turning on NBA games, I assume that part of the appeal is to see a team play another quality team. I would be much more interested in watching an NBA team play another NBA team than to watch an NBA team play a Japanese pro basketball team.

I get needing 3 or 4 warmup games, but 8 of them? Who knows maybe Fresno St. will actually have a pulse this year and they won't be as bad as they were last season.
