They did this crap to the Spurs 3x this year and 2x are the Sixers which I get free anyway.

Worse is it not even covered on League Pass.

Sucks

Stuck with audiopass for this one.

I think we won't get the Wiz-Philly game in DC because they're playing at the MCI, and those are usually blacked out locally.

Now watch, those assholes will decide to lift the blackout.

Seriously...why are people surprised???

If I lived in the east coast...I would not EXPECT to watch Spurs games. I mean the Wizards ARE on the East Coast....as well as many other teams.

I'm just glad I'm in SA an I get to watch the game. :tu

Dang, I hate ABC because of this! I always send them emails complaining everytime I hear this, obviously it doesnt work. I should just drive up there since they are going to be an hour/half away. This sucks...

The crappy issue is that they will not be showing the game on Direct TV either since it is a "National TV" game.

Of course, I have been transplanted to Baltimore, so... sucks to be me.

Please, all you west coasters: Which would you rather see? The Jazz vs T Wolves or Pistons vs Cavs?

Same thing!! I mean, I could understand the regional coverage at least showing some GOOD teams play, but Sixers and Wiz suck! Last time it was Sixers vs Twolves, which although it turned out to be an exciting game...Sixers and T wolves suck, nonetheless! :lol

The Sixers DO suck... nobody really follows them up here, as far as I can tell. It's all about the Eagles and now, it seems more peeps are into the Flyers than the Sixers this time of year. I haven't been up here that long, but that is my impression.

I can't wait to go home...

Happened to us last year on the West Coast for the regular season game at Detroit. League Pass needs to get involved and show the other game.

thanks! i'm not so much surprised cuz this isnt the 1st time this is happend but just that i thought this game wasn't gonna be "split" regionally. but it wasnt till yesterday that i saw the philly - wizards matchup at the same time on abc as well that i went all :pctoss

i think the toughest team for our road trip might even be memphis to close this out. to go 8-0 would be great and i'm stunned at how close we are able to get to detroit in the standings. detroit may even drop one tommorow and if we beat indy we'll just be one game behind! surprisingly miami is favored to win tommorow's matchup with detroit! but i think the pistons will pull this one out.

There's hope still. ESPN re-airs all Disney-covered games around 3AM (EST). You won't see the whole game, and you'll already know the score probably, but at least you'll see most of the game.

If you live in the DC Metro area, the Spurs-Pacers game will be on league pass. The Wizards-Sixers game will be shown on ABC-7, but Directv league pass is showing the Spurs-Pacers game on CH 758.

They repeat the game on ESPN at 3 AM on Monday. What a fucking joke!

Why can't they show the Spurs game on one of the 12 NBA League Pass channels?

I agree... they should allow DirectTV to show the game in the East Coast. They can block it on the West coast (and viceversa with the other game).

It is an absolute shame that ppl that pay to see ALL games are not able to do so because of shitty decisions by ABC.

Same problem for me. I sitting here relaxing on Sunday afternoon, only to get fucked again by split national coverage. I have the League Pass also, you would think I could still get the game, but no...

No way in hell I should be getting screwed out of seeing this game.
