Why would anyone want to watch Eastern Conference playoff games? Do us all a favor and just put the Western Conference games on TV and forget about the East.
If the past few years are any indication, we will see three ABC games on Saturday and three on Sunday starting at Noon with a late game (on ESPN and TNT) each night. I do not see a 9:30 p.m. (CST) start time as a possibility, no matter what Matt Jackson says. The latest game both days will start at 8 or 8:30.
So true but I'm sure ABC will carry a ton of his playoff games. The eastern playoffs should just be carried on League pass as far as I'm concerned
Yep, typical Northeastern bias. Eastern Conference basketball has been unwatchable since Jordan retired (from the Bulls). Miami was sort of fun to watch last year, but other than that, I would rather watch the Western 7 seed vs the Western 8 seed than any Eastern games. I think all 4 series in the West will be fun to watch. Especially that 4 vs 5 series.
I just checked the ESPN tv guide and they have games scheduled on Saturday for 5:30, 8:00 and 10:30 on Sunday ESPN doesn't have any of the Playoff games scheduled. On the TNT schedule, Sunday there is a 5:30, 8:00 and 10:30 game slotted. ABC has one game scheduled on Saturday at 3:00 (pregame at 2:30pm) and Sunday at 3 So that would be... Saturday 3:00 ABC 5:30 ESPN 8:00 ESPN 10:30 ESPN Sunday 3:00 ABC 5:30 TNT 8:00 TNT 10:30 TNT
so then who gets the 10:30 est time slot? i dont think any east game will, and certainly not dallas, pho or sa as they will prob get an afternoon slot or a sunday slot.
i dont know but most houston games are around the 8 or 8:30PM eastern time. i think a west game could get it like maybe nuggets-spurs??? but if houston gets the 10:00 game, 9:00pm for houston, that's pretty late
its happened before where we get a 930 start in the playoffs. The spurs are playing at home so its the same zone. Utah and denver are in the same zone. Which game do you think would be better to watch from a nations perspective? nuggs spurs. we will get the last time slot on sat
