For the record, even if you aren't paying for NBATV, they're offering a free preview right now through May 4th.

NBA TV's post game coverage is fantastic.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Hey if the TV execs got their way we would not be seeing most of the Magic games. The only reason they are all on is the NBA Channel.
The Magic are considered a bad draw for ratings and advertising dollars. Toronto doesn't count in the ratings because they are out of the country and Orlando is midlevel city.
We talked about this before, but some people forgot.
So instead of screaming at the NBA praise them instead.

ditto the setiments. I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the coverage from start to finish. But still I think its pathetic that a playoff game is on NBA TV.

David Stern sucks. The NBA sucks. SUNY Fredonia sucks for not carrying nbatv.


Two things don't blame the NBA blame the networks.

The other thing SUNY Fredonia is considered one of the best schools in the State University of New York system. It is very hard to get into you actually have to have a brain to get into. Now SUNY Brockport is a very different story. :o

At least in the second round they'll have no choice but to show every one of our games!

Here in Chapel Hill I can't even find a bar that's playing it!
I can't wait to get back to melbourne...

I watched the Sunsports broadcast....

Did Raftery spaz out at least once every two minutes...

He's amusing.

Wow game 3 is also on NBATV? I wait all year for the playoffs thinking they will be on tv and how exciting they will be. Orlando is getting shafted so badly. Can't even get on National TV for a playoff game.

No, but it did sound like he was pulling for the Raptors. At least in my opinion.

Yeap. And Game 5, too, if necessary. Someone said that of the 4 games NBATV will carry, we're on 3 of them.

I'm really pissed about Magic games not on NBATV.

I'm also mad I can't watch Sixers/Pistons today. It's better than any game today.
