    Anybody have any idea what days Game A and B will be on? I have a friend coming in from college this weekend and I want to get us tickets to one of the games because his birthday was yesterday. I just need to know which one will be on Saturday or Sunday or if any of them will be.

    I know this isn't really thread worthy just looking for a quick answer.

    NBA won't release the schedule until after the last games Wednesday.

    Game A will be on Saturday or Sunday, the playoff schedule announced on Weds night after all of the games are over.

    fwiw, here is my educated guess.....

    here is the TV schedule, all CT

    SAT
    ABC 2-4:30PM
    ESPN 4:30PM-7PM
    ESPN 7PM-9:30PM
    ESPN 9:30PM-12AM

    SUN
    TNT 12PM-2:30PM
    ABC 2:30PM-5PM
    TNT 6PM-8:30PM
    TNT 8:30PM-11PM

    If it follows the same format as previous years, TNT gets first dibs on what games to pick up. I can see TNT picking up our series since they aired 2 of the Rockets/Blazers games, with the 1/20 game being a late pickup after they dropped a Lakers game. If that's the case, we will be the 6PM or 8:30PM game on Sunday, I see there is NO WAY they lead us with the Sunday noon game.

    If TNT passes us, we'll be on ESPN on Saturday being the 4:30PM or 7PM game.

    I can see the LAC game being a lock for the 9:30pm slot on Sat since I don't see the Spurs, OKC, us, and none of the east teams having the late west coast time slot.

    For comparison, Game 1 vs. OKC last year was the last TNT and playoff game played on a Sunday at 8:30PM, but our series was attractive because of the whole Harden returning to face OKC story.

    Btw, since all 16 teams are set in stone, with the home teams locked, I wouldn't be surprised if the schedule leaked before the last game of the season on Wednesday
