The Thunder will appear on national TV (ABC, ESPN, TNT) just three times this season, down from 27 last season. And for the first time since 2009, the Thunder don’t play on Christmas.

bulls and knicks not even 10 combined lol

Is it just me or does that seem about right. Maybe too many Celtics games, but otoh I think the Celtics will be a lot of fun this year

it does seem pretty fair. sacramento and atlanta should both be pretty fun to watch so you could make a case for them to get more but they still suck so its not surprising, they're good for league pass darlings.

the league is clearly banking on zion being a star right out of the gate... 30 games for pels could end up being a very bad choice.

yeah, that might be more than year one zion needs. favors, zion, ingram, redick, and holiday could be a solid starting 5, but it's kind of hard to predict how well it'll work.

The prophecy foretold that when the young Ball finds his way to Zion the skies will thunder and kingdom of heaven will rain dunk highlights upon the faithful. So let it be written, so let it be done.

LOS ANGELES -- Tyronn Lue is close to a deal with the LA Clippers to become a top assistant coach on Doc Rivers' staff.

A source familiar with the situation confirmed to ESPN that Lue is nearing a deal to reunite with Rivers. The New York Times first reported that the Clippers are closing in on a contract with Lue.

They should still be able to beat anyone. Their defense should be really solid w that roster.
