NBA Pick 'Em, Anyone?: If SportsFilter ran an NBA Pick 'Em of the nationally televised games on TNT and ESPN, would you be interested in playing?

Sure. Are you thinking pick all of the week's games on Monday (or something) or daily check-ins?

I envision a weekly post, probably on Wednesday, but players could make picks on any day for as many days in the future as they want and change them up to tipoff.

Does anybody know if ESPN or TNT changes their chosen games during the season after the schedule comes out?

Complete TV schedule.

From that link's count of 143 games (TNT, ESPN and ABC), a 24-week regular season would mean 6 picks a week.

There is flex scheduling, so it might work better to not let players pick beyond 7 days into the future. That way we're not picking games that get swapped off TV.

Games start next Tuesday, so the first NBA Pick 'em post would be this Friday.

I'm in. Maybe the round ball will bounce more predictably than that watermelon shaped one.

I'll be in for the playoffs again but I'll pass on a full season pick'em.
