Fuck, did not realize you were out of the game. I'll carry this torch alone until you're back, unless Goose steps up.

I'm taking a week or two off, been on a horrible skid.

Enough with the sucker bet parlays, goose.

The 1-8 Hawks are up 12 on the cavs with a few minutes remaining

And LeBron was caught trying to slide in an Instagram model's DMs. Not a good start to this season for him.

Lol. I did not know this. Going to google it.. Let’s see this girl

Good interview with Kyle Kuzma. Kid is the real deal.

Simmons/Embiid/Covington vs. Lonzo/Kuzma/Ingram on ESPN right now. These 2 teams will be at the top of the league in 3-5 years.

You're suffering from a bout of irrational exuberance with Lonzo and Kuzma.

Yeah, love how people are considering Ball a “star” already. All hype no substance.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Lonzo can't shoot but his overall game is good. Kuzma is just...good. Ingram is impressive, as well. Plus they are going to be a little better next year when Lebron joins up.

But my favorite young player in the league by far is Embiid. He has the wit and trash talk game to match his on court game, which is pretty sick already. Just needs to stay healthy.

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

With you on the 76ers, first time really watching them tonight and Simmons+Embiid are fun.

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Embiid with 41?! No one on the lakers can guard him.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

I'm not sure anyone in the league can guard him. Finished with 46, 15 boards and 7 blocks. I had to go to bed but looks like he cashed me outside.

Do you guys have the NBA League Pass? Interested in watching more basketball.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Yes

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Kind of. Just be aware that if the game is national on NBAtv, TNT, and ESPN it will be blacked out on league pass. Also, if it’s a local game on the standard affiliate channel like fox sports Detroit or whatever the Knicks/nets are always on.

Welcome to the watch quality basketball club, Steve.

Thanks, I just looked over the pricing and I think the pay by the game plan works best. We already have cable and there's good options throughout the week, when there's a big game on I don't mind plunking down the $7.00.

The NBA has a really good product right now, I'm into it.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Kind of.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

It is the best pro sports league right now, though and I don't really think it's close.

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Kind of.

Yep, I agree. The NFL is a PR nightmare and i can feel dirty just watching it. The fans are trash, the players are beating up females, the national anthem shit, and let’s not forget about CTE. Also- the rules of football are just insane now. What’s a catch?What isn’t? NHL i can’t really judge i just don’t give a fuck about hockey. MLB playoffs were fun, but 182 games? Atmosphere at those are dead.

Adam Silver has done a fantastic job as well. The only negative i can think off the top of my head are the soft flagrant calls but a lot of them are protecting player’s heads which i can’t really fault them for.

I won't argue this right now except baseball is in pretty good shape too. I think baseball has more room to improve as more black athletes think about avoiding the brain injuries in football. After peaking in the 70/80s it would be good for the game if they came back.

Hockey always going to be the 4th sport until the day soccer passes it, but I could see the NFL slipping to 3rd.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

NFL seems like it's kinda fucked with the brain injury stuff. I don't know if it's sustainable.

I do really enjoy my big $$ auction league. I probably wouldn't watch it at all otherwise.

You guys already know my feelings about baseball, but just want to say I agree with what goose wrote above.

I’m amazed at how my interest in the NFL has plummeted. It has plummeted in college as well, I do not follow it as closely as I once did. I still tune in to MSU games though, love my alma mater too much to not follow it and I think coach d is one of the few non douche bag coaches out there. league of denial completely changed my views on football.

[steveschneider]

Looking forward to the Celtics Warriors game tonight.

I had no idea, good shit Steve. Heard Kyrie went off in his mask recently - Golden State favored by 7.5.

[Death Roe]

Kyrie's Cleveland-era face mask looks like a rejected prop from one of the 50 Shades movies.

[Herbie Green]

The few NBA games I have watched this year were snoozers.  Wake me up in May.

[steveschneider]

Alright here we go.

Alright here we go.

I think WBH took the LAkers in this game.

I’m too new to this thread, that one is over my head.

Wbh, you bullish on the lakers this year? This Celtics team looks pretty damn good. The Atlantic could be absolutely loaded in a few years.

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Alright here we go.

After listening to Stevens in that huddle I think Herbie would be a better coach for the Cs.

Haha! That was a pretty uninspired speech on his part. Herbie could do better.

[steveschneider]

1 Pt lead. This game is great!

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Holy shit what a run without Kyrie

[steveschneider]

Holy shit what a run without Kyrie

Brown is playing a hell of a game. I guess at any point golden state will catch fire and start hitting 3’s

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Oddly low scoring game.
