    Because ABC is showing the game....but the local ABC stations choose which game to show, it is THEIR CHOICE !!

    yes it was whenever there was a double/triple header on nbc one of the three games would be fully national while the other one (sometimes two) were regional coverage.

    Fair enough, but I still think the league should pick up the slack by making the game available to those of us who reside out of the region and have paid NBA LP.

    I agree. I still think there's a chance it will. It seems like I remember an ABC game on League Pass.

    Only if you are in TX. Unfortunately, for the rest of us, we have to watch the Fakers or turn the TV off.

    NBA LP has no update on the schedule that there will be a game added.

    Satelite users, only if local channel is in TX.

    NBC sucks, always and forever. And forever is very long time. :mad:

    You should be watching college ball. :)

    I'm sure you could find it somewhere on the internet.

    OMG! Who cares about the Sonics and the Lakers. ABC is seriously insane if they think people would rather watch that game than the best big-men matchup in the league.

    In Denver ABC is going to show the lousy Lakers vs. Sonics.

    Anyone know if I can stream the video. Help! I've tried pplive and a few others but haven't been able to find any software downloads for Macs, all for PCs only. :confused: :mad: :confused:

    I am so mad right now. I'm guessing they'll show the stupid Lakers here in Montana. Oh I am so mad. ABC and League Pass are screwing me over.

    sorry for you. I don't think Macs is popular in china, and as a result, you can't expect to find any software coming with a mac version.

    Could you guess pls write a complain letter through nba.com and tell them the situation. I just did mine and i say to them that you guys sucks for letting ABC do that to us, especially for the Rockets fans who is not living in Houston and also who already purchased NBALP. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
