The nine o clock start time is a big thumbs down for me

Been more than 14 years since I got outta NE Ohio. And I don't miss those 9 p.m. starts. 7:00 is much better.

Yes my sleep schedule has changed since

I've also bitched about that and the world series starting so late for quite some time.

You want younger viewers? 9 o clock? Sweet

For the fantasy footballers (and gamblers). Saints wr Michael Thomas isn't playng this weekend.

Yeah starting at the game 430 pst or 5 pst when people are still at work on the west coast definitely would make a lot of sense......

Population baby

75 percent are central or east. Hell almost half is East

A game finishing at 1030 or before cst isn't the end of the world. That isn't even late. As for the east coast, if you can't make a sacrifice to stay up 11ish 3 or 4x then maybe you're not a big basketball fan

The nba do their best. There's a reason why 4 of the games are scheduled on a Friday or Sunday and the Sunday games start at 730 est

6pm is the best start time.

 

[bksballer89]

You just can't start a finals game in the middle of the week at 430 or 5 pst when the west representative often plays in PST

For me personally it's always been work related

At the current juncture that's just not an option most nights.

But again my point has largely been about young viewers

You're just not a big basketball fan! Don't use work as an excuse.

 

[trojanfan12]

Can we play game 2 first?

No.

Fair point on the weekend tips

It's funny because since the invent of daily fantasy I'm more into the first two rounds and regular season lol

If I have a rooting interest (LeBron the first three times in Cleveland most recent ) I'm all in on the finals but I can't seem to get too pumped for this one.

What the Heat have achieved is very impressive. I don't expect them to beat the Lakers.

Miami's chances of pulling off the upset now are slim to none.

I hate seeing teams fight so hard to get to the top and then get smacked by the injury bug

It's Friday!

 

[Stakesarehigh]

It's Friday!

I will be up for this one lol

Speaking of finals and world series this season just smacks of a world series win for the Marlins and the second most undeserving fan base in the majors.
