What time is the Magic vs. Celtics game?
Posted: Sunday, February 2, 2014, 9:09 AM
In deference to the Super Bowl, the NBA has scheduled just one game for Sunday. It is ... not a promising game.
The headline to this post is a Super Bowl-related joke.
The NBA may begrudge the NFL's schedule dominance. It may begrudge the NFL's immense popularity. But it does not question it. Thus, on the holiest day of football, the NBA has scheduled but one game, and it is a stinker: the Orlando Magic (13-35) at the Boston Celtics (15-33).
The Celtics are on a four-game losing streak, and have shown no signs of making a run at relevance since Rajon Rondo returned to the lineup. The Magic are 3-7 over their last 10 games, and may be preparing to sell off a veteran or two as the trade deadline approaches in order to make room for younger prospects and a top 2014 draft pick.
The game is scheduled for 1 p.m. Eastern. No national TV outlet dares airing it for fear its drawing power will overwhelm the early hours of pre-game festivities.
