Game Thread Spurs (32-15) @ Hornets (21-28) (Sat 1/31/26) [11:00AM CST]

[Guru of Nothing]

I never understood the logic behind local broadcasts for nationally televised game.
The game in Houston had ESPN and home team feed, this one has Amazon and road team feed, what gives?

Lot of incompetency in the NBA FO when it comes to television and scheduling, and I'm pretty sure they don't care.

 

[WembyFan]

Is that Charlotte or Phoenix

 

[Guru of Nothing]

Hornets bringing their D- uniform game.

 

[spursparker9]

Man...that court and hornet's jersey sure are distracting

 

[scott]

League pass had ESPN and Rockets feed.
This game has Amazon and Spurs feed.
There are never 3 broadcasts, I just don't get the logic how is the second broadcast decided for nationally televised games.

Could be that Amazon crew decided not to travel in these conditions

 

[spursparker9]

Wow Fox is on ball now?

Is that Mitch coaching? lol

 

[scott]

Ugh, le’ts not make this a 3pt shooting contest please

Great feed by Fox to Wemby but Vic took his eyes off it

Already two second change opportunities for CHA

 

[BatManu20]

Giving up way too many Second Chance opportunities already.

 

[LeBowen]

Could be that Amazon crew decided not to travel in these conditions

Let me try again.
Every NBA game has 2 feeds.
Usually it's home and away.
When it's nationally televised one of those is replaced by national broadcast.
I'm just wondering why it's sometimes national+home and sometimes national+away, how is that decided? Which of the two local feeds gets the game, that is.

 

[LeBowen]

CB disease is spreading, Wemby has been missing too many dunks as of late.

 

[Neuromancer]

Trash defense to start

 

[scott]

Miles Bridges another one of those MFs who never misses against us

 

[NASpurs]

Yeah they have us on a string

 

[WembyFan]

Ok Wemby, what' the deal.

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

can’t rebound or defend the 3….what else is new

 

[Guru of Nothing]

Wemby struggling a little early.

 

[BatManu20]

Rough start and as this the case with every team that shoots the 3 well, this team is a bad matchup for us. Wemby not helping matters with all his missed bunnies.

 

[spursparker9]

Wemby playing at half speed

 

[Wemby_Island]

Thats why Pop dont like Dunks.

 

[100%Duncan]

Miles Bridges another one of those MFs who never misses against us

Extra annoying losing to horrible human beings

 

[Tom-Tom82]

Man, the Hornets can't miss!!

 

[spursfanfromafar]

Wemby missing some buckets he would generally make. I think the Hornets are shooting a lot of threes that might not always go in. The Spurs must just keep at it and play cohesive on offense and they should be winning this, I think.

 

[Snake Eyes]

Spurs offense looks pretty good. A couple misses but really good ball movement. This is going to be up to the defense today. Charlotte can’t miss right now.

 

[BatManu20]

Man, the Hornets can't miss!!

5th best 3PT shooting team in the league this season and the main reason they're the hottest team in the league right now. They have multiple guys who shoot it at a high clip.

Saw people on Twitter calling this a trap game..nah hornets are good and have our number. these are the games we have to win if we wanna call ourselves contenders
