They have the Matinee games right now.

The problem is the guys don’t play either due to injuries, resting or whatever reasons. Nostalgia is really the only reason why people would be excited about that but it’s not like we’d be getting better games there either.

Ok, correction, I want more matinee games after the NFL season if NBC coverage returns.

I definitely don't think resting is the issue, but the league needs to better schedule out that lead up to the 'premiere' games.

People want NBA on NBC back right up to the point when they realize how bad their studio show will probably be lol, and who even knows what the play-by-play team will be. Then the hate will start. How do we even go back to weekend matinee games feeling special when we can watch literally any game we want all week now? If you're a complete hoops nerd you can watch games all day every day on league pass, and if you're more of a casual you're probably too busy having your mind rotted out by short form viral NBA videos on repeat to even know what NBC even is.

When you say they need to be better in regards to scheduling, what do you mean?

If you’re talking about getting rid of B2B, those are already scaled down dramatically(not completely gone but hopefully they will be soon)but aside from starting the season later OR cutting down games(not happening)im not sure what else they can do.

This is the other part I forgot about.

If folks hate ABC/ESPN NBA’s coverage, then you’re not going to like NBC’s either because it’s going to be the same set up with loudmouth talking heads and probably Rachel Nichols or Sage Steele on there lol

Otto Porter Jr retires. I feel like I'm getting old now. I remember when he got drafted. That whole 2013 draft was pretty disappointing.

Never played a game with the Jazz either.

Did they know he for sure wouldn't be coming back?

Speaking of the 2013 draft, it's crazy how much that draft sucked yet still produced the best player in the NBA.

stunning stat, at least to me (regarding rest and injuries and everything), Anthony Davis has only missed 4 games this year

RJ Barrett will be out for a while after his brother passed away.

Must especially suck after getting traded to your hometown team and now getting to play infront of your friends and family, and a few months later losing one of those close family members who no doubt was excited to see you back home.
