2024/25 nba season

Postby mp3 on Fri Oct 04, 2024 5:13 pm

nba basketball is back today with the nuggets vs celtics from Abu Dhabi

The Jazz take on the New Zealand Breakers who picked up Tacko Fall followed by the Twolves vs Lakers

Personally iam really excited to tune in, sure its preseason but come on who doesn't want to see lebron and Bronny share the same court together, Randle and Edwards post trade and the Celtics Nuggets should be a good one!

Looks like ESPN Australia has some of the preseason action beginning next week, so I'll look to catch a few games!

Its a shame that sky tv here in the UK lost the tv rights as once a week they would broadcast a live game for free on there YouTube channel but they lost the rights to TNT Europe, since then I've been watching via other free options online

I've been thinking about getting League Pass again. I even considered the premium edition of NBA 2K25 since the inclusion of League Pass makes it decent value, but as I ultimately didn't opt for it, I might take advantage of a trial or sale. As it is they have brought it down in price, though I still wish they did a better job with classic content on demand.

I was looking at the prices, I've really just enjoyed watching the nuggets vs Celtics game on LP, iam not sure I could commit to another bill to pay right now but it seems the basic package has come down to £16.99 from the last time a few years ago it was at £22 while the premier package is £25.99 which iam sure I saw it say the classic games went back to the 2010's which for us old guys come on... we mean the 90s don't we!

If nothing else, they could at least be cool and let the unofficial YouTube uploads stay up!

Yeah I know mate, I usually just wait till the next morning and watch games on basketball-video put I saw on the news that in the UK as of today with the English premier football league there using new software to detect households who are streaming unofficial links and handing out heavy fines,I know this is more for guys who are the main source streaming for others but still I don't want any of that smoke

The Jazz vs New Zealand Breakers was a really fun game to watch, probably my favourite so far, the game from day one of the preseason I was most excited to watch was of course the Lakers and Twolves but with the father and son connection not playing together plus no AD no AntMan no Randle the game was more of a rookie showcase.

The Warriors play the Clippers tonight but it's Sunday when the Knicks play the Hornets iam looking forward to most.

The Clippers Vs Warriors preseason match up was as scrappy as you could expect 2 teams playing there first games in 5-6 months, some good flashes but mainly a mix of easy misses and turnovers to be fair tho the game winning 3 was pretty nice to see overall.

One thing I was sure of is that Kevin Porter Jr is not a good nba player, world of talent but low basketball IQ, could even say a poor man's JR Smith

I really feel sorry for Bronny James getting so much hate for being in the league, I don't dislike him at all but its clear he's not good enough to have a roster spot nor a guaranteed contract.

Its always great seeing the nba return to Seattle the city definitely deserves the Sonics back ,its a shame that Blazers sat out so many players that's could of made the game vs the Clippers a more interesting game but it is only preseason I guess.

I really hope when the nba expands that the Sonics make a return.

It was pretty tough watching the traded knicks return to the garden last night and definitely didn't just feel like a preseason game through the first 3 quarters with Donte and Edwards putting on a show, glad the knicks dragged it out for a win

Bulls also with a less than ideal start. Good to see Lonzo back on the court, though!

Nice win over the Bucks tho!

Iam actually loving what iam seeing around the league so far in terms of effort from teams on defence and ball movement, iam also noticing alot more bigs getting closer to the basket and the mid range shot not only making a comeback but being knocked down at a higher clip, I've not fact checked that but definitely looks like a better brand of basketball.

Nice bounce back win in last night's home opener. Ball movement was crisp. Only thing that bothers me is the lack of size. Knicks could use another rim protector.

The Bulls began the 2005 season 0-9 and came storming back to have their best season in years, so these Bulls twenty years later are already off to a better start. I'll take it!

I think this rookie center Ariel Hukporti can be that guy, i like him better than Sims already but let's not forget we still have Precious Achiuwa to retun.

The Lakers off to a hot start under JJ Redick too, best start in years there saying.

Watching the Bulls and Thunder combine to shoot 23/93 from downtown yesterday sure was something.

Yeah they fit the narrative of just because you can shoot it doesn't mean you should!

The Bucks are looking shocking so far and definitely vs the Nets and I have to agree with people who blame the coaching of Doc and Ham here.

Just about to watch the Clippers vs Warriors, glad Buddy has lived up to being the new splash brother.

That was a nasty looking I injury for Tyler Hendickks, a freak injury on a non contract play.

Reminded me of Brad Miller breaking his leg in the layup line pre game

Iam glad the league fined the Sixers 100k for sitting out and saying Embiid won't play back to back games, it's becoming a joke the way players rest and it was bad enough them doing it down the stretch but to be doing it straight out the gate is embarrassing.

Agreed. I mean, it's a drop in the bucket for an NBA team to have to pay, but I'm glad to see the league take any kind of stand here.
