Game 1 date and time?

[KEDA]

I checked NBA.com and I didnt see it.

[metalzo]

It's definitely this Saturday and Nola.com and other local sites are reporting that it's 9 PM CST: http://blog.nola.com/hornetsbeat/2008/04/hornets_playing_late_game_in_b.html

9 p.m., Saturday.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That's a BRUTAL time.

It should be like 3:30 pm on saturday.

Everyone will be out partying on a saturday night so you lose all of your "casual basketball" viewers

Dude, half the country thats not even late saturday night. You know the nation hates the Spurs anyway.

The fewer day games the better.

[Kori Ellis]

9pm is a sweet time. I'm sure the Spurs didn't want the early game.

(By the way, the league hasn't officially released the time yet.)

[sa_kid20]

That's cool. I don't like the day games.

[SequSpur]

wtf? who cares what time it is.....

[SequSpur]

Some of you bitch about the dumbest fucking things... how in the shit do you make it through the day, I have no got damn clue.

[Avitus1]

I just want to know the times for the games in SA.

How do you figure thats a better time? Most people are out and doing things on a Saturday afternoon.

[Sausage]

It's confirmed on Spurs.com that the start time is Saturday at 9PM, but yet the dates for the rest of the games are TBA.

take your chill pill, dude.

[spursfan09]

Dude thats awesome! I have a final on Sat at 10:30 in the morn. (Yes I'm serious on a Sat). I will probably stay up the whole night Friday studying and now I can sleep before the game. Don't you just love it when things work out like that for ya?

It is not about viewers, yuou know how hate we developed out there, probably next game will be @ midnite ... for the record you have add 2 hours in ARG :wow

[Jimcs50]

Fantastic. I am going toHouston Sat afternoon and will not be back til 10 pm, I was worried that I would miss the game...now i can watch it delayed and speed through the commercials to catch up.

[CosmicCowboy]

Excellent! I've got a bunch of stuff to do at the ranch Saturday and was afraid they would make it the first game...

[SpursIndonesia]

Hmm, nice, 9 PM ET, that should be Sunday 9 AM Borneo's time, if the game is aired by local TV, i might be able to catch it on site without having to go on a 3 hrs one way trip to Balikpapan, East Kalimantan major city where satellite broadcasting is available.

You sure you don't want to start a thread with this thought?? :rolleyes

[TheThinkingMan]

I think it's a great time!

[MrChug]

take your chill pill, dude.

[CP3_Bourbon_St.]

So the game comes on at 8 then?

[Sausage]

I'm pretty sure we're in the same time zone.. which would make it 9 pm.

[ancestron]

I checked Spurs.com and it says 9 pm. Which means 9 pm central time, not Eastern time.

[ThriveForFive]

Any idea on a game 2 time? Or is it still dependent on the other series which are yet to finish?

[Sausage]

I think they are waiting for the other series. I would like to know also as I want to get tickets to game 3 or 4 if its during the weekend.

[ForeignFan]

Fuck ! That is 4 am French time !!!

[FromWayDowntown]

I bit the bullet. I have tickets in hand for Game 1.

I'll admit to fearing the karma a bit on this one: I have attended 6 Spurs road games (5 playoff games (Game 4 @ LAL in 2003, Game 3 @ LAL in 2004, Game 4 @ SEA in 2005, Game 3 @ SAC in 2006, Game 3 @ DAL in 2006) and 1 regular season game (4/1/07 @ IND)) and never seen the Spurs win -- although the last 3 times have all been maddening 1 point losses (Kevin Martin's layup to beat the buzzer; the Joey Fouls Out Duncan game in Dallas; and Tinsley's driving layup after Manu missed a FT with 6 seconds to go).

I'm going popdamnit. I'm going.

[duncan228]

I'm going popdamnit. I'm going.

Have a blast FWD. I hope this is the one that they get a win for you. :)

Make sure you do something really rude to the "Peja head" things they are giving out...a big sharpie marker might come in handy.

[spurs_2108]

Why would they start the next round when there are still a few series to rap up? We will be playing on Saturday night and some game 7's will be on Sunday... Doesn't make much sense.

[sprrs]

I'll tell you how we don't get through the day, by bitching about other people's bitching.

[Sammy's Mom]

1/2 of our family is happy about this game time. I will be getting off of work and Jim will be going to work.

I am excited for another GTG with my playoff family!

[FilSpursFan]

If it is 9pm ET, that should be 9am Phil Time.... good, I should be back from church by then... Yahooooo!!!!!
