NBA to consider playing west coast games earlier to accommodate Lebron

[Serious]

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.

This is what I do now.

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.

I mean thats cool for you. You just gotta understand the NBA would continue losing alot of money pandering to east coast watchers who stay up late (or are insomniacs)

and that also isnt the case with many games. many people find out a game is interesting after it's started. Some narrative or cool thing makes people tune in. Due to games starting late, you dont even have a chance with this audience cause they're already sleep

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

I dont personally care about the NFL but CST is pretty dope. You can watch NBA games with a chance at getting some sleep by the time they finish, and shyt just comes on an hour early universally. Everything is built around EST and we get to eat early.

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

Sounds like a personal problem. Get your money up, nikka:bronfoh:

 

[KillbertArenas]

East Coast >>> rest of world

 

[Ashyneezz]

Yeah, please dont tell me the league doesnt try to help this nikka succeed

By "this nikka" I'm guessing you mean Lebron...how exactly does this help Lebron succeed? This move was made to bring the league money

shytty thread title steering away from what Silver said.

 

[McPiff]

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.

It has nothing to do with accommodating bron in any shape or form, but this thecoli.
Lebron garners plat threads and shyt.

And you still have bum ass ignorant c00ns falling for it

 

[-DMP-]

So you was watching them before?

Guess I should've clarified. I use to live in the central time zone in college. So games came on an hour earlier plus I didn't have as set of a schedule.

Most of y'all don't watch the NBA regular season sans a few games, so why the complaints?

you're right.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

He really that blatant w/it huh
Having nikkas come on at 10:30 is absurd

Its been like this for YEARS. I didn't see people complaining when Kobe & Shaq were running shyt in the 2000s.

Adam Silver says the NBA will consider playing West Coast games earlier: 'It is something we can address'

"Face it, LeBron is one of the biggest stars in the world, and he also played in the East," Silver added. "And so, the reason I look a little bit tired is a lot of our games are in the West, and it's late at night. And I recognize most people choose to go to sleep at a reasonable time. And so, from a rating standpoint, not having LeBron in the playoffs, not having him in the East, has clearly impacted ratings."

Personally, I don't think its fair to have people in the west coast rush to games from work..

Because Kobe, Shaq, Sac-Town, Dream, Chuck's Suns, Jailblazers, Seattle Sonics - all didn't play 10:30 pm games. And this was a time when the previous adults also had work in the AM. It's no excuse.

Western conference games were mostly at 9:00, 5:30 on the weekend and the occasional 9:30.

And how accommodating is the NBA to us West Coast Brehs with games that start at 4pm?

It’s not supposed to be, but I’m not arguing for y’all to start your games earlier.
