Clipper games can start earlier, especially on a sunday.

I get lebron is a big draw but put him on tnt. There's no reason ABC has 2 games of the worse 1st round series. It makes no sense.

On a Sunday? Maybe, depending on who else is playing. But during a weekday? No. They aren't gonna start games at 4-5 PM over there just so it can be more convenient for lazy ass East coast fans.

Lol. This is about ratings. LeBron is the biggest draw in the NBA. That's why he gets the ABC slots. As long as the game gets great ratings they couldn't care less if it's a blowout. And if you have all the channels the games are airing on, then I really don't see why it matters to you at all.

fukk the scheduling cause all the best games gon start at like 9:30. They need to play the western conference games at 7 est and the east whenever. Wasting prime time on the wack ass east like nikkas ain't got work in the morning. :scust:














I hate eastern time zone it's the worst :mjcry:

ATL…overly
Also, why in the hell is the spurs and clippers on SUNDAY AT 10:30 PM :mindblown:

This is the best 1st round series and you put them on at 10:30 on a sunday night where 70% of your audience will be in bed before halftime.

Why didn't they put them on at 3:30 Sunday and move the games to start earlier.

No way in hell should the cavs and celtics EVER be on ABC. That's going to be a sweep.

Whoever is scheduling this shyt needs to be fired.

Boston has a huge media presence & fanbase, Bron is the league's biggest star and the Cavs are a title threat, why wouldn't they be on primetime for a national TV audience?

SA/LAC is a great matchup but it's getting a primetime audience for the West Coast, primarily for LA.

Scheduling ain't perfect but y'all complain about everything :camby:

It should be the best team regardless. The best matchups

Why couldn't we go with this

Saturday
Celtics at cavs 12 30
Mavs at rockets 3.30
Bucks at bulls 6
Pels at warriors 9

Sunday
Wiz at raps 1200
Nets at haws 300
Portland at memphis 5.30
Spurs at clippers 8

If you haven't noticed the early games on a playoff Saturday with multiple games are usually the games that get the least amount of views and are less popular matchups. Celtics/Cavs is a marquee matchup based on what I posted in my previous post so no way that would be on at 12:30. Bucks/Bulls would be the early game followed by Cavs/Celtics then Mavs/Rockets then Warriors/Pelicans. I agree with your Sunday lineup

It's bad enough that it's such an overly predictable league where you know who's gonna win most series but to drag these series out weeks is awful

All the other leagues have much better playoffs then the nba all are more unpredictable playoffs that aren't as dragged out
