Not surprised at all sons. Its all about tv ratings for the NBA to make big money and the Spurs are a ratings nightmare. Boring team to watch
I think it means I will be stuck with Bill Land.Best thing about the play-offs is being able to watch the coverage on a national channel.

LOL best game going on.
Intense and highly watchable. OP fails.
It's still on NBATV. There's a thread in the main forum where a spurfan is upset b/c he doesn't have NBATV and can't watch his team.
It looked good. HD and all...
2009, actually.
Lakers played no one that year.
TV smack . . . good stuff.It's still on NBATV. There's a thread in the main forum where a spurfan is upset b/c he doesn't have NBATV and can't watch his team.
Good job NBA. How'd that OKC - DEN game work out for your ratings tonight?
There's gonna be a few games there... including at least one Mavs-Portland...

TNT is a part of most basic cable packages, as are ESPN and ESPN2. NBATV, like HBO for basketball fans, is a premium station you have to pay for in addition to basic cable pacakages. It is, for instance, not available through my cable company in my area. The least popular matchups are relegated to less viewership because it is a smaller audience. Therefore, the NBA doesn't put the marquee matchups on the network because they could draw a larger audience. The average fan is a diehard fan of the NBA and is more likely to watch a less popular matchup. You will never see a Lebron James/Kobe Bryant matchup on NBATV.
The top playoff seeds are often relegated to NBATV, especially if it is a non-compe ive matchup. That is why San Antonio and Chicago both have games on NBATV. It is assumed (and both Indiana and Memphis has disproved that thus far) that the games will be blowouts and therefore will not draw a large audience. The top seeds will be seen again when they have a better opponent. Meanwhile, Boston and New York, with a lot of buzz, will never touch NBATV. Denver and Oklahoma City will never be on NBATV because it is seen as a compe ive matchup. Portland/Dallas will not be on NBATV for the same reason. The NBA wants to draw as much of an audience as possible because it translates into more money. Therefore, it is a sign of a bad matchup and a boring playoff game to be on the network when the NBA wants to draw as much of an audience as possible. Still, in years past, the games simply would not be broadcast or they would stretch out the first round to broadcast the most games possible. Having NBATV is a benefit, especially if you can afford it and it is available in your area.
Dear Mr. Basedow,It's still on NBATV. There's a thread in the main forum where a spurfan is upset b/c he doesn't have NBATV and can't watch his team.
Your latest youtube blog has literally saved my life. I was about ready to off myself because of verbal bullying, but then I saw your video, took some john-ism's to heart, and have come out a much more confident person. Your account of the problems the "ginger" was having were infinitely helpful as well. John, your work is vital. Thank you sincerely for being the saint you are!
