Right now. Especially if the NHL goes to 7 games like the NBA. Because of the NHL strike, this is the first time the NBA and NHL finals have overlapped, right? Pretty sure I'm right. So you've had like 11 games over 14 days of championship play. Good games, too. Greatest two weeks ever. (Waiting for judgment. I think I made a good sports observation. A good post. Hoping they like it. We'll see.) |

Terrible thought. You know better too. There has only been 1 really good game in the NBA Finals and Crawford is trying his best to lose tonight. Having 1 great game in each series will never equal best 2 weeks ever. |

They may overlap with the last with games 6 or 7. But this one is more tight. With more championship games over a two week period. Plus you also consider the U.S Open and the severe beating that I am taking from you people. That's been quite a sporting event as well. With all of that, I declare a win. |

As much as I love Hockey & the Stanley Cup Final, its hard to beat either the first or the last 2 weeks of March Madness. |

Just different clientele, I'd imagine. Was just discussing this yesterday. Remember the cartoon head t shirts of the Bulls teams? I swear everyone in the city bought as much of that stuff as they could get their hands on. It was crazy. Once you hit the conference finals, every game was an event. |

This might sound insignificant and maybe it's nostalgia, but the NBA on NBC's coverage kinda made it feel that way for me. I've seen NBA ball on all the major networks and by far NBC's coverage was the best, IMO. That shit was just epic every time, even for the lesser matchups. |

If you were smart, you could wait about a month until they were looking to get rid of them cheap. |

Now there's 100's of cable networks out there that produce original programming. This has hurt playoff broadcasts for all the major sports. |

ABC barely shows any games outside of the finals. They should be running triple headers on Sunday's once the NFL playoffs are done. What else is there on TV during that time? |

You two are right about the national TV thing. NBC used to do afternoon games on Saturdays and Sundays. I used to love watching Inside Stuff on Saturdays when it led right into NBA Showtime, followed by two games. Then on Sundays you'd have a Bulls game followed by a West Coast matchup. That's the only way I got to see teams like Seattle, Houston, Phoenix, and GS because we didn't get cable til 1993. |

Nowadays, you're lucky to get 1 game a week on ABC, and it's always: Lakers, Heat, Celtics, Knicks, or Thunder. |
