walton was more of the friend. not sure how that woulda worked out long term.

Spottie, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 18:01 (six years ago) link

idk from what ive read abt walton in both gs and the lakers it seems like hes got the stuff players talk abt him like hes their therapist who theyre also madly in love with

i know everyone clamored for more kd/steph pnr last year but at least during the reg season i recall it not being as effective as ppl assumed, one of the main reasons being that kd is a bad screener.

running a new player combo pnr occasionally as an afterthought then being all hmm that doesnt work as well as one might think is the definition of a self fulfilling prophecy

lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 18:03 (six years ago) link

xp players def love him, idk if he can actually coach

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 18:04 (six years ago) link

he seems p smart abt the Xs n Os too i think hes good

lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 18:06 (six years ago) link

time will tell.

Spottie, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 18:14 (six years ago) link

hope the lakers stick him long terms instead of getting worried abt a young team losing, seems unlikely considering how dramatic they are tho

lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 18:16 (six years ago) link

i think he's the real deal

ciderpress, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 18:24 (six years ago) link

I gave wade about 12 games before he's coming off the bench

I subscribe to Basketball Intelligence and they send a daily email with links to all the hoops articles of the day. have found it very useful for catching things that might not have crept across my twitter feed or w/e. thought i would share w the ilh crew

the rest of the league is on the hunt for the next draymond and the warriors just up and bought one in the 2nd round of the draft

man embiid is such a joy to watch

micah, Thursday, 12 October 2017 00:41 (six years ago) link

teams need to stop helping on simmons drives and instead drop back and dare him to finish against single cover

meyers leonard is 4-4 from 3 in like 8 minutes of play, man please don't do this to me just be trash

Clay, Thursday, 12 October 2017 02:57 (six years ago) link

hell, Meyers Leonard is so young, big and strong he could still conceivably bloom into a starter somewhere when he hits 27 or 28. he's such a freaking wild card. I'm glad he didn't get a ruinous contract, though. this season he just needs to be able to defend a bit, make the right pass within the offensive scheme, and not suck at shooting mid-range.

malik monk looks like he was born knowing how to hit a fade away what an easy player wow

lag∞n, Thursday, 12 October 2017 03:20 (six years ago) link

Joel Embiid 22 points (14-18 FT), 7 boards, 3 assists & 1 block in 15 minutes.

jesus

lag∞n, Thursday, 12 October 2017 03:39 (six years ago) link

hes incredibly adept at drawing fouls. he can turn a bruising post up into a rip through before the defender knows whats hit them

micah, Thursday, 12 October 2017 05:42 (six years ago) link

anybody figure out reb0rn for H D Live yet?

Spottie, Thursday, 12 October 2017 17:42 (six years ago) link

i looked at it but havent done it yet seems like u cn buy a gift certificate for some chinese video game using paypal then pay for reborn w it, lol

lag∞n, Thursday, 12 October 2017 18:19 (six years ago) link

tbh i just go to r/nbastreams, it's a lil unreliable here and there but mostly it works

marcos, Thursday, 12 October 2017 18:20 (six years ago) link

the experiences arent really comparable, tho neither is the price

yeah last year was something like this but not quite as sketchy so i went in. just wondering if anyone else has been successful w this yet. guess i might have to be the guinea pig.

Spottie, Thursday, 12 October 2017 18:37 (six years ago) link

i just did it, waiting for reborn to process the order will report back, lol that site is def for laundering ecrime money

lag∞n, Thursday, 12 October 2017 18:39 (six years ago) link

lol lemme know

Spottie, Thursday, 12 October 2017 18:40 (six years ago) link

not hating on streaming but imo 200 bucks is a pretty fair price for league pass

k3vin k., Thursday, 12 October 2017 19:58 (six years ago) link

blackout games are straight up bullshit though

marcos, Thursday, 12 October 2017 20:00 (six years ago) link

yeah league pass has so many games blacked out and it doesnt have the playoffs, reborn has nbatv 24/7 now too

lag∞n, Thursday, 12 October 2017 20:07 (six years ago) link

reborn just takes their games from international league pass lol, if u dont live in america there is a good legal package available to u

lag∞n, Thursday, 12 October 2017 20:08 (six years ago) link

yeah the blackouts are bad, also i guess it would be more of an issue if i lived in the market of my primary team

k3vin k., Thursday, 12 October 2017 20:11 (six years ago) link

also i am super stoked for this season because roku finally added a TNT app so i can finally watch those games on the roku

k3vin k., Thursday, 12 October 2017 20:11 (six years ago) link

stoked 2 roke

lag∞n, Thursday, 12 October 2017 20:13 (six years ago) link

the blackout on the nbatv games is so fucking annoying

call all destroyer, Thursday, 12 October 2017 20:14 (six years ago) link

yeah it's inexcusable how as someone who has league pass i can't watch NBA TV games. there's not even a way to stream if you have a subscription

k3vin k., Thursday, 12 October 2017 20:17 (six years ago) link

yeah league pass has so many games blacked out and it doesnt have the playoffs, reborn has nbatv 24/7 now too

yeah id def be down for league pass were it not for these things.

Spottie, Thursday, 12 October 2017 20:19 (six years ago) link

this will be my first year without a directtv subscription and a DVR so im really gonna be relying on reb0rn

Spottie, Thursday, 12 October 2017 20:20 (six years ago) link

The hawks rookies look pretty spicy

maybe will be more interesting to ppl here than on the sports writing thread but this is kind of a big deal. iirc his tinder and dnp-rest stories were major click leaders among espn.com's nba coverage.

call all destroyer, Friday, 13 October 2017 02:56 (six years ago) link

yeah he's one of the biggest names for sure

k3vin k., Friday, 13 October 2017 02:57 (six years ago) link

The kings have a guy named J. Jackson and I’m gonna accidentally draft him so much

Matt Armstrong, Friday, 13 October 2017 03:04 (six years ago) link

The Kings are maybe my second favorite team now

Matt Armstrong, Friday, 13 October 2017 03:07 (six years ago) link

lol classic matt

k3vin k., Friday, 13 October 2017 03:16 (six years ago) link

yeah it's not particularly hard to become matt's second favorite team

call all destroyer, Friday, 13 October 2017 03:17 (six years ago) link

They’re stacked with talent guys!

Matt Armstrong, Friday, 13 October 2017 03:24 (six years ago) link

Teodosic is gonna seem super awesome for a month and he’ll finish the season shooting 36/22

Matt Armstrong, Friday, 13 October 2017 03:25 (six years ago) link

teodosic was basically constructed in a lab for nba twitter
