So the NBA is really expecting the east coast to stay up for a 10:30PM start time on a Tuesday?

[FlyRy]

My old ass thought a 10pm West Coast finish was bad enough

WTF is Adam Silver smoking? Why can't it be 6pm and 9pm EST start times?

It's to separate the casuals from the Coli posters who don't get their thread one-starred

Start to become angry. Or as I believe the kids say nowadays...




















...






















...get mad.

Just because it’s been going on for years doesn’t mean that it isn’t a problem worth complaining about.

It’s a personal problem for eastern time zone people

Why is this thread made once a week now? Im on the East Coast, but the East aint the only people watching.

Starting at 6pm here would be 3 pm West, 4pm mountain, and 5pm central. People arent home yet to watch.

Even at the site of the 6pm game, it will be empty to start. NBA dont want that atmosphere for a playoff game.

Take a nap and then get up and watch the game. It aint just about you.

This been going on for decades why are you acting like this is new?

You’re just like those retards who complain about daylight savings time every year

why do we have time zones?

Saturday college football on the West Coast

9am kickoffs at the bar, ordering pancakes and bloody Marys

12:30 kickoff sec games, you already faded from day drinking

Pac 12 after dark playing while you at the bar later (that Colorado / USC game was wild at the bar)

Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer turned you into an early morning drinker

Let's be honest, I could see if these were two teams that played in EST, but one's in CST and the other's in MST. So their fans are catching the game at 9:30 and 8:30.

shyt, some Knicks and Pacers fans would still compain for a 6 PM EST tip-off. Some people are still coming home from work.

I'm a Portland fan but I live on the east coast. Even when they were good, I wasn't staying up late to watch that shyt. You just need to catch those highlights in the morning.

[pete clemenza]

Have y'all ever looked at a f*cking map and realized how big this country actually is? 3pm west coast start time isn't going to fly

 

[Optimus Prime]

The new TV contract should tell you that the NBA doesn't really need to care about traditional TV ratings

 

[tremonthustler1]

Just because it’s been going on for years doesn’t mean that it isn’t a problem worth complaining about.

it wasn't a problem when we were young, didn't wanna sleep and snuck away to have the TV on either dumb low or on mute so our parents wouldn't know since we had school the next day. Now we get older and we understand why you see old heads go to bed early.


I'm a night owl though so I can deal with this stuff.

 

[Marlow Stanfield]

What I love the late night games!

Used to be the best when a bytch pull up at like 10-11 and the game is still on

Friday night hit the bar and watch the game with bad bytches


Free comedy and analysis with Inside the NBA at 1

Facts
Inside the NBA being the only halftime and postgame show not getting muted for music at the bar

Tequila shots with the rowdy hoes during the 4th quarter and its a 3-point game

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

They basically sacrifice the idea of west coast missing the first quarter of a game in exchange for the east coast missing the fourth quarter of a game ..which is usually the climax

It never makes any sense

But they look at it as the people who fall asleep on the east coast still got their tvs on anyway, so the ratings and numbers still getting run up

Yeah, I like to celebrate victories early in the day
