Nets won’t have Dennis Smith Jr. tonight at Houston in the second game of a back-to-back. Team says Smith Jr. is out with lower back soreness. Prior to tonight, Smith Jr. had played in seven consecutive games for BKN; he’d missed the previous seven with a back issue. – 7:08 PM

Hit 9K followers today. Pretty surreal considering I was under 3K when I joined the Nets beat full-time at the start of last season.
Thank you to everyone who supports my work and makes what I do each day such an enjoyable experience.
Much more to come. – 5:39 PM

Deleted the post about the Rockets’ changed television schedule. (Serves me right for trying to read emails at a red light.) TNT picked up Rockets at Oklahoma City. The game is Feb. 27. Now you may plan accordingly. – 3:18 PM

Thunder vs Rockets on February 27th will now be getting the Chuck, Ernie, Kenny and Shaq treatment on TNT.
NBA saw OKC beat Boston, Denver and Minnesota over the last couple weeks and wisely decided SGA, Chet, JDub and Co needed more national TV games. – 2:37 PM

The vivacity Day’Ron Sharpe has continued to shine through the mess in Brooklyn. Multiple efforts matter.
The third-year center must play more if the Nets care about winning. Data supports it. So does the eye test.
And that’s a radical truth.

The NBA has noticed the Thunder. The Thunder just had 2 games flexed onto national TV:
— OKC at the Spurs on Jan. 24 (ESPN)
— Rockets at OKC on Feb. 27 (TNT)
Four other games were just switched onto national TV, too, including Kings-76ers and Hornets-Spurs on Jan. 12 pic.twitter.com/N2QegmsWgt – 2:13 PM

The Pistons’ home game against the #Rockets on Jan. 12 will no longer be televised by ESPN, the league just announced.
After starting the season with four national TV games, the Pistons will finish the year with just one — which was their 128-122 overtime loss to the Celtics. – 2:07 PM

Because Damian Lillard apparently wasn’t traded to the Heat, TNT today dumped the Heat at Blazers game on Feb. 27 and replaced it with Houston-OKC. Also, because of the writer’s and actor’s strikes (now resolved), ABC has NBA next 5 Wednesdays, beginning with Bulls-Knicks tonight – 2:07 PM
