Tonight is going to feel like an afterthought. A formality, really. The final preseason game is an utterly forgettable one to many fans. The broadcast even feels barely interested. Cutaways to sideline reports with starters in sweats and promos for some show on the CW that’ll last six episodes before going belly up. The league may not even have these games in the next CBA, especially as the league’s push for an 18 game season continues.
Which is a shame. Because to so many on the field, this game means everything. The last chance to make one of the up-for-grabs spots on the 53 man roster.
