Awful lot of stuff on TV tonight, although very little of it is any good. Stanford/ASU is worth checking out, and so is Dallas/Phoenix, even without Shaq in the lineup.The real wart on tonight's schedule is that dreadful Chicago/Miami game. Just brutal. Who in God's name would go to that game on Valentine's Day? Let alone watch it. No one, literally no one. Even D-Wade is mad about having to play in this one. The NBA better find a way to do that Flex Game deal that the NFL did pretty effectively this last season.
