    The sentiment from many of the idiots covering the league has been obvious for a while, but today cements Spurs officially being back to pre '13 status. Having a top 3 team in the past 3 years and having a top 3 player, as well as solid out of market TV ratings and merchandise sales somehow didn't merit an opening night, Christmas day game or benefit of the doubt.

    I know Leonard doesn't like the spotlight, but he also presumably didn't work his ass off to get to the level he's at to okay essentially being told he's irrelevant and if the teams performance follows suit (relatively speaking) and he can't even win MVP despite having what should be the perfect setup for it, at what point does he become fed up?

    Well, they are on ESPN's opening night telecast.

    I guess the league wants to spotlight the Sixers, Knicks, Lakers, Timberwolves and Pelicans. Teams that have made a lot of noise the last couple of seasons.

    Silver lining is our Spurs players get a Christmas break with their families. And I'll probably end up going to Star Wars or something cool instead of staying at home and watching a Spurs game.

    Clan's a Democrat thing, brah. I don't know what your Mexican deal is; but it's possible I'll head to Alberto's or Miguel's for a burrito.

    I personally don't care that much about watching the Spurs on Christmas, like I said. I don't think it's even for the better from a team standpoint. But is this the league giving the Spurs the finger? You have the best or second best player in the league and you're not going to showcase him in one of five games? Honestly, wow.

    Funny. Could've sworn the Klan's leader and newspaper endorsed Trump. Nice spin, Rufus. I don't have a Mexican deal, you do, I mean you called them strawberry pickers in the soccer forum the other week and went on your own 3 page meltdown.

    That's what happens when you wind up with Brandon Paul instead of Chris Paul, tbh.

    I don't keep up with the klan; I guess you do. But it wouldn't surprise me that the Democrat arm would do that in hopes of sabotaging Trump in conjunction with the Democrat media arm. It's like a hail mary cos nobody gives a besides the brown racists and not the people they're trying to convince. But if it soothes your nerves, then okay.

    As for strawberry pickers, I have no problem with the work they do. If they're making an honorable living, cool. I was laughing at their ty soccer team all the same.

    Full schedule not announced yet. This is just a primer so that Disney Sports can milk it for all it's worth.

    T Wolves should be very good this season. Maybe the Pels, also.

    Inland Empire, California

    Alberto's has the best breakfast burritos; sauce is the best too.

    Miguel Jrs. is the . Good prices, great food, clean air-conditioned.

    Honestly, only Spurs fans want to watch Kawhi and a gaggle of scrubs play on opening night or Christmas. What do you expect? It's a one man team, people.

    Which serves my point...No one cares about the Spurs except us. Everyone cared about LBJ since he was crowned the next coming of MJ before he ever stepped foot in the NBA. It also doesn't help that we have only one legitimately exciting player.

    Well Trump isn't really Republican either even though he ran as one.

    The Spurs always perform best when they fly under the radar anyway.

    That's pretty sad and speaks volumes about Pop. He can't handle his team being the hunted.
