This is probably the best set of games we had in this young season.

Celtics/Wiz, Jazz/Hornets, Bulls/Hawks, Raptors/OKC, Rockets/Spurs, & Blazers/Clippers are all good match-ups

The revenge of Harrison Barnes tonight.

You heard it here first.

All jokes aside, this guy is playing great.

Just goes to show that the Preseason isn't always a good barometer.

I said he was the worst signing of the Summer. He is proving me wrong....so far.

I know I'm gonna regret saying this, but I like our chances against Boston tonight.

Boston is Gimp.

So, as long as Wall doesn't shoulder block any refs, you have a chance.

Nets Knicks on ESPN is a joke. From a pure entertainment standpoint i would've picked wolves vs magic

Have you seen the Magic play? They're awful and so are the Wolves. I agree that Nets/Knicks on espn is a joke but Minny/Orlando was not the better option. I would have went with Boston/Washington or Toronto/OKC

I'd want to watch TE Wolves mainly because of Wiggins, KAT, Lavine, and Dunn, vs Gordon.

Sorry it's kind of lame the Knicks get so many national games. It wears on you.

And Lavine vs Gordon is entertainment by itself

I agree with you but I guess it doesn't bother me much because I get the league pass so I'm not forced to watch the national tv games but I can see why it would annoy those who doesn't have LP. Like tonight I have no plans of watching this Knicks/Nets games unless its close late. I'll be watching Boston/WSH & CHI/ATL

How do you deal with the games not being in HD. That's pretty much the only thing that prevents me from ordering the League Pass. That and I get to watch the Warriors as my national broadcast team.

I just deal with it. It's stupid and frustrating but with my cable provider, I do get 4 league pass games in HD but the rest are in SD. Frustrating but don't really have an option.

After the Hawks finally beating Lebron in Cleveland, I'm predicting they lay an egg tonight against the Bulls.

I have the team pass for the Wiz but I've never gotten league pass before. Do they have a redzone type channel?

Unfortunately not. I feel like that should be the next step especially for nights with a lot of games (Wed, Fri, and Sat)

They are in HD. Just not every game. At least on my cable provider (FIOS). They have 4 channels that are in HD. Rest are not.

@WiggyRuss

Comcast only has 1 game in HD, the rest are in SD. It's a joke. I basically stick to the national broadcasts and local games. I know its first world problems, but it gives me a headache to watch SD now.

My wife loves basketball more than me and even she doesn't want to order the League Pass because of the SD issue. I mean, it's been years since HD was a staple and League pass has existed. Don't know why they can't fix this.
