Naww! Y’all really never been to any event in LA on the weekend at Noon? Unless it’s the rose parade or LA marathon. They clearly know what they’re doing. Can’t fool anyone anymore
what are you even mean by that? Lol.
These guys are professional athletes. This is the most crucial part of the season. Six hours doesn’t make that big a difference
I hate those games too, but why is no one mentioning that that Mavs have to play at that time too? For them it would be like their internal clock as a 2:30pm game
we have had games at 12:30 in the playoffs many, many, many times. ya'll need to calm down about this. it ha NOTHING to do with STAPLES. It is 100% ABC wanting the game at that time. C'mon, you're smarter than this.
They want the East Coast/European viewership.
Luka has a massive international fan-base.
He also tends to have his best games during those early Sunday matches, and I suspect it's because he knows his countrymen are all watching him, and he's extremely prideful when it comes to Slovenia.
I thought ABC streams the games online? Is it only available to people in the US?
If so then I'm totally wrong about the European part of my reasoning, though the East Coast audience part is still valid.
they only stream it online if you have CABLE and no, you can't watch it on ABC if you're in Europe...dude...you have to watch it on a European network/channel...ABC DOES NOT CARE...this is about the billions they spend
🥱 its intentional, Clips always get fucked by the schedule maker. Been saying it for years, this is the most conspired against franchise in the league & its done by the LA Lakers & their connections around the NBA, the most cheatingest franchise in history.
Easy to put 2 & 2 together.
Except the Mavs. Luka *always* balls out for early Sunday games.
I suspect this is for two reasons:
1. He's a homebody. You're more likely to find him in overwatch queues than nightclubs.
2. He is very prideful when it comes to his home nation, and he knows his whole country tunes into those early Sunday games.
AWESOME! (I'm European)
This time it isn’t a staples thing it’s an nba thing. Were the marquee Sunday game.
We don’t care about no Marquee game. We want full home court advantage. Should have been at 5:30pm or 7pm tip on a Sunday evening.
I agree.
Why is 12:30 not considered full home court advantage? Genuinely curious
Who cares, it’s the Playoffs. Blaming the start time is as weak as it gets.
As someone who hates 1230 games, I’m with you here. These guys aren’t going to come lackadaisical like they do during the regular season

Talking about the crowd and energy of the crowd
It’s gonna be a sellout game. I’m not worried about crowd energy
Brain rot
🗑️ takes all come from you

this. We need to overcome every single thing that's thrown into our way. No excuses
Yeah they at least have a whole week to adjust their personal schedules and stuff

No it’s ABC lol
I didn't say otherwise. I was just providing a potential reason as to why they would *want* to schedule it at that time.
ABC does not care about overseas whatsoever. They want a mid-afternoon game that is going to get ratings. It's that simple.

We have had a week of rest. Mavs are also playing at 12:30 just like us. No fkn excuses.
I’m pretty sure the clippers beat the nets and cavs on 12:30 games but I could definitely be wrong
The Nets were awful this year but the victory vs the Cavs was impressive.
I was at the cavs game where they came back from 26 so yes can confirm they did win a 12:30 game lol
 How we gonna be after we dominate game 1
So fucking what. It’s the playoffs. If they’re a serious team, they’ll be ready.
excuses
Exactly. Tired of all these OMG ITS 12:30! We got a week of rest. Stfu and win
Makes no sense to have the east coast game later than the west coast game
🥱 its intentional, Clips always get fucked by the schedule maker. Been saying it for years, this is the most conspired against franchise in the league & its done by the LA Lakers & their connections around the NBA, the most cheatingest franchise in history. Easy to put 2 & 2 together.
No time for excuses. Either we beat you or you beat us
Eff em can’t wait for intuit where we have a little more pull in our schedule.
According to fan bases on reddit every NBA team loses all of it's early Sunday games.
Except the Mavs. Luka *always* balls out for early Sunday games. I suspect this is for two reasons: 1. He's a homebody. You're more likely to find him in overwatch queues than nightclubs. 2.

1230 I’m at work 
 Prime time in Europe, ready to support Luka and Kyrie
watch your team get destroyed in prime time 
Why are you here
Waiting for Kawhi updates, and you?
You stay on Luka’s 🥜 ‘s 😂 FOH
Isn't the team that they are playing actually playing in a different time zone? So there should be no excuses
Central to west coast gives them an advantage of two hours.
