Does the NBA really not have the ability to flex their national TV schedule yet? Really Miami vs NY instead of Harden making his debut?

Wolves schedule during this upcoming 10 days is brutal...3 straight back to backs...how often does this even happen these days? Some of the Back-to-backs are Home & Away too.

Feb 24th - Grizz (H)
Feb 25th - Sixers (H)
Feb 28th - Cavs (A)
Mar 1st - Warriors (H)
Mar 4th - OKC (A)
Mar 5th - POR (H)

Prediction: Minnesota shatters their concession revenue record tonight. The game ends up lasting five hours as Embiid amd Harden combine for 70 FTA in which fans are too tipsy to drive home and also boosts the local uber and taxi industries.

Wizards with no Beal = easy Spurs victory.

That involves the back-end game being moved, as LAL/LAC isn't a 730 Pacific tip, they really cannot.

Unfortunate, but TV scheduling doesn't normally have the foresight or immediate flexibility to change on a whim. (sometimes, you notice a national TV game added that may not have been on the schedule, but not normally a double-header added due to scheduling issues)

Chet and Poku on the same team and then trade for Bol Bol.

All we have to do is avoid playing teams with centers.

*Checks seeding* maybe they don't want to draw Milwaukee in round 1.

They are playing good basketball w/o Beal/Dinwiddie, they move the ball very well.

Liking SA's chance with KP not playing. I thought I heard he might play after all star break but if they're smart they'll just hold off until next season. Healthy KP wouldn't be great for tanking, although I remember Pop can be a shameless tanker himself, but that was when he was trying to manipulate playoff seeding, in their current state I'm not even sure if they're tanking, it'd be hard to catch anybody else

They play virtually no defense.

Embiid vs KAT

Finally we get to see one of the 76ers or Nets in their real form tonight.

Can't wait to watch it.

It's freaking absurd.

Hell I'd rather watch the Beard on replay than the fight of crap LA teams too. They need to do better.

Who ya got?
