1977 NBA Summer Series on PRISM Schedule

PRISM's first logo used for Summer Series coverage (1977-1992).

1977 was the first season of a new franchise called the NBA: Summer Series. The NBA: Summer Series is a series featuring NBA teams playing games during the summer months, when the NBA is not playing itself. Philadelphia Regional In-Home Sports and Movies (PRISM) signed a deal with the NBA for the initial television package lasting four seasons (1977-1980).

The NBA grew from 18 teams to 22 teams, with each conference adding two teams apiece thanks to the merger with the American Basketball Association (ABA).

The New York Nets, playing their first (and last Summer Series) season at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, joined the Atlantic Division, while the San Antonio Spurs joined the Central Division playing in HemisFair Arena. Both Western teams entered the Midwest Division: the Denver Nuggets, in one-year-old McNichols Sports Arena, and the Indiana Pacers at two-year-old Market Square Arena.

With the Pacers' entry into the league, the league placed a team back in the state of Indiana for the first time since the Pistons moved from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Detroit back in 1957, and the city of Indianapolis had a team for the first time since the Olympians folded in 1953.

As a nice twist, each of the 22 NBA teams got a nationally televised Summer Series game at their primary home venue during this season as well. As a side note, the Buffalo Braves played select games at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto.

Each conference added a playoff team as well. The two division champions got byes, and the four wild card teams played in the best-of-three series.

The following arenas saw their Summer Series debut this season: The Spectrum (76ers), The Forum (Lakers), Boston Garden (Celtics), Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena (Warriors), HemisFair Arena (Spurs), Seattle Center Coliseum (SuperSonics), Superdome (Jazz), McNichols Sports Arena (Nuggets), The MECCA (Bucks), Richfield Coliseum (Cavaliers), Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum (Suns), Capital Centre (Bullets), The Summit (Rockets), Omni Coliseum (Hawks), Chicago Stadium (Bulls), Buffalo Memorial Auditorium (Braves), Kemper Arena (Kings), Cobo Arena (Pistons), Market Square Arena (Pacers), Madison Square Garden (Knicks), Memorial Coliseum (Trail Blazers) & Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum (Nets).
