How does Basketball scheduling work? Is there a key day where you know there will always be good games, and so I should make sure I always tune in at like 7:00 on a Thursday or something like that? A reliable marquee matchup day/time? Or is it just whenever and I should watch all games all the time

Thursday nights are when TNT airs games on national TV and they usually have a lot of the good ones. After football season is over they also air some games nationally on ABC on Sundays that are generally good. I think when they make the schedules they generally try to put the games between 2 good teams with broad appeal (like Golden State, Houston, SA, Cleveland, OKC, etc) on Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun

I'd say the key times are 8 ET Thursday TNT double-header and the Wednesday ESPN double-header that starts at either 7 or 8 ET depending on who's playing. There's good stuff happening all week really but I think a lot of marquee matchups are scheduled for national broadcast at those times. There's also ESPN's Friday double-header, Christmas Day, and the ABC weekend games that start around new year's. I've always perceived the Wednesday ESPN games as slightly better than Friday but that's based on absolutely nothing

When IT comes back aren't they going to be in the same boat with Wade and Rose coming off the bench together?

Would it be more prudent to go IT/Wade and Rose/Smith?

Bit late with this post, but IT/Rose would probably make the most sense; Rose is a shadow of what he once was and he was frequently playing stupid and driving into multiple defenders, but if IT hasn't had his game ruined by his hip there's enough scoring potential between Thomas, Bron, and Love (to a lesser extent) to force the kind of space on the floor Rose needs to play meaningful minutes.

When young guys get big minutes they usually hit a wall around 1500 or so. It's just so much harder than a college or prep season. Tatum was also a tale of two halves. First half he looked completely lost. He turned on in the third quarter, but you'll see more of that first half play this season. What we saw in the third quarter was great though, and I think he is a super encouraging rookie.

Jay Brown, man he looked great. That is basically exactly what you want from a second year guy.

This is why I'm feeling like the demise of the Celtics is a bit overstated atm. There's so much young talent playing well on the team right now, and they're all going to get better as the season progresses.

It's cold comfort after such a lovely turn of events, but at least the future looks bright in Boston, and that's a lot more than you can say about most of the other teams in the east.

I know you only started following the NBA the year after that MVP so you might have missed CP3 was better that year. The first part of my last sentence was a joke, please don't get offended.

It's difficult to speculate given there's still so many unknowns. But I think it's likely gonna be 12 weeks at least based on what we have right now. He'll probably be evaluated at that mark. There's an outside chance he's able to play again this season, but again the only other example I have in my database, the injury occurred in November and the player missed the final 68 games recovering. He's going to be up against it.
