Yeah, but Nate had some highlights like that against NBA guys.

The hops on that kid are crazy.

Remember a JV player for little Rio Grande was 5'9, maybe 145 with the smallest calves I have ever seen. He could freakishly touch the top of the square.....but sucked at basketball. Couldn't even hold his own in pickup games vs non-student athletes.

Brad Stevens out of timeouts is not fair.

Not sure if this has been all year, but LP is available per game at $6.99

It has been. Love the concept, but that price is outrageous. I just have the full LP subscription, so I never worried about it. But $7 a game is dumb. Not sure why they got rid of the 5-team streaming package. That was the best deal.

I just find the stadium streams for games. Haven't had an issue all yr. Was going to get LP but like Laley said, they took away the 5 team package, and blacked out local/TNT/ESPN games. I dont have cable, so no thanks. Also I paid for NFL Network online package last season, and my god it was fucking horrible. Not sure if LP is better (it wasn't during the free weekend at the beginning of the season) so I opted to just find streams.

I think it's too expensive too especially since you can find HD streams for free if you spend 10 seconds googling.

A $1 per game might be the right price.

I could see $3-4 a game, as they are still going to want to "screw" you over by buying individual games.

They don't offer that. Closest was the 5 team streaming option. This year it's all or 1 game at a time.

It's at $99 now, but not sure if they dropped it after all star or it was always $100. Seems unlikely it was always $100. NFL was $150 and completely not worth it.

Pretty sure I paid like $199.99 for the year. Split with a buddy in Boston and one in Jacksonville.

Just looked and they did apparently offer the single team package, for $120. We did the full season LP, cause we had it split with 3 guys. And at that point, I want access to all the games not just 1 team.

Yeah I normally split with one other friend but I decided to just bite the bullet for the whole package myself this year. I watch enough NBA that it was still worth it to pay $200 over the whole season.

When you split it...are you able to watch one more than one device at the same time?

Yes. Multiple devices, multiple games, different cities. I'm sure one day they will crack down, but as of now, they haven't. Same with MLB.TV, HBOGo, etc.

Anyone else feel the Warriors wouldn't be NBA champions if the NBA actually called illegal screens?

If I'm T Lue, I go to the refs before each game and during half time and ask about moving screens. I would start a PR campaign talking so much about illegal screens that everyone and their mom knows GS is using them to get space for Curry's shot. Make it controversial as possible so that there is pressure on refs to cut down the # of moving screens each game.

I know we bitched about it a lot during the finals last year.

And I agree that we should make it very well known going in to the finals(if we get there) that the Warriors love doing them.

No worries. At least you post from time to time instead just posting dank memes like "Wednesday". It's just incredible that an admin would be so dank.
