Game 1 will be Sunday

[look_at_g_shred]

noon games. I agree with Timmy; they miss with my biorhythm too. I want Saturday night or Sunday afternoon.

So you hate noon games, yet you want a noon game?

Afternoon

It's possible depending on whether ABC televises two or three games on Sunday. If there's only two, chance are unlikely. Boston/New York will occupy one of those time slots and Miami/Milwuakee will most likely occupy the other. Next week is when you'll see a Lakers/Spurs game on ABC. That's when all the celebs come out of the woodwork looking for their two seconds of facetime. I struggle to see a Spurs home game televised on ABC unless its Saturday, but who knows.

If the most lop-sided matchup of the playoffs merits one of the ABC slots, the NBA has officially jumped the shark.

How many folks outside of the Heat fanbase want to see the Bucks get hammered unconsciously.

As long as it's not on Saturday then it won't seem like an '11 repeat.

My guess for Sunday is

Lakers vs SA/OKC - 2:30
New York vs Boston - 6:00

and the other two remaining games HOU vs whoever they play and Brooklyn vs Chicago are a toss up between 12 and 8:30.

If Lakers lose tonight:

Sunday:
Knicks-Celtics: noon ABC
Lakers-OKC: 2:30 ABC
Chicago-Brooklyn: 6pm TNT
Spurs-Rockets: 8pm TNT

Duncan has hated noon games all his career, saying that they mess with his biorhythm. But we would complain if it was Saturday night as well, because
we would say that everyone needs more rest.

Why not start the blame game now? Why wait until performance determines anything?

We all know that if we produce anything short of a championship that Parker will be blamed for it, and since none of us expect too much from the team at this point (partly because Parker is playing so poorly for whatever reason --health, cowardice, laziness--pick your reason because he has been accused of each and will be again) let's just get it out in the open now.


THE SPURS WON'T WIN THIS YEAR BECAUSE TONY PARKER HAS LET THEM DOWN AGAIN.

Should really cut through a lot of posts that will essentially say the same thing.

Ease on the butthurt son, ease on it.

The NBA is a global game. It isn't about the score or the matchup, it's about Lebron. Besides, it gives ABC an excuse to talk about Lebron for a full two + hours.

[Sean Cagney]

Both. Low expectations, but hope for one more "miracle" run to glory.

BANG!!!!!!!!!!

[Sean Cagney]

That team went into the playoffs RED HOT! Totally different scenario but yes they were usually known to choke in the playoffs.

[spurs1990]

And I spoke too soon. Houston clobbering LA.

Just hope our series won't be relegated to NBA TV!
