When you have a good radio team, it is almost as fun as watching. Especially if you aren't the type to watch a lot of off-ball stuff but the casters are.

Guess who is back

I kind of think the Kings had one of the best drafts out of any team. A big part of that is Justin Jackson's summer league so the regular season may change my opinion. The risk/reward for Giles is also worth it since they had 3 first round picks.

This made me realize I wish movie theaters (that sell booze like the Alamo Draft House) showed games. The atmosphere could be way cooler than watching games at a sports bar.

If I could fund a failing version of that business as no big deal, I totally would start one up. As is, I'm several tens of millions of dollars short.

the problem with something like "a movie theater for sports" is that everyone's sports preferences are so varied.

like, i'm a spurs fan in denver. they would never cater to my interests except maybe big national games between top teams

its a cool idea though. i recommend just getting rich as all heck and doing it for yourself

I absolutely would do it just for myself. Lol

Do every nationally broadcast game, big PPV events, all local games, and even wresting. Priority is making sure the theater is full so probably only two rooms at most.

I will never have the money to do it, but it's fun to think about. I will have to settle for just trying to find someone to use my second Pels ticket every game.

PG is a fantastic passer and it was a liability on the Pacers because Paul George should not of been passing to any players on the Pacers.

He's going to have a huge season. It's going to be fun.

Jamelle McMillan was real happy about it cuz he was the one that drew up the play.

The Celtics were a ton of fun to watch last year, and letting Stevens incorporate Hayward and Irving into his system will make them even better in 2017-18, unless it all goes terribly wrong somehow

John Wall and Brad Beal are also super cool (as is Giannis, if you go with Milwaukee) but I feel like you'll just end up cursing the lack of talent around them

In order for it to be a controversy you need people who get riled up. I kinda imagine it blowing over in a few days as everyone up and down the chain of NBA command agrees that it's fine and the fans broadly support it and it doesn't really generate much interest when you "protest" in support of something everyone agrees with
