So many Christmas memories of the Spurs choking.

I would pay $6.99 to watch that.

And we still win by double digits while resting our starters :king

This tbh

I bet we get something like
Bulls vs Bucks
Heat vs Cavs
Thunder vs Rockets
Warriors vs Lakers
Spurs vs Clippers

The defending champs usually play a playoff opponent don't they? I remember playing the Nuggets opening night after one of our ring ceremonies, and then Dallas last year. It doesn't always hold true but it's common.

I wouldn't mind watching these games at all, tbh. I like the matchups.

Spurs - Clippers

cavs vs gs

I had a dream that the Spurs would play in LA against the Lakers on Christmas Day, fwiw.

Should also be good fuel for our guys knowing they aren't the champs anymore.

Warriors vs Clippers make more logical sense. Spurs vs Thunder or Rockets seems more likely.

Yeah the national TV broadcasts are blacked out for league pass.

I know it's Wikipedia, but it already says that we are playing the Warriors opening night on October 27.

Well, they were for package deals. I would figure they might at least make exceptions for anyone paying $7 for a game.

The better question, who will be going to opening night at the ATT center? I have a feeling tickets prices might get a little stupid for a regular season game though will all the hype after the big offseason.

I had a dream several years ago involving Iverson in a Spurs uniform. Now it would be a nightmare tbh.

I was kidding.

Would prefer the spurs to play a crappy team on opening night so they can develop some chemistry. Playing the Warriors on opening night would suck considering that the spurs have to play some games to get comfortable playing with Aldridge.
