Normally I'd agree but then I have also bitched about the NBA constantly showing the same damn teams on national tv. Warriors are on enough. Derozan is with the Spurs and the Suns are trying to build a young nucleus. I have no beef with putting that game on to give them some exposure. It's a blowout, though.

C'mon.. watching the warriors cast 3s is wayyy better than watching derozan who im pretty sure you've trashed during the annual Raptors playoff routine

Do you not know how to stream games? 

[BigOrange1 6,611]

nba players showing up to work in full halloween costumes is one of the better bits in sports.

i've been posting here for years about how it's especially important for big men to stagger their stance when shooting FTs. somebody finally got the message to DAJ:

the horns need to consult with whoever turned DeAndre to the stance change suggestion.

[NowThis 931]

one time i was practicing FTs at a gym somewhere and a random older guy walked by and said it's better to have one foot back (stagger).  So since then i have done it and makes a difference, body seems to be more at a balanced equilibrium and the flow of the release is smoother and more pointedly on target. 

undefeated Bucks @celts tonight 7pm central on TNT .. .huge game 

[Goo Punch 4,275]

when you stagger your stance you line up your arm/body/side with the rim, similar to a beer pong shot. i mean there's a reason that most people don't play beer pong standing square towards the other side of the table; you want to be able to line up your shooting arm/hand with the target, and staggering your stance does that. stagger your stance; find a quick routine that gets you comfortable at the line; look at the front of the rim; put some arc on your shot. boom. now you're shooting a higher percentage from FT's.

That is beyond badass. I eagerly await the George Strait/Spurs jersey.

I never said I was a Derozan fan at all or would choose to watch the Spurs/Suns this season. I just said I understand it and actually give props to the NBA for showing games other than the usual suspects which they do so many times. Don't worry, you can watch the Warriors 60 other times this season.

LAC's jerseys are awful. What was wrong with the script "Clippers"?

I had the League Pass for just the Warriors starting in 2013. But yeah, by 2016, it was like, "what's the point?" I do like the local broadcast crew way more than any ESPN or TNT talking heads, though (they're not as homerific as most local crews...or ESPN, for that matter). Oh well.

[Catdaddyhorn 3,467]

Isn't league pass free for the first few weeks of the year?  I was so excited for this season I decided to purchase league pass for the 1st time ever. Only after I pulled the trigger I noticed it was actually free. Free99 for a couple of weeks probably would've quenched my thirst.  

[texasstrong12 4,668]

So it's Luke's fault that Magic put this shit roster together? 

 

[conVINCEd 21,477]

Magic’s gonna coach.

[Patrick Bateman 3,980]

Meh.  Walton hasn't really shown much with the Lakers.  Not saying he's a bad coach, but he hasn't shown he's a good one.  At the end of the day, this will be Lebron's decision.  If he wants Walton there, he'll be there.

[immortal13 4,059]

Maybe Bron wants to bring in Lue

[Vic Mackey 47,959]

I would say bring in a coach worth a damn but that doesn't fit what Lebron wants. He is the coach/GM wherever he goes, for better or worse. I am guessing it will be some low rate coach who won't command his respect.

Im going with Byron Scott or Mo Cheeks

Ah, Byron Scott, tank commander.

Magic gave him Lance Stephenson, Michael Beasley, and Rajon Rondo to work with.  What more do you want?

[Machinator 32,103]

I haven't watched any Sacramento games yet this season, but this is interesting.

There is a better alternative for free. Do you need other issues?

[Vic Mackey 47,959]

But that's not really an issue with League Pass itself. Just like the Sunday Ticket. There's Reddit NFL streams for free but that doesn't mean Sunday Ticket has issues itself.

Okay baby birds. Jesus.

For one, league pass blacks out games all the time. So, if you don't have cable, you can't watch the game. 

Still, that doesn't even matter, because as I mentioned you can stream games for free in similar quality at a much better refresh rate.

Better? Not really. I don’t mind streaming games but that means I have to pull up the stream on my iPad and airplay to my Apple TV. It’s way simpler and better PQ for me to just login to league pass. I get not wanting to pay for league pass but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good.

I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money.
