    It is time to flood TNT with e-mails from us angry fans about this delay crap. The 3rd quarter is now starting and they are still showing the boston chicago game. It is 2009 people. WHY have they not figured this out yet? FLOOD away!

    Turner Sports
    One CNN Center
    13 South Tower
    Atlanta, GA 30303

    Or you can email - tnt@turner.com

    Who gives a ****. The viewers elsewhere deserve the chance to at least watch Houston/Portland. ESPN sucks, but at least they would've used one of their other channels to air the game.

    You've seen as much of the Rockets game as anyone not in Houston or Portland.

    Not to mention the endless timeouts and commercial breaks. They had plenty of opportunities to cut to live game action in Houston.

    This is ridiculous. We get two of our playoff games shown on NBATV, then our decisive Game 6 starts its broadcast 3 minutes into the 3rd quarter with Matt Devin and P.J. Carlesimo as commentators? Seriously? Boston-Chicago gets Kevin Harlan and Doug Collins, and we get them?! Where's Marv Albert? Hell I'd even take Reggie Miller over the two broadcasting right now.

    Unbelievable.

    It sucks for fans... but it's not unfair. Would you want them to cut off a Houston game what was going to 3 OTs? right...

    I was so pissed too but honestly you cannot expect national viewers outside of the Rockets and Blazers fanbase to give a crap about our game when Bulls/Celtics game is in tripple overtime. Thats going to be an instant classic on espn. Anyway it sucked for me especially because I'm out in Cali and I can't catch it on a local channel.

    What is if it was Rockets vs Blazers first - and they went to 30T, and they just switched it to Bulls vs Rockets and neglected the overtimes?

    Not cut the Boston game. But they should show the game on TBS or allow the NBA to show it on NBATV or something.

    I live in Austin and have NBA League Pass and I was unable to watch the game.

    That should never happen.

    I think you miss the point.

    They have an obligation to consider contingency plans in case a game goes to multiple OTs. It is ridiculous to allow one network to carry both these games when it's obvious to everyone that there was no way the first game would end in time for the second game tipoff.

    You guys are missing a hell of a game. I don't know why they didn't move the feed to TBS or something. I thought TNT and TBS were partners?
