Yeah not having blackouts here is great, but it's still ridiculous how much more expensive it is by country. Some places in Europe and Asia are US$120.

Listening to the podcast, and I was worried there'd be no white people on this, but you came through.

 

[ridethepiggy]

Lol @ you thinking that's the best case scenario...do you watch basketball or do you just skim through it? That's closer to the worst case scenario.

Well lets be honest, you're one of the most knowledgable posters here and it was apparent after you stated that LeBron is better than Mj ever was. Straight up legit.

I've seen The Wire. That's the required quota, right?

kind of fucked up to use a picture of a baby elephant crying because it's mom rejected him as a way to troll

Has no relevance to the post either but hey, whatever.

Agreed. Quite tasteless. Would have been better to just post a pic of the Gardens rafters without a Knicks championship banner in the last 40 years.

International League Pass subscribers actually get the best deal. You guys aren't subject to blackout restrictions. You get all of the games regardless of what network they are on, too.

So while the US League Pass is cheaper, it's completely gimped.

Agreed kinda, it is more expensive than last year for the basic package. You basically get 9 months of every NBA game that airs so $230(with early bird) for premium isn't that bad. Also it means I never have to listen to the Jazz and Cavs announcers again.

Unless it's Jazz vs Cavs.

lmao, the Heat's longtime beat writer usually answers 3 questions a day but today:

ASK IRA: Michael Beasley special edition

If there was a Miami Heat Dictionary, it is now clear that the "Polarizing" entry would be accompanied by a picture of Michael Beasley. Thursday, there were 4,234 questions in the "Ask Ira" email box. No, not all were about Michael and not all from Thursday, but after several pages of scrolling through, I figured the best way was to offer a larger than usual daily sampling from the mailbag, so here are a dozen.

He was getting questions about Beasley even while he was gone. I don't know what it is about this guy lol

 

[jl4855]

Yahoo is now open, position eligibility is a lot stricter right now (no one has dual eligibility), hoping that gets fixed along the way...

We love our rookie supercool, watch the bandwagon heat fans join in when beas has one of those shooting nights and drops 20 off the bench. (he's bound to have 20 decent games in him a season)

This was one of the more hype beas moments

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBHHmwH3m_o

I watched a lot of his games with minny and phoenix on league pass (well when he really lost it with the suns I didn't bother), no way he's allowed to play like that with the heat.

 

[Byakuya769]

Michael Beasley is basically Carmelo Anthony but with more upside, and likes to smoke a little here and there. It's a big deal.

Troll so hard, motherfuckers want to fine me.

I like it.

BEASLEY!

 

[diehard]

Rajon Rondo is 0 for his last 14 with the game on the line ( < 24 secs < 3pts)


Fun fact of the day.

 

[charsace]

Michael Beasley is basically Carmelo Anthony but with more upside, and likes to smoke a little here and there. It's a big deal.

I remember when Beasley was being drafted people were calling him a 30 and 10 Carmelo. I said at best he would be Wizards Jamison and got fucking heated.

You also told me that Danilo Gallinari was Italian Bird

 

[charsace]

You also told me that Danilo Gallinari was Italian Bird

Gallo has broke his back and fucked up his knees and shooting wrist and he's still 10x the player Beasley is.

I should add that my Jamison stuff mostly pissed off people on realgm. No one on gaf called him a 30 and 10 carmelo, well pheeniknicks was the exception, he is a dumb enough kids guzzler to do it.

 

[h3ro]

Don't mess with Gallo.

I still miss him.

 

[Dominican Power]

You miss him getting hurt and missing 3's? You should miss Wilson more.

And he said Derrick Rose was a bust and that Luke Babbitt was an All-Star.

I don't understand what's funny. In 2k there is a big difference between 90-93 rated player and 94-97 rated players.

To be fair Melo has been better than Durant in every 2k other than maybe 2k13, so Reilo has a point. The two really shouldn't even be close in rating. Based on efficiency Melo shouldn't have such outrageous offensive numbers.

And his shot release is the quickest, easiest in the game.

The Gasol number is fine, but Hibbert and Lopez should be much higher.

 

[Tragicomedy]

•Carmelo Anthony (92)

About 5 points too high for what he brings to the table.

It's Kad...that's all you need to know.

Hibbert was ass for the majority of the season last year. He only started playing well for like a month.

2k literally goes off of what have you done for me lately in terms of stats so yea, he should be a lot higher based on his most recent performances.

Then what's wrong with Melo's rating? Dude was on fire in April.

his numbers were shit in the playoffs

Since when they did they include the playoffs for player ratings in 2K?

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

His playoff #s:

28 pts 25FGA 6 Rebs 1ast 40% shooting 29% from 3.

I guess they don't, hense the numbers

 

[captmcblack]

what a backfire

Not a backfire, was actually asking.

Guess that means it's correct that Durant is ranked higher then, right?

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Durant was better in the playoffs and the regular season by a good amount. He's the objectively better player.

 

[Dominican Power]

Durant should be around 97-98

 

[Future PhaZe]

as long as Beal gets an A+ from three I'm good

.46% from deep post All-star

I see you Smokey!
