If the Spurs aren't on national TV, you can't see them in San Diego unless you buy NBA League Pass.

**englishspursfan** · 03-02-2007

thank you kori...always a great help..i just thought i might see the game tonight...oh well thaks anywho.

League Pass is worth every penny. I've had it for years, I've lived on the East and West coasts, never in SA. I'd go crazy if I could only see them on national TV.
I believe right now you can get the rest of the season for $99.

**twincam** · 03-02-2007

They've actually have plenty of national coverage, but they tend to lose most of those games.....but yes they do play on national tv from time to time.

They are boring to watch for everyone except spurs fans.

All of the playoff games should be on fairly standard TV networks -- on TNT, ESPN, or ABC. The only exception would be a stray game in the first round that might only be televised nationally on NBATV, but you don't have to have League Pass (as far as I know) to get NBATV.

**englishspursfan** · 03-02-2007

thx .

**duncan228** · 03-02-2007

You can get NBATV w/out League Pass. And, yes, the playoffs are all on national TV. League Pass ends on the last day of the season.

This isn't exactly true, since you can stream some games online. It doesn't get every game (doesn't have today's game, but it has tomorrow's against Houston), it's low quality, and much of the time it's all in Chinese, but it would still be an upgrade over just national TV and GameCast.

You have to download one of the video players for it to work of course.

Well at least you get the Laker games.

And how is that BBC league pass?

**VaSpursFan** · 03-02-2007

league pass is the way to go. i get every spurs game which is an absolute godsend for a spurs homer like me...but i get to check out the other games as well since i'm a total b-ball homer.

**AFBlue** · 03-02-2007

Not true about Spurs on National TV. I can recall a back-to-back where they were on TNT one night and ESPN the next. I don't know how many teams in this league get nationally broadcast on back-to-back nights. The networks have to fill their quota with Eastern Conference teams, but I'd say the Spurs get on their just as much, if not more, than the Mavs & Suns.
