The NBA released their opening slate of national TV games yesterday afternoon, and the Utah Jazz found themselves off the list. This list included two games on Tuesday December 22nd, two games on December 23, and five games on Christmas December 25. With 18 slots available for a stint in the national spotlight, you would think the Jazz would have fallen into one of those places.
National TV for the season's first 3 days (presumably no games on Christmas Eve):
Nets 2x
Warriors 2x
Clippers 2x
Lakers 2x
Bucks 2x
Celtics 2x
