Brogdon looks good

I like this pacers team. Lamb and Warren are two of “my guys.”

warren is actually playing defence

I had an NBA player tell me today that Embiid boasts that he owns Towns. That he's afraid of him. I bet Embiid talked smack and hit him some and Towns has just had enough. Not placing blame either way, the scrum was a mess. But if I know Embiid says he owns Towns, KAT knows too.

so -- switched from the nets to the sixers. i *used* to live in philly.

where will you guys go for coverage in the post-deadspin era? the ringer?

the sixers are a much better choice than either of the nyc teams and i say this as someone who is required by law to hate philadelphia sports

we .... are... the coverage

philly is a fun and singularly weird team i endorse fandom of the sixers

this seems like a fun team. and i do remember my time in philly fondly. and i did grow up mostly in new jersey.

still feels wrong though. my family are very much new yorkers not philadelphians

lol i never really used deadspin for sports coverage. the ringer is ok, the athletic has acquired a lot of talented nba writers, but honestly espn still has the a-team.

sixers might be cursed, knicks def cursed, nets maybe

thinkin bout getting league pass, to actually watch hoops this season -- cool or nah

do it

we .... are... the coverage

YES HENNY

league pass is mostly decent but educate yourself on the blackout restrictions that are going to impact you--particularly west of the mississippi league pass is notorious for some very illogical blackouts.

athletic is paywalled but we have a thread for c/p requested articles from it

kevin love has been putting up some insane vintage kevin love numbers so far but he'll prob be hurt by december so whatevs

you can use a vpn to sign up for international league pass and bypass blackouts. apparently honduras is the cheapest option

man i may actually do that next year if i can get nbatv games

russ is 1 for 7 from the floor against... the wizards

the nets defence will continue to suck while they persist in starting harris, taurean prince, deandre and kyrie

the wizards are shooting 65% from the floor which seems notable

hmmm -- well i don't have cable and i live in new mexico which doesn't have an nba team for at least 400mi, so i'd assume that only the nationally televised ones wouldn't ever be available?

Bucks straight up getting run off the court in the 2nd half

brian windhorst, one of the 5 most important nba journalists working today, has regularly documented his issues having games in denver blacked out on league pass from his home in omaha, a city without an nba team that is over 500 miles from denver.

yeah new mexico is probably in someone's blackout area, maybe denver, maybe dallas, maybe phoenix, maybe all 3

exactly--i'm just saying try to figure out what you're in for before you drop the cash

i love this spread lineup of sabonis + four shooters

Aw rats

Maybe NBA TV would be better

i think if ur gonna be at home watching on ur laptop primarily it makes the most sense to just stream illegally

no blackouts and the user experience isn't vastly worse than what people say about league pass

...go on xp

kemba now completely roasting the bucks. the celtics have really been scrambling for the whole second half, fantastic effort up and down the rotation.

best internet only league pass experience is youtube tv + league pass, really solid platform dvr all the national games, and if youre cheap u can get 5 friends to split it w u via family plan

Marcus smart with the giannis takedown haha

marcus is so good

yeah game is pretty nuts celtics just didnt show up in the 1st half bucks ripping them up as usual then in the second half they just decided to play gritty n good and have destroy the bucks

giannis madd lol

Yeesh Russ looks like absolute trash. 1st time I've seen him this season.

yeah wow what the heck happened

i guess the brad era celtics have almost always played their ass off in the second half but i'm still never used to it

i was listening to a pod earlier today which noted that kemba is a terrible matchup for the bucks conservative defense and yeah they really didn't do a lot to bother him in the second half

this game had IT era vibes but with better players :]

Celtics very watchable this season I’m into it.

down by 19 won by 11

they also did that with only 10 guard minutes off the bench. semi, grant will, and rob will were almost the entire bench.

yeah no jaylen who shd be pretty key to that matchup
