    if you guys have Time warner in Austin,
    since they struck a deal with the Lakers, you can watch the Lakers vs Rockets game on that Time Warners Sports channel tomorrow

    FYI

    Austin is a Spurs television market, which means you get nothing but an onslaught of Sean Elliott on Fox Sports unless you have league pass.

    Feel sooooo sorry for you guys :(

    I'm like 99% sure that everything BUT the Spurs is blacked out in Austin, regardless of if you have the channel that airs it or not.

    For instance, I have DirecTV and the Sports Package. I get damn near every single regional network there is. They show the regular programming, but when the game comes on...blackout.

    I turned on that channel and I got some Lakers talk show the other night.
    I'm pretty sure they will show the game (it's Rockets vs Lakers not Spurs vs Lakers)

    This reminds of WGN when they showed all the Bulls games .

    Yeah, that is weird how WGN doesn't really have a limited broadcast area with its sports coverage.

    I really wouldn't get my hopes up to see the Rockets game though...

    The Tavern on Lamar used to be the best spot but I've been doing the 5 team League Pass internet thing for awhile so I'm not sure if it still is. I was easily spending more on beer in the year than the cost of LP.
