NBA has been catching alot of flak about time between games in the first round. Maybe they are bowing to the heat...
So far Lakers/Thunder is the only series not like that...
Game 1 - Sun April 18 OKC at L.A. Lakers 3:00PM ABC/R
Game 2 - Tue April 20 OKC at L.A. Lakers 10:30PM TNT
Game 3 - Thu April 22 L.A. Lakers at OKC 9:30PM TNT
Game 4 - Sat April 24 L.A. Lakers at OKC 9:30PM ESPN/R
Game 5 * Tue April 27 OKC at L.A. Lakers TBD TBD TBD
Game 6 * Fri April 30 L.A. Lakers at OKC TBD TBD TBD
Game 7 * Sun May 2 OKC at L.A. Lakers TBD TBD TBD
Good that it starts Sunday and at night. I believe it'll be the last series to get underway, so it gives Hill as much time as possible to rest. If he doesn't play game one, with game two not being until Wednesday, he'll have gotten a full week of rest while only missing one game.
Sucks as far as having to go to work the following day, but def. digging the Sun. night start to give the good guys some extra rest.
Why does this not surprise me?
They play every other day.
Favorable more to the Thunder than the Lakers...
Looks like Phoenix got screwed the worst scheduling wise.
Game 1 - Sun April 18 Portland at Phoenix 10:30PM ESPN
Game 2 - Tue April 20 Portland at Phoenix 10:00PM TNT
Game 3 - Thu April 22 Phoenix at Portland 10:00PM NBATV
Game 4 - Sat April 24 Phoenix at Portland 4:30PM TNT
Game 5 * Mon April 26 Portland at Phoenix TBD TBD TBD
Game 6 * Thu April 29 Phoenix at Portland TBD TBD TBD
Game 7 * Sat May 1 Portland at Phoenix TBD TBD TNT
looks almost like the Lakers Thunder series.
Good, no NBATV bull like last year. Games 5 and 6 are TBD, though I would assume they wouldn't do that for a game late in the series. But you never know.
So the Spurs and Mavs get 2 days off between Games 1 and 2 and play every other day for the rest of the series; Lakers and Thunder play every other day for the first four and get 2 days off for the remainder of the series; and Phoenix and Portland play every other day until after Game 5, where they have two days off in between 6 and 7 (if necessary).Looks like Phoenix got screwed the worst scheduling wise.
Game 1 - Sun April 18 Portland at Phoenix 10:30PM ESPN
Game 2 - Tue April 20 Portland at Phoenix 10:00PM TNT
Game 3 - Thu April 22 Phoenix at Portland 10:00PM NBATV
Game 4 - Sat April 24 Phoenix at Portland 4:30PM TNT
Game 5 * Mon April 26 Portland at Phoenix TBD TBD TBD
Game 6 * Thu April 29 Phoenix at Portland TBD TBD TBD
Game 7 * Sat May 1 Portland at Phoenix TBD TBD TNT
Normally I'd like the Spurs to have a couple more days in between games as the series wears, but the 2 days between Games 1 and 2 might actually be better with the Hill injury.
It's going to be a tough series, the Mavs are rightfully favorites, but I'm hoping to see that championship core, the Big 3, playing the way they're capable of now that they're relatively healthy.
Whatever the result ... I just don't wanna feel like I did last year: like my team just got mercifully put down.
There is parking literally across the street from the entrance, and you have to have a parking pass for it (sorry do not know lot #). I always give the guy a $20 and he lets me park there!
As for seating, I know you want to sit behind the bench, but if you are going for 2 games, check out the Platinum seating for one game. It is really nice there.
Happy birthday, timvps.
nice week rest for Manu + Duncan
TNT
Nice.....
Does anyone local know if Sean/Bill Land will be covering these games? I hate watching the national coverage. I prefer the homers.
