Title.

I feel post-game threads make more sense to be bot-automated, due to the box score labor. But perhaps game threads less so.

I feel game threads in general aren't suited to Lemmy. I am considering hosting live game chats on Discord or Quebic (a "Signal-meets-Discord") for Lemmy NBA. I believe there is also already a Lemmy NBA Discord if I'm not mistaken.

I think the bot should do post game threads, for the most part, but if there's a game thread, it should be consolidated to "Game Thread for X Day" that includes all games that day.

This would probably produce the best results for activity entering the season.

I like consolidating the conversation for now, given the size of the community and volume of posts a separate game and post-game thread would create. I think it makes sense to have a single game thread that is used for both intra and post game discussion. The bot can update the post body to reflect the final box score once the game is over (assuming that is possible) or leave the box score in a reply to the original post.

That is the right idea, I totally agree: it will encourage users and potential new users to join the discussion and bond

On a similar note, has the bot's code been made public? I'd love to institute something similar for c/nyknicks just for knicks games

They were doing every game during latter half of summer league and it worked well. I think look for the posts here, and cross-post to your sub (for post game threads that is).
