I wonder if anyone keeps track of how NBA teams play on national games. I have a hunch that LeBron and the Lakers will play better tonight because it's on ESPN than they would otherwise.

Per rcade's question: I don't see any difference in quality or intensity of play by the teams in nationally broadcast games. I do see that many such games tend to be closer than perhaps they should be. ESPN and TNT viewers will look for other things to watch if the game is a blowout early. Does the officiating have something to do with this?

My son (who is making all our picks) is wondering whether rcade buys himself the prize if he wins the league.
