I wish I could watch more games. Work sucks. And it's annoying to watch in market stuff w/o cable. Everything's blacked out and wildly expensive to stream anyway ,I need to figure out some advanced strats

I can't even use legal streams because I'm out-of-market for my favored sports teams

I used to use Youtube TV but the first time we came to New Jersey to house-hunt I tried watching a Celtics game from the hotel and it was like "hey, just checking, you're, like, just VISITING New Jersey, right?", just making sure it didn't have to switch sports feeds on me

that's an impossible to test hypothetical. you are isolating yourself from ever being wrong. be brave. here, i'll start, Feel Free To Laugh if i'm wildly off base: the Nuggets will make the NBA finals and lose, and the Sixers will make the ECF and lose.

Neither of those teams is making it that far in the playoffs, IMO

same. pirate streams are super unreliable cause we get such bad internet at my facility and the cell coverage is also awful so if there's any hiccups I'm getting like 72p :(

power forward is a stretch. I don’t think he can or does play that position

which is antiquated anyway

I'm in the same boat with the Nuggets and lol I'm not subscribing to a loving bespoke cable service that requires a box just to watch local teams, eat poo poo Altitude and Kroenkes

Correct, he's too slow and unathletic for PF.

Which is why he plays center.

Houston played him with centers (most of the time ) . that is the big difference

I’ve always said if Denver ever got a center they would have a chance to be eastern conference good

like James harden who refused to let his team ever have a center would be extremely less valuable

I’ve said it before but to be a center (play center in the nba) you need to defend the rim in multiple ways (not just weak side block on help) , play the 1-5 pnr adequately, and defend other centers ,when they post up . you need to do at least two of those things to be a center and you need to do all of them to be any good

luxury is also being able to switch on to guards and guard them. but that’s just bonus and allows your team to run a real good d

feel like euphronius thinking is beginning to penetrate my psyche like the marker in dead space. jokic isn't a center, because he will be all positions, after the convergence.
