When does the playoff schedule come out? Is it tonight or tomorrow morning? I'm pretty sure we start out on Saturday like last year and it will be something like this... game 1 SAT @ portland ESPN game 2 MON @ portland TNT game 3 THU Toyota Center TNT game 4 SAT Toyota Center ESPN game 5 TUES @ portland NBATV game 6 FRI Toyota Center ESPN game 7 MON @ portland TNT (I guessed this based on last years schedule. only reason i look this up is to know when to ask off work does this look even half right?
Game 1 will likely be on Saturday, TNT has first pick on what games to pick and they are showing a Triple Header on Sunday, so u can probably say the Lakers/Jazz (which they mentioned numerous times on Tuesday they would start on Sunday) and either the Cavs or Celtics series will be on Sunday also my guess, we are either a day game on Saturday or late game as for Game 3/4 here, I'm going to guess Thursday 23rd, Sat 25th, again, estimated guess
i think it would be late ....with game 1 being on the west coast... only other west coast games would be denver...
Here are the dates and times (for the first four games at least - time is listed in CST) for Houston's opening round playoff series against the Portland Trailblazers: Game 1 - Sat April 18 Houston at Portland 9:30PM ESPN Game 2 - Tue April 21 Houston at Portland 9:00PM NBATV Game 3 - Fri April 24 Portland at Houston 8:30PM ESPN Game 4 - Sun April 26 Portland at Houston 8:00PM TNT Game 5 * Tue April 28 Houston at Portland TBD TBD TBD Game 6 * Thu April 30 Portland at Houston TBD TBD TBD Game 7 * Sat May 2 Houston at Portland TBD TBD TNT
Not that surprising. Obviously,you're biggest viewership for a Blazers game will be West Coast viewers, so why try and force the game during the day. 9:30 pm our time = 7:30 pm western time = prime-time. this is fine with me. nothing i had planned for saturday night caninterrupt watching the game! Game 2 on NBATV is a little surprising. Will this be on a local feed as well, then?
Man, I F'ing hate playoff schedules. 2 days off game 2 days off game 2 days off game Way too much off time. If somebody sweeps a series and their 2nd round opponent goes 7 games, they could have a week and a half between games.
So, probably one of the best matchups in the first round is going to be on NBA TV on Tuesday... damn I hate the NBA.
i think this will be seen as one of the best first round series, espcially since portland have become america's darlings (honestly, i would be rooting for portland if i wasnt a rockets fan, they are fun to watch). anyways yeah we will be on saturday for game 1.
Looks like my Saturday will be quite busy with the Bruins coming on Versus at 7 & then Game 1 later that night!
