That's pretty much all the proof we need to show that the Spares are a 2nd tier team now...I mean seriously, less games than the Bulls and only 1 more than the Sad Sac Kings???
As a Piston fan, I would rather have the Spurs' national tv schedule along with their back-to-back schedule (both in the high teens) then have the schedule the Pistons' have now (national tv and back-to-back are both in the low 20's)

National TV scheduling shows absolutely nothing about basketball talent. All it shows is what trash are the league and networks trying to shove down your throat. Lebron and Kobe playing one man basketball is what the league wants you to watch. That's because David Stern knows absolutely nothing about basketball and is trying to feed us this one on one star garbage. If I wanted that I'd just watch that Streetball trash on Espn.
I'd imagine the Spurs are always middle of the pack on National TV appearances, aren't they?
It's pretty much all the proof we need to show that the Spurs are in the third smallest TV market in the NBA.
I saw only a few games last year, 7-8 games in the regular season
But this year is better, 4 games for Latinamerica In Novembre and 3 in January
But last year in Southamerica we saw more than 10 games of the Bucks, only because the NBA want to show Andrew Bogut to Australia
Every week were Lebron or Bogut
Last year, there were about 20 regular season Spurs games on national TV...of course 2 of them don't count because mother ing ABC robs the east coast Spurs fans twice a year by showing another game like a bunch of inconsiderate asshole suckers.
So when the list says 17 games, it's really 15 for me.

Yep...the small tv market size is the ONLY reason the Spurs have less national tv appearances than teams like Detroit & Chicago.
Actually, most of the bigger sportsbooks have the Mavs as the favorites, with Miami & San Antonio close behind. Regardless, all these teams are either 4-1 or 5-1 to win le for the most part.spurs will be flyin under the radar this year even though the damn bookies have us head on favourites to take out le, wait tmac n the rest of us know that the finals is goin to be rigged where spurs are not playin in finals
I feel your pain dude. The wife and I are pricing digital cable packages for the new place here in Houston and we're seriously considering dropping the extra $$$ for that. I can understand Fox Sports showing Rockets games over the Spurs games, but it drives me up a damn wall what kind of they'll show instead of Spurs games when the Rockets aren't playing. Dallas Stars' games, and third rate poker tournaments! Bite the damn bullet and show the ing Spurs!
And with my luck some of those nationally aired games will be Spurs vs. Rockets, which I would be able to watch locally anyways. GRRRRRRRR.
Why is LA on ABC more than Dallas?
Bigger market & Kobe.
Well, there you go.
The NBA rules are responsible for that, since I think the blackout radius for the NBA markets is like 100 miles. Even when I lived in Waco I couldn't see the Spurs games on Fox Sports. That's why I know more about the Mavericks than the Mavericks fans do.I feel your pain dude.

Got any spare rims? I've been wanting to put some Stang rims on my '82 Fairmont...lemme know!
Unless you've done a 5 bolt conversion they won't fit. I really meant it as a joke, but my wife said that if I want to get league pass I'm going to have to generate some "soft money" for it. I'd like to enjoy the Spurs a couple of times while Timmy's still in his prime.Got any spare rims? I've been wanting to put some Stang rims on my '82 Fairmont...lemme know!
Damnit...those Stang rims would look phat on the 'Mont...
You got a K&N filter or Flows that you'd sell me? I could you another 25-30 HP...
Seriously, if you are actually interested in something, find out what actually will fit your car and send me a PM. And Flows are for ghettows.Damnit...those Stang rims would look phat on the 'Mont...

Tell me about 22 back to backs is absolutely insane. I'm really suprised about the amount of TV appearances. It's good though cause the Pistons always seem to "get up" for nationally-televised game. Then again who knows how effective we will be w/o Ben.
Could be a blessing in disguise for them. Since the myth that the Pistons don't get tired has been laid to rest, maybe they will use the B2Bs to develop their depth before the playoffs.
Whatever dude...I might skip the Flows and go all out with some glass packs...haven't decided yet...
White folk....
no worries, the Spurs almost lost all their 2005-2006 Sat & Sunday games* on TV anyway.
