All of the start times of tonight's games are staggered by 15 minutes. That's pretty cool.

Makes me think they should do something like this more often and market it as a big event. Maybe have TNT or ESPN broadcast the final few minutes of every game as a middle finger to the people who say, "the only important part of a basketball game is the final 2 minutes".

Exactly. Except not gated behind Direct TV or or some paywall. Put it in YouTube or Twitch. Get crazy.

I'm all for creative ways to make these sports with long regular seasons more interesting.

yup, reminds me of baseball and I like that they are introducing the pitch clock, etc.

Congrats to the Lakers.

The East is coming into view.

CLE has lost four in a row and fell back to Earth for now.

BOS has won six in a row and rising.

MIL dropped its last game but still 8-2 in their last 10.

BOS/MIL separating from the pack.

[4/5]

I'm a few days late but Joel Embiid good grief.

Also, Jimmy locking up Booker at the end last night was a thing of beauty.

BOS at 17-4, wow. Still, MIL has lost only five games and I'd still take Giannis over Tatum or Brown, but man it's getting closer there especially for Tatum.

I haven't been able to watch many games the past 1-2 weeks, but it seems like the quality of play is up this year. Thank god they eliminated the fast break fouling nonsense.

I've just been watching the C's and they are putting teams away in the first quarter like grownups.

So true, but like any NBA team they always blow the lead a bit in the second half.

The shot making at the end of this Blazers/Nuggets game has been absurd.
