Oklahoma City – Los Angeles playoff schedule

Since a lot of us are new to the playoffs in our city, does anyone know what the blackout rules are for TNT/ESPN broadcasts? I've been Googling with no luck. Seems I read that ABC games will be seen here in OKC, but TNT games might be blacked out, forcing us to watch FSN. Anyone know? I was mildly surprised that the ESPN game against Memphis wasn't blacked out last night.

if it is an indoor wedding maybe they have a TV

I’m going to cry. I knew I was going to miss the playoffs b/c of a business trip (for two weeks!). But I just found out the plane boards 5 minutes before tip-off on Sunday. And if we get game 6 I’ll be flying home during it!
However… when we get to the second round…

i'm with you. i'm traveling sunday as well. and to make matters worse, i'll be at a wedding on saturday night (game 4) when we go for the sweep.

who schedules a wedding on the night of a playoff game?!

@Lefty
Pour a sip, anything more would be alcohol abuse!
And don't worry, I'll declare myself King of OKC and set up court @ some random sports bar in Florida for games 2-5.

@Elegy444
Let's all pour out a glass for Elegy.

thurs 8:30 is a late start time for here, we should do a pregame party or something.

@Colin Zvosec
Wow I made one two days ago that I was saving for the weekend and it's insanely similar. Great minds...

What is the website these tickets go on sale at tomorrow? Ticketmaster? I will be in town that Saturday, so I would love to be able to get tickets at ~$20. Cannot afford the ~$50 stubhun tickets right now.

Any word if any of these games will be broadcast on the local FSN or KSBI in addition to ABC/ESPN/TNT?

I forget how to change the pic. It's been since Summer League!

@clarkem
This is AWESOME! Our leader isn't going to let the vets psych us out. I think The Lakers are concerned about our match-up.
Keep your brooms in the closet, LA fans! This ones going deep into the series!(I hope)

Let's show these defending champs who the new team to beat is. GO "next step", GO team defense!! GO THUNDER!!

Floppy Punch! :
I don’t mean to preempt the Bolts, but I just love this. Durant is angry about Phil Jackson’s comments. An angry Durant could have mom-lifts-car kind of superpowers.

"The NBA should put us on national tv more I guess."
First off awesome call KD!
Second, I completely agree!

I must be getting old, but I think I may have to take a pregame nap on tuesday so I can stay up for the 9:30 start

Hey Thunder fans, got something that might be interesting. I know we've all seen the "Google Search" commercial, well, I did one for the Thunder (actually doing one for every NBA playoff team). Since I'm not a Thunder fan like you all, take mine for what it's worth.

If you're interested, just go to Youtube and create your own (like I said, I'm including one for every team, and a video from an actual Thunder fan would probably be better than mine). I would love to see them, if any of you choose to do one.

Here's the one I made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShctgQdz7cU

Anyway, good luck against the Lakers. I'm pulling for you guys!

made a 'Beat LA' avatar. show our boys some love by changing your profile pic. http://twitpic.com/1fpet9

Wow, Thunder went from no showings on abc and tnt to three in one week. Guess that what the playoff's will do to a team. Man it feels awesome to say playoffs and Thunder in the same sentence.

that's what i thought but wasn't entirely sure.

thanks!!!

Colin, for all playoff series before the championship, it follows a 2-2-1-1-1 format (starting with the higher seed). The NBA championship series is 2-3-2.

slimjimzv :Games 5, 6 and 7 may not be necessary. We may sweep ‘em

You rock!

home/away?

Games 5, 6 and 7 may not be necessary. We may sweep 'em :)
