  1. Yeah I think the NBA dropped the ball here (no pun intended). They should have started the previous games earlier in the day. It’s 9:50 pm in the Midwest and the game still hasn’t started since we’re waiting for the Clippers/Phoenix game to end. Anyone with a job or school tomorrow won’t be able to catch most of the Den/MN game.

    Wolves fan living in Maine and I completely agree. It didn’t come in until almost 11. It’s ridiculous.

    He’s totally right. At this point no way kids that got school tomorrow can watch the whole game. As well as east coast fans.

    That’s just horrible business sense. Isn’t the idea to get as many viewers as possible?

    Edit: a word

    Join the club, Charles. And it’s not the only late game for the series 🙁

    Uhh, I’m sorry did Shaq just swear AT children???
    Like he cussed out children?

    Generally frowned upon… lol

    Using Denver local time but not, ya know, the Minnesota fans who also might want to watch the game and it’s even more egregious

    $5 says they don’t know what time zone Minneapolis is in

    He’s 100% right. It’s gonna be fucking midnight before halftime on the east coast.

    Wolves and Memphis also got screwed over last year when it came to start times, like literally neither team is on the west or rocky timezone yet they kept playing us in the late night slot.

    This year they have both phoenix and LA playing each other and they still decided to put us on after them, what kind of rational is that? If you are trying to appease the west coast crowd, then play the west coast teams.

    Also makes no sense to do this on a Sunday and on Saturday they started everything earlier, flip it if you insist on these late night games. Just dumb scheduling by the NBA
