T'Wolves could have a pretty solid year, got a lot of young talent there and they played well in their first 2 games (despite the fact they were loses). Excited to see how we go :)

Very good point Tia haha. Can a mod change that to 2012?

The Bobcats / Heat game was awesome. Augustin is hugely up and coming.

Henderson and Diaw ripped it up too :D

Lots of exciting teams coming.

Love absolutely SMASHED Bogut yesterday. Smashed him.

Based on what members I think will contribute, I've shared this thread with specific channels.

Grizzlies, Clippers, Wolves, Sixers, Bobcats should all improve.

Bucks I don't know. Same as Warriors.

Bogut spoke on SEN just recently saying how the lockout was a blessing for him. If they do decide to switch on at some point, bucks could be a force...

@kerosanak

the lakers? maybe man. maybe

Lolwarriors.
Does anybody on that team play the slightest amount of defense?
At least their games are always pretty good to watch, because it turns into an all offensive affair.

Which is always the best.

@kerosanak durant's domination is the main reason they're so close. I could watch oklahoma just for them.

Knicks / GSW will be good to watch...

OH, and for anyone keen, nba.tv is free til the 9th of january. So you can watch every single NBA game as it's played, completely free until then.

I love Norris Cole's play for the Heat. He has a lot of confidence and I see him contributing nicely to the Heat offense.

A lot of teams looking good this season though. The Warriors look like they have improved greatly on defense.

You say "force" so casually. Lakers were a force. Spurs were a force. Heat will be a force.

Bucks will never be a force :P

Yeah playing very well. Can't be easy playing with those two egomaniacs.

Me too man! They were awesome. I was really impressed with them

@beta Dude, Andrew Bogut is hugely under rated. Ilyasova is solid and consistent, Brandon jennings hit 24 points in his last game, which is up there with the best of them!

Shame league pass is so expensive this year :( don't think I can justify it this year, especially when I won't be able to watch as many games as last season.

It's a joke. It's free until June 9, but if you use that then you have to try and find justification in paying MORE for even LESS of a season. I would technically be paying like $50 more for about 30 total less games PER TEAM.

And that's NOT including the playoffs.

Ultimately the league was pushing for a better team payoff than what they got with the strike deal, as the league wanted to be able to generate more revenue. Players made a big compromise but league is still running at a loss. Stuff like this will go up to cover those loses.

I'd be happy with just getting Timberwolves for the season, but it is only $40 less than getting every game. It is retarded.

Yeah, it's a stupid deal. But people will rush at it because it's cheaper, without realising how utterly ripped they're getting. At least for the $50 more you can watch more good teams play each other, rather than the same team all the time.

Not reliable, often shit quality, hard to find replays. League Pass breaks up the games into dunks, shot, steals, you name it, offers condensed replays of the FULL game (like 20 highlights from each quarter), or FULL replays for the full season. Several different qualities, four games inscreen, ingame chat, legitimacy.

But shit it costs a lot.
