NBA to consider playing west coast games earlier to accommodate Lebron

[pete clemenza]

West Coast nikkas got it so good when it comes to sports.

Nothing like waking up Sunday morning and the pregame shows is already on.

They’re used to it, but when you’re an East Coast nikka used to our Sunday schedule that shyt is heavenly.

Plus you can get all the games in and still have time to hit the beach/function after they go off.

Central has the best when it comes to Sunday football imo at 12 noon. You can get handle some biz, or exercise, or get breakfast, church, sleep in, recover from a hangover, or whatever.. Then be ready at noon for football

Man, in a perfect world these games would start at 7-8 and I can be in my Snuggie and snoozing by 10-11 like usual.

 

[Paper Boi]

is this accommodating lebron or accommodating the entire east coast who only watches when he plays?

i'm not reading the article so tell me if this is literally for lebron (not even sure how that makes sense) or just another #colinarrative

it's not like lebron controls the minds of the east coast nba audience that couldn't stay up for west coast games.

This is probably only for ESPN/TNT/ABC games tbh.

Pretty much. It'll most likely be for the primetime games during the week, and when the playoffs start.

Cant front i for sure watched less Bron this year. i think even starting 30 mins earlier helps everyone

Baseball games start at 6 all the time

The Cubbies game tonight started at 6 Chicano time

The Cubs are different. They didn’t start having night games until 1988. Everyone else starts at 7pm local time.

I already can’t watch Sunday games cause I’m in church, if weekday games coming on earlier than 5:30-6 man...

Just do that shiet for LLLakers games
Who gives a shiet

You're the minority bro. For that time during the 2nd Cleveland LeBron stint, the East was only getting less interesting, while the West was more interesting. Yet ratings for the West games was in the shytter. Appealing to the more loyal watchers at their timeslot makes more sense

If the games are interesting people will make time for it.

As an insomniac there isn’t anything better than west coast games. I was raised on the mariners and dodgers.

Start west coast games at 9 when the 7:30 East games are done.

I used to watch multiple games but I've got a life to live and west coast games finishing at 1 AM helps nobody.

Not everyone is trying to be an adult. Some of us also work night shift.

This LeBron move to LA has been disaster for everyone involved. Nightmare continues

I want this fakkitt off my team so bad..

This is even worse than my wildest nightmares

 

[THE MACHINE]

fukk all that. How are fans in LA supposed to get to a game that starts at 5-6pm? It's called TRAFFIC

Unfortunately they don't give a damn about audience attendance. They'll trade 5k fans in the stands showing up late for 200k more eyes on tv.

 

[ryderldb]

fukk that

 

[Serious]

Exactly, I go to games. It would be hard as fukk to get off round 5pm and try to get to Staples or anyone hitting up a west coast arena before 7pm


East coast

half the time people the crowd isn't even there by tip off. That's why the 1st quarter be looking


It also takes away from playing in a home-front atmosphere if the stands are
