    You really need to proofread your posts. You misspelled uncoachable, and the answer is yes.

    Don't have to be down to 15 roster spots until the regular season.

    Because all teams have until October 24 to make their final roster cuts to get down to the 15 player max going into the regular season.

    Assuming this season is similar to last, that means about 120 players currently on NBA rosters will be cut between now and the 24th.

    Teams must trim their rosters down to the 15-player max 48 hours before the season starts. That gives the players that are cut time to clear waivers so they can be picked up by any teams currently carrying fewer than 15 players.

    I liked Stotts on Coaches Open Court talking about suiting up all 15 guys...making them all eligible to play any game of the season and I completely agree

    No youre right OB (but I think its 13 on the active roster) but that doesn't mean the other two aren't on the team remember last year when we had cliff and montero in the 14-15 slots they were inactive most of the season but still on the roster. When we had guys go down with injuries we would activate one of the two of them.

    This is one of my least favorite rules in the NBA and frankly all of sports. It was a rule from a time when teams couldnt field the full 15 guys or find replacements when guys got hurt. That is obviously not the issue anymore. The NBA should get rid of the d league and expand rosters to 20 (15 active roster spots) with teams allowed a 5 man practice squad kinda like in the NFL. It would allow teams to groom players that might not get a chance otherwise and keep the players they develop. A la will barton.

    I never understood why the final 2 guys could never suit up.

    Does anyone have a way to stream it? I have cable access to NBA TV but not where I'm at. I got a laptop and internet connection, but Playstation Vue doesn't carry NBA TV...

    By cable access I mean I have an account that has NBA TV, so I can stream it online but my cable package where I'm at doesn't have it.
