lol he was on the celtics a week ago i swear

yeah he got traded

novak still on the raptors?

nope!

jesus how did bayless end up on milwaukee

who knows where salmons is i want to say atlanta for no reason

Were Bayless and dame ever on the blazers at the same time

I seem to remember a period where the blazers lacked a PG and everybody was like Give Bayless a chance

Then they got Dame dash

Salmons: Pelicans
Novak: Jazz

Were Bayless and dame ever on the blazers at the same time

I seem to remember a period where the blazers lacked a PG and everybody was like Give Bayless a chance

bayless left after the 09-10 season and dame's first season was 12-13 so they missed each other by couple few years, and bayless just seemed to get traded every 3 months after that.

just shelled out like 230 bucks for league pass, smh

Shit didn't it used to be 150

Is this the new and improved league pass that's part of the new TV deal??

it was 180 for the first few years i bought it, then went up to 190 last year. now it's 200, plus various taxes and fees

Still cheaper than cable for the most part

I will prob do league pass next year, plan on cutting the cord after the playoffs

Concerned about the blackouts on TNT and TBS and ESPN gamenights tbh

sitting in sports bars or a friend's house for several hours at a time during basically the entire april - June situation is something I worry about, dunno how I'll do it

I've drdank so many shitty beers at this neighborhood bar that's not crowded because of games ;(

going to a bar is nice if youre in the mood but often u just want to root down into yr couch and enjoy some nba action

*plop*

thats the sound when u hit the seamless order button folks

Ordered seamless last night for game 5 of the WS ;-\

👍

*plops*

i also do not like to drink during west coast game time, just too early in the dark for me, so idk hi i'm at a bar alone drinkin' a soda reading message board threads, sup everyone

*day

Y'all just get cable and live in the city of the team u root for the fucks wrong with yall

it is difficult to have cable and not have any discipline if you want to do creative stuff in yr free time

pardon me I'm new to full-on-complete NBA junkiedom since last year and league pass is 200+? that's pricier than MLB TV for fucks sake.

fuck, guess I'm watching the national games and a lotta shitty celtics action unless the NBA has an equivalent to At Bat

Man there's an ABC game like every seventh full moon of seventhe full moon

Sorry just reminiscing for the days of NBA on NBC when it was liek every other month

what was the story with the new streaming action that espn will be running once the new tv deal kicks in? did that go through? did i dream that part?

I dreamt that part too Clay. I dreamt it too

This was the general vibe iirc

I mean yeah that's still a lot when you add up ESPN/TNT/ABC and CSN in boston. guess I'm only watching Anthony Davis on highlight reels though huh

bet this doesn't happen or is a really cruddy product, espn always does the internet so bad

5 pelicans games on national TV and one is against the fucking utah jazz jeeeeeeeeeesus
