or out-of-state and you don't have league pass, you kind of do care.

If you're only watching nationally televised games, how much of a fan are you really?

I was a broke grad student and still signed up for League Pass without hesitation. (Granted, that was from 2012-17 when they were title contenders...but I think I'd still do it today.)

[BatManu20]

Have to take unforeseen injuries into account as well. There will inevitably be some in the West this season, with players not being able to rest as much since the conference is so stacked.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Trailblazer game is in San Antonio.


So it is. Too hard to read on small phone screen. Thanks for the correction.

The rest of the schedule looks pretty normal, TBH. The RRT is a bitch - lots of tough teams on the road. But for the most part, it looks like every schedule every year. A couple more away games in the second half of the season, but not unreasonable.
