The start time of the game was moved up three hours in anticipation of weather. The Spurs play and hopefully hightail it out of North Carolina for Texas, where they have another early game at the Frost Bank Center on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Sunday\u2019s game against the Orlando Magic has a Sesame Street theme. And there are still some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofevo.com\/event\/PoundingrockSesame\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tickets available<\/a> if you want a limited addition t-shirt and the Courtside Experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In anticipation of the Sesame Street Day, two members of the Spurs were asked which Children\u2019s Television Workshop characters they related to the most.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Keldon, the curator of chaos, naturally chose Cookie Monster, the most impulsive of Muppets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Luke Kornet named Count von Count, distinctly for his survival skills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s a shame they couldn\u2019t get more guys on camera. It\u2019s safe to say Victor Wembanyama could relate to Big Bird. But what about Jeremy Sochan, or Stephon Castle, De\u2019Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes, or Devin Vassell? Who grew up relating to Oscar the Grouch, or Elmo, Ernie and Bert, or Mr. Snuffleupagus?\u2026wait, maybe I just answered my own question.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What about you? Who did you relate to from Sesame Street? Personally, I am partial to the Two-Headed Monster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Welcome to the Thread.
