    All season, I've had this hunch that we suck when games start at 7:30pm versus 7:00pm... so I went and compiled the data.

    We are 6-11 in games that start @ 7:30pm local time. After X-Mas, when our record is 32-17, we're still 4-7.

    No causation here, just weird correlation.

    You're wasting prime off-season material!

    I dunno; it's a very manual process to dig up.

    Also, aren't 7:30 games usually national TV games or big home games? I'd be willing to guess most 7:30 starts are against better teams.

    That and Warriors home games are almost always at 730 for some reason. That's two losses right there.

    Not necessarily; it's also to do with traffic. New York, Brooklyn, New Orleans, Totonto, and Philly were 7:30 local time games.
