So... Yesterday, which wasn't a holiday, featured early games. Today, the actual holiday, no early games.

Make it make sense silver.

And no national tv games when most people are at home in front of the tube. At least give us an NBAtv game.

Probably to accommodate players enjoying new year's eve. Early games yesterday so they could do something afterwards, and late games today so they could sleep in.

But yeah, some day games today would be cool for us fans.

Two Sundays ago there were 3 games scheduled and they started at 6pm, 7pm, and 7pm, nearly completely overlapping. :noway:

Dude can finish. And rebound.

Struggling with everything else, though. Disappointing year thus far.

Rockets in a tough spot missing 100% of the Terror Twins. Maybe Whitmore and others will stand in the gap.

No Jalen Johnson so Atlanta may as well get ready for the Lakers.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.
