Heat and Hawks, meaningless game cutting off our entire first half!!!

[JETBlack]

Can I get a "Bullshit"!! Chant. Thanks TNT you idiots.

 

[HailBlazers]

I blame the HAWKS, missin 7 free throws in the 4 QTR?! Damn Miami show that never ends

 

[ucatchtrout]

Yeah. It really sucks. Now the Atlanta Miami game is actually a pretty good one. But I'm so pissed I can't watch the Blazer game that I'm not enjoying it like I normally would.

 

[craigehlo]

They need more split screen action at the very least. TNT stinks.

The Hawks should be ashamed of themselves for struggling against this crap Heat squad w/o Wade and LeBron.

 

[McNicholicious]

Missed the 1st half. That sucked. I saw Gerald had 17. Better come out firing in the 2nd!

 

[KingSpeed]

Their game is no more meaningless than ours. Atlanta and Miami are two of the top teams in the East.

 

[HailBlazers]

I expected more from 2012, technology hostage situation going on here or maybe it's just comcast.

 

[cdub503]

I don't get how they couldn't set the west coast to the blazer game and the east coast to the miami game....

 

[Sinobas]

Of course it had to happen the one game where we have no local coverage.

 

[HailBlazers]

I don't get how they couldn't set the west coast to the blazer game and the east coast to the miami game....

That's what I'M saying, its 2012, we should get to pick!

Of course it had to happen the one game where we have no local coverage.

Riight. KGW dropped the ball on this one, its the fing Lakers

 

[JETBlack]

Who wants to watch the Heat without Wade and LBJ take on the Hawks for Regulation plus 3 OTs? Screw that BS.

 

[Further]

That was the most boring 3OT game I ever saw.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Well i watched it and I hate to rub it in but the first quarter was fun to watch. Bummer for you guys.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I watched a good chunk of that Atlanta game right up until the end of regulation and I came away with just one thought. The Hawks are a dumb, dumb, terrible team. Fuck I hate watching them play.

 

[jlprk]

Of course it had to happen the one game where we have no local coverage.

Laker fans had KCAL televising it, so they didn't miss the first half. Just us.

 

[Nate Dogg]

I just don't understand why TNT just didn't do a small bubble of the Miami/Atlanta game in the corner and show the Blazer game as the primary or at least switch back in forth on a timeout for either team.

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Riight. KGW dropped the ball on this one, its the fing Lakers

I have no idea how it works. But it makes no sense to me that KGW wouldn't broadcast this game if they could.

 

[Bob Dobalina]

And let's be clear about this too: there's no external recourse here. TNT has a contractual lock on these Thursday night games. They cannot be broadcast locally by the vast majority of franchises. There's no other avenue than TNT to view them and yet TNT is saying, "We WILL NOT SHOW YOU THIS GAME."

[craigehlo]

I'm not as pissed as some. So I missed the Lakers shooting 70% for a half. I'll live.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

and ESPN.com has this as their top story. No mention of our victory over LA at all.

TNT at least could have switched over to our game during some of the ATL-MIA timeouts, which were coming fast and furious. By the time our game came on at the half, I felt like I had just watched an hour of commercials.
