Game 1 8:30 PM on TNT Game 2 on TNT Game 3 on ESPN Game 4 on TNT Game 5 on TNT Game 6 on ESPN Game 7 TBA All home game on TNT, that is great news, though Hubie might be more bearable because we are the underdog against both teams.

I don't get the Hubie hate. [hubie] You're watching a Rockets game, you got to deal with a color commentator one way or another. You either grin and bear it and try to do the job with an ex coach who tends to front run whoever is playing well and has the hot hand at the time, and you're dealing with lots of compliments and such, or you get yourself stuck with your Reggie Miller, your great shooter who give you ability to stretch the floor with lots of inane comments and your dumb jokes and your Drexleresque level of analysis, so, now, that's what you're dealing with in that situation [/hubie]
We're not going to be on ABC at all? hmm....Figured Rockets vs SA would be the best 2nd round match up and we'd get prime time for sure.
If it goes 7, I'll bet good money that Game 7 will be in the afternoon on ABC. There's a 2 day break after Game 6 which is on Thursday. The problem with the rest of the series schedule is that only Game 4 would be eligible for ABC and there's no way they'll have that game in the afternoon after the two teams played Friday night. And yes, I'm aware that happened to the Spurs and Clippers in Game 4 in their current series, but that's a very rare occurrence.
Why the 2 day rests for most of the first round, but only 1 day for most of the second round? I'm not complaining necessarily, just confused by it. They could have sprinkled 1 and 2 day rests throughout both series.
That's great I like Marv on TNT Broadcast. Something about his voice calling playoff games just sounds right.
Need to get JVG, Chris Webber, Grant Hill, or Mark Jackson on our broadcasts! Tired of Hubie Brown! Reggie Miller wasn't as bad, but he's still a hater!
Neither team had to travel for game 4 but did have to travel for game 5 that Tuesday so in that case it made sense to have their game on ABC.
JVG is becoming annoying, goes on tantrums way too much, always his nonsense about rule changes, FTs, instead of talking about the game. Harlan, Webber, Steve Smith, Brent Barry, Hill, Caboclo, Anderson and Mike Breen are the only good ones.
Why do you want ABC? Am I the only one who's not a big fan of Mike Breen? I'll take Kevin Harland/Marv Albert over everyone else any day.
