Game 1 of Perth v Brisbane will actually be shown in Sydney and Melbourne on 9GO! on one-hour delay, due to time difference (tip-off in Perth is 10.20pm AEDT).
I suspect it’ll be a longer delay - the earlier Melbourne v Sydney game is also scheduled for an 11.20pm start on 9Go!, so I expect they’ll run the doubleheader in order

The first two finals are 11.20pm into 1.10am actually (finishing at 3am), so the Game will well and truly be over by the time it airs. Better than nothing I suppose.
The 60 min WWE RAW package also moves from it’s usual Thu/Fri midnight slot to Sat/Sun midnight this week.
Oops I forget both game 1 will be held on the same night.
why is channnle 9 not broadcast 3 hour raw
only the 1 hour show only?
Foxtel probably has exclusivity for the full shows.

If viewers in the core market (the US) aren’t tuning into the 3 hour RAW programs whose ratings have been consistently lower than ever before in the last year or two, how can Australians be expected to do so?

Perth Wildcats will face defending champions Melbourne United in the 2018/19 NBL Grand Final Series after they beat Brisbane Bullets and Sydney Kings respectively this weekend. The five-game series begins in Perth on Friday night.
Game 1: RAC Arena, Friday 8 March, 9.30pm AEDT
Game 2: Melbourne Arena, Sunday 10 March, 2.30pm AEDT
I expect 9GO! will show the day matches live and night matches on delay.

Best of 4 games (how does that work), or is it best of 5 games?
It is still best of five games. If game 5 is required then the NBL will reveal broadcast details next week.
Does this mean the NT is getting the two Friday night games on a 90 minute delay?
Schedule for NTD is that posted above for 9Go!
Bit unlucky for them but I guess they’re used to it. Know they get less Tour de France for example. Shame it’s 2019 and delayed sport shouldn’t happen. It’s great though that most of the country gets to see this finals series live, hopefully 9 get it in HD next year.
Brisbane and Adelaide are also delayed on Friday nights.
Yeah, I got that. Was more that most of the time TV Networks only mention the 5 capital city metro schedule without any obvious care for anywhere else. Would be much easier if Networks (and the NBL in this case) posted that Friday’s were live into NSW/ACT/Vic/Tas/WA (9GEM live and replay on 9Go it seems) and delayed into SA/Qld/NT.
