On the TV schedule on espn.com it says the game Friday night in LA is gonna be televised, is this true?? I would have thought people would be talking about it on here if it were the case but I haven't seen anything

For sure there will be a game on ESPN that starts at 9:30 as it is NBA Friday on ESPN. If they decide not to show the Bucks/Lakers the only other 2 possible options are the Grizzlies @ Warriors and Mavs @ Sonics (which I wouldn't doubt if ESPN changed it to that game)

Our one time on national TV for who knows how many years. Hope we give the kind of effort we have the last two nights and not like we did in Denver and Detroit. That would be so embarassing.

I think our last national tv game was 2 years ago against the Bulls....

I hope we play well. The country deserves to see some other teams on TV once in a while.

Aside from the playoff games, but I think three of those games were on NBATV.

This game's on TV in Australia too, keeping in line with Australian basketball's policy of showing nothing but Lakers, Heat, Spurs and Cavs games.

That's not just australia buddy. It's basically the same here.

I wonder why ESPN put this game on the schedule? Is it cause Redd dropped 40+ last year in LAL or is it cause this is Yi's first trip to LAL.

Because it's the Lakers. Bucks have little to no reason for this. Yi would be the only thing I can think of.

But of all the Lakers games to televise, why the Bucks? They wouldn't televise the Lakers vs the T-Wolves, Hawks, or 76ers so why the Bucks.

Usually every team gets 1 national game per season.

I just hope we don't lay an egg in front of a national audience. Can you imagine how bad Redd wants to shoot bad fade aways by now?
