NBA Finals on NBC? pe ion?

**lefty** · 03-30-2007

Guys, do you think if it's possible to start a pe ion to get the NBA back to NBC? I can't stand ABC (except for Hubie Brown, he is a fine analyst) anymore ; it has gotten worse since they have added those singing cheeleaders

TNT is nice for regular season and other playoffs games.

But for the Finals, I want NBC ; every time I watch old Finals games, I cry.

Btinck Marv Albert and Bob Costas back!!!!!

the only thing I want changed about TNT is to not get beaten over the head with constant promos for The Closer. After two years of seeing that 8000 times a game, I officially would rather put a pistol to my mouth than watch that in' show. I don't care how good the show is.

remember "Into the West" a couple years back?

Also a pe ion will do nothing as ABC has a contract. And believe it or not, but Disney not the NBA holds the rights to NBA.com

TNT ing rules! It's ESPN & ABC that are the problem. I remember back then it was TNT on Tuesdays, TBS on Wed, and NBC on Sundays (after college football). Then, the playoffs would be (1st round) 4 games per weekdays (2 on TNT and 2 on TBS simultaneously), and NBC would get weekend games, and the Finals.

How about "NBA Finals in the Alamodome" pe ion? Could you imagine what it would have been like in the Dome for game 7 vs the Pistons in the Finals? Or even game 7 vs Dallas last year? , take down the blue curtain and open the er up!

I remember back when NBC had the NBA everybody ed about them. They called it "NBA/C" and whined that it might as well be the KCAL local broadcast in LA.

Little did we all know how much worse it could be.

I've always loved the NBA on NBC... I long for another Triple-Header Sunday.

There's very little I miss about the NBA on NBC. I can't honestly say I miss any NBA broadcast that employs Bob Costas, Bill Walton, Ahmad Rashad, and Peter Vescey. It's a sad thing when you can say that the best part of the show was a piece of John Tesh music. Don't get me wrong, ABC/ESPN's presentation sucks balls as well, but I fear that it is still somehow better than NBC's was.
