any early games?

Seems like we haven't had a single game start early this season. I miss the days when playoff games would start in the morning, or at least by noon. seems like everything is about the money now. But it seems like more people would watch if the games were early rather then later. Is there a game the rest of the season that starts at noon and is a home game?

The main reason for having early games is national TV coverage....we are no longer good enough to get on national TV. Thus no early games.

I have to say, you have some of the most bizarre rants I've ever seen on a basketball message board.

go river plate beat boca jrs! its an early game and its live.

I know I havent watched an "early" game in about 5 years. I just don't wake up early...and I don't want to either. Early games can go to hell in a hand basket for all I care......hehe So, the less earl games the Blazers play, the better.

I just remember as a kid watching blazer games on sundays at like noon. those were the days. Even with a winning team, it will never be like it use to be for this team and the nba. The players have pretty much runined the game for alot of people.

without the players there would be no games

yeah, and with these players there will be no games. Way to many players concerned about their contracts rather then just going out and playing hard. It is an insult to all the players before them. I think they need to tear the league apart and start over. The best years for me we the 80's and early 90's, when players were paid but not over paid like today. I mean 15 million dollars to go play basketball and to say a team is insulting a player by only offering 10 mil a season. it makes me sick.

then stop watching

I have. thanks for the advice btw.

i remmeber when NBC would have games from 9 in the morning til 6 in the evening on Sundays. Those were the days. Now it's ABC one game in the morning and one on ESPN during the evening. I am not missing Family Guy/Simpsons just for NBA games.

tradetheo then why complain and why post on a nba board if you stopped watching games? it does not make any sense why you would waste your time to post about a sport you have stopped watching?

I still watch every once in ahwile. Just not like I use to , because of the reasons I listed. I am sick of the way the nba is. I honestly don't know how others can still watch it and not be disgusted.

Go Pistons!
