New Ruling Invites Ad Suggestions for NBA Jerseys

Experiencing Trail Blazers-Warriors analysis paralysis? Can't take one more interview about Game 2 losses and Game 3 adjustments? Confused about the Blazers playing Game 1 of this series on 36 hours of rest but waiting three...whole...days between the second and third games?
