The Celtics Pistons opener at 3pm ET is ahead of the 7 and 9:30pm games, the whole NBA season starts before dinner

It was literally reported at the time of the schedule release that it鈥檚 at 3pm so overseas fans will be able to watch it. Also why would the game be played at 7 when the Knicks ring ceremony will be at the same time

This is personal to me because I played for my local team and we would always lose practice spots because pickleball got priority. So this tweet is a joke targetted directly at me

Replying to @JTatumL...: Thinking it's a real report until you realize it's a 65 year old pickleball tournament taking priority over the NBA season opener has me crying

wake up. there's no world in which pistons v celtics is at primetime on opening day regardless. my guess would be there was a lot more strategy that went into this.
