Anyone else mad about the 8:20 tip off time?

[duncan_21]

Why can't they have the tipoff between 7 and 7:15? I work nights so I missed most of the 4th quarter so I had to listen to the coverage beamed from san antonio to iowa as i drove into work.

It's just not me, I'm sure those that have to work at 7 am in the central and eastern time zones probably didn't watch the whole game unless you're a spurs/pistons fan.

Not a good way to promote the game unless they were aiming at a pacific time audience. Same gripe about the world series.

You think its bad, that was 9:15 for us in Detroit. The game didnt get done until almost midnight. Half time was exactly at 10:30, the time the ECF usually ended. I think all the games should start at 8:00 Est unless and Pac time zone team is playing, then maybe start it at 9:00 Est.

[SpursWoman]

Don't bitch....we could be playing another team in the pacific time zone, with games starting at almost 10:00pm.

:fro

[SouthernFried]

I hope you got to miss the pre-game show.

[duncan_21]

But doesn't it seem rediculous when the eastern time zone probably won't watch the culmanation of the nba season? Maybe they wanted to have everybody watch the crap will smith is pushin on us now.

I was hopin he would get booed like ashlee simpson did in the bcs bowl game last year.

That Canadian chick can't see for shit. Who cares if she was naturalized? At her tax bracket, she probably did it for tax reasons, rather than love for This Great Murderous Country of Ours.

[DDS4]

:rolleyes :stfu

[bigzak25]

you just can't please fuckin everybody....our team is in the FINALS. i'd watch them at 2am if i had to.

[Clandestino]

in 1999, i lived in germany and i had to wake up at like 3am to watch them!

[duncan_21]

Same here. I'm not displeased...ok just a little. But I was thinkin more along the lines of promoting the nba. Just pointing something out that seemed stupid to me.

[boutons]

I knew right wing nut Clandestino would be suckered by that one. :lol

[combs84]

Ya like the one person said, it could be worse..I didn't get home last night until around 1:30. They care about whats better for the NBA fan, not whats better for the Spurs and Piston Fan. Oh well.

[Slomo]

in 1999, i lived in germany and i had to wake up at like 3am to watch them!
I did wake up at 3 am and after the game took a shower and went to work :)

I don't care I got to see the game and the Spurs won!!!!

[Clandestino]

that is what i used to do... watch the game, shower, be at work at 6:30... but after wins i wasn't even tired one bit! i went to bed at like 130 last night... i was up by 5 today... i had to get up and read what everyone was saying... i'll be pumped all weekend!

[Leetonidas]

I'm in California right now on vacation so they start at 6:00 here. :)

No shit. What a treasonous bitch. Talk about bandwagoner.

Slomo,

It's great that you're still a fan even when Rasho and Beno are riding pine. You're a great Spurs fan.

It was good for me, I was at University, so I had to run to find a TV :oops

[Tres_Till_it_MHz]

Same here was glad the game started a little later, got home in record time to only have missed the first couple of minutes.

[bigzak25]

i will admit it would be nicer to have some games on fri or sat night,
but i guess abc thinks that's would kill the ratings or something...

[Slomo]

Slomo,

I was a fan before Rasho joined - and don't have any plans to jump ship :)

Clandestino: you are right it's no problem after a win :)

[SpursWoman]

It wasn't when the game ended that's killing me today at work....it's not getting home from Kori's until almost 3:00 this morning and having to get up at 6:30.
