Good switch. I'm glad they're at least a little flexible on their schedule.

[ducks]

that is great for you people
however driving 3 hours after the game makes it a LONGER NIGHT for me

[exstatic]

Sorry, ducks. I wasn't really even referring to the times, just the game switch. Drive safely.

I'll bet there are more than a few people in the league office who wish they could change the actual February 16th game to Spurs vs. Suns rather than just juggling the TV schedule around. The Spurs meet New Orleans (2-28) four times this year and only face Phoenix (28-4) thrice? Someone in scheduling just got fired. :smokin

[Rummpd]

Thats great if we beat Suns 1 more time have a tie breaker advantage!

9:30 CDT? Holy shit that's late. That'll be past Beno's curfew.

[boutons]

T2nd and 3rd vs. PHX are both @PHX. I'd love 3-0, but I'll settle for 2-1.

First SUNS- SPURS game should have been nationally broadcast.Only game in SAN ANTONIO this year against the SUNS.We will not meet them in the playoffs.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

hopefully the game will be put in Hi-Def, but Espn insist on showing the Laker vs. Rockets games in hi-def instead

dont be stupid if you try to drive home at twelve from phoenix to san antonio you'll wind up in a ditch somewhere because you fell asleep at the wheel, you would be better off flying ducks, there are great airline rates right now anyway.

I'm pretty sure we only go against them three times this year, because of the new division rules. Unfortunately, two of those games ARE @ PHX, which didn't seem very fair to me either when I first heard it but eh...

More the reason to lay the smack down. :fro

[SequSpur]

Thanks for the update, I'll put it down on my calendar.

I was going to say rates on hotels are cheap, but its winter and the snowbirds come out so they range from 49 to 99 depending on where you stay, but its a couple weeks in advance, you may be able to find something

Why would you guys prefer to be on a national broadcast when it's a sure thing you will lose to the best team in the NBA right now.

It would have been better to play the sorry Hornets and win than to play the hot Suns and lose.

Just my opinion.

Don't even get me started on the lack of ESPN HD games.

I think I've seen ONE game this season in HD on ESPN [I know there have been more - but I'm not always at home (with the HDTV) during the ESPN broadcasts] and it was a Knicks-Pistons game at MSG.

God Bless TNT for their HD broadcasts.

Wouldn't be a weekend without a smart-ass comment from a fallen fan.

Welcome back, LG.

BTW, I have to give you some credit. I didn't hear you bitch and whine about the most advertised game in the history of the NBA this past Christmas Day being a nationally broadcast Laker loss.
