The Spurs actually play a lot of week-night games with a 7:00 PM start time. If you have to go to work early or have kids, it's amazing the difference 30 minutes earlier makes...especially when battling traffic afterward.

Those games are almost always the TNT games. The usual start time for weekday home games in 2007-08 has been 7:30 again. The 7:00 experiment from 2006-07 was largely abandoned.

I have no idea why IND/SA was a 7:00 start, other than maybe a desire to get a little more time between tonight's game and tomorrow night's game.

True, not always. ESPN has some too. There was a Miami game on a Wed. night, also a Bucks game on a Sun. night and there is the Jazz game coming in April. I believe New Orleans and Portland and several other teams start quite a few of their home games at 7:00.
