Wow - lots of good games...I'll be missing most of the earlier ones, but my DVR is set to get Cavs/Clippers and OKC/SAS. Edit - also added NYK/TOR to the record list.

Lots of games where it's very hard to pick the winner.

Man we got some nice and juicy games. Anybody else notice that this year? It feels like so many teams are playing good at least and so many teams have star players.

How many times is Phoenix going to face the Lakers damn man. I can already see it on ESPN “OMG LONZO with the TRIPLE DOUBLE BECAUSE HE CUT HIS HAIR!!”. Lonzo going to have a great night and this will be talked about on Undisputed and everywhere about how amazing Lonzo is

This year has been great for league pass. Usually a great game or two every night. Plus lots of real fun rookies to watch.

God Paul Pierce is so bad. ESPN need to drop him as soon as they can.

I'd get better analysis from a turkey.

I know he can’t help it but his voice sucks. I just want to give him a cough drop.

Check that, ESPNs entire pregame show is bad. Time to cancel it completely.

Big test for the rookie Thornwell - he's guarding the GOAT tonight.

My god, what is going on with the Cavs? Every other game, they look like trash. Can't score against the Clippers? Really?

I literally thought it impossible for me to go for the Clippers at any time in my life, but then they play the Cavs and all of a sudden I'm cheering for them.
