1 p.m.? Again?
As the kids would say, this time slot is “ass.” It’s supposed to be 90 degrees and sunny on Sunday. You take your children to the beach or to the park and then you watch a 3 p.m. game while they nap or a 7:30 p.m. game after they go down for the night. This time slot is offensive to parents!
Three days of rest after Game 5, and home court advantage, however. The Sixers don’t have to bus or train or fly anywhere. You’ll trade all of those positives for one crappy time slot.
(they got the worst time slot because they’re playing the Hawks, who don’t move the needle)
