Revelry in the Dark

I'm very excited for basketball tonight, if only to see the Knicks with a real head coach and actual support behind Melo and Zingis

the matchups I'm excited to see early on this year are Warriors-Bucks and Warriors-Wolves. both teams have length and size over the Warriors, and will give them a run for their money for sure

Why doesn't NBA offer single team packages for League Pass anymore? I wanted to save a bit and just buy the Minnesota games.

There's a parallel universe where Seattle's larger media market allows the Supersonics to keep Harden, and Durant finds a cool Pacific NW tattoo artist to put a bunch of rappers faces on him and decides to stay

The Cavs were in the top half of most dribbles last year. The Warriors were dead last. Therefore, dribbling is good and ball movement is bad. Wrap it up sabermetricailures

Unlurking, there's so much to love about this season.

Point Giannis and the wierd Bucks, point Harden and wierd Rockets, the hilarious Bulls, the hilarious Knicks, the GSW death machine, more LeBron, Aaron Gordon possibly dunking even more, Stephens maybe taking the Celtics to the next level, Process Embiid, and just entertaining pass and move basketball from lots of teams.

If you think about it dribbling is also a kind of ball movement except up and down

You are right to want to watch MN primarily, but it seems like the extra $80 is worth it for getting the rest of the teams.

Minnesota is actually broadcasting all games this year! Which is notable because an actual NBA franchise was not broadcasting a handful of games up until now.

There is apparently extended Yolo bus schedules/hours on game nights. So far, tickets to "non-desirable" games (i.e. Pelicans on a tuesday night) are relatively cheap on the secondary market. Alternatively let me know when you want to go to a game and I might have a spare ticket

Harden probably has like half the dribbles by himself, but he
does pass it around.
