if the sixers could get kd somehow then they have a shot, though their bench will be absolutely abysmal

other than that they're just not going anywhere which is why i don't really care about this season

go birds

i think they should trade away embiid and try to pick up kd and kyrie

one of our neighbors just gave me access to his league pass account and I was psyched to try it out so I didn't have to rely on sportsurge again only to find out that lol espn games don't go to league pass

god streaming sports legally sucks

I might have just witnessed one of the biggest bag fumbles of all time. Rockets up 1 against the Kings but Monk steals it with 1.7 seconds left. Then Eric Gordon fouled Fox on a three that he had NO CHANCE OF MAKING with .3 seconds left.

Not proud of this win but LIGHT THE BEAM

yeah its pretty good. the $2/month thing only lets you watch 8 games a month but those 8 games can be split between the nba, the bundesliga, and the china super league. some of the games you can watch for free w/ ads if you dont want to pay and you can purchase individual games for like $1. they have a bunch of other packages up to a $50/year package that gives you unlimited viewings for the nba, bundesliga, china super league, the nfl, and the us open for 12 months

As of today the East is 168-160 against the West. Notably, the top 6 teams are 87-47 against the West, which means that the rest are a pathetic 81-113.

I think with Kyrie going West and improvements to the Lakers/Timberwolves, plus Booker/CP3 and Ingram coming back now, the West will probably take the crown this year. But we'll see because the East is so insanely top heavy this year (although the Nets are going to keep dropping with KD hurt and Kyrie gone)

The top 6 Western teams are only 72-59 against the East. Grizzlies are an insane outlier at 18-5 against the East (only 15-16 against the West)

Yossarian-22
Oct 26, 2014

Overall, 19 teams are better against the East this year and only 11 are better against the West, the most weird outlier being the Grizzlies who are 18-5 against the East and 15-16 against the West

I would argue that the East is pretty mediocre-bad once you get below 6th whereas the West has teams below 8 that are better than the 7th best Eastern team but yeah, the top 6 are very very good. I guess we'll see how the Nets hold up with Cam Thomas being Durant's main complementary scorer

West will have a better record head to head by the end of the year. Book it

lmao, I guess Josh Hart was traded to the Knicks in the middle of warming up

Well I guess that's a slight boost for the East over the West this year

KD was probably demanding a trade and maybe the Nets are getting a decent haul... Ayton and Cam Johnson maybe???
