If anyone is interested, one can watch Team USA play Germany at noon on Fox.

I noticed he isn't vintage Steph. Trying to figure out if these guys are just mailing in these friendlies. Embiid looking lethargic too.I have to say considering the Warriors didn't make the playoffs let alone make a long run, Curry looks really lethargic in these games? I don't know if he just is rounding back into shape or isn't used to coming in and out so much but he seems to really slow compared to regular season Steph. He's still great but I hope this is just out of shape and not a sign he's finally showing his age

Kyle Lowry and Reggie Jackson. One of them isn't going to get any playing time.
Where's Eric gordon in that scenario?It'll be interesting to see because Maxey can play SG. I wonder if that's the plan, run Maxey next to Lowry/Reggie while PG13, someone, and Embiid man the frontcourt.
A lot of very good young talent on that team. I trust that Scoot and Anfernee will make a jump this season, but if Ayton plays like he did to end the season, Portland will be very dangerousI like what Portland is doing. With consistency, they should be able to compete with anyone.

Watching USA vs Germany. Booker looks quite passive so far. What is your impression? At least he should focus on defence and getting open for catch and shoot. Not play like it is an All Star game were it's just jogging 3pt line to 3pt line.
Too many vets is not necessarily a recipe for success. I doubt Philly can make it to the finals. I think NYK and Boston have better chances, but NY lost a couple of key players. We'll see. Looking forward to next season but I think I have to start paying attention to the NFL first.
Anyone tried subscribing to NFL like NBA league pass. What is it like (price, quality)?

Sunday ticket is expensive (like $300-400) but you get every game (can’t do it on a team basis like league pass). But the freedom to watch whatever you game your want in real time is superb.Too many vets is not necessarily a recipe for success. I doubt Philly can make it to the finals.

Have things changed since NFL Sunday ticket moved? I never paid full price for NFL Sunday ticket when I had SAT. I used to play the cancel my subscription game and used to get NFL Sunday Ticket at a big discount. Have not kept up since ditching SAT and it moving.Sunday ticket is expensive (like $300-400) but you get every game (can’t do it on a team basis like league pass).

I think I paid 69 dollars for it when I first signed up for it on DTV in 94 but as I recall, it was only a partial season. I think it was 1995 before you could buy a full season on Directv and it was 99 bucks for early signup that first full year and jumped to 129 the next and 159 the year after - something like that. It probably wasn't until year 5 on DTV that I started having to negotiate to get the price more reasonable and having to play that game every year was part of why I finally left Directv.Have things changed since NFL Sunday ticket moved?

I got DirectTV year one I think. Played the game every single year unless like you mentioned there was some deal I took advantage. Towards the end I just got sick of playing games to get the best NFL Sunday Ticket Deal. Just give it to your loyal customers at the discounted deal. I eventually ditched both NFL Sunday Ticket and DirectTV.I think I paid 69 dollars for it when I first signed up for it on DTV in 94 but as I recall, it was only a partial season.

Do you remember the first year, the partial year? I was so looking forward to DTV adding the NFL package but it was somewhere around midseason 1994 before they finally signed the deal. I know it existed elsewhere before DTV but I'd never had access to it until DTV bought the rights.I got DirectTV year one I think.

HA. I do remember that. I also remember having a smaller form factor SAT caused all kinds of havoc with apartment complexes. Year one I was in an apartment. There was a raging battle if you were allowed to put up your own SAT's on your balcony. My complex said no but I did it anyway. As long as I didn't permanently attach they didn't fight me on it.Do you remember the first year, the partial year?

And back then, having just retired, I woke up every morning excited by all the sports viewing options Directv offered. Fox had yet to buy and then destroy all the local sports networks so it was a sports lovers dream. I used to spend a few hours every week ironing out my sports viewing/recording plans for the upcoming week.
Until Tivo came out a year or two later I was having to rely on 4 VCRs to record what I couldn't view during real time but still, it was sports heaven AFAIC. Tivo upped the game even more though when they let me put 4 devices in the same room, each one capable of recording two feeds simultaneously but that didn't happen until their second year release that allowed for addressable remotes.
I’ve never gotten much of a discount. But with its move to YouTube tv I don’t even know if those cancellation games are even available to the consumer anymore.Have things changed since NFL Sunday ticket moved?
