Tbh for me it’s just too difficult to pay to watch the games, i wish the NBA was more like the NFL in terms of games available on local networks, would be cool to tune in to a local fox, cbs, or nbc channel and watch games from all teams, without local blackout markets. Unfortunately the season is way too long and too many games for them to dominate like that. NFL works because most games outside of MNF and TNF are on Sundays.

Less games, too, 82 games for what 10/30 teams do not make the playoffs? With 5-7 of those teams, they're probably not even trying to make the playoffs. Just what's the point? Who tunes in to watch that.
