I don't care about having nationally televised game unless we're actually a contender. But its fun to be that under the radar young underrated underdog team that everyone loves

so we play miami twice in a row on non-consecutive days and then philly does the same here the next week. i guess that's one way to cut down on travel

also we got 4 national espn/tnt games from what i saw.

we close with two against the celics in boston and then the bucks at home... jeez. :lol:

Looks like the nba went back to the covid schedule where they are reducing travel by making teams play all their games in the city at one time.

I dig the idea. Fans can travel to watch more than 1 game in that city now too.

It also gives players less excuses... although they'll still find other ones to say how playing in the nba in "inhumane" lol.

9 nationally televised games is pretty good for a non-contender imo.
I counted 13 back 2 back is also pretty good too.

That's a pretty tough schedule out of the gates (10 of our first 11 games are against teams that were +.500 last season) and brutal end. Yeeeesh

Guys can get recognition as is, but it’s really not even close to the same as if we were playing more nationally televised games


Sure but we have had segments on TNT. That whole open gym segment with Vince presenting the ROY award to Scottie was on Inside the NBA. I saw it trend on twitter lol.

Do you think that’s the same as having a full game broadcasted live for the general audience of NBA fans?


Have you seen NBA regular season ratings lately? It's really not much to write home about unless LBJ and Steph Curry are playing.

Yeah, I feel like NBPA may be behind this idea. Makes sense for players.

NBA made sure travel miles were less than 41,000 miles
