Vanilla Mint Ice: Jul 17, 2007; A raccoon is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.

I'm surprised he is moving to the east coast, it would make it harder for him to play league of legends with his west coast friends

I'm about to go into cancer surgery, here's to hoping the knicks would improve today too. Humor me in what non dolan ways the knicks could get better this offseason

Thanks for the well wishes fellas the doc said the surgery went well. I gotta not stress or exert myself for awhile which I think is the medical term for watching the knicks with an open heart. But yeah I'm not cloaking before dolan does gently caress that

1) What are my best bets for watching if I don't have TV service? I got a decent-sized TV that's hooked up to an XBox, so are there any good options for streaming sites or apps that I can use? Happy to pay for a subscription if necessary

I recommend Sling Orange + Sports Extra which will get you espn espn2 tnt and nbatv for a cool 25 bucks a month. Try that out when the season starts and mix it with reddit nbastreams to check out teams to see which one you really like and then you can pay nba league pass to get the local games

2) Who should I be a fan of? I'm really hesitant to go back to the Bulls because I don't want to compare everything the current team does to my idealized memories of MJ and his superhero friends, so I'm kinda just looking for a team that's decent enough that watching them won't be constant heartbreak, and fun enough to watch that I can really develop that love. Things that I, a basketball dummy, think are cool as hell include big men plowing through defenders and big men doing authoritative blocks, so please direct me towards any teams that do a whole bunch of that poo poo, or just please tell me a sentence or two about why your own team is the coolest and I'll 100% be convinced

Depends on your timezone I guess but the east is a graveyard right now. There's the bucks if you want to watch the growth of a rising superstar in giannis. and that's about it. The west has alot better entertaining teams to get into right now: There's the rockets with james harden and d antoni who just added chris paul. There's the unfortunate pelicans who is going try to figure out how to mesh anthony davis and demarcus cousins together. The thunder is on a one year watch to see if the league mvp russell westbrook and one year rental paul george will enjoy their time together enough this year to stay on the team or both move to the lakers. And finally there's the nba champion golden state warriors if you want to bandwagon the heavy title favorites

3) Are there any good resources for understanding terminology and strategy? Like, I remember enough about the basic rules, and I know broadly what each of the positions are supposed to do, but I definitely don't have enough knowledge of the game to appreciate what's going on beyond "gently caress, that big man plowed through that defender"

This isn't really at all a book about learning the game but it's probably the best book written about the nba so you could check it out if you want to really get yourself immerse into the nba

Huh. I would've guessed that they would've prolong halftime to make up for the lost commercial airtime. I guess they figure tv ads are a relic of the past and jersey placements are the future

The simple answer is just to let them play for their original side since they were voted in to be the east allstar not west allstar etc.

But honestly they should just abolish the east vs west allstar game since it's now the worst part of the weekend. Let's get in some new contests in like allstars dancing. Allstars synchronized swimming. Allstars curling. Allstars iron chef. Allstars banana boat.

According to the article kyrie thought about requesting a trade right after they got the ring. This just seems like a case of alright I got my ring now I want to be the number one guy again no matter what

He wants to be The Man and he thinks he'll get that spotlight in san antoni of all places?

He's gonna join paul george in the lakers next year

Just a minor side effect of most of the league tanking into the ocean

All LeBron has to do in response to that Curry thing is remind him of this:

And then curry will just pull down his pants, squat on cav's court again and pull apart his buttcheeks and people on the internet will go wait a second is he wearing two rings?

Is anyone here even watching the big 3 anymore. Have they released anything about how their viewership is going?

If they were truly thinking outside of the box then they would get rid of local broadcast blackouts and make their streaming services much better. How the WWE did their WWE Network is thinking outside of the box. Putting ads on a jersey isn't anything new, it's actually what happens when you stop thinking.

Like others here and elsewhere have said, they're not thinking about making more money through making the product and customer experience better, they just want to lazily make more money.

Sooo, 2kgames is doing his marketing for him, and also likely giving him a fat paycheck for using his likeness in their games.

Why?

I like KD more now for secretly going out of his way to argue with random idiots
