Is this game on anywhere?

NBA TV

Can't wait to see Butler take this team to the next level after last year's playoff season...

I curious to see Nunnally's three point shot.

You never stated which direction they would be heading towards this next level.

Any idea if they black out the local pre season games?

DRose is starting tonight.
Thibs plan is coming into light.

Mainly watching this game to see four things.

- Towns is my favorite player. So, naturally, I'll tune in to watch him.

- Curious to see if Wiggins looks any better, or if it'll be the same old Andrew with the broken handle and reluctance to play smart, aggressive basketball.

- Excited to see the difference, if any, between Josh Okogie in Summer League and Josh Okogie in the preseason. I expect his energy and defense to be there, which is always a good start, but I'd like to see something within his offensive repertoire that shows signs of potential and progression on that end. Reminder that Donovan Mitchell looked completely different after those several months after Summer League. Not saying Okogie is that kind of beast, but I'm watching to see signs.

- Has Tyus Jones taken another leap? Every year this guy just gets better and it's visible to both the eye and the stat sheet. I'd like to see him be stronger, maybe a little bit bulkier, and have some improved individual scoring moves. He's terrific as a game-manager and facilitator, and improved to an elite defender last year, but the next step is him being able to create offense for himself. I genuinely like rooting for this kid.

Lets do this.
