stuck with local coverage, if you even want that
KC Johnson, trying to hide a smile as he writes:
for the first time since 2009, the Bulls won't play on Christmas, the league's high-profile showcase that has grown to a five-game schedule.
The Bulls also won't make a national TV appearance in the opening week.
Here’s the schedule for the non-Bulls squads of the league. It’s just a pretty graphic.
The #KiaTipOff17 National TV Schedule!
— NBA (@NBA) August 10, 2017
10/17: BOS/CLE, HOU/GSW
10/18: PHI/WAS, MIN/SAS
10/19: NYK/OKC, LAC/LAL
10/20: CLE/MIL, GSW/NOP http://pic.twitter.com/68D6PPsj6c
I mean...this isn’t much content, but some random thoughts driven by my disgust over the Bulls:
- we get our Christmas back!
- The seven straight years of being in the marquee regular-season day of the NBA sounds like a Gar Format brag: "we've attained a certain level of success. 7 straight Christmas games, we're really proud of that. We're now on a new path and feel good" Of course not acknowledging that nearly all of said success (or at least relevance) was due to luck and market.
- The full schedule is out next week, but safe to say there’s going to be a big drop in national TV games. Downside there is it means Neil and Stacey are your only recourse. No ‘rebuilding’ of the telecast.
- I will miss the annual opening week game where the Bulls look good against LeBron’s team and people think the Bulls are good.
- There’s probably SOME chance for a #TNTBulls appearance this year, but maybe not! It’d be kinda more fun if the streak was kept alive by not allowing them to defend it.
- The season moving up is good for the players and the league in general, but means the feeling of dread in watching the 2017-18 Bulls season is more prominent even in these wonderful Bulls-less summer months.
- Fire GarPax.
