    yea u know ABC is gonna pick up the lakers, cavs, and/or heat.

    houston won't get any ABC games unless tmac goes crazy the first fwe games.

    but o well, u gotta win to get some recognition anyways. so WIN WIN WIN

    ALL games will be on national TV w/ a few on NBATV (trust me, houston won't be the ones on NBATV, prollie matchups like toronto v. washington)

    we're talking about ABC only here and houston won't get the "important time" slots.

    I think whether the Rockets have home court advantage or not, I look for game #1 to be saturday at 9:30pm Central Time. That pretty much sucks for Rockets fans (except that you all should be nice and lathered by game time.) The problem is that there is only one team (the Suns) in the Pacific time zone. Unless the NBA really wants to screw over a bunch of teams, the Suns have to play one of the late time slots. TNT gets 1st pick of games after ABC, so I would assume they will take the Phoenix series as the late game sunday night. ABC will take Cavs/Heat for sure for one of their 2 games (probably sunday). The other ABC game is probably either Chicago/New Jersey, or potentially a series featuring Kobe if it's not Phoenix.
    Game Times are as follows.....

    Saturday 2pm (ABC) 4:30, 7, 9:30pm (ESPN)
    Sunday 2pm (ABC) 4:30, 7, 9:30 (TNT)

    Here's my guess....
    Saturday 2pm Bulls/Nets (ABC)
    Saturday 4:30pm Raptors/Wizards (ESPN)
    Saturday 7pm Mavs/8th seed (ESPN)
    Saturday 9:30pm Rockets/Jazz (ESPN)

    Sunday 2pm Cavs/Heat (ABC)
    Sunday 4:30pm Pistons/Magic (TNT)
    Sunday 7pm Nuggets/Spurs (TNT)
    Sunday 9:30pm Suns/7th Seed

    Thanks Matt.

    Hopefully you're right, because by 9:30 most people should be able to get to the game on time and actually have their ass in a seat at tip-off. What a concept.

    I do. We always win on ESPN. On TNT we usually win, but it's in ugly fashion.

    I'm sick of Walton though, and they usually team up.

    I would also want to stay away from Doug Collins
