Anybody have any idea what days Game A and B will be on? I have a friend coming in from college this weekend and I want to get us tickets to one of the games because his birthday was yesterday. I just need to know which one will be on Saturday or Sunday or if any of them will be. I know this isn't really thread worthy just looking for a quick answer.
Game A will be on Saturday or Sunday, the playoff schedule announced on Weds night after all of the games are over.
fwiw, here is my educated guess..... here is the TV schedule, all CT SAT ABC 2-4:30PM ESPN 4:30PM-7PM ESPN 7PM-9:30PM ESPN 9:30PM-12AM SUN TNT 12PM-2:30PM ABC 2:30PM-5PM TNT 6PM-8:30PM TNT 8:30PM-11PM If it follows the same format as previous years, TNT gets first dibs on what games to pick up. I can see TNT picking up our series since they aired 2 of the Rockets/Blazers games, with the 1/20 game being a late pickup after they dropped a Lakers game. If that's the case, we will be the 6PM or 8:30PM game on Sunday, I see there is NO WAY they lead us with the Sunday noon game. If TNT passes us, we'll be on ESPN on Saturday being the 4:30PM or 7PM game. I can see the LAC game being a lock for the 9:30pm slot on Sat since I don't see the Spurs, OKC, us, and none of the east teams having the late west coast time slot. For comparison, Game 1 vs. OKC last year was the last TNT and playoff game played on a Sunday at 8:30PM, but our series was attractive because of the whole Harden returning to face OKC story. Btw, since all 16 teams are set in stone, with the home teams locked, I wouldn't be surprised if the schedule leaked before the last game of the season on Wednesday
