Players, teams and the league need to realize this is their money. Networks aren’t gonna pay for mostly crap games.


Who is resting?


Harden


Not by choice.

Can't wait for them to wax the Celtics.


I cant tell if the Bucks are that good or the 76ers are that bad. Dame is feasting in this game.

Nick Nurse like the rest of the Raptors rode Kawhis back and an injured GSW to a championship. He has no business being a head coach otherwise.

I think Maxey can only “breakout” so far because his defense will be bad. His offense will be better, but to me he’s not going to be a number 1 or 2 guy on a championship team.

Well we might not be seeing Dame time tonight yet, since this game might be over before the 4th quarter.

Embiid asking for a trade mid game. Got his mvp and knows this team isn’t going anywhere

Thou shall not try and take on the NFL. Its going to be worst on Christmas. NFL is basically going to screw up the league’s marquee day this year

The NFL also plays on Thursday.

Doesn't make sense to have too many NBA games while the NFL is king of sports.

It blows my mind he wasn't asking for a trade after last season, especially with Harden going into full blown "I want out now!" mode.

Everyone bringing up the NFL and ratings, thanks, I didn't consider it from TNT's perspective and why they'd lobby for this.

Embiid would be foolish to not demand a trade. This PHI team is a disaster

Definitely not Denver because he’d only play half the games

Embiid isn't going to last long with the Sixers....he's not putting up with a team where he doesn't have at least 1 or 2 allstars by his side.
