Poetic justice.
of a schedule to end the season.
Poetic justice.
All the things you listed that would result from SA opening @Cavs (controversy, bad blood, fierce rivalry, etc. etc.) is the very an hesis of Spurs Basketball.
The nation LOVED watching the Spurs Team ball last year. THAT is what makes the NBA better off. And that is what those of us that are basketball fans (as opposed to WWF matches) ask for all the time.
The Spurs play a 'beautiful game". That is what the Spurs sell. What more could you ask for?
At this point ol' sport's quest is trying to get past the second round
The Spurs don't care about ratings. When have they ever cared about ratings? If you and Whitlock want to create bad blood between the Spurs and the Cavs then the Spurs should have opened up at home against the Cavs. The Spurs getting their rings and raising their championship banner would better fuel the fire of a "rivalry" than the Spurs going to Cleveland. The Spurs wouldn't have cared. Only the fans would have cared.
Appropiate. A texas affair.
Running for dat worst poster award?
James is probably the one who told the NBA no to playing the Spurs on banner night
You're going? Sweet my buddy is flying in from Chicago and I'm going as well (I live in Austin).Getting ready to book those flights...San Antonio, here I come!
Wouldn't be surprised if not a good game worth seeing. Spurs play best ball at end of season. Not like us to reveal new strategies first game. Pop will be experimenting with line ups vs new mavs
Oh yeah! I want to see them get their rings and raise that fifth banner in person!
Also gonna see if my friend from Dallas can make it down for the game. He's a big Mavs fan, so it should be a good time.
Does anyone know when tickets go on sale?
WCF preview tbh
typical. The champs should and deserve to open at home every year, unless it's the Spurs. Then they should "check their ego" and bow to LeBron.
They could care less if they lose game 1 of 82
I agree, but let's not cede the ratings point. The 2014 Finals had great ratings and exceeded last year. No bad blood necessary. Just redemption.

Huh? I didn't think that the Spurs actually get a say in it?
Jason Whitlock can suck a .
wtf ?
Defending champ is totally en led to raise his ing banner at home in front of his fans for the opener
Would the Spurs have accepted that I would have considered it as a pussy move...
I actually chatted with a ticket agent on NBA.com yesterday and he told me it would be about two weeks.
I agree. It's a stupid argument. As I said earlier, if they really wanted to push the Cavs/Spurs as a rivalry and a "bad blood" angle then the Cavs should have opened up on the road against the Spurs for the ring ceremony. The other way around just doesn't make sense. Why would the Spurs care about opening on the road against the Cavs?
I would have liked to see Spurs @ Cavs on October 30 as the Cavs' season opener, with Mavs @ Spurs on October 28 (ring ceremony) as scheduled.
I wouldn't wanna c ne of those games till later in season when they really start playing and have some of the other teams video to watch n make an actual strategy
It's basically impossible to carry a rivalry across conferences with the limited number of times the teams play each year anyways, unless each team is making the Finals every year. Spurs and Cavs both look good on paper, but its far from guaranteed that even one of them will make it this year, let alone both. Making the defending champs open on the road to try to fan a one-player rivalry would be dumb.
21st of August i'm seeing.
