Fuck I am so pissed... I am moving that day.... ughhhhhh

Great! There is no 12:30 game at all this year. Bleacher Report posted the dates, times and channels for possible slots for games. The earliest game is 3 PM, which I doubt would be us as it is a ABC game.

We would probably be 5:30 or 8 on Saturday on ESPN or same time slot on Sunday except on TNT.

I think most of got our wish of no 12:30 games.

I knew I should have checked out the link before assuming this info was correct. As with anything else on the internet - if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

Well, of course they are. Who else is going to get it? The Western teams aren't going to play games at 10:30 or even 9:30 in the morning when they've got natural night slots for them and any other Eastern team (Cavs, Celts, Heat especially) is going to draw more US viewers than Toronto.

And don't forget our opponent is indy. There isn't a worse team to draw if you want us viewers than indy (other than maybe charlotte). We are the least important series to espn. And I couldn't care less.

League's message to the Raptors:

Are you serious.... god damn it

Not official but that's what he said. He usually has pulse of league. I hope he's wrong.

I guess it shouldn't really be a surprise. We all saw it coming.

The only thing to focus on now, is to not let this be an excuse for a game 1 loss.

I'm OK with the start time being used as an excuse for a game 1 loss, if it's Indy's excuse.
