ing figures! I want to play on Christmas dammit!
The Miami Heat will be getting their 2013 NBA championship rings in front of the Chicago Bulls. Their fans then will get to enjoy their Christmas dinner watching the Heat from afar, against the Los Angeles Lakers.
At least that's the preliminary word based on the nearly completed draft of the 2013-14 NBA schedule sent this week to teams and league broadcast partners, the Sun Sentinel has learned.

Lame.
Who's really surprised about this.... The league would take a crappy LA team on Christmas any day of the week vs. the Spurs as the marquis game. Who knows, maybe we'll play the late game in Golden State since that was an exciting series.
Stern/Silver! We were the Finals runner-ups. We supposed to get that Christmas rematch-up against the Heat. the ratings!!!!
It will be a blowout game...
The Spurs get to stay home with their families, I think they would be glad for that.
Lol, Lakers bout to get blown the fuk out on national tv. Sounds good to me.
The Lakers on Christmas has become the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. It doesnt matter if they are good or bad. i already expect it.
This is one reason I hate the NBA. Money-driven league.
Did WOJ confirm this? I won't believe it until WOJ reports it
Heat/Lakers? You'd get a better game out of of the Pelicans than the Lakers. Who the wants to see a ty team that will most likely be below .500 play the best team in basketball on Christmas?
Also, the league will never get its Kobe v Lebron dream finals match up, so they have to manufacture these hyped games.
On one hand I understand the leagues mindset knowing how Pop has sat starters for any number of reasons. Vindictive or cautionary, we can trace the reasoning.
Plus it wouldn't be Christmas without heat lakers...going on 10 straight years I'd wager.
Eh, Spurs get to be with there family during the holidays and that's more important.. This should be great though to see the Lakers fall apart.
Just because Spurs aren't playing the Heat doesn't mean they will be getting Xmas off.
They just as likely could be playing the Rockets or Warriors or something.
Anyone who was expecting any different is delusional.
The Lakers could easily be something like 5-15 at that point.
Wow. What bull . The main Christmas Day game is supposed to match up the two previous Finals participants. This is a complete cop out by the NBA. They went for the money/ratings grab all the way. This makes me sick. Seriously.
We should be more angry at these continued slights. Most of you just want to let it go and say we don't care, etc. Well I'm sick of doing that. I wish there was a way we Spurs fans could get back at the NBA for continuing to slight us like this. Like being ing fined for resting our players after having to play like 4 games in 5 nights last year. This is so ridiculous.
That said...our players probably would prefer to be with their families on Christmas anyways...but as a fan I'm let down still. Especially if we have to play someone else on that day. That would be outrageous.

watching it against the heat would be more worthwhile. watching the lakers get anally raped by the heat would be lame. Still i hope we play on Christmas day, cause i really want a Christmas day spurs jersey
Ummm, we won the 2012-2013 Finals. Not sure what the deal is here. Absolute slight on NBA's part.

Honestly, I don't even care about regular season games anymore.
Can we just skip right to the playoffs? There's something I was robbed of last June.
2 words for all the guys that are surprised:
small market
Doesn't always happen like that. I remember the Spurs got a road game in LA on Christmas Day 1999 as defending champs. Snitch threw down a nasty dunk on Jaren Jackson.
A Spurs-Rockets Christmas Day matchup would be awesome. Especially if it's in Houston so the fans can get butthurt when Pop starts hacking Howard.
