With the 2016-17 NBA schedule release on Thursday, we have the schedule for NBA's longtime OTA partner, ABC. The NBA on ABC is in its 15th season (just like ESPN, its in second stint covering the league). With the new NBA national TV contracts taking effect starting this year, we have more NBA games on TV than other before. Now, On the 10 extra games between ABC/ESPN front, ABC will get 3 extra games, while ESPN will receive the other 7 extra games. ABC's regular-season coverage grows from 15 to 18. ABC's coverage, starts of course, with a Christmas Day doubleheader on Sunday, December 25th. Unstock your stockings and ABC will give you 2 wonderful games under your tree. The NBA Finals re-match for 2015 and 2016 will take place in "the Land" (as LeBron calls this) as the Cavs host Golden State at 2:30 pm, then Dwayne Wade and his-new look Bulls visit San Antonio for a match-up with the Spurs at 5:00 pm. Besides this, ABC will have Saturday Prime-time for a 2nd straight season (when you see GS/OKC, you know that's a must-see) and Sunday Showcases as well this year.
