What bugs the hell out of me is that when a game is advertised to start at 6:30pm, tip off is closer to 6:45.

Why?!?

It is always like that. 98% of NBA games start 10 minutes after the scheduled time.

Just wondering why? NFL games pretty much always start as advertised!

I don't know. With NBA and MLB, the games just usually start 10 minutes after for whatever reaon

It's not so bad over here. But back in the UK, when games started at 3am it was a right pain in the ass

because they pay for that start time - & station has plenty of commentating that will fill in the time gap.

NBA Gametime is pretty lame. They don't show enough live action. Too much talking between the "experts" around the table and not enough actual game look-ins.

Not sure if tonight is a great night to make that assessment of them. Very light schedule tonight with only 3 games on all at completely different times.

wow, Jordan Clarkson's feelin' it...

Lakers with a great comeback as the Pelicans are falling apart. 23-5 run to cut the Pelicans lead down to 3.

Yeah this lineup provided a huge spark. I'm allowing this group to end the game if I'm Luke
