Why is NBA game so late today?

[lakerboy]

835est start on a Sunday when no other games are on. What are these guys thinking? These teams have no interest on the west coast and barely any interest anywhere else.

Ghetto NBA players are hung over from Saturday night activities at the night clubs and strip joints. Ho groupie lays and staying up til sunrise..

Late Sunday start gives them all nap time to recover.

they want to make sure the west coast people are home and to help the west coast bars out

Like this ancient relic would do anything different at 24 years old with NBA money. Clown shoes.

This.

The networks have a focus group dedicated to researching what is the ideal start time so all three time zones benefit.

They think 8:30 EST and 5:30 PST is the best.
Works for me.

Some late night Sunday action, after so much has settled for the weekend.

That's all I got.

There's some truth to this but this is the conference finals and the Kung Flu is everywhere it's probably a small percentage of players being affected here.

It clash with the baseball game

[pavyracer]

Atlanta police needs time to secure downtown from all the crime in town. Trumpsters keep saying crime is up so it takes longer for police to clear all the NBA players and fans from security.

Laker worry about Covid protocols

It clash with the baseball game

I know for a fact the NFL and MLB have an agreement that the World Series will not clash with Sunday Night football for ratings sake.
I don't think the NBA has that sort of agreement with Sunday Night playoffs and Sunday Night Baseball.

5:30 is not late!!
