Masai Ujiri hops in to offer KJ McDaniels and one of Norm Powell's shoes. They immediately accept...because magic. Masai magic.

I wonder if the League Pass streaming will actually work on PS4 this year. Its the one thing preventing me from shelling out for the season package. Every time I have done the free trial in the past the streaming works like hot garbage.

Yeah. Same here. I really wish they would just partner with MLB for that. MLB's streaming is flawless.

Dear Celtics bros, why is Horford literally afraid of rebounds as shown in that clip? I have seen him do it elsewhere last season too.

I mean your average 5 year old wouldn't flinch from a ball like that even.

Horford is a good basketball player who was caught on camera flinching on a dead ball free throw once every three years. What's it to ya? I mean we know he's not cleaning up on the glass, but honestly, what's the point here?

I am hoping it's better on Roku. Last year I paid for it and couldn't even use it on my PS4.

How much is league pass?

Assume it works on Apple TV?

It was super sketchy for me on Apple TV last year. Streaming was low quality. And it would constantly fuck up where my location was and randomly black out games for me. They usually offer a free trial to start the season so I'd check that out first before committing any money.

Remember Landry Fields? Whatever happened to Landry Fields?

More importantly, what happened to Landry Fields' wife?

(it's incredible how quickly players disappear)

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Updated sports betting news for fellow degenerates:

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...tes-win-nba-championship-second-straight-year

This year's Warriors are around -240 favorites to win their third title in four years.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are next at 4-1. No other team has odds in the single digits at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas.

The Boston Celtics are 10-1, followed by the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs at 16-1. After that group of contenders, the Washington Wizards have the next-best odds at 40-1. More bets have been placed on the Celtics to win the NBA title than any other team at multiple Las Vegas sportsbooks.

While the Warriors have emerged as big favorites, sportsbooks have hung attractive enough odds to get bettors to bet against Golden State. At William Hill's 107 Nevada sportsbooks, seven teams -- including the Los Angeles Lakers -- have attracted more bets to win the NBA title than the Warriors. But the larger money is backing Golden State. In fact, 26.6 percent of the money bet on the NBA championship odds at William Hill is on the Warriors. That's more than double the amount that's been bet on any other team.

The Warriors (-225) are favored over the field (+195) to win the title in a proposition bet offered at William Hill books. As of Sunday, 90 percent of the bets and 98 percent of the money wagered on the prop were on the field.

The Westgate has taken 18 bets that the Warriors will not make the playoffs at 100-1, with the average amount wagered around $80, according to the assistant manager Jeff Sherman. The Warriors are -100,000 to make the playoffs. No one has bet on them at that price.

"Our worst-case scenario [on the playoff props] is if the Warriors miss the playoffs and the Lakers make the playoffs," Sherman said. "We don't need those two."

The Lakers are 5-1 to make the playoffs and -700 to miss the playoffs at the Westgate. The first 56 bets on the prop were on the "Yes," including some four-figure bets on the Lakers to make the playoffs. As of Sunday, there had been just two bets on the Lakers to miss the playoffs.

Cleveland's LeBron James and San Antonio's Kawhi Leonard are co-favorites, at 4-1, to win the regular-season MVP.

Philadelphia's Ben Simmons is a +175 favorite to win rookie of the year, just ahead of the Lakers' Lonzo Ball at +325.

Smallish bets on long odds is pretty common though, so it's not too surprising.

i don't get it. Blatantly walking with the ball and noone calls it, why wouldn't you point it out if the refs aren't looking so that it gets called? What's to be salty about?

Season hasn't already started yet and fools already trying to blow BS up?

I think it's like $200 for everything

it seems like they might have done away with the 5-team package deal?

$250 now for the all inclusive pack, then $180 for the same deal but with commercials. Dunno why they can't make a competent ps4 app, other than because thats my primary streaming medium!

That price is pretty good.

Ninja's description of the service is horrible.

Thanks for the info. I will sign up for a free trial and see how it works on my Apple TV. I used to pay for NFL Ticket and stream that to my laptop or PS4 and it was the worst. Lets see if this is any better.

Not sure which thread to post this in, but Coach Pop just went all in on Trump again

Just spoke to Gregg Popovich who called Trump a "soulless coward" for lying about Obama & Bush not calling families of fallen soldiers...

Coach Pop wanted to make sure it was "on the record." The full quotes are coming.

Raps gave him a bigass contract to pry him away from the Knicks, he injured his elbow and sustained nerve damage, couldn't shoot at all and was forced to retire. I think he works as a scout for the Spurs now. Idk if his wife still does modelling or if she's settled down now that they have a kid
