    What the hell? On ESPN, they have game 2 shown only on NBATV. This is horrendous. Every other game gets national coverage and we get screwed with NBATV...

    NBAtv is national. ;)

    And yes, it's on NBAtv....been on that channel since the schedule was released.

    It's also on My20 if you are in Houston.

    Wishing I had Directtv.....i hate cable, dropping suddenlink in may. :D

    Technically speaking, NBATV is national coverage.

    Aside from that, I am also disgusted that they have the game on NBATV. How inconvenient for someone who can't afford to upgrade his cable for the time being. Oh well I'll go to a bar or something.

    not much else that they could do with the schedule the NBA prefers to have at most 3 games during the weekdays. Preferably only 2.

    The lakers also play on tuesday night which puts two West coast games on, of course they will go with the lakers.

    I have NBATV so it doesnt bother me that much. I hope they piggy back off of the my20 feed though instead of the blazers feed.

    I think they usually use the home team feed for games on NBAtv. Perhpas the NBA realized what a mismatch this series is, and decided to relegate it to NBAtv? :D

    Or the Lakers play at the same time and they get automatic better coverage...

    I wouldn't doubt it, ANYTHING to downplay Houston's success. Does MY20 have an HD feed? I hate watching NON HD feeds. I have NBAtv but can't recall if it is HD.

    Well yeah, that's obvious. I was just joking about a "silver lining."

    Well, I don't live in Houston, so I'm screwed as far as that goes. I might just have to buy NBATV for the time being until the playoffs end.

    NBA Tv is a one time charge, its like 40 bucks for the entire season. It will be a waste if you ask me...

    it's different with different cable companies.

    in my area , it's only Five bucks extra per month for the Sports Tier package, which includes NBATV among others.

    i enjoy the year round coverage, so it's worth it to me...

    This could be bad

    listening to those Homers, Mike & Mike would be an awful experience particularly in a playoff game. I'd rather listen to Houston Homers.

    Hey DD, do you mean NBATV is on Time Warner, or the game is in HD on Time Warner? I'm in Austin, and NBATV is definitely not in HD here. I've checked the other HD channels to see if TWC was putting it on the NBALP HD channel or somthing, but no luck.
