Golden State at Memphis

Detroit at Charlotte? Gimmicky, and likely overwrought. A reeling Pistons team, Larry Brown against his old squad, gag me. Plus, lots of Aaron Aaarrronn Arron Afflalo. Nobody wants that.

Cleveland at Dallas? Slow and dull and ultimately boring. Fine players, popular players, but it doesn't strike a chord with me. It makes you wonder why ESPN hasn't picked this one up.

Sacramento at Philly? Interesting, but ultimately one-sided.

Clippers/Jazz? Too many missing people.

Bulls in Orlando? Close, but Orlando has had Chicago's number recently in Florida.

So what's left, on the last non-election day of the free NBA League Pass? A hoop junkie's delight ... Memphis/Golden State! In Memphis!

Sure, these two teams might struggle to top 50 wins combined this year, but for those who have to rely on national TV nonsense from here on out (like, say, the Cavaliers taking on the Mavericks), this is quite the sendoff.

Memphis has already beaten the Magic, stayed competitive against a championship-contender in the Houston Rockets, and hung with a Bulls team that was ready to fight after an embarrassing Halloween night loss on national TV. Sure, their offense is the league's worst, but they've also played three tough defensive team, and the Grizzly defense is a surprisingly stout seventh in the NBA this season.

Meanwhile, the Warriors have lost two of three as well, but they played New Orleans to a hilt last week, did the same with the Raptors over the weekend, before downing the Nets on Saturday night. Stephen Jackson is playing nearly 45 minutes a night, and Andris Biedrins (finally allowed to play starter minutes) is averaging 18 and 12 in 36 minutes a night.

I think it's worth your time. If you disagree with me, Clarkson races Hammond and Captain Slow to Oslo on BBC America at 8 p.m., and that's an unmitigated classic if there ever was one.

Shoot a comment or twelve below on whether I dropped the ball on this one, or we turn out a real winner.
