All other TNT games are "TNT NBA Thursday" where Stein shuts down all other NBA games so only TNT is showing NBA on Thu.

this is very simple. Shaq and Kobe are facing each other. They do this twice every year. First time, everybody can watch it. Second time, it's exclusively on tnt.

It's not a thursday, but that doesn't matter cuz of the kobe shaq factor.
And they always show 2 games, and considering the Spurs game is the only game on at 8'clock eastern time, no choice but to show the spurs.

I'll bet it's because it's MLK day. Never heard of Monday TNT otherwise.

Happy Holidays! This is a rare event in Victoria to be able to watch a TNT spurs game.

Woohoo! I get to watch my boys tonight, what a treat!

Speaking of watching the Spurs, does anyone have any clue when the NBA League Pass price will go down? I don't want to pay full price for roughly half a season, but it looks like I will be stuck up here in Jersey till at least the first round of the playoffs, and I don't want to miss the rest of the season.

I bet the half-price won't come into effect until 1 March, IIRC.
I think I remember noting last year that it was half-price but for less that half a season. :(

(I've got full-season at pre-season discount)

Haven't the Spurs lost every single game on national TV this season?

And BADLY? Blown out by Mavs, and by Pistons 2x.

Thanks for the info, boutons!

Since I have NBA TV and the Spurs are sometimes the featured nightly game, I may decide not to give my money to the cheap bastages for League Pass. Not really sure yet. I was in SA at the start of the season so didn't need to buy the entire package.

Oh, and yes, the Spurs tend to embarass themselves on national television at least 3x a year it seems. I remember being at a game on a Silver Saturday that was nationally televised- the 76ers sans AI, and Spurs got spanked. It was brutal, Timmy's missed FT's weren't even close, the loudest cheer the whole afternoon was when he actually made one. It was brutal, the crowd was never in it and I am sure it looked worse on TV.

"Luckily not playing the Pistons or the Mavs."

Unluckily, we are playing the Grizz @MEM.
Grizz have 4th best L record in NBA, tied with Suns at 12 losses.

If the Spurs play like they did Sat night @at&t, I don't like their chances @Fedex. Spurs will really have to step it up to get a W tonight.

I hope Tony is over whatever his problem was Sat night.

This kind of sucks because I'm compelled to watch this, but I want to play basketball. Fuck. Hard decision.

With Kobe and Shaq playing tonight, does that make this another JV game? :lol The nice thing is that Charles will set the record straight that the first game will be the better one in terms of talent.

this will be the better of the two since most folks i believe are tierd of hearing of Shaq and Kobe love spat...
