This is great. I get to watch an LA team play basically every night. We were spared the horrible pre season. We are spared the endless articles to fill in the 2-3 days between games. Teams actually play every night for a couple nights in a row. Um, just like when they were kids and practiced daily!
Oh, 66 games means the regular season MATTERS. We get to see teams improve on the fly as they integrate new schemes, coaches, players.
Other than the fact that everyone is probably just playing for 2nd place to Miami, this is a great NBA season. Far preferred to the wasted seasons past. They were too stretched out, too meaningless. This is truly fun.
