Man, look at the teams playing tonight... this has to be one of the worst nights to watch the NBA.

Nets vs. Bobcats
Hornets vs. Knicks
Rocket vs. Jazz (alright, this is a solid game)
Grizzlies vs. Kings
Timberwolves vs. Clippers

On the other hand, since it's bad teams vs. bad teams, the games might be interestingly close.

Well, Iverson returns tonight. That might be worth watching.

And on  ESPN, word is that Gay/Mayo are infighting.  Huh huh.  It's still funny to use their names in the same sentence.

And it's even more funny in french to add Thabeet in the mix. ;D

But this is clearly an awful NBA night. Even the Jazz/Rockets won't be so interesting since Utah (normally) has a big advantage over the Yao and T-Mac-less Rockets.

I don't know if they schedule around MNF, either way, Saints vs. Falcons is gonna be a sick game! Look for Pierre Thomas to have a huge game!

I think that lineup of games needs a title to tie it all together, like "Bottomfeeder Bonanza" or "StinkFest."  C'mon NBA marketing, make us want to watch!   :-X

In 2008-2009 the worst night to watch basketball was Sunday.  Remember how poorly the C's did in Sunday games, especially the afternoon games?

And Go Falcons!

How about "Ping-Pongapalooza"?  This is a crucial night for teams jockeying for lottery position.

Well the night isn't starting off well, the Nets of New Jersey lead the Bobcats of Charlotte by a riveting score of 14 to 10 at the end of the first quarter....

yes those games appear weak....however, personally i enjoy watching teams that NEVER are on tv.  im sick of watching a game (thats not a celtics game) and having one of the teams being the cavs, lakers, or magic.  i like seeing the crappy teams sometimes, and it makes it more "exciting" when the opposing team isnt too good, as it makes for a competitive game.  thats just me.

Absolutley Bonkers  ;D

Nah, they definently have individual skill. There are just way too many ego's to deal with in order to make that team click.
