How many nationally televised games do the Spurs normally get on average?
Seems like a very solid number though :tu
IMO, not enoughQuote:

I think that is a testament to how good the Spurs have been, the fact that they are still contenders, and then having the international appeal with Tony and Manu always helps aswell.
Oh yeah and the number of nationally televised games was posted in an older thread correlating with the new schedules coming out. So if you go back a few pages you might find it.
20 of the games are on ESPN, ABC and TNT. 7 of the games are on NBATV, which some cable companies (like Suddenlink, my worthless provider) don't even offer. That means at least 7 trips to Buffalo Wild's this year for me.

i don't like that orlando has more national games....but whatever.

Well they are the defending Eastern Conference champions, and probably because of the Vince Carter-Dwight Howard duo.Quote:

I think Bulls and Bobcats have 23 back to backs. Poor Derrick Rose.Quote:

I'm loving the 17 back 2 backs. Big fan.
this is good news for the spurs but i hate the national nba analyst that they have.

looks like pop sitting tim on those nationally televised games got the message though

I agree, but just like every year, the teams that end up in the finals always seem to get a ton of national recognition.Quote:

Not bad at all.

I count 16 back-to-backs.
16 is better than 17. That's what I got too. I wonder how many others are wrong on the charts.Quote:
