The league enjoyed the results of last year's playoffs so much that they wanted to have it repeated.
Chances are looking good that I might be there as well. That would be AWESOME!
The league enjoyed the results of last year's playoffs so much that they wanted to have it repeated.
The league is mentioning us, we've got 2 pics in the top games to watch photo section. Two out of 15. Not bad.
What is bad is the way that the league's website begins the season with the following gem about the Spurs and Suns:
Remember that double-overtime classic between the Suns and Spurs during the opening weekend of last season's playoffs? Is it too much for a basketball fan to ask for Tim Duncan to hit a clutch, late-game 3-pointer again? Both of these teams are aging and it will be worth watching to see if the window is closing on their championship contention.
But I'm used to that kind of attention FWD. It's the positive press that surprises me.
They also have a nightmare before Christmas!Lakers have 25
Awww, not only have the Spurs ruined Suns and Suns fan's summers.
Now it will stretch to Christmas day.
It'll be a loss though, Duncan and others don't have that pep in the step on Christmas day.
Can't say I blame em. Playing on Christmas day is BS and bogus.
Spurs will give them hope in regular season, Suns will win 3 of the 4 games...
Then the playoffs...oops, Spurs will do it again !
yup. the SUNS always wins the regular season but our spurs just love to kick your dumb ass team in the playoffs

Spurs will open season against Suns
Jeff McDonald
The NBA released its league-wide schedule Wednesday, unveiling a Spurs slate that features a season-opening visit from the Phoenix Suns on Oct. 29, a rematch in the desert on Christmas Day and what should be a tenderizing midseason stretch in which they will play 17 of 23 games away from home.
Shaquille O'Neal and Steve Nash will come to the AT&T Center to help the Spurs open their 2008-09 season in October. Chris Paul and David West will be on hand for the season finale in April.
In between, it should be a wild ride for the Spurs, replete with the usual doses of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Tracy McGrady and Kevin Garnett.
The Spurs close the season with an April 15 home game against the defending Southwestern Division New Orleans Hornets, a tilt that could be decisive in this year's race as well.
Other keynote games include:
• A Jan. 14 visit from Bryant, the league's reigning MVP, and the Lakers, the team that doused the Spurs' hopes of repeating as NBA champions in last season's Western Conference finals. Eleven days later, on Jan. 25, the Spurs face the Lakers in Los Angeles for the first time since their Game 5 loss in the conference finals.
• A Feb. 8 game at Boston, which will mark the first matchup of the year between the league's past two champions. The Celtics return the favor with a March 20 game at the AT&T Center.
• James comes to town with his Cleveland Cavaliers on Feb. 27, the last of only three home games the Spurs will play in February. It is part of a stretch in which the Spurs will spend all but six of 23 games away from the AT&T Center, a span of wanderlust that begins with a Jan. 16 game at new-look Philadelphia and concludes March 4 at intrastate rival Dallas.
• The Spurs' annual rodeo road trip is an eight-gamer this season, starting on one coast and ending on the other. It opens Feb. 2 at Golden State, after which the Spurs play at Denver, Boston, New Jersey, Toronto, New York and Detroit, before closing Feb. 21 at Washington.
lottery bound.
I'm glad and sad at the same time
the Spurs vs Suns on Christmas is
but, I was looking forward to a Spurs vs Celtics opener the next season, imagining how it will be inspiring for us to face the 2008 Champions and beat them on their ring ceremony.
Kind of like the idea of seeing Ray Allen's special night w/ a sour face, you know
i had a feeling the Spurs first game would be against the Suns. honestly this is a tough schedule. i guess Stern really wants us out of the playoffs, but it won't work. Sorry Stern!
