Iverson travels a lot too, and he never won anything.

Anyway, c'mon we won a huge game 3. Let's enjoy it instead of continuing to complain about the refs. Please

The refs suck.

Whoops did I say that? Actually I don't have much of a problem with the refs as long as they continue to call a good game. I'm still enjoying this nice game 3 win.

But I am going to complain about the time in between games, I mean seriously there was like 3 days in between games 2 and 3 and now there's like 3 days between games 3 and 4. Why can't they just play every other day? By the time the second round starts it's gonna be mid-may lol.

Well there's television. And the fact that the Caps may have been playing

I guess you're right but if the Caps and the Wizards were playing at the same time I think it'd be better, but cable networks probably wouldn't because it would mean lower ratings.

Explain? Lower ratings, huh? I would dig a ditch right now for the Caps to still be playing.

As would I, but if they were both playing on the same night people would be forced to pick one over the other. I'm not saying people wouldn't watch the games if they were playing, I'm saying people would have to pick one or the other, or decide to alternate between both constantly. Some people would stick with the Wizards and other people would watch the Caps.

Well I understand your point. But I'm no so sure the fan base is quite the same for both sports. I'm into Cap hockey but could care less about watching Wizard basketball (But thats just me). Although I do hope they win, due to thats my home team. But for those who do have common interest in both and go to the games as I do. They won't be playing in DC at the same time so you wouldn't have to miss a home game. Even though now this is a moot point being the Caps are out.

And if your a house mouse and stay home to watch all your sporting events on the boob tube......then you have the good old pic in pic option on that state of the art Big Screen HD plasma TV. Isn't this old modern technology great.

Well I'd rather be able to watch both games at the same time, which happened at least once this NBA/NHL postseason, and I enjoyed it, but I think the stations (I meant that instead of the cable networks lol, my bad) wouldn't like it because you'd have half of the market watching one and half of the market watching the other. Ratings would probably be lower because people in the area would have to choose one over the other, and it'd probably result in a lot of switching. I may be wrong because I don't know how exactly ratings are determined, which I'm sure you do because you work in t.v., but that's what I think what would happen. Having the games on seperate days would mean everyone would be able to stick to one game.

And I understand that they would be forced to have the games on seperate days if both teams had to play a home game at Verizon Center, but I don't think that would happen every time they played.

Yeah I wasn't talking about the ratings so much as the fact that if the Capitals had advanced they'd likely have played a game on Saturday night.

As for the ratings, it would have not been too affected (effected?) by sharing the time. It'd be more affected (effected?) by the night it'd be on, Saturday far worse than Sunday. But there are also contractual obligations/limitations. It's a complicated little process, this scheduling thing.

I guess now that I think about the Caps wouldn't have had home ice anyway

What do you mean they would not have home ice? Or did you mean just this weekend?
