That's fairly common in you older people, so I've heard. The NBA really shoulda started the finals at 7:30pm est- specifically for the kids/codgers demographic.
And have the west coast miss the game because everyone is still at work? [/B]
The exciting part of the game is at the end, so missing the first qtr is not as big a deal. [/B][/QUOTE]

True...but a 4:30 tip-off would be make a lot of people miss the 1st, 2nd, and perhaps part of the 3rd quarter (off work at 5-5:30...walk to the car...traffic...home by 5:45-6:00 or even later for many). No way they'd give up those advertising dollars by scheduling it at a time when fewer people would see the entire thing.
