NBA pbp missing early October games from 2002 - 2007 #137

I'm not sure if this is a known thing but I think I found this to be true for at least 2002 - 2007 but there could be more seasons as well.

For instance the 2005 season started Nov 1 but the first games in the pull are for Nov 2nd.

nba_pbp05 <- hoopR::load_nba_pbp(seasons = 2005)

nba_pbp05 |> 
  distinct(game_date) |> 
  arrange(game_date) |> 
  head()

output:

1 2004-11-02 2 2004-11-03 3 2004-11-04 4 2004-11-05 5 2004-11-06 6 2004-11-07

Any chance this can be updated and fixed? Thanks so much.
