2021-2022 Milwaukee Bucks

The league may not care about ratings, but the networks do. If they're going to continue to dole out the big bucks to the league, they better be allowed to use the match ups they think will draw fan interest.

The networks will decide which match ups give them the most exposure for the advertising dollars they're bringing in to offset that huge pay day they give the NBA. It may be a "mutually agreed upon" arrangement, but let's face it. Money talks.

LA and NY are the two big markets for the NBA. Not certain what the entire pecking order is, but I'd guess a lot of it is concentrated in the Northeastern corridor.

Which was my point. The other thing is LA home games start at 10:30 ET so your not getting those in some prime weekday slot to begin with

Hopefully networks see after this year Lakers are trash won't be good anytime soon and stop them on prime time so much

I would like to see flex scheduling late in season when games matter more

You can’t. #1 the league will protect the teams with RSN games since that’s directly tied to team revenue. #2 logistics to get crews to the games can’t be done in 2-3 days and even 1 week is difficult. And let’s say you “flex” to Milwaukee/ Philadelphia and Giannis is out. Can’t compare NBA scheduling to the NFL

Still I would rather see winning teams play then trash teams just because 1 super star is on team and you don't know if he will sit out either.
