we only get blazers 3 times this year

and get the mavs early to put them in there place
but dont get LA until January
like the schedule besides the 3 game stretch vs boston,LA and CLevland
and the rodeo roadtrip is probably the toughest in year but spurs should have chemistry down by then

I guess Bruce will be in Milwaukee for Christmas.
so when does individual game tickets go on sale?
that was my second though. That and the new orleans game. That's as far as I've gotten so far.
Wow did you do that yourself? :O
14 of the first 20 games at home? The Spurs will need to get off to a fast start this year. They need to take advantage of that.
The NBA's Christmas gift to the Spurs is a game in Milwaukee on the 26th followed by a game in New York the next day that starts two and a half hours earlier? That looks like it'll end up being the annual loss in Milwaukee and then Pop tanking against the Knicks.
The Rodeo Road Trip looks doable. The Spurs are at home from Jan. 19 all the way until Feb. 2. The RRT only has one back-to-back and the travel is pretty damn minimal. Can't complain about it.
The end of the schedule looks mean. 24 of the last 36 games are on the road. The Spurs don't have a homestand longer than two games after Feb. 1. And they only have two two-game homestands
Overall, this schedule could work out nicely but it requires the Spurs to start strong. They can't start slowly like usual and then try to go on a tear at the end because there are too many road games packed into not enough days. Best scenario is the Spurs get all the kinks worked out early on, rack up wins and then turn on the playoff mode starting with the RRT and going through the end of the season. Considering that they will barely be able to unpack after the RRT (and I don't see where there will be many practices), the momentum needs to be flowing in a positive direction or else it could be a crash landing.
How much does league pass cost?
Hopefully I can attend the Spurs @ knicks game!
I hope you are wrong timvp... i wanna see em win
I'm going to the November 9th game for obvious reasons.
i'll try to go to my 1st spurs game (december 27th at NY)

yeah more pressure to win early this year
kind of sucks
but atleast spurs are at home
crowd needs to get behind them
hopefully everyone is healthy to start the season
Actually, the first TNT games are on Tuesday night of that week. Oct 27th Boston @ Cleveland, Clippers @ Lakers.
Is there a pre-season shedule that has been released?
When is the first day of camp?
Good, let the players spend this year with their family. We certainly got a nice enough gift last year.Open at home, good.
No Christmas day game
Chalk up the Cleveland visit to San Antonio on March 26th as a loss... 4th game in 5 nights (after a game with the Lakers no less)... followed thereafter by a trip to Boston on the 28th....
Thanks, deck. Great breakdown.
Not too many difficult B2Bs. The worst is probably the Utah/Portland job, but all the others contain some relatively easy opponents.
The stretch run this year is going to be intense.
we fared well in back to backs compared to the rest of the league
The NBA was nice enough to provide this breakdown of how many pairs of back-to-back games each team has.
- Charlotte Bobcats 23
- Chicago Bulls 23
- Detroit Pistons 23
- Atlanta Hawks 22
- Indiana Pacers 22
- Houston Rockets 22
- L.A. Clippers 22
- Denver Nuggets 22
- Milwaukee Bucks 22
- Toronto Raptors 21
- New Jersey Nets 21
- Washington Wizards 21
- Philadelphia 76ers 20
- Memphis Grizzlies 20
- L.A. Lakers 20
- Golden State Warriors20
- Sacramento Kings 20
- Minnesota Timberwolves 20
- Dallas Mavericks 20
- Phoenix Suns 20
- Orlando Magic 19
- Utah Jazz 19
- Portland Trail Blazers 19
- New York Knicks 18
- Boston Celtics 18
- Miami Heat 18
- Cleveland Cavaliers 18
- Oklahoma City Thunder 18
- San Antonio Spurs 17
- New Orleans Hornets 16
59 and 23 and 2nd in West to LAL (62 and 20) is about right with that schedule.
What's the link for this, out of curiosity? (Edit: Found it. http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/...-Schedule.html )
I have a feeling this is going to be a major point of contention for the players union in new CBA negotiations. If the players can get fewer back-to-backs, I'm all for it.

Ooo, how about this one? First game against Memphis is the second night of a back-to-back. Can you say extended minutes for DeJuan Blair vs. Hasheem Thabeet?
