    Why can't they have the tipoff between 7 and 7:15? I work nights so I missed most of the 4th quarter so I had to listen to the coverage beamed from san antonio to iowa as i drove into work.

    It's just not me, I'm sure those that have to work at 7 am in the central and eastern time zones probably didn't watch the whole game unless you're a spurs/pistons fan.

    Not a good way to promote the game unless they were aiming at a pacific time audience. Same gripe about the world series.

    You think its bad, that was 9:15 for us in Detroit. The game didnt get done until almost midnight. Half time was exactly at 10:30, the time the ECF usually ended. I think all the games should start at 8:00 Est unless and Pac time zone team is playing, then maybe start it at 9:00 Est.

    But doesn't it seem rediculous when the eastern time zone probably won't watch the culmanation of the nba season? Maybe they wanted to have everybody watch the crap will smith is pushin on us now.

    I was hopin he would get booed like ashlee simpson did in the bcs bowl game last year.

    That Canadian chick can't see for . Who cares if she was naturalized? At her tax bracket, she probably did it for tax reasons, rather than love for This Great Murderous Country of Ours.

    Same here. I'm not displeased...ok just a little. But I was thinkin more along the lines of promoting the nba. Just pointing something out that seemed stupid to me.

    Ya like the one person said, it could be worse..I didn't get home last night until around 1:30. They care about whats better for the NBA fan, not whats better for the Spurs and Piston Fan. Oh well.

    Slomo,

    It's great that you're still a fan even when Rasho and Beno are riding pine. You're a great Spurs fan.

    i will admit it would be nicer to have some games on fri or sat night,
    but i guess abc thinks that's would kill the ratings or something...

    I was a fan before Rasho joined - and don't have any plans to jump ship

    Clandestino: you are right it's no problem after a win
