The secret strategy for the 2018 draft will be to take whoever New Orleans are super high on, to get the inside track on trading for Davis in 2019.

I kinda think folks getting annoyed at "cultural appropriation" are trying to elevate "being tacky" into a moral outrage. It's practically Victorian with the petty sanctimony. It oughta inspire an open roast, not demand a public apology. Thanks to widespread understanding of Cultural Appropriation hot girls are now far less likely to choose the Sexy Pocahontas costume for Halloween. Great. We did it. But still, Lin is a god damned Choir Boy and it's disgusting I want to bully him so bad. I get where Martin is coming from

It carries TNT, all the ESPNs, ABC/NBC/CBS, and the regional FOX station most of their games are aired on. I know some people who live out-of-market for their favorite teams are picking up an NBA League Pass sub. Others are using a site I can't remember the name of but requires you to buy BitCoin via PayPal to access and everyone else is using https://www.reddit.com/r/nbastreams/ and praying for the best.

Dunn legitimately was the most "NBA ready" out of college in a draft where no one was very NBA ready so it just turned out that being the most NBA ready didn't mean much.

This looks like people who haven't picked up a basketball in years. Spacebump posted:Picking East teams to make the playoffs that weren't Cavs/Celtics/Raptors/Wizards/Bucks was hard. Time posted:I'm going to be the first poster ever to get all eastern conference playoff teams right. Don't quote this next year Yes, over the last four years SA is 0for351 in getting the eight teams correct. There are 6,930 different possible combinations of eight playoff teams in a fifteen team conference. The formula for this: n! / r!(n-r)! n = number of teams r = playoff spots (15*14*14*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) / ((8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) * (7*6*5*4*3*2*1)) = 6,930 So there's a long way to go to randomly pick the correct eight. Or picking all sixteen teams would be 1 in 48,024,900. Of course the bigger challenge would be guessing the correct eight teams and their correct seeding. The likelihood of randomly guessing the eight teams and their rankings is 1 in 259,459,200. (15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8) Or all sixteen teams and their seeding: 1 in 67.3 quadrillion. Brolander posted:i hope i got every thing right To score a 30/30 would be extremely difficult. Excluding these two questions: Name the rookie WS and/or PER leader: Name the overall WS and/or PER leader: (as they're impossible to attach perfect right/wrong probabilities to at this point). To randomly reach 28 points by being accurate on all other questions is a 1 in 756.2 quintillion prospect. Spacebump posted:One of my favorite things about these threads. Dirk is 39 and might cross the regular season 50,000 MP mark this year so I'd go with Carmelo.

Tonight was Shanghai Sharks v. Rockets. I was gonna make a joke about Jimmer being a chucker, but he scored 37 ppg on 47/39 shooting last year in the CBA so he probably didn't play because he's too important to risk against chumps like Harden and Paul  e: Actually he has some unspecified knee injury with an estimated 3-4 weeks out chunkles fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Oct 6, 2017 |

I'm going to push my own referral, but the streaming site is reborn4HDLive https://reborn4hdlive.org/en/register/?ref=6da2c407 Paying is a PIA though. You have to buy Chinese phone cards with paypal and redeem them back on the streaming site, or just use bitcoin. It sorta sucks either way, unless you have a bunch of bitcoin from GPU mining or something. The service is nice, it's NBA League Pass with the in-stadium feeds but a better UI for it. It works with Chromecast too which is really nice.
