    ABC is showing the Lakers game in California. That really sucks. I was looking forward to watching the Rockets play tomorrow. Hate Lakers.

    Go Rockets!

    I checked ABC and the Fakers game will be shown here in MD. Maybe I have to take use of the broadband live game show which comes with my League pass.

    People in California & Washinton will see the Lakers vs Sonics game, people in Texas will see the Rockets vs Spurs game. Not sure about everywhere else, I think it's controlled by your local ABC station, so if they get enough interest in a particular game, they might change it. (I had one such experience in graduate school in a midwest town, when we got several hundreds people call the station to request a particular NBA game, and the TV changed the program.)

    I am in LA and who would want to see the Fakers and seattle. I believe the Spurs and Rockets is way better :mad: Waste my money for the League pass and i don't understand why NBA league pass doesn't show, when they know F$%^ing ABC will not show the game for the West coast. Maybe i should complain and get my money back.

    So basically the broadcast of the game is downgraded from national to local. If that's the case it will be injustice NBA LP not showing on one of its own channels.

    If I recall correctly, whenever there were 2 games, and one was broadcast, the other was always on NBA LP....

    I think.

    The team schedule on Rockets dot com is still showing ABC as the national broadcaster of this game. :mad: Why can't they have more competent personnel running that site?

    It's a regional deal....

    Houstonians, Texans, SW, etc will get Rockets-Spurs...

    West Coast and probably everyone else will get Lakers-Sonics...

    so if you live in Texas, or the South, you'll definitely be getting Rockets-Spurs...

    anyone who lives anywhere even close to LA will get Sonics-Lakers...

    It's regional...
