Living in Australia I was really hoping for a Saturday game so I could watch it mid Sunday morning.

Now if it’s indeed a 3.30pm EST game it will be around 5.30am Monday morning here. It will be similar to waking up for Browns game ha

Good. Pretty sure that means nationally televised on ABC.

I hope it does. This is the first Cavs playoff series for me since becoming employed full-time (was still in school last time around) and a 3:30pm game translates to 5:30am down here, meaning I'll be able to watch before work.

Still trying to work out what I'm going to do for the 7-7:30pm games if I'm not in the office and am unable to tune in live.. Do you guys think it's worthwhile to keep up-to-date with scores so im still live and not missing out or wait until after work (staying off the Internet of course!) and watch the delayed replay like I'm sometimes forced to do during the regular season?

It's a different kettle of fish during the post-season so I obvioisly want to avoid as many replays as possible.

3:30 would be killer. Allows plenty of time to see downtown rocking and get everyone in the playoff mood. Atmosphere will be awesome.

I’m in the exact same situation as you! Ha. I’m usually in the office. But if I have meetings ect I think I will just check live scores and watch the replay after work. ( I need to know the live score, I’m impatient!)

If I don’t have meetings I will time my lunch break for the second half of games so I can stream it live!

Going to my first ever playoff game this weekend! Pretty pumped.

I still wish KG and Paul Pierce were on this Celtic team still, but it'll be fun kicking ass against Boston either way.

Holy shit is it nice to look forward to something this time of year that isn't the Draft Lottery drawing.

Cavs in five. Boston is simply overmatched barring a complete mental breakdown by Irving and Love. Even then the Cavs would still win in six.

Nothing series-changing, but just more minor distraction for them...
