Mother fuckers won't air the Spurs vs Rockets game tomorrow on the west coast... and because the assholes bought the game rights, it is not covered by the NBA League Pass agreement.
I asked the DirecTV people to give me the east coast feed, at least temporarly just for the game, the least they can do considering I am paying them to wach every game. They told me they are forbiden to open the ABC east coast feed on a west coast tv set based on freaking feed regulations.
This is the largest pile of shit I've heard in a while. So in fucking summary, I am prevented to watch the game on an NBA League Pass channel, and I am prevented to watch the game on my local ABC channel... great.
I guess my only choice would be to go to a sport bar and pray they have the ABC east coast feed. Suggestions?
FUCK ABC!

I didn't even bother checking. Once I saw Lakers/Seattle as the other game, no chance in hell of seeing the Spurs.

Wah. We hardly ever get Spurs games in the east on ABC when there is another game up against it. You've got it better in the west than we do in the east.

:tu Seriously, ABC already did that to us East Coasters 3 times this season with their regional coverage.
Anyone know which game they're showing in Philly? Or does the ENTIRE east coast actually get to watch Spurs vs Houston? Not that it'll be a fun game...since Tmac won't be playing, I expect the Spurs to finish the Rockets off in 3 quarters. Houston is something like 1-16 without TmAC.

I suspect it'll be the same up here in Canada. I have League Pass and the N.Y. Feed of ABC and neither of those seem to have the game. The only hope I have left is the local ABC feed, but I really doubt it'll be showing it either. :depressed
It's too bad, cause with my DVR I've been able to watch every game this year (although I did fastforward through the last 1/3 of that Laker game :)) and it'll be a shame to miss one.

I wonder when the Spurs make the finals again this year, who they will show in place of the Spurs? Ive given up on ABC. If not for Desperate Housewives, I would not watch the channel.

Direct TV owes you a refund if they do not show you all the games. It says season pass for all games.

I have audio pass as a backup but this still blows. What angers me it is always seemingly the Lakers in the other game, or just as bad a bunch of scrubs and that is what the Sonics are (excusing Kori's friend, Felix Noel = he improves that team!).

fucking ABC better air the Spurs game in the east coast, because we've been jipped like 50 times already, those mother fucking scum bags pic the worst games to air, and when they do, they could at least show them.

Screwed by ABC again in Knoxville. Every split telecast, I don't see the Spurs. I also have league pass so it is pretty d@mn irritating. After that Lakers game, I can probably use a game off anyway.

Why the hell is ABC even doing the Spurs game? The northeast, southeast, and west are all seeing the Sonics/Lakers game. Why bother televising the game if it's only going to be shown in a small part of the country?
It doesn't make sense that we would get the Sonics/Lakers game in the northeast, but I guess that's how it goes.
I think ABC's coverage is pretty crappy anyway, and as such, I don't watch very many games on that network. The analysis is crappy.
I miss NBC.

Wait, Noel Felix? Too bad he wasn't signed to a 10 day contract a little later, maybe Kori could have gotten me hooked up for the Spurs game. I want to do a "missmyzte" type report with pics but I don't have contacts like her and can't exactly afford court side seats, much less get my hands on a pass.

Are you fucking kidding me???
Is LA vs. Seattle really going to be aired in the north east????????????????????????
WTF is that????
So basically, the Spurs game is only being aired in Texas...actually, I bet ABC is so cheap that they are only airing the Spurs game in San Antonio and Houston, but the rest of Texas gets to watch Kobe...stupid motherfuckers.
Whoever makes the airing decisions for ABC truly deserves to die, and no I'm not kidding, that person deserves to die.

Hey Kori, I looked around and couldn't find a blank tape. However, I have a tape with a couple of Spurs games from last year I can use. So I'll go ahead and tape the game for you. I'd add the local post-game coverage but there isn't any listed. If you like I could even try to deliver the tape to Noel at one of the Sonics games, I've been planning on hitting a game before the Spurs come to town to check out how my camera reacts with the lighting. As a bonus if there's a little Spurs tape leftover, Noel can check out how a Championship caliber team plays. ;)

The Spurs the champs playing a pretty good team in the Rockets and 90% of the country is seeing the Lakers, what a load of shit. Like anyone gives a fuck about the Lakers on the East coast.
