    Cheapest way to stream NBA playoffs

    I moved and cancelled my cable, but was able to catch the NCAA tourney. I want to watch the NBA playoffs and was wondering what's the cheapest option to stream? I have the ESPN/Hulu/Disney package currently and pay I think $17/mo. Looks like all the games are on ESPN/ABC? Except the play in...

    'New' travelling in the NBA...

    Really good video on James Harden and the 'new' travelling rules in the NBA. Some of them are so funny, it looks like such a blatant travel to 'older' school fans. Dude does a really good job of explaining it all...

    Luka Doncic reminds you of...

    Trying to think. He's pretty unique. Chris Mullin. Mully was a better shooter, Doncic is a little more athletic. Similar size, but Donic is much better at scoring in the paint. Both can handle but Mullin didn't play that much point that I remember. Grant Hill. Less athletic than Hill...

    Who would be the best player in the NBA...

    ... if everybody were the same size and athleticism? Let's say for argument's sake every player was reduced to 6'0" and 175 pounds with good but not crazy athleticism. Who would be the best player?

    Assessment of one-and-done

    Jalen Green, the #1 prospect by ESPN has decided to bypass college and enter the draft. And his choices even if he had decided to go, wouldn't have changed the college landscape. The contribution by Edwards and Wiseman this year was a negligible. I don't know who implemented one-and-done in...

    There's a couple of significant non-con games left, but for all intents and purposes, we're done. So, here are my revised, truncated conference winner picks. Give your picks, for all conferences, your own conference, whatever you want. ACC - Duke. Most consistent team in CBB. Big East -...

    James Wiseman leaves Memphis

    Off to the NBA. Ya know, kids these days. You give them $50,000 and give their dad a Mercedes and fight the NCAA to get you eligible, and they turn around and walk out on you anyway... :dhd: Little Penny is off to a great start.

    How would you prefer college eligibility to be handled?

    Question for NBA fans. I am an NBA fan as well, but a bigger college bball fan? It looks they're bringing prep to pros back. Some of you may be old enough to remember every period of the NBA/college hardship history. Basically, guys used to stay in college 3 to 4 years, depending on their...

    What's your ideal way to spend the first 2 days of the tourney?

    Just kind of curious. I usually take off work the first two days of the tourney. I can't always, but it worked out and I've got it this year too. I usually watch from home and usually go to a bar for a couple of games. If a friend wants to meet me, I'll do that. This year, they've legalized...

    Which program will reach a Final Four first?

    Just a little diversion before the games today. So, I've put together a list of programs in various degrees of flux, either because of NCAA investigations, coaching losses (and potential ones), or missing possibly their best bite at the apple. Either way, it was a bad year for all of these...

    How conferences have fared since re-alignment.

    I was in a little bit of a geeky mood this morning. Didn't take as long as it might have seemed. These numbers are since 2014. I think the numbers are right. Looks right. Also, Louisville was still in the American in 2014, and tmrw's game has not been counted yet, obviously.

    Who's got the next two days off?

    Either from school or work? Wives and girlfriends? I do. Jesus Christ, fuck work. I'm so excited. I've got my TVs and computer set up and everything.

    What the bracket should have looked like...

    I actually agree with Coach Cal. Geographic ass-kissing has ruined the way they seed the tournament. Just take and S-curve and seed, making small adjustments. That adjustment being IMO, teams that have already played each other and just try and make the matchups entertaining. I also think...
