As soon as anyone hears the dates announced please post!
Just got 2 tickets to Game B.
Who else is going???
I've got tickets to game 1 and 2.
But I have a huge problem if the 1st is on saturday, I'll probably have to drive all night in order to make it to SA on time.
If it's on Sunday, then it's smooth cruising all the way
SO yes as soon as it's official let us know
More than likely it'll be on saturday at probobly like 5 o clock.
my guess is game one is Sunday at 3 on ABC
The more I look at the time slots available, we may very well end up in the 9:30pm Saturday slot...
Only other option for the 9:30 Saturday game would be Houston/Utah
Ticketmaster.com will probably have the dates as early as tomorrow. On another note, for SA people that don't have tix yet, there are still some badass lowers and uppers available.
the game will not be at 930
9:30? In San Antonio??? Nah...
Nobody knows yet. You all might as well say I think its going to be @ 8:34 am on Sunday morn.
Lakers/Nuggets have to play at 9:30, and another Western series has to play in the 9:30 slot
Sunday is my guess as well. Noon game maybe?
9:30? In San Antonio??? Nah...
Nobody knows yet. You all might as well say I think its going to be @ 8:34 am on Sunday morn.
Tentative NBA Playoffs Schedule
FIRST ROUND - BEST OF SEVEN (2-2-1-1-1)
Sat April 19 ABC 3:00 + ESPN 5:30, 8:00 & 10:30
Sun April 20 ABC 3:00 + TNT 5:30, 8:00 & 10:30
they gotta fill in those slots some how... some team in the central time zone will get stuck with a 9:30 game unless the NBA moves the times around
I thought I saw on ESPN 1/8 and 4/5 seeds play Saturday. 2/7 and 3/6 play Sunday.
I could be mistaken. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
Spurs/Suns are the best matchup of RD 1 with the most star power and storylines that will for sure be the Sun afternoon ABC game.

"The Suns and Spurs tip off on Saturday afternoon in San Antonio."
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=280416021
/\/\/\/\ I hope that's true. Thanks though, JS
This is from the MYSA Article:
Instead, they will open at home against Phoenix Saturday at 2 p.m
http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/b...r.3ec72e6.html
yah no problem... I don't know how credible it is, but just thought I would post it anyway.
the 2pm afternoon saturday game after the first game played of the day.
Typical typical.
Duncan won't like it though
He sure won't.Duncan won't like it though
Have we ever had a "Game Dates Thread?" Play the F'n playoffs already!!!!
Suns.com says:
(That's Noon Phoenix time.)The Suns open the playoffs in San Antonio on Saturday (Noon, ABC) with Game 2 on Tues. The series then shifts to Phoenix for Games 3 and 4 on April 25 and 27.
That Game 4 better not be an early game on Sunday the 27th after the Friday night game!
2 days off after game 1, some good rest for the old guys like Fin.
then it goes, friday sunday?
If NEC game 5 I asssume would be tuesday and game 6 thursday and game 7 saturday.
ill say game 2 will be an 8:30 TNT special with like Dallas and New orleans playing the 6:30 tip.
