That would suck, but I don't see it anywhere on the site. Maybe it was a screw up and they've repaired it to just say TNT.

I don't see SportSouth having the game on the Comcast schedule... I think we're good to go.

The Hawks will make their playoff debut Sunday night in prime time, as they take on the Celtics in Boston in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference playoff series (8:30 ET, TNT and SportsSouth). Playoff Central | Get Playoff Tickets Now!

^Thats right off hawks.com

As much as I love Bob Rathbun and Smitty I will be beyond pissed if I can't watch this on TNT

I just saw the email that lists both. I'm a bit frightened now. I hope it is just a multicast because the loss of HD would truly suck.

LOL this goes to show you how long it's been since the Hawks have been on TNT/ESPN. I live in Chicago and none of the nationally televised games(including the last 3 playoff runs) are ever blacked out with the exception of NBA TV games.

I know with Falcons MNF games they play the games on a local channel as well as being able to watch it on ESPN. But that may be different because SportSouth is cable too.

I'm sure it will be on TNT, though.

It probably wouldn't be that big of an issue if the games weren't on SportsSouth which has probably the crappiest picture quality of any feed on League Pass. Phillips looks completely different on FSN South HD or when another team(like the YES network)has the feed. The Hawks definitely need more games in HD next year.

Wow it has been a while since you've been in the playoffs. Of course they won't blackout a playoff game. They only do that during the season.

I'm sure the game will probably be simulcast on both TNT and SportSouth.

Wow....it has been a while since you've been in the playoffs too! Of course they wont blackout a playoff game. They only do that during the regular season.

LOL.....if I am not mistaken....didn't we have more wins than Boston last year?

Remember the Phoenix team...Steve Nash's first year there. Greatest turn around in NBA history. Did they win a title?

Remember Dallas won 67 games with ease last year. Did they win the title?

I tell ya, you get one very good season under your belts and all of the sudden you all become brand new to the fact that you all aint been here in a while either. And in the great words of Rick Pitino..."Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish ain't walking through that door lades and gents."

^ I don't think he was talking trash 404 lol, it's cool. I've seen tons of posts by him and he's been very respectful to us.

Anyway, GO HAWKS!!

Im going to game 3 and 4. But I will record both games so I can watch them OVER n OVER n OVER n OVER n OVER n OVER n OVER n OVER n OVER.

Yeah I'm gonna be VHS'ing the games also..

I'm going to game 3 can't freaking wait!

What's the point of simulcasting the TNT game on another cable station? That doesn't make sense, if you get SportSouth then you get TNT too.
