NBA 2025-26 Schedule Release

Get used to those 11pm ET games. The West Coast will want a full primetime 8pm game like the east coast has.

Edit: which is crazy now that I looked it up, only 17% of the population lives in Pacific time zone.
Eastern has 47%, Central has 29%, and Mountain about 7%

I didn’t even notice it at first. 11 PM EST start time on a Tuesday night is crazy

You’re basically punting the East coast views lol

Saw someone bring up that for Tuesdays NBC might have an East coast prime time game and a West coast one for the broadcast channel with both being streamed live on Peacock. Hence why you have one starting at 8 PM EST and the other at 8 PM PST

For someone who was gonna watch both regardless that’s trash but I guess they’re banking on casuals only watching one. We’ll see

Edit:

Edit:

I have peacock so it’s whatever but that’s the downside of antenna tv. They have to have their usual 5pm/6pm news coverage for the locals

I mean, if you can just look past the gang affiliations, rape case, ratchet baby momma, sex worker mistress, and ever protruding gut/dad bod... he's still that same lovable baby-faced kid from Duke

Hilarious subliminal programming that the TV ends with the ref- the real star of the show
