ABC/ESPN creating new Prime time Saturday Night game package

[thenatural]

(Hopefully) excellent games on a Saturday. Tight....load up on the chicken and beer.

yeah i am to busy being a degenerate on saturday nights to be staying at home watching basketball games

 

[MercuryHayes]

I'm going to be by the time the NBA is properly presented on national tv again.

I wish they could have gotten away from abc/ESPN. They don't give a fukk about the product.

Watch when you're out. 8:30 is a good twilight time

man i miss those NBA on NBC triple headers on Sundays back in the day

 

[SchoolboyC]

I just want flex scheduling, brehs.

Flex scheduling has always been around. It's just been harder to do it for TNT cause there's usually only 2-3 games on those days. Hopefully after the debacles the last two seasons they'll get smarter and schedule more games on Thursdays

fukking gay. Why not have sunday be espn games or better yet tnt. Fukk nba tv. Nba got this wrong.

After football season there needs to be atleast 5 games per weekend on espn\abc. Go hard or go home

There's no need to over saturate the product on national TV

The idea of having a primetime, marquee game Saturday night on ABC is dope

Just sack up and buy League Pass or Ballstreams already

they did this some last season with the Lakers getting flexed out

Yes, that's also what I was getting at. They need to leave themselves some options, even though I know TNT wants to be the only place to watch games that night.

I like the idea. Hate they taking away the double hearder.

I guess we will be seeing a lot of chicago and Cleveland this year

I would not be surprised if it's the first Saturday night game

A saturday night game is great but we still need nba on national tv on sunday. Especially after cfb season is over. Sundays are going to be wack

 

[HoopLife]

They've picked good games i.e. prime time GSW, Cavs games

 

[MJ Truth]

As someone who can afford NBA League Pass I don't care who plays on what station.

but like i said, the nba could have those slots to other networks where the potential to gain new viewers/fans is higher.

You're right, it would be interesting to see them on NBC
