Please no 12:30 pm start times for home playoff games.

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.

Don't get too excited. The exact same schedule was posted in advance of last year's playoffs, and we still ended up with the 12:30 game. I personally will keep holding my breath until we have confirmed start times for each specific matchup.

Lol you're thinking is just in line with mine. We need every advantage we can get. We 100% need to win game 1. We have to get ahead not be chasing. To win a series you must put yourself in a position to win.

We will be on ESPN.. I don't think ABC would want to venture to Canada. That being said, we will probably be at 5:30.

Man we are the most whining 2nd seed ever.

Speaking for myself, wanting a later game time has nothing to do with the Raptors' performance. It's all about being able to watch and enjoy the game more. Not that I personally have anything against beers at noon, but most of my friends have young kids and that might be frowned upon.

nah, they'll give us the 12:30 game. even if there wasn't originally intended to be one, they'll make an exception.

lol.

Can't really blame the networks if they give us a fucked up start time in the 1st round.

Our audience numbers in the states would be pretty shitty and Indy/Detroit wouldn't be much better.

[Letter N]

Ya it's a shitty but completely understandable situation. US networks don't like giving up half their revenue for a game and if they're forced to then they'll make sure it takes a backseat to all their other games.

If they make it into the 2nd round or play a big market team like NY or Chicago that could change, but que sera, no use in getting angry about a minor problem that both teams have to deal with.

So much so that they short circuit game clocks and shit just to mess with us.

When you have young kids you make mixed drinks

I personally would love a 12:30 start time... so I can make it to the game and not have to take the entire shift off. Leave that for when/If we get deeper into the playoffs.
