NBA Playoffs TV Schedule: Heat vs. Pacers Where to Watch, Channel Game Time of ECF Game 1

The Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers finally hit the floor as they play Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals With the return of Eastern Conference action comes the most lovable pregame, halftime and postgame coverage in basketball. Here's where to tune into your television if you want to watch Game 1 between the Heat and Pacers.

Game 1 Where to Watch: TNT 

Game Time: 8:30 p.m. ET 

Join Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson for all the action beginning at 8 p.m. ET as they will bring the pregame for this matchup. 

The Eastern Conference has been on hiatus since Saturday when the Indiana Pacers won Game 6 against the New York Knicks to advance to the finals where the Heat were awaiting an opponent. The Heat have been resting for six days as they bounced the Chicago Bulls early last week after just five games in their series. 

The Pacers are healthy and in full force after getting George Hill back in their lineup. It was noticed that with Hill out, the Pacers were disorganized and their bench was below average as D.J. Augustin was forced to become a starter. The Pacers have hustlers on the bench, but not guys who can start in the lineup. 

With the rest, there will be rust from the Heat in this game. The Pacers will probably wake them up early in the game and apply pressure on this Miami team that tends to take other teams for granted. They have to keep their eyes on Lance Stephenson who took over Game 6 and put the Knicks' season away. 

Tune into TNT and watch Game 1 as the Pacers and Heat go head to head for the Eastern Conference title.
