NBA Pickem Week 14: NBA Every Day: The NBA is all over the television and the bookstore this week, starting tonight with an NBC doubleheader of Bucks/Sixers and Clippers/Jazz. The peloton is catching me in the pickem standings after I forgot to submit picks after games 1 and 2. Ufez wins the week with 46. Make your picks.

This is a lot of basketball. What do y'all think about a maximum of 8 games a week, giving preference to games in this order -- ABC and NBC first, ESPN second, Prime third?

I'm good with whatever, but tbh I find myself enjoying (and therefore watching) Prime's coverage a lot more than ESPN's, and not just for Nowitzki-related reasons.
