And the Games 7 keep on coming in the NBA. Falling one series short of a record for Games 7 in the first round, we have two added to the three we had on Saturday. Today, ABC has an afternoon twinbill of Games 7 starting with Brooklyn at Toronto at 1 p.m. with Mike Tirico, Hubie Brown and Lisa Salters in Canada.
Then at 3:30 p.m. ET, Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy and Doris Burke will be in San Antonio for the Dallas-Spurs game.
As she did on Friday, Michelle Beadle hosts NBA Countdown in place of Sage Steele. She has the unenviable task of dealing with Captain Blowhard and his massive ego.
Here’s what ABC is saying about today’s games.
