By DiPro Go To Postteam usa can schedule a practice next week for the olympics.
ant will join them later.
Is it fair to be slightly worried about Team USA, half the roster looks kinda terrible right now.
By n8 dogg Go To PostWould any team winning a Covid ring be fraudulent? Or is it specifically the Lakers?
Dumbest argument in sports.
Any person who genuinely believes this clearly has a parasite in their brain, or is a Knicks fan.
Also, that bubble cost Lebron an MVP.

i pushed it to october
Best month!!!!!!!
Pretty hard to construct a winning roster and then have a successful coaching stategy when 2 of your guys take up 96 or so million of your cap space. Particularly since neither of them can hang for more than 30 or so minutes in a high leverage situation. Just saying.
By unknown Go To Postham is not bad, people looking for scapegoats.
Getting potentially swept in back to back years to the same team means you are doing absolutely nothing.
Each game plays out exactly the same way. Lakers have a lead for most, if not the entire first half. Halfway through the third, Denver starts playing for real and run away with the game while Hamas just stands on the sidelines
How do you lose potentially 12 straight games (including regular season) the exact same way? We blew them out starting Jericho Sims. You telling me you can’t fluke your way to 1 win?
fire pelinka too, mfer stood pat at the trade deadline knowing full well we need bigs to help AD down low.

This is true enough. Roster is bad. Their only two championship quality players are 40 and injury prone - and expensive as fuck.
By n8 dogg Go To PostThis is true enough. Roster is bad. Their only two championship quality players are 40 and injury prone - and expensive as fuck.AD is 31... I don't really think it's impossible to have a roster where LeBron and AD are your best players win a championship (I mean we know that, but this year). Getting rid of Caruso really hurt for example, he's still cheap and would have helped them a lot. Yeah he's another 30 minute player but at least you could stagger them.
Biid was doing too much last night. Needs to control himself and not Draymond it up..too important for that nonsense and too injury prone for any retaliation.
might be the pain killers we are probably shooting into his veins lol

Not a good look for the Knicks, somebody should have at least gotten a flagrant on him after that.

Problem is you need a guy that can carry the scoring load when those guys get gassed, plus AD really needs someone to set him up regardless. If you replace D'Lo with a guy that can actually do that the rest of your team winds up being vet min guys. They tried that a couple years ago.

To be honest, I think every game is tougher and tougher,” Nikola Jokic said. “You can see, they were up 20 in Denver, in Game 2. They were up 12 today in the first half. But yeah, I think it’s really hard to play against the same team over and over again. You kind of get bored with the style of the play or whatever. So you just need to — especially for us, because we won the last three — just trust what we are doing and don’t get bored with success. Because it can (go) wrong really quick.”
This is killing me

The advancement in the Amazon and ESPN talks leaves incumbent Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns network TNT Sports, to face off with NBC, owned by Comcast, for the likely last package of games. Warner Bros. Discovery has the right to match deals, but NBC could try to structure an agreement in a way that makes it difficult.Bye TNT, hello roundball rock? Is Amazon worth the price of admission?
While there is still work to be completed for the final arrangements, the current packages are going to be pruned slightly to create the third partner. In one arrangement, ESPN will cut down from around 100 games to around 80, according to executives briefed on the talks.wait

Full Article.
In what will be a landmark move in sports media history, the NBA and Amazon Prime Video have the framework of a deal that will make the streaming service one of the main homes for the league’s games, executives with direct knowledge of the talks told The Athletic.
It is expected that Prime Video’s package will include significant regular season and postseason games, perhaps even some conference finals. The anticipation is that the final contract will be for at least a decade and begin the 2025-2026 season.
ESPN/ABC, as the website Puck reported Thursday, also has a framework of a deal with the expectations that an agreement will be completed. ESPN/ABC are expected to keep the Finals on its networks for the duration of its deals. Like Amazon, ESPN’s new contract is also expected to be at least a decade in length.
All of the details are not finalized yet, but all sides are under the expectations they will get done. The NBA, Amazon and ESPN all declined to comment.
The NBA prefers to have three companies involved in its new deals, but has not ruled out adding a fourth.
The NBA is finishing up nine-year deals that pay it $2.6 billion on average from ESPN and TNT Sports. Those contracts end after the 2024-2025 season.
The advancement in the Amazon and ESPN talks leaves incumbent Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns network TNT Sports, to face off with NBC, owned by Comcast, for the likely last package of games. Warner Bros. Discovery has the right to match deals, but NBC could try to structure an agreement in a way that makes it difficult.
While there is still work to be completed for the final arrangements, the current packages are going to be pruned slightly to create the third partner. In one arrangement, ESPN will cut down from around 100 games to around 80, according to executives briefed on the talks.
A natural landing spot for Amazon’s regular-season games could be Thursday night, where it already has the NFL from September to early January. The NBA, in recent years, has moved its games off Thursday during the time period to not go head-to-head with the NFL. It is expected to then have significant playoff inventory. Amazon has shown interest in global rights, which has been a key part of the NBA’s negotiating strategy as it lined all of its domestic and international deals to end following the 2024-2025 season.
The NBA has made it clear that it wanted to define itself for the next frontier of viewing with streaming at the forefront.
With ESPN, Amazon and the NBA all under the impression that they will complete deals, this puts the onus on TNT Sports, which has had the NBA since 1984. It is in a fight with NBC, which was the lead partner of the NBA before losing its rights in 2002. NBC, with its streaming service, Peacock, wants back in and is competing with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports for a deal.

By Koko Go To PostIs the Bucks-Pacers game a rerun from the IST 👀Because ESPN is having a triple-header and because 3 of the 6 teams playing are in the same timezone because NBA's conference alignment sucks
Why is a Friday game starting at 5:30 EST time?
Hulu's problem, if you want to call it a problem is being limited to 1080p for streams. By episode 3 of Shogun I discovered that I can access a limited selection of Hulu programming in the Disney+ app. In that app Shogun is in 4K/Dolby Vision/HDR10. Now Shogun isn't exactly a show made with the intention of taking full advantage of that resolution, but it's there in the Disney+ app. There is immediate identification that you're watching something better than the Hulu version when the opening credits roll. It's brighter, a crisper image, and the grain of sand aren't a muddy mess.
Live TV isn't in the Disney+ app yet. Maybe that will happen if they proceed with retiring the standalone Hulu app.
I've only watched Dateline and MLB on Peacock. Another 1080p experience. Dateline has no ads :). The MLB broadcast is fine.

By DY_nasty Go To Postleague pass wishes it touched 720p on a regular basisYup
Watched a few of the playoff games on ESPN+ and that has worse streaming quality than League Pass by far. I can even tell when the illegal stream is off that feed instead of through a cable LP feed.

Just realized that if the Bucks lose this series, Doc will finish this season with an under .500 record.
