Nope, that's not the case.

If you're referring to the situation near the end of the regular season, it was that the thread was created for a game when there was another game before it yet to be played. It would be like if I had created a WCF Game 1 thread tonight...

Tomorrow I'll fly to Kuala Lumpur for a business trip, if the game is on Sunday (US time) it means that in Malaysia should be approximately Monday morning, right?

edit: will my Italian league pass works from there?

No. Depends on Knicks v Pacers. If they go to game 7 we play in the evening and late afternoon if they don’t.

I think Wolves have a decent chance of winning this unless there is a lopsided difference in 3 pt shooting. Despite Jokic playing incredibly in G4, G5, the other major factor in those games was Nuggets role players shooting extremely well from 3, like way above their normal level. That didn't repeat yesterday

Tt will be one of the most heartfelt games in my history as a Timberwolves fan (which began way back in 1996).
