    This is a fantastic idea. Make the worst play the 4th worst and the 2nd play the 3rd, the winning teams play for the first pick with the loser getting the 2nd and the losing teams play for 3rd with the team that loses both games getting the 4th pick.

    Brilliant!!!!

    And then reverse it by saying “you should have tried playing this hard all season” and then give the pics to teams 10-14 instead. Ha!

    Does NBA League pass include all the games for the playoffs?

    I started a free trial through Prime, but it says I need to also subscribe to Max to watch some?

    If I get League pass on the app will it circumvent that or does one have to pay for multiple services to see the games?

    Warriors playing depth tonight. Bringing in guys that didn't play last game. Chess not Checkers.
    It's a long series and they need to spread the minutes out a bit. Why not after taking the first one.

    Depends.

    If you're international, then yes (I think).

    If you're in US, only the NBATV games are live full broadcasts. You can watch the TNT-OT (backboard camera - no sound) live, but all the other games are available basically as a 'tape' delay of 3-hrs after the game is over.

    No, just the NBA TV ones. I did the Max subscription through Amazon for the next month to see the TNT games. Getting to see season 2 of Last of Us helped justify the extra cost.

    Except it's not a long series--only 5 games in the opening round, right? Clearly they're banking on winning both home games, but that just feels like a dangerous strategy to me. If Steph has just one off night, they're heading back to Houston for a winner-take-all.

    Bro? They went to 7 games 22 years ago? We're talking decades since there was a 5 game series.

    7 games since the early 2000’s. This helps prove my point that the NBA in unwatchable

    Playoffs are fun to watch but I agree regular season games just don’t have much intensity.
    Been an advocate of a shorter season for a while. 66 games would make every game more meaningful.

    Or that I'm getting senile. I think I conflated with the MLB first round.

    That's one thing that makes no sense. No, not you getting senile, MLB having best of 5 in the first round.

    Especially since the top seed in each league gets a bye.

    Try talking players in to playing meaningless games to draft someone to steal their roster spot.

    Let it go old man. This league is thriving and very watchable in spite of your never ending attempt to prove otherwise.
    Stick to your inside trade info FAMS!

    Not sure where to share….. having lunch yesterday with my dad kinda in our hood ant a spot called Grind w/ Tryz. Amazing Hawaiian spot…. and I hear,”Big John!” Turn around and it’s NBA legend Channing Frye. Such a good dude. So cool and down to earth. He lives here still. Started up a wine company called CHOSEN with Kevin Love. He was at a meeting there. Caught up for about 10 minutes.
    Dude loves RipCity! Anyway, thought I’d update how a former Blazer is doing post playing career.
