The New York Knicks are a lovable and amazing basketball team. They won Game 1 of the NBA Finals by coming back a 14-point deficit, and scoring the last 11 points of the game. They won Game 2 by a single point. It’s great viewing.It’s too bad the games go so late.The Knicks’ 11-0 run in Game 1 was entirely after 11 p.m. Eastern time. The wild final 77 seconds of Game 2 happened after 11:15 pm.
That’s late!
New York City public schools are in session. The kids watching these games will have to get up early the morning after the games. Also, the next two games will be played in New York City, in the Eastern Time Zone.
If the Spurs’ home games in San Antonio can start at 7:30 p.m local time (8:30 Eastern), the games in New York can surely start at 7:30 p.m. local time. Heck, the games should start at 7 p.m. local time, or even 6:30. Some Californians missing the first quarter because they are at work is far better than some East Coasters missing the fourth quarter because they are asleep.
