NBA EAST AND WEST TV

I believe that’s a first Thursday non-basketball game on National TV since a week after Chiefs/Bolts TNF on FOX which was the network’s programming finale. I get it that the networks probably believe it’s fair to diversify conference matchup and not leave one network with a bad hand and the other not (TNT had bad play-in matchups in 2021, while ESPN had the pot of gold), but my issue is there being no game on Thursday. So as much as I want Morant to get his acknowledgment on a organization like the Grizzlies, NBA has better options for that day and time slot.įinal point, I hope the play-in format going forward follows the 2021 than 2022. If Hawks plays as an 8-seed, we have a 8 over 1 upset possibility. So got to cash that in while you can if you’re the NBA to help market another young star.

NBA EAST AND WEST PRO

Ball never played for a prestige collegiate program like his oldest brother, obviously didn’t play in March Madness, he hasnt played on a noticeable pro team, and also in the playoffs which has him in a disadvantage vs Trae Young and Ja Morant. Some may ask why not just concrete Ja Morant Grizzlies on TNT and leave the Heat matchup on NBATV regardless of opponent? I can understand that case, but I must say it’s important for LaMelo Ball to get his recognition if the Hornets make the playoffs. To those that are above casual NBA fans, I know that the Cavs has a All-Star PG in Darius Garland, but there are casual/below casual NBA fans who wouldnt be able to identify him vs.

Both teams playing tonight has All-Star PGs that will bring help market a matchup vs top seeded Heat than the Cavs would at their current stage. I’m assuming Tuesday undecided game on TNT or NBATV all falls on if the winner of tonight’s Hornets/Hawks defeat the Cavs on Friday. Last year, TNT carried games on Tuesday and ESPN on Wednesday, with both networks carrying a single game on Friday. The NBA Play-in Tournament begins April 11 and runs through April 14.
