I watch Laker games on League Pass the next morning before going to work. If you skip timeouts, halftime, free throw routines, etc, you can watch basically every possession in about an hour or so. And there's a "no spoilers" mode so you don't know the result ahead of time.
It works for me cos I'm naturally an early riser (up about 6:30 AM and don't have to leave for work until 8:00)
Every now and then there's a game I can watch live so I watch those regardless of who's playing.
Otherwise mostly highlights and once or twice a week watching a non-Laker game on replay if people are talking about it as a really good game.
