Higher Ratings>Better Basketball game.
A Spurs-Houston/GS would do it for me if a matchup versus the Heat can't happen. Yeah, I would love to see the Spurs give Houston and Howard some Christmas freebies from the free throw line.
After that great finals how the spurs don't play the heat is bs

good.
who wants to watch 6 vs 4 basketball again??
Not thrilled, but we will get to play the Heat again (probably on NBA TV... heh). This is probably retaliation to Pop and Spoelstra likely sitting their A team against each other until the Finals yet again next year.
All leagues are money driven.
I'd rather not think about the spurs/heat this Christmas...a win against the heat wouldn't be that satisfying, with how the finals ended..a loss would be a painful reminder.....on Christmas!? No thanks.
How many "28 second" replays, do some of you, realistically... think you can handle?
Christmas Day 2005 was a loss against Detroit right?
I see SAS/HOU or SAS/GSW or even SAS/OKC on Christmas though.
I remember that Xmas day game, against det...it was UGLY.
I dunno if we had Christmas Day 2007 against Cleveland. Probably not since that Finals was a coronation and ratings poison.
SAS/CLE that season gave us a SuperManu game though, so I'm happy.
It's cool if we don't have a Christmas game against the Heat. I mean, how funny would it be to watch LA on Christmas day not because they deserve it but simply because they're the Lakers? And to be utterly destroyed by Miami, mind you.
Truly a great gift![]()
Don't the Lakers make a spectacle of losing on Christmas Day anyway?
They won in 2012 against NYK and 2008 against BOS, but in other years a Lakers Christmas Day game sucked for them.
FTL, tbh
The announcement of the game was actually a gift for us Spurs fans. Prefect example of what one would call "Christmas in July" Lol
YEP, who cares..... Your right.
I would love that matchup![]()
Christmas 2007
Miami at Cleveland
Suns at Lakers
SuperSonics at Trailblazers
Lol they're a business not a charity case. They have to turn a profit. Nice fail here.
Nbatv doing a spurs vs heat series replay starting at 1 pm cst tomorrow for those who want to relive the finals... They also doing the bulls heat replay tonight for those who want to scout beli.
Good. I suggest that the Pop and Manu apologists go re-watch the game and try to fight off their blind homerism of blaming the loss on the whole team when Pop and Manu were clearly the ones that ed up the most.
Don't you ever stop?

Spurs Vs Rockets sounds good to me on Christmas Day.
Combining this with Frank Isola's tweets from 7/30, Christmas looks to be:
OKC/NYK
BRK/CHI
MIA/LAL
LAC/GST
with one more game -- a Rockets' road game -- to be revealed.
