    Nah, assume they wouldn't play many of their guys preseason. Roster that old, I'm sure they'll use the last game to get the feel back. I would be watching this game today even if it was the Pacers vs the Grizz. Love me some hoop. Funny thing is I'm recording 6 games Monday night.

    I hear the Lakers are going to have sponsor logos on their uniforms for Metamucil and Depends this season.

    How come the Lakers have 6 preseason games, and the Blazers have 4?

    I assume he got the J&J so it’s just one shot, but it seems he’s cutting the two-weeks after the shot a bit short.

    The number of regular season games plus an average for preseason or playoff games or something? That is a weird number.

    Good question. Trying to do some math to get there, but not getting an exact. With 30 teams, multiplying that by 91.6 gets to 2748. 30 teams playing 82 games gets to 2460.
    Still a difference of 288. Factoring in the playoffs, there is potential for 105 games, multiplied times 2 teams, that's 210. Still a difference of 78 "games" Too small of a number to factor in preseason games, but that's all I got.
