NBA TV sucks

How is a playoff game on NBA tv? How? I'm supposed to see every damn playoff game. This is the biggest miscariage of justice like ever. This is complete horse ****.

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

What's more egregious is that there's no local coverage (according to the NBA.com/magic/schedule page at least) for the game.

I haven't checked my DirectTV guide yet, but the magic site shows game 4 as TNT only and 5 as NBATV only. Whereas 2 & 3 are Sun & NBATV.

I guess shouldn't be worried about 5 anyways since there won't be one ;-)

Dont blame NBAtv, blame the TV execs who deemed the Magic to have no entertainment value. I guess watching Hou, Atl, Den get blown out on primetime is better...

I went to the site and NBATV is supposed to have a free preview starting April 19th. Thats awesome, although I have digital cable, and its April 22nd, and NBATV is still blacked out.

He went to SUNY Brockport it's about 2 hours away. I drank there a few times though.

It looks like they're playing it on the Sun channel.

It's a school right next to Rochester New York. Brockports a small college town. Not much to do there. Brockport has a pretty campus though.

On the Sunsports website it says tonight game will be aired on Sunsports in North & Central Florida only. Hopefully that applies to the Melbourne area too...

Its so teams like the Hornets/Mavs can have an extra day off and take away a coverage slot from another series.

Nope, but we get the games on The Score, and TSN - two Canada-wide sports channels. We actually get a local feed with our local broadcasters. :o
