    ESPN Should be airing Celtics - Cavs instead of Spurs-Sixers

    It seems like the NBA and TV is trying to push matchups between stars and Melo/Lebron so im wondering why they arent airing the celtics cavs game. I mean on the bottomline ive seen stuff like this: Orlando at Denver (TMAC vs Carmelo). the one-on-one matchups are clearly being highlighted ala Shaq v Yao, so why not Pierce v Lebron?

    Spurs-Sixers starts at 8 while Celtics-Cavs starts at 7:30. If there is not overtime, what would ESPN do in that extra half hour between the first and second games?

          How about because Tmac is better than Pierce !!
          How about because Carmelo is better than Lebron!!
          How about most people would rather watch the Magic instead of the Celtics!!
          How about the fact that the Nuggets are better than the Cavs!!
          How about the fact that both games are a waste of tv space, but you have to pick the game that is the least waste of the two!!
          How about the fact that the Lakers vs Detroit should be on TV before either!!
          How about the fact that the Sixers vs the Spurs is just the better game, period!!

                            If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)
