Game 49 -|- Lakers @ Cavs -|- Wednesday, February 5th, 7:00PM.

[Kouki]

Don't let Kouki or OhioSlayer see you say this.

Too late! :chuckles:

 

[SteelSmack]

If we lose this game, I'm going to quit this team, like most of the players already have.

 

[Kouki]

Also

Why is it that when we play the Lakers at home, a 7PM EST start time is acceptable

But when we play the Lakers away, it was 10:30PM EST game...

 

[Stark]

Must lose.

I'll still root for us to win because that's how I am, but it is in our best interest to pretty much lose out. We're not making the playoffs, so we might as well fall off a bridge, let the young guys play, and maybe get Brown/Grant fired in the process.

Mathematically, we aren't far from the playoffs at all...

With that said, I've lost hope as well.

He's saying why couldn't the LA game start at 10 EST rather than 10:30 EST.

Or even earlier...I mean, our 7PM start time tonight is 4PM on the west coast. But when the Lakers played here we started at 10:30, or 7:30 on the west coast. If it's okay to start tonight's game at 4PM PST, why couldn't we started that other game at 7 or 8 EST (4 or 5 PST)

Maybe had something to do with other events at the Staples Center...shrug

A home game for the lakers starting at 4 or 5 is much worse/different than an away game for the lakers starting at 4. Why do you think we start our home games at 7? People aren't going to get there as early as 4 or 5...

 

[Kouki]

Oh yeah, I guess I didn't think about the fans actually going to the game.

....Duh.

Long day at work...

 

[mcfly]

I could see TV contract having a say for when home games begin as well. Ratings and whatnot.

We need to win this. RCF might literally implode if we don't. :chuckles:

 

[kosis]

If that bootleg ass lineup beats us...

How pathetic is it that my eyes lit up after seeing Meeks was out? Jodie Meeks. My God...

 

[Zen]

expecting a loss, hoping for a win..

and by a win im assuming you mean a loss of the actual basketball game right?

 

[getBUCKED]

Going to be an epic loss, hopefully the one that gets Mike Brown out of town.
