I have also reported to TMZ that I am taking my name out of the running to be Scarlett Johanssen's new boyfriend.

Seems like the Knicks have signed their replacement for Melo: Michael Beasley.

I like that signing a lot.

With an expanded calendar as part of its new collective bargaining agreement, the NBA has taken the most aggressive measures to date to build rest into its schedule.

In a memo given to teams this week, the league outlined how it hopes to reduce the stresses of travel and give players a chance to recover more than in the past. This is a proactive measure aimed at both player safety and to reduce the number of games in which teams rest healthy players.

Much of this is made possible by extending the season by one week, staring earlier in October. Also, for the first time, the players' union is a part of the scheduling process to review possible problem areas.

Some of the new improvements include:

• Eliminating stretches of four games in five days and 18 games in 30 days.

• Reduction of five games in seven nights to just 40 instances across (1.3 per team), down from last year when it was on the schedule 90 times (three per team).

• Reduction in number of back-to-backs to 14.9 per team, down from 16.3 per team. In all, 40 back-to-backs have been eliminated from last season.

• Reduction of single-game road trips by 17 percent.

• Reduction in single-game road trips over 2,000 miles by 67 percent; there are only 11 of them on schedule.

• Increase in weekend games from 549 to 568, much of the boost coming on Saturdays. Previously the NBA avoided Saturdays and Sunday afternoons during football season to dodge conflicts.

Teams that have seen versions of their schedules can petition the league for changes. However, the overall themes will stay intact.

The schedule is expected to be finalized this week and portions are expected to be announced soon.

Denver nuggets jerseys look worse then last year :/ they look like Pacers redux/college unis

Also if these timberwolves uniforms are real lol. They look like they were made for the euroleague, I feel like their older jerseys had more personality

Been told that the Sixers will play the Knicks on Christmas Day at Madison Square Garden.

That's interesting.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Knicks get a Christmas game more often than not.

They lose them more often than not, too.

I like to imagine Kyrie penning "The List" by candlelight on an ancient scroll as an epic score plays in the background

While Cavs management watches and is like "You know that list literally does not matter at all, right?"

Randolph was believed to have intent to sell due to the large amount of marijuana allegedly in his possession

Warriors dominate even in jersey design--except those fugly gray sleeved ones they wear on Saturdays.

 

[Servbot24]

The grey unis are their best ones!

 

[Sandfox]

Lakers are playing the Clippers on opening night and will be playing the Timberwolves on Christmas. We'll get the rest of the opening games and christmas games in about 20 minutes.

Rockets at Thunder on Xmas Night at 8 ET. At least it won't be on at the same time as the Texans' Xmas Day Fuckball in the afternoon, though it really should've been at Toyota Center instead.
