I would be excited about the ESPN thing but the watch ESPN app is wonky enough can only imagine how rough this will be

this is the time of year where i think about getting league pass but then remember that i subject my wife to enough sports and she would justifiably murder me

shit that's not a bad idea I might as well go see 'em at the garden vs celts in january, can't be that pricey bc people still sleeping on the pels (for now)

thats a good call if i'm going to try to attend a c's game this year
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 03:26 (nine years ago) link
i might have tickets to the cleveland game that's like a week away and i don't even know, seems like too much, i might want to keep that team as some kind of imaginary thing that only exists on tv

honestly haven't really reflected on how surreal it's inevitably going to be to see those cavaliers, preseason highlights aside. it was surreal enough imagining it during free agencypalooza.

its so hard to predict when all the teams on one side are good and the ones on the other side are terrible
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 05:29 (nine years ago) link
that 5-9 logjam in the west is just nuts also spottie u are mega wrong sry to tell u abt that. rly don't think portland can miss it unless they have a significant injury to one of the all-stars. but i do have them falling a spot. still figure 50-52 wins.
― Clay, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 05:32 (nine years ago) link
yea predictions serve no purpose beyond being -something- to talk about.

oh and i forgot the heat guess they're in that 3rd or 4th spot on mine, sucks to bump out ManU tho.

come on guys doesn't anyone think derek fisher is in the running for coach of the year, surely you can hand an award to a sock if a dead man can win an election
nah jk there's no way it's not pop's race to lose, and cloudy with a chance of thibs if the bulls go further in the playoffs

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

i think the east will be deeper this year than it has been recently tho
Would like to thank everyone in advance for the 6k+ Mike Woodson time capsule thread, which I will be setting aside a few hours to read through today to I know wtf happened after Lebron signed with ... the Cavs, maybe? Did that happen?
NB that thread has over 150mb of jpgs and gifs, good job good effort, folks.

League pass is the best 200 bucks I spend every year
There's an Internet only version and also a smaller Internet version where you pick five teams you want which should fill up your schedule nicely if you just pick a fave team or two plus a couple contenders
Mini pro tip the league pass apps let u listen to radio broadcasts and pick either home or away sometimes I rock that while walking the dog

xxxpost is there a way to get just the radio? granted basketball isnt as enjoyable via radio as baseball is but it'd be a decent substitute for the giant league pass splurge
