Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 4676397, member: 767"] I was just saying to my friend I remmeber the Knicks playing memorial day afternoon games when I was a kid (mid 90s era). I am curious as to when that ended. (And now that I am thinking about it, the LJ 4 point play was definitely an afternoon game as well) Wiki has start times for most playoff games, I am seeing some scattered afternoon starts as late as 2007 for conf finals games, but I think specifically for memorial day it looks like 2002, Celtics-Nets was a 5:30 start. That was also the last year NBC had the playoffs. Those two facts are probably not unrelated. The one thing I will say is as far as better for fans; while a lot of people are off today, it's not like everyone is. So the people working something resembling regular hours today are probably happy the game is at a more normal time. (though maybe they could throw us a bone and start it at 8 rather than 8:30) [/QUOTE]
