Orlando is kind of boring, but I like seeing Boston's crazy defense with KG and teams try to beat Cleveland to make LeBong cry.

Orlando boring? Since when is defense a ratings monster?

If nothing else, Orlando will be highly entertaining with two former slam-dunk champions in the starting lineup.

A team that shoots a lot of three pointers is boring?

D-Wade on Orlando would be pure excitement

I don't know, I thought Jameer made them more exciting, but just jacking up 3's and that run and gun style. I don't really like it anymore.

Dwight is the only interesting player to me. I'm not really excited about the actual whole team. Hopefully vince can add to them.

WTF? Boston, Cleveland.

Even New Jersey with Harris and Brook Lopez is interesting.

So you would rather watch Harris and Lopez then Howard, Nelson, Lewis, VC, and company...

How is Harris running up and down the court and scoring all by himself fun to watch? Sorry I forgot Brook Lopez' rebounds and putbacks after Devin misses

If I were programming the schedule for these big national games, I would spread it out a little more, when possible. Most of the bad teams who have no games could be showcased with creative marketing once a year.

For instance, you could have one night on TNT that's billed as "rookie showcase night," and have a doubleheader with Bucks vs Wolves (Jennings/Rubio if he comes over), and Kings vs Thunder (Evans/Harden). Do that early in the season before the playoff race heats up, and you've shown off four teams that wouldn't otherwise be on tv.
