    That sucks. I hope they get their money back and/or that Comcast doesn't do that moving forward.

    I would have bought the $4.99 SL package but was afraid it would be blackout for me anyway. I'm pretty sure it would be blackout if I purchased. I just watch the replays on NBATV. I rather watch live but for SL isn't that big of a deal for me.

    I respect your opinion, but I think you bar for "theft" is too low.

    The USG told the American public that income taxes were a temporary measure required for WW2.
    Cable TV told us that we had to pay for cable because there would be no commercials.

    We've been lied to and had our $ taken by illegitimate and sometimes illegal means. So, when you start taking retribution on these entities for theft -which is really, then I feel comfortable with calling watching games online theft.

    My problem is different. At $4.99 for a good stream of all of summer league, I think that's better than the often mediocre free streams out there. In addition, I can re-watch the games at my leisure. i.e, I think in this situation it's smarter to pay.

    I live in Eastern Oregon and the streams did not blackout for me.

    Well, hell. I should stop paying my taxes for the same "reasoning".

    Not paying taxes and not paying to watch a basketball game are on slightly different levels.

    I can watch the re-run on NBATV. I just want to watch it live to feel like a badass for doing it against the law.

    Makes me feel hard. PS, I jaywalked once.

    No, that would be way to radical. You should pay your taxes, just not your income taxes....

    Back On Topic (OK this thread has never really been On Topic), I don't think we're going to win tonight. Jeremy Lamb has averaged 20 a game. Being guarded by Waskully Babbitt, he should go for 30.

    Why do you think Babbitt's going to guard Lamb. I think Matthews/Smith or Barton get that assignment.

    Yeah, Babbitt will probably have to guard Terrence Jones and Royce White.

    Lamb will get his numbers, unless Wes guards him and plays a lot. T. Jones should go off against us. We don't have a 4 who can stay with him. Hopefully Dame and Meylo keep them busy.

    I sure hope the "dame" nickname does not stick, can't stand it

    Why do you think Babbitt's going to guard anyone? :)

    Seriously, silly mistake, but we're in trouble on the defensive end with LB

    Make you think of a 40's chick? Or was it more 20s... Maybe 40s was "broad" and 20s was "dame".

    Dame is a logical nickname for him, Nobody likes saying three syllable names while playing basketball.
