Trying to get work done today...

[LogGrad98]

I have to wait until 7:30 here. 7:30. SEVEN ****ING THIRTY. Sonofabitch!!

5:30 am. It's the easiest hour for me to wake up, but I'll miss the 4th quarter because I'll be on my way to work...

mane I don't know if I should just go ahead and "call in" for tomorrow... go home and take a nap now or what.

Try 10:30 EST.

And I have to report to jury duty tomorrow, lol.

11:30 p.m. Brazil time, with a 2 month old baby at home that wakes up during the night.

I'll probably get 2 hours sleep tonight.

I'm looking forward to the timberwolves-rockets game too so I'm not in the same boat.

Good time to listen to some high-energy music..

I ****ing hate the 9:30 central tip.

Normally I hate it as well. But because tonight is my league bowling night and it's almost impossible to concentrate on the game while league bowling, I'm glad for the late tip.

Then at least I'll get to re-watch the first hour after bowling and come close to finishing the game when it's actually over.

I was hoping there wouldn't be a playoff game on a Monday this year.

Not necessarily. Like I said, the NCAA staggers games in prime time on low usage channels like TruTV and they still get great ratings. NCAA TV ratings are still on the rise:

http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/tv-ratings-ncaa-1202728915/ NCAA coverage (over 4 channels) averaged 8.6 million viewers.

http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2018/04/nba-playoff-ratings-2018-tuesday-viewership/ NBA numbers are down in some areas.

My whole point is this - games that start at 10:30 EST seem stupid to me. It's like they don't care at all about so much of the country that watches it's product. And they put the game that late just so you can watch another 1st round playoff game to the very last second? Seems dumb to me....

NCAA isnt the NBA and they dont run their games against each other when they dont have to.

Ugh... Is it game time yet????

 

[Siro]

Ugh... Is it game time yet????

Not until the absurdly late time of 8:30! ****ing late *** games.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Where the damn game thread?

 

[JazzGal]

Ugh... Is it game time yet????

I've been trying to not think about it so I could get something done today, but I'm starting to lose focus. And there's still nearly 5 hours to go.

Try 10:30 EST.

And I have to report to jury duty tomorrow, lol.

If we lose, I imagine you'll be pushing for a guilty verdict. If we win, exoneration!

Oh, that's an old post. Well then.
