THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[pums]

Is easier to bet on preaseason games? **** i would have no idea who would be playing

 

[QU!K]

I’m out of the loop

who called who cowards

 

[everysingletime]

But Zanos is going to do this in the big leagues on a regular basis

Bruh is stupid quick when he wants to move. He's probably the quickest 4 in the league.

 

[getback]

I’m out of the loop

who called who cowards

The media, the GOP, keyboard twitter warriors, etc

 

[elpablo21]

I’m out of the loop

who called who cowards

The Right Wing Shut up and Dribble camp

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Brothas got more than enough to deal with over here. Ain't really thinking about what goes on in another country.

who called who cowards

Trump went at Kerr and Pop, and politicians on both sides were giving the NBA some grief for not being as outspoken as they think they should.

 

[pums]

Its more than dunks and layups for Zion. He actually has a great feel for the game on both ends. He makes the right reads on passes and cuts

 

[QU!K]

Will the Giannis Wall defence work on Zion?

 

[ill steelo]

Zion fun to watch but I can't really react to a 29 point game full of dunks and layups. Still think he need to get in better shape too. By February son gon be sluggish as hell.

Zion is definitely a 1 of 1 but the fatigue point is something to keep an eye on. Blake spoke on playing like that a few years ago:

My first few years in the league, I was relying on my athleticism to get me by, because that’s what got me to the NBA. The problem with that is, you end up getting really, really tired by February. My rookie year I tried to get out of bed on a road trip near the end of the season and I was like, Am I physically able to walk right now? I went out on the floor that night and ran up and down just trying to look like a real NBA human.

Crazy the Toll a season takes on your body

The previous commissioner’s old NBCA speeches did not welcome such participation, especially the one given in Chicago, shortly after the NBA had signed its 2007 national TV contract. According to multiple coaches who were there, Stern communicated the importance of the TV side having access to locker rooms. Then-Chicago Bulls coach Scott Skiles raised his hand and told Stern, after a preamble of “no disrespect,” that the locker room was his “sacred space.”
Based on multiple coaches’ retellings of this legendary league story, Stern dispatched the response with withering sarcasm.
“Well, let’s see,” the smiling commissioner began. “On the one hand, we have eight billion dollars from our broadcast partners. And on the other hand, we have … Scott Skiles!” Stern then lit into him, telling Skiles in so many words and curses to shut up and that he didn’t want to hear any more out him. Skiles went quiet, as did the room.
“He was neutered,” one coach relayed of Skiles. “Scott thought he was brave. And after Stern was done with him, he wasn’t brave no more.” All the coaches in the room got the message. Commissioner Stern wasn’t asking. He was telling. And woe be unto whichever clipboard clinger flouted the dictate.

I love how they want the NBA to be more outspoken, yet they are outspoken about issues here in America that the politicians CAN change and they ignore them. Issues here must not affect enough zeros.

 

[moonman818]

It's all just a distraction

 

[titang545]

It's all just a distraction

Not even paying attention to it, until it was mentioned here I didn't even know what that clown in the office said most recently.

 

[wavycrocket]

Exactly. I peeped from Day 1.

I can’t catch everything live either. YoutubeTV has the most robust dvr feature but with the league pass add-on it’s $90/month all in.

You can get every channel in the country in flawless HD through an IPTV provider for just $10 or so a month but the dvr piece is tricky. I’ve been beating my head against the wall trying to reliably get it but I can’t. If I try to watch something while it’s recording it screws up at some point when I rewind/fast forward, or it’ll miss the recording entirely. Tried just about provider & tool there is.

Yo, I’m bout to move into a new spot and cutting the cord. In your opinion...what’s the most reasonable/convenient package out there?

Trying to pay under $60 a month for internet/cable package consisting of NBA TV/ESPN/TNT/ABC already got most of the steaming Accts etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

Youtube TV is like $40/month and you can have up to 6 users I believe. Just chop that up with some homies and it would be like $10 month for NBA TV, ESPN, TNT, and ABC

 

[osh kosh bosh]

what about when Lebron and other players wore I can’t breathe tshirts?

"Why are we pretending that fans holding up signs with political messages was something the NBA was ever cool with? "

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Will the Giannis Wall defence work on Zion?

I'd say no because he's more of an off ball player

 

[lawdog1]

That Stern story doesn’t surprise me at all. Always struck me as the kind of dude who could make someone feel like an idiot if he wanted to - and smile while doing it.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I don't know how yall don't see this as an obvious attempt to de-legitimize black political dissent.

You got cats who were on the "shut up on dribble" tip a week ago, suddenly ready to start the revolution, demanding that black atheltes be on the front lines.


**** is obvious, do not be fooled.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

you got Clay Travis Mr "It's cool and good that Kapernick was fired for his political beliefs"...

Mr "yo NFL gotta cater to their most racist fans, it's just business"


Suddenly acting like he's ****ing Huey P. Newton.

YouTube tv is $50 a month has espn fox sports tnt etc and includes nbatv and unlimited dvr

Hulu tv is $45 same sports offerings but doesn’t have nbatv but does have the Hulu library and dvr I think does have a limit

I’m ok with no league pass because I can just go to my other sources for games but having the dvr for all maverick telecasts is crucial for me

I know it's the NBA thread, but what about RedZone? Went to get Youtube TV and found out you can't even get it through there. Or Amazon Prime, even though it's RedZone by "Prime"
