    Games that are on NBATV are blacked out on NBA league pass, which is a problem for those who pay for the one and don't get the other.

    I think that answers you question, its preseason, theres no intensity like in regular season, and so far starters played limited minutes... Im fine with it, but still, want to see Collins and Biggie get a lot of playing time

    With guys that already are proven? What's the point? Nurk especially I'd coddle and sit completely.

    It makes some sense to use the B2B as an opportunity replicate regular season realities. Basically, he's treating this like NFL teams treat game 3 of the preseason--like a regular season dress rehearsal.

    I imagine they'll probably have significantly reduce minutes in the final 2 preseason games at Phoenix and against Maccabi.
