love yous guys

rubio may be out up to two months

that ankle turn was ugly as hell, surprised it wasn't a fracture of some kind

wow celtics were up by 17 w 4 minutes left and the bulls cut it to 2 w under a minute w aaron brooks scoring a million points before the celtics pulled it out

End of that game was freaking hilarious brooks was a fireball Olynyk hustlin Lots of lols

You know who kinda vanished late though...assertive jeff green

Seriously what is it about that backup Bulls point guard spot, it magically makes marginal guys really good and occasionally unstoppable

It also usually makes them starters sad lols

you all are fundamentally misunderstand him, jeff green is disappointing not bad

This is an important jeff green insight

yeah thibs really understands how to get the most out of quick shoot first point guards, got derrick rose an mvp even

i never totally got why aaron brooks wasn't the player from last night more often over the years.

feel like the degree of difficulty in his game is too high to be consistent

He's small and he's mad so defenses figure him out usually and coaches get sick of him I think

I like his game though he always thinks he's the best guy on the floor

also one time he wore this excellent outfit

if bron has a down year and kd misses too much time to be considered the mvp race is between? davis and curry

feel like hardens rep is too damaged by that one youtube

no one predicted the pelicans to be a playoff team so if they sneak into the spot vacated by the thunder is that enough to give davis the appropriate winning credentials

if theyre the 8th seed

if they miss the playoffs is it possible

why do they wait to turn on hollingers power rankings i have no way to tell who is good

Gotta make playoffs

yeah one wld think, what if he has like the most insane season ever tho

tho prob if he does they will make the playoffs

okc have the 3rd worst point differential in the league rn theyre gonna need to win some games while kd and westie are out if they want to make the postseason

already lost two close games too that hurts

they have a few games coming up against weak east teams they absolutely must win

three games in four nights on the road tho is tuff

AD reminds me of young Kareem. The comparison's not as obvious as it could be, because Kareem enjoyed a much bigger gap between himself and the average nba player, but that's just because the average level of nba talent level has increased hugely since the early 70s. I think Davis has a truly great career ahead of him. An MVP season this year wouldn't surprise me a bit.

the only reason it wld surprise me is that award usually lags at least a year behind reality demanding guys build their reps first, tho not always see derrick rose, that and the unlikeness of a team w nolas bench making the playoffs in the west

wld not surprise me too much if davis was the best player in the nba this year, tho hes way young to have mastered the more subtle aspects of the game idk

also hasnt had too much time to fill the holes in his game

maybe hes so good it doesnt matter

I should also point out that Kareem entered the NBA after his senior year at UCLA. AD entered after his freshman year.

kareem was a more measured controlled player than davis imo, also taller

Warriors v Suns tonight and nbatv is showing the 76ers instead smh

brutal

people saying davis is a 4 but nah in todays nba i think hes a five

obvs dependent on personnel but davis/anderson ultimately prob makes more sense than asik/davis

other players people think are fours who are are naturally fives: duncan, pau

fuck NBATV imo. exists solely to screw people who pay 240 bucks for league pass out of being able to watch games if they don't happen to be home for them

league pass/nbatv not even available from my cable provider pray4me

Haven't been able to convince my wife to let me get league pass yet ever. Understand the annoyances with the blackouts. Which honestly is a major reason I haven't pushed the issue. There should be no blackouts that's the lamest thing why do these providers insist on screwing the consumer idgi

thinking abt trying a ballstreams chromecast pairing they have an app

or maybe chromecast has a browser u cld just watch it through idk i dont have one but its only $35

I'll look into that thx bbz

not totally sure it will work here is some info i dont really understand like maybe u have to stream it from an andriod device to yr chromecast or some bs http://www5.ballstreams.com/support/categories/13/api+discussion/5991/APP++Ball+Cast++AndroidChromecast

why is life so hard

u can def stream from device using airplay or chromecast depending on yr set up but itd be cool if one of these devices had an app

might sign up for a month of ballstreams and just see whats up

I GET it when it's TNT and ABC/ESPN (tho the NBA should push harder to lift these blackouts as well, given the leverage they obviously have as evidenced by the massive new TV deal), but what i don't get is why i can't watch an NBATV game on my computer or phone. it's the league's own network, and i am trying to watch it on their own website. there is no conflict there

yeah thats some serious bullshit, tho might have something to do with cable carriage fees

like theres a third party in there which is the cable companies

League Pass tv streaming works about as well as hulu so it isn't worth it unless you watch on your phone often.
