i looked at my tv schedule and TNT is getting most games. ESPN is only playing the first 3 games then most if not the rest are gonna be on TNT.

western conference finals is on TNT this year (i believe they rotate, or they get the winner of last years finals conference)

as for the rest of the playoffs just check the local listings

While I'm excited that I won't have to endure ABC's broadcast, I'm slightly disappointed. In years past, I didn't have even basic cable (along with a large part of other Americans). The fact that we could only get 1-2 games a week during the playoffs, while Fox and CBS broadcast EVERY MLB (american league) and NFL playoff game on regular tv was rather troublesome.

I have cable now, and am really looking forward to seeing as many games as possible, but just putting the finals on network TV really alienates a large portion of NBA fans.

ABC should have other games than just the finals... they did last year and years before, with the Suns/Spurs, Jazz/Spurs, Kings/T'Wolves in 04, Kings/Mavs in 04, T'Wolves/Lakers in 04, Suns/Spurs in 05, Heat/Pistons in 05... probably will from an east series or two this year, as well.


NBATV will also probably get certain games from the 1st round, as has been so in the past. ESPN should get a bunch of games. TNT will get a bunch of games.

And yeah, TNT switches it up each year with the ECF and the WCF... I love that it's the WCF this year. :)

That'll be there next year - probably, at least.
