The team is good
They play a fun style and score a ton of points
George Karl had cancer talking point
Seriously, they get 1, sometimes 2 national TV games every week.
I guess maybe b/c the Suns fell off, but show the Jazz or the Kings or the Warriors more
But why do they have to pick between those garbage teams to give all those nationally televised games to?
Because they naturally play in those time slots.
That used to not be a problem because the West always had exciting and good teams. Now the teams that usually play at 9ET or 10:30ET either suck, are unproven, or it's the same shyt. The selection isn't as wide later on, so the only thing you can really do is push a central team's start time back or move the first game's time up.
