Re: 10/30 - 11/7 Games Discussion Thread.
Yeah Pretty much, Same thing for Boston vs Miami, didn't have to wait for the build up since it's early in the year. Also these guys are professionals, They know Division Games mean something. It's not like they're half assing it. Knicks and Nets will always come to play regardless when they play same can be said about the other teams in the division.Comment

I agree with Ex in that you should want your division games to have some significance to them(may not have much because of the long grind of a season)to have them mean something, they shouldn't be scheduled this early in the year, especially doing a Back to Back.#RespectTheCultureComment

Yeah but even still These guys know what Divisional Games mean, They're coming to play regardless when in the season they play. For Example if the Knicks and Nets game wasn't postponed those two teams aren't gonna come to play?Comment

Teams aren't coming to play? That isn't even in question at all, nobody questioned that.
The point is, no team is going to look anything close to the finished product this early in the season.
Having some divisional games early are not a big deal at all but to have a divisional game against the same team, back to back, in the first week of the season? Doesn't even make any damn sense.Comment

It was only a matter of time before the Lakers got brought into this, lol.
But yeah, playing back to back against the same division team doesn't make much sense. Otherwise if they want to do that, then they need to schedule more division games(5-6 instead of 4) and treat non division games like they do non conference games in that you play those teams twice a year.#RespectTheCultureComment

And I'm glad he's not - this still should be treated with suspensions rather than fines. I know they probably thought about the fine halfway thru the act though lol#WashedGamerComment

Who the **** is Donald Sloan?Comment

In the games I've watched, it does seem like there is a lot less "flopping" going on.
Charges are being taken. But that's about it.Comment
