It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

having dvr makes it way better than streams imho

I've paid for League Pass the last two seasons. The main reason I paid for it, as opposed to just finding a stream, was for the replay of games the morning after. Now I don't have enough time to watch replays to make it worth it (okay I actually cancelled my subscription in a rage when Boogie joined the Dubs, but the above reasoning is why I haven't resubscribed).

No blackouts because I'm in Europe so can't help you there (run a VPN?).

Also, I can't believe they haven't added a proper archive yet. Say they added all the playoff games from 1988 onwards - hot damn I might pay 1.5 times the current price for access to that.

i'm basically ok with league pass but the nbatv games are also blacked out, which is complete b.s. i can't get nbatv via cable in my town even if i wanted to.

i\m in montreal so i'm not worried about local blackouts, guess i gotta look up how many of their games will be on national tv -- is that determined start of season? or like week ot week or something?

lol im so spoiled by mlb.tv in canada (i think... nothing is nblacked out?) that this is just shocking to me. i don't have cable so this is how i do sports

http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/nba-tv-schedule/

there are 39 national sixers games per another site i found

national tv schedule is released before the season but subject to change at their whim, which means they put the sweet games on there if they feel like it, not sure how many national games they show a week in canada but def some you want to watch will be blacked out especially since philly is a good team cursory googling suggests that all games on TSN and/or Sportsnet are blacked out in canada

the takes are coming in fairly hot

the national tv schedule also gets better after xmas. since teams have a cap on the number of times they can be on tv, the best teams get more national tv games as the season goes on. i think it's light at the beginning when football is still on basically.

the east sucks ass still sorry

if you put the warriors aside i think the raptors and bucks have been better than any team in the west. and i think i trust both the celtics and sixers more than the blazers and/or nuggets. and i think what happened to houston's roster is kinda scary. they're super thin... though i do think their 5 of cp3-harden-gordon-tucker-capela is as strong against the warriors as anybody. but if cp gets hurt again i dunno. they have like 7 nba players on their roster.

which is to say i agree with the take

i think all the west playoff teams will be better than whoever comes in 5th in the east

maybe not the 8 seed idk

one problem is tho when comparing the conferences you can't really put the warriors aside

Hearing rumblings of a serious leg injury for caris

if i was just gonna rank teams i think could beat the warriors at the end of the year i'd go

1. raptors
2. bucks
3. celtics
4. sixers
5. rockets
6. utah
7. pelicans

... okc? i really think the finals could be a war for the warriors but i don't think they'll be tested until then.

pelicans currently kicking the raptors' butts tho

embiid looks amazing tonight

i think all the west playoff teams will be better than whoever comes in 5th in the east

this *might* be true but ultimately wgaf about the relative strength of 5 seeds? the top of the west is looking hugely diluted at the moment.

Apparently a Paul George snap at the shin type of thing. Sucks, he was playing so well.

meanwhile fultz looks really bad. the only thing he can do on offense is dribble into the lane and then take a fadeaway

if his leg is rumbling thats a bad sign

fuck a leg snapping in half then rumbling i dont like that shit

also just seems generally out of it

....interesting day for the news to get floated that fultz and drew hanlen had a "falling out." these trainers are a f'n joke.

Fultz and the shot doctor snake oil salesman hanlan aren’t on speaking terms any more.

Hah yup

this came out basically during the game from some random-ass hoopshype writer. my cats could figure out the sourcing.

kevin pelton criticized the sixers for including both covington and saric in the butler trade and keeping fultz, but does any team actually want fultz enough to give anything up for him? he looks like the next anthony bennett.

people need to embrace that fultz is anthony bennet mk II and let him go

lol that was an xp

if fultz is the next anthony bennett that trade is automatically one of the worst of all time

i was speculating upthread that maybe the wolves wldve wanted him but who knows

someone on twitter said drew hanlen is good at pr cause everyone knows he trains jayson tatum but no one knows he works with myers leonard too lol

i was listening to dunc'd on earlier and nate was arguing vociferously for trading fultz now. that's going to be tougher after tonight.

pelton's take doesn't make a lot of sense b/c nothing about the wolves roster or trade positioning suggests that they wanted fultz.

aside from fultz being bad i think putting him w/ KAT and wiggins would be a spectacularly bad idea and maybe the wolves realized that

idk they did trade for anthony bennett

sixers shdve tried to put him in that trade was alls i was saying anyway and maybe they did idk

i agree they should dump him asap while he still has a shred of (theoretical) value. his path to developing under an all-in team led by *jimmy butler* is nonexistent to me.

mike muscala doing a pretty good dario saric impression tonight

the wolves are paying jeff teague and have, from their perspective, found money in derrick rose. glen taylor might be dead by the time fultz is playing positive basketball.

fultz is a year removed from being the #1 pick and honestly he looks terrible but it wldve been pretty reasonable to take him over one of the two role players they got back imo, philly being not ready to give up on him or just too embarrassed to move him seems more likely than the wolves not being interested, but idk maybe his name is just mud league wide after this whole yips/looking like hes on the pills scenario

there's a scene in bbc's "africa" where they catch two giraffes getting into a fight. the giraffes are incredibly strong and powerful but bcuz of their height everything is just kinda wobbly, and as they tussle it seems like they might fall over or break one of their legs at any time. this is what it's like to watch hassan whiteside guard joel embiid.

lmao

35/18 from embiid tonight and he just put the game away with a step back 3

embiid went 3-4 from three and 16-20 from the line at 7 ft tall

dude is insane.

sometimes he just starts drawing fouls at an insane rate

think he's leading the league in FTA

he's shooting 10 FT per game at 80% and that was before tonight. so basically just banking 8 points every game.
