Toronto 5/11 show OFFICIALLY moved to 5/12

demetrios · May 2016

Raptors lost last night? Excellent! Let's go Heat. Sweep this team please. Sick of Drake. They show more of him on local Canadian news stations then the players of the game.

Just to stir the pot a little:

I was watching the lightning/Islanders game last night on NBCSN (remember that thing I said about Canadians not giving a shit about basketball? well...) anyway, I heard the announcer say that game 4 of the series wouldn't be played until Friday night (i.e. 2 days off between games), because the Beibs had the next 2 nights in a row booked at Barclays...

so my question is: WTF is the NBA's problem? if the NHL can wait a day for a beibs, you'd think that the NBA could show some respect to PJ....

NBA is big money. NHL is small fries. I remember many years back during the Boston Bruins playoffs there would be 2 day breaks because The Garden had a concert. NBA is like "No, we gonna go play ball. Game, day off, then game. Who's Pearl Jam?" Hell The Who had their show postponed at the ACC. The fucking WHO!" NBA shows no respect. The thought of an NBA team in the playoffs taking 2 day's off would confuse their plays on the court. They wouldn't know how to dribble the ball. Best to let those high paid players on the court every 2nd day, for throwing a ball .. in a hoop.

First of all, pop music will always dominate. Money talks. PJ aren't gonna shell out the big bucks just for that. You gotta pick your battles.

Second of all, the NBA don't care for anyone.

Except I bet you if there was a Drake concert, that wouldn't be moved

Not entirely true. Just last week, the Justin Bieber concert here in Cleveland was going to be postponed if the Cavs hadn't swept the Pistons.

I appreciate all that you have said here. However, why did the NBA give the following inconsistent schedule to the Warriors and Trail Blazers?

GM 1: May 1
GM 2: May 3
GM 3: May 7
GM 4: May 9
GM 5: May 11
GM 6: May 13
GM 7: May 16

Probably because the GSW/POR series started earlier than the TOR/MIA

If Toronto and Miami would have finished round 1 in sooner than 7 games, the concert likely would not have been affected.

Im sure TV ratings have something to do with it to. They want to make sure every single day, the NBA is getting on TV, and atleast 2 games on the weekends. Its all about the $$

That's just it...the Warriors and Blazers started sooner but (potentially) end later!

I guess it really won't matter because if there's going to be a sweep, it'll be the Warriors doing it to the Blazers.

polaris_x · May 2016

the game last night was predictable ... same thing will likely happen in game 2 ... in the 4th quarter - the raps will stop passing the basketball and hope demar derozan and/or kyle lowry can carry them on their own ... and they aren't good enough to do that ...

sure, it went to OT last night but it took a really bad sequence and a miracle shot for that to happen ... i'm a fan of this team but it won't go anywhere under this coach ...

I am so with you! for good luck, I just made a bet on the Heat winning the series 4-0 on bet365. It's only $5, but returns $40...just about enough to buy a t-shirt at night 2! haha

Yep. This is what it's all about. It's unfortunate that the NBA's scheduling tactics are negatively impacting this show and fans with travel plans.

Well I won't be going if the date changes, just found out it will cost me an extra $650 to change my flights :(
Hopefully the band plays a really awesome setlist night 1 for the people who can't attend the 2nd show
What sucks is I coughed up big money on stub hub to get a great seat seeing as it was my last show now if it is changed I don't know where I stand getting a refund or reselling
well ,maybe the Raptors get swept, you came through for me in Memphis, I hope it happens, if not, I hope night 1 is one of the best shows ever, and you get to hear some of your white whales

Thanks Hank, I have had a good run so can't complain too much and yes hopefully night 1 will be extra awesome if night 2 gets moved (go Heat). I met up with Rock Mama in Columbia and was her ticket buddy again so meeting her in Memphis worked out well for me too.

You are going to have to update your list of shows attended

Not sure this is a good omen for Raptors fans, one of the players is doing a press conference right now...wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs cap, lol.

Am I in the minority thinking the nba is fixed?
