Enough Already with the 9:30 Start Times

[FromWayDowntown]

Actually, the start times should be earlier because there are no other conference games to contend with and the conference championships aren't on the same network.

I'm pretty sure that Game 5 was the Spurs last 9:30 CDT start. Game 6 is an 8:30 CDT start. If there's a Game 7 in this series, it will be on Sunday afternoon. And I would think that whomever advances to the WCF will be playing games that start sometime around 8 p.m. CDT.

Whats worse is if we advance to the Conference Finals then we have to play in Utah (which is the same as playing in PHO) in relation to game time.

Ugh more 930-1030 games coming up

the start times will be different for the Conference Finals for two reasons:

1. There are only two series left
2. Each Conference Final is exclusively on their respective networks....I believe ABC has the WCF while TNT has the ECF....or I may have that backwards...

Consider yourselves lucky, it's a 9:30 AM start where I'm at. And it ain't on television!

[DDS4]

Glad I live on the West Coast, 7:30/8:00 start times are just fine with me.

2nd.

The left coast is the best when it comes to watching sports.

[Rummpd]

live in DC = brutal but there to the end!

[florige]

9:30??? It's 10:30 here on the East Coast...tip is usually closer to 11...I'm up 'til 2 in the friggin' morning!!!

I feel your pain man. I live in Maryland. It feels alot better after a win though.

[Sam]

Me too man. Went to bed at 1:50 Eastern time only to get up at 8:30 in the morning.

I wish...I stayed up until 2 and got up at 6:15. I hate the west coast start times.

[Mr. Peabody]

I can hardly stay up past the half-time show!!!

If you have Tivo, you can fast-forward live television. Last night, I finished watching the entire game by 10:30 pm.

[Oh, Gee!!]

If you have Tivo, you can fast-forward live television. Last night, I finished watching the entire game by 10:30 pm.

You can make some serious money with a TV like that

Eastern and Western Conference games will probably be on different nights.

[Doug Collins]

Well if you remove the 6.2 billion combined promos for The Closer, House of Payne, Heartland, and Saving Grace the games would only be about 2 hours in length. But TNT seems to think they know drama and therefore want everyone else to pay attention, so consider that a pipe dream.

BTW The new season of The Closer begins Monday June 12th for those that might've missed it.

Im up til about 3 every morning anyway so it doesnt matter to me as far as sleep goes.

I just hate the late start times because of nerves.

[naico]

at what timee does the game start on friday? Nba;com says it's at 8.30 pm, espn says it's at 1.00 pm. Can anybody confirm? Know you guyz are talking about 8.30. But on espn it does say it's at 1.00...

[NoMoneyDown]

Yeah, it's BS. I love the Spurs but I hate the world in the morning if I don't get enough sleep. I get agitated if I don't get at least 7 hours.

Don't have children then.

[bigglendiesel]

Not only that, after all the excitement from a game like last nite... my heart rate won't drop down to my resting heart rate until I've slammed about another 3 beers.... but dammit, then I've gotta pee about 10 times... and now here I am at work... with my Gatorade... on the bright tryna make it... thank God for Friday!!! I can do that!!

It certainly felt like I got 3 hours of sleep
